He began to study at the University of Belgrade; however his education there was interrupted by the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941.
Later, he acted as a go-between on behalf of the Yugoslavian embassy to the Holy See, communicating with the many Yugoslav Jews who were hidden in Italy at the time.
