Biography

He is the Montenegro record holder in hammer throw with 57.89m throw set on 25 June 1962.[1] He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade (capital of Yugoslavia), where he took part in the 1968 student demonstrations. Because of this and his radical leftist ideas, Šoškić was in conflict with the Yugoslavian communist authorities, so he left Yugoslavia in 1969 and settled in Bologna, Italy. In 1972, he moved to Rome where he has lived ever since.

gollark: The thing shipped with potatOS uses events, timing *and* memory addresses.
