Translations that institutions accept without questions.

I came to translation by an unusual road — through professional sport and public administration, two worlds where precision is not optional. Then again, not entirely unusual: translation runs in my family — my father Goran was a lawyer and translator, so I practically grew up among languages and legal texts.

After a successful basketball career, I spent the last twelve years at the Serbian Pension and Disability Insurance Fund (PIO Fund), working daily with some of the most sensitive personal documentation there is: employment records, service histories, pension decisions and disability claims. The cases that crossed my desk were the complex ones — incomplete records, paperwork split between former Yugoslav republics, files where a single misread date can cost someone months of waiting.

That experience shapes the way I translate today. I know the documents that travel between Serbia and Croatia not as abstract texts, but as paperwork with real consequences — I processed them from the inside. From me you get three things: absolute discretion, meticulous accuracy with names, dates and terminology, and translations that institutions on both sides of the border accept without delay.

And when I'm not working — you'll still find me on a basketball court. Some habits are worth keeping.
