He was the son of the first President of the Republic of Macedonia, Kiro Gligorov.
Life
[edit]Gligorov was born in 1945 in Belgrade, DF Yugoslavia, as the son of Kiro Gligorov and Nada Gligorova.[5] He earned his master's degree at the Columbia University and the University of Belgrade, working subsequently at both institutions as an assistant professor.[6] At the University of Belgrade he worked at the Faculty of Political Sciences.[6] In the 1970s, he published articles in the Belgrade weekly newspaper Ekonomska politika (Economic policy), which had the aim of promoting socialist market economy as an alternative to Soviet-style centrally planned economy.[7] In 1990, he actively participated in the Macedonian Forum for Preparation of a Macedonian National Program (which discussed the status of the Yugoslav Federation and the Socialist Republic of Macedonia), along with his father.[8] Gligorov co-founded the political party Democratic Party (DS) in Serbia.[5] Due to a dispute following the attempted nomination of Tomislav Karađorđević as the party's presidential candidate in the 1990 elections, he left DS.[9] He cooperated with the Institute of Economic Sciences in Belgrade until 1991.[6] Gligorov was a Senior Research Associate at The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies, while also advising Macedonian president Branko Crvenkovski.[5][10] He worked as a lecturer at the University of Vienna and professor at the University of Graz.[6] He was a Visiting Fellow at George Mason University, University of Virginia, Uppsala University and Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen.[6]
Gligorov died in Vienna, Austria, on 27 October 2022, at the age of 77.[11]
