Notă biografică

Born in an area of constant political change in what was once Yugoslavia and is now Serbia. Zoran Nikolic saw the impact political change had on people's daily lives. This interest in geography extended outside Eastern Europe and became a lifetime fascination with political geography.
His first book, The Atlas of Unusual Borders, was shortlisted in 2019 for the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards.
