Reference excerpt

Ratko Mitrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ратко Митровић; born 1956) is a Montenegrin civil engineer, university professor, scientist and government official, serving as Minister of Ecology, Spatial Planning and Urbanism of Montenegro in the cabinet of Zdravko Krivokapić, since December 2020. In addition to his academic career at the University of Montenegro, he is one of the founders of the non-governmental organization called "We won't give up Montenegro" (Ne damo Crnu Goru), which was founded by Montenegrin professors and intellectuals in support of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro after a controversial religion law targeted the legal status and the property of the Church.

Early life and education Mitrović was born in 1956 in Podgorica, Montenegro which at the time was a part of the FPR Yugoslavia. He graduated in 1981 at two departments of the University of Niš's Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering, the Department of Construction and Design of multi-storey Buildings and the Department of Construction and Design of Infrastructure Buildings. He then enrolled postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade, and defended his master's thesis on the topic of improving the technology of prefabricated building systems in 1991. Mitrović received his doctorate in 1994 at the Technical Faculty of the University of Novi Sad's Department of Management and Construction Technologies, defending his doctoral dissertation called "Technical and technological modeling of organizational structures of construction companies in market conditions." During 1997 and 1998, he attended postdoctoral studies at the public University of Florida.

Career

Professional career He started his professional career in 1980s as an engineer for the development of new technologies in the General Construction Company in Titograd (now Podgorica), then capital of SR Montenegro of SFR Yugoslavia, where he soon became the head of operations for the construction of high-rise buildings. Then, in 1987, he started working to Montenegro state-owned electricity company (Elektroprivreda Crne Gore) as the chief engineer and construction manager. Between 1991 and 2000, he managed the construction of several residential buildings and cultural institutions in capital Podgorica, as well in several other Montenegrin settlements. He was also the director of the construction of the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica, completed in 2013. In recent years, he has been working on research in the field of renewable energy sources. He is the author of dozens of protected conceptual solutions for the hydropower use of watercourses, as well as several protected conceptual solutions for the use of solar energy.

Academic career Mitrović is a full professor at the Faculties of Architecture and of Civil Engineering of the University of Montenegro, where he teaches several subjects: Elements of buildings, Technology of construction of hydropower facilities, New technologies and materials, Organization of construction and Project Management. At the Faculty of Architecture, he is the head of the department of master's studies. He was hired as a guest lecturer at few faculties in Serbia, the United Kingdom and in Italy.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ratko Mitrović

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ratko Mitrović claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ratko Mitrović before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ratko Mitrović ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ratko Mitrović

In research: Ratko Mitrović appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ratko Mitrović in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ratko Mitrović is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1956 births, 21st-century civil engineers, Academic staff of the University of Montenegro, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ratko Mitrović outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
