Srđan Kusovac is a Serbian-Montenegrin journalist.
Currently, he's the editor-in-chef of Montenegrin government-owned daily newspaper Pobjeda, the post to which he was named after being the media adviser to Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Đukanović.
Born and raised in Belgrade, Kusovac started getting involved with media in 1984 through Radio Beograd 202 where he worked on the staff of Index 202, the station's daily youth programme. Simultaneously, Kusovac wrote for Indexovo radio pozorište, satirical comedy programme on Radio Beograd 202 that aired weekly. Already popular in Belgrade and the rest of Serbia, the radio programme also gained some prominence throughout SFR Yugoslavia so that it soon started airing live while being performed in front of a theater audience. Some of those live airings were basis for the productions that were later performed around the country as Indexovo radio pozorište partly evolved into a theater troupe. Kusovac wrote one such show, 1986's "Znanje imanje", which aired live on radio while simultaneously being performed in Duško Radović Theater. He left Index 202 and Indexovo radio pozorište in mid 1987.
Kusovac then worked on Radio B92 until 1993. In 1993 he was part of Radio Brod (shot lived European Union-sponsored broadcasting outlet that aired in the former Yugoslav republics while the Yugoslav Wars were in full swing), before getting a job on Radio Free Europe, first as a correspondent from the Balkans and later in the station's headquarters in Prague. Simultaneously, he contributed to various print media outlets throughout the Balkans. From July 2006 until March 2008, he maintained a blog on B92.net website.[1][2]
Kusovac was employed at RFE/RL until 2007, which is when he moved his family to Montenegro. Simultaneously, in Belgrade, he was one of the founders of e-novine.com, far left wing web portal. In July 2008, Kusovac became the media adviser to Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Đukanović, presiding over the media fallout from the Montenegrin recognition of unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo.
