He obtained an MA degree in 2003, defending a thesis titled ’The monograph “The Spatial Aspects of the Wind Farm Impact on “The Implementation of an Environmental Management System in Spatial ON THE ENVIRONMENT the Environment” by Dr Boško Josimović examines thoroughly a Planning”, and a PhD in 2008, with a dissertation titled “The Spatial Aspect in specific aspect of the environmental impact assessment of wind Managing Communal Waste in the Region of Kolubara”. Both his MA and PhD farms, also applicable in developing strategic environmental theses were defended in the Spatial Research and Planning programme at the assessments.
