Early life and education

His father, an officer in the Yugoslav People's Army, passed away when Stanković was 13.[2][3] At 15 years old, in 1985, he moved to Zagreb with his mother to attend high school at the Center for Administration and Justice.[3][4][5] He graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Zagreb in 1995.

Aleksandar Stanković is married to Željka Stanković since 2012,[6] with whom he has two children.[7] He has been struggling with clinical depression since 2010,[8] about which he wrote two books – Depra and F32 – in hopes to break up the stigma around the subject and to help people with similar conditions.[9][10]

Radio and television career

Soon after graduating Stanković got a job at Croatian Radio in the info–politics department. He was host of the show Poligraf in 1998.[11]Since 2000, Stanković has been an editor and host of Nedjeljom u dva on Croatian Radiotelevision. He has interviewed many Croatian and regional politicians like Ivo Sanader, Milan Bandić, Andrej Plenković, Milorad Dodik, Boris Tadić, Zdravko Mamić, and others.[12][13][14][15] In 2024, Stanković announced that the show will no longer be exclusive to political discussions and will welcome guests from all walks of life.[16]

He appeared in cameo roles in the series Bitange i princeze and Dobre namjere, playing as the "famous bald man". He is the author of the documentary films Moje želje moji snovi (2004) and Tata ide u pan (2005), as well as the travel series Vjetar u kosi (2014, 2015, 2016).[11]
