Mirković grew up in his native place Nevade, attended the primary school in Svračkovci (1950–54), and the secondary school (gymnasium) in Gornji Milanovac, where he graduated with maturity diploma in 1962, then he studied at the Department of Yugoslav Literature and Serbo-Croatian language of the Philological Faculty of Belgrade’s University, graduated with diploma in 1966, and continued postgraduate studies until 1968.

After completion of his studies, he stayed in the Serbian capital and taught in the field of teacher education until 1973, and exactly this year, he started his working career at TV Belgrade, became editor-in chief of educational program in 1975, then he took over the editorial management of the cultural program from 1983 to 1991, and at least, he became appointed member of the TV board of directors in 1996, but two years ago, he already left the broadcast corporation, switched to publishing business and became managing director of the renowned Prosveta company, which he led successfully from 1994 to 2000.

[1][2][3] He was also a member of the Socialist Party (SPS) due to his cultural-political work and position, but in January 1993, he was sent together with many other journalists to a so called compulsory vacation, a euphemistic expression of the Milošević regime, with which they were effectively removed from public life, and their oppositional influence on the society should be prevented by this measure.

[4][5] In consequence, a faction under the leadership of Mirković split off from the SPS with the aim of establishing a Social Democratic Party, seeking to present a reformist political agenda.

[9] In the field of contemporary Serbian literature, Mirković was considered to be an experienced assessor, whose reviews were based on extensive aesthetic knowledge, which he was able to convey in a popular way, both with empathy and perceptive statement, but always at a high level without any polemic nuances.
