He had a distinguished diplomatic career in this capacity, serving in Istanbul, Sofia, Rome, Athens, Cairo, Madrid and Lisbon. Although he had previously expressed opposition to the idea of creating Yugoslavia, he became the new country's first ambassador to Romania (in 1937). He was awarded a law degree by the University of Geneva and, following his return from abroad, entered the Serbian diplomatic service in 1907. He worked as a teacher in several towns before returning to Mostar, where he founded (with Aleksa Šantić ) a literary magazine Zora ("Dawn").ĭučić's openly expressed Serbian patriotism caused difficulties with the authorities - at that time Bosnia-Herzegovina was de facto incorporated into the Austro-Hungarian Empire - and he moved abroad to pursue higher studies, mostly in Geneva and Paris. He moved on to a high school in Mostar and trained to become a teacher in Sombor. He was born in Trebinje in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he attended primary school. The exact date of Dučić's date of birth is still undetermined it is variously said to have been on February 17 (or February 5 according to the Julian calendar) of 1871, 1872, or 1874, with the latter date most often given. Jovan Dučić (Serbian Cyrillic: Јован Дучић) (1871-1943) was a famous Bosnian Serb poet, writer and diplomat.
