Biography
Nikola Lasica was born in Kragujevac, Serbia; which then was a part of Yugoslavia. The youngest child in his famil is his sister Gorica. He grew up during the most difficult period in his nation's history - dissolution of once great country due to the Yugoslav civil wars, Yugoslav hyperinflation of 1993, and the UN embargo against Yugoslavia. The years that followed saw the oppression of totalitarian regime of Slobodan Milosevic which culminated in NATO bombings of Serbia. These circumstances of his childhood influenced his political views and ideas.
