Andrej Nikolaidis was born in 1974 to a mixed Montenegrin-Greek family and raised in Sarajevo, Bosnia/Herzegovina. An ardent supporter of Montenegrin independence, anti-war activist and promoter of human rights, especially minority rights, Nikolaidis initially became known for his political views and public feuds, appearing on local television and in newspapers with his razor-sharp political commentaries. Nikolaidis writes weekly news magazine Slobodna Bosna and is a columnist of Delo (Ljubljana) and E-novine (Belgrade), and presently resides in Ulcinj. He also writes for the UK newspaper, The Guardian
