[5][6][1] Dimitrije Frušić was born in today's Vojvodina, in the village of Divoš, near Sremska Mitrovica in Fruška Gora, then part of the Habsburg monarchy.

[7][8] When the newspaper ran its course, Dimitrije Frušić, now a graduate from Medical School, left Vienna in 1819 for Trieste where he opened his practice and worked at a hospital there.

[10] As a student in Vienna Frušić, who had an excellent command of the German language,[11] served as an interpreter for Serbian envoy and Prota (priest) Matija Nenadović in the company of the Austrian emperor on two occasions.

[13] In the modest premises of his printing shop, Frušić opened a Reading Room equipped with Serbian books and Novine Serbske that also became a meeting place for intellectuals.

[14] Always impressed with Vuk Karadžić's work, Frušić raised money for the scholar with the help of such friends as Joakim Vujić, Atanasije Stojković, Pavle Solarić, and the wealthy Teodoroviches of Trieste.
