When Zeljko Bogetic came to UConn in from Montenegro in the former Yugoslavia, he planned to get his master’s degree in economics in just 10 months, the amount of time covered by his Fulbright Scholarship.

But coming to UConn “turned out to be a fantastic decision,” he says, and he stayed to earn a Ph.D.

in economics in and to publish his dissertation on the Yugoslavian economy.

Today, Bogetic is the lead economist for Russia at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. He went to work at the World Bank directly from UConn as part of its Young Professionals program, an elite group of 25 to 30 people recruited each year from around the world.

Being an economist has offered him opportunities to work globally and to tackle real world policy issues, Bogetic says.

His earlier assignment at the World Bank was to South Africa, “another fascinating country,” he says, with its vast territory, resources, infrastructure, and internal ethnic tension.

He lives in Moscow now, traveling to D.C.
