Ognjen Tus

Ognjen Tus was born in 1950 in Belgrade, to the family of a Yugoslav National Army officer. Both of his parents participated in the Partisan movement. Following the Second World War, his father performed military duties in the Yugoslav National Army. As a result of his father's postings, the family lived in various places in Yugoslavia until 1966, when they permanently settled in Zagreb. Ognjen Tus therefore had the opportunity to live in a range of different environments. During the time of Yugoslavia he was not keen on subscribing to the predominant ideology, but rather chose his own path of pondering social reality. At the beginning of the war in the 1990s he joined the anti-war movement. He was one of the founders of the Anti-war Campaign in Croatia, and later of ZaMir, the first internet model of communication established in the war zone.
