My name is Marko Djuranovic. I was born on 17th of July 1991 in Podgorica, Montenegro. I received Elementary education (8 years) at Primary school, in Podgorica, which I finished in 2006. For the maximal results in all the subjects, during the whole length of primary education, I received the highest acknowledgment possible - “Luca”. After primary school I have attended Civil Engineering Secondary school, also in Podgorica, Montenegro. I have completed it in 2010, with the best results in all the subjects studied. I again won “Luca” acknowledgment. In June 2010 the Council of Teachers elected me as the best pupil in the generation, and I received awards from both my Secondary school and the Municipality of Podgorica – capital of Montenegro. In 2010 I have entered Civil and Structural Engineering faculty in Podgorica, Montenegro. First three years of studies I have completed with all the subjects passed in the first exam period, and ended up with an average mark of 9,85/10. During this period I won a number of awards and scholarships, including all the most prestigious ones in Montenegro. I expect to finish my studies in Montenegro in July 2014. In April 2014 I was admitted to the Politecnico di Milano University in Italy at Master Course in Civil Engineering program and also won a scholarship from the same university. From September 2014 I will be in Milano, when school year begins. Apart from my mother tongue (MNE/SRB/CRO/BIH), I can speak English language. I am planning to start learning Italian. From the autumn 2004, I actively play volleyball at the Volleyball Club Buducnost (VCB), Podgorica, Montenegro - one of the two best clubs in Montenegro. I play at middle blocker position. In the field of sport I also have success. I participated in many national and international competitions, played for the Senior team of my club, and also for the National Team of Montenegro. In the process I won a large number of both individual and team awards and medals. With volleyball teams I have played for I’ve traveled a lot abroad and visited so many countries like Austria, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Belarus, Croatia, Denmark, Romania, Bosnia, Greece etc. For the Senior team, for the first time I played on 21st October in 2006, when I was under 16 years of age. At that time I was still a member of the youngest category in the club. With the Youth (2006 to 2009), Junior (2007 to 2010) and Senior team (since 2006) of the VCB I won numerous awards and medals. During the period I was a captain of all three selection of VCB. From the age of sixteenth, until now I have been selected for all the categories of the National team of Montenegro, including University team and Senior, i.e. A team of Montenegro.

For the Youth selection of my country I played since the year 2007 till 2010; in Juniors I played from 2008 to 2011, and for the first time I was on a wider list for the A team of MNE in 2008, and on the short list in May 2009. As a special success I would mention that in year 2008, at the age of seventeen, I was at the same time regular member of the start up line of both Youth/Junior National teams, and on the wide list for the A team of my country. I should mentioned that since 2010 I put the emphasis on my student activities, i.e. studies at the Civil and Structural Engineering faculty in Podgorica. Despite that I still manage, with the great effort, to fulfill my sport duties. During 2008, as one of the most talented young sportsman in Montenegro, I received a scholarship from the Olympic Committee of Montenegro. I was a member of the University team of Montenegro which played at the 25th Universiade, held in Belgrade, Serbia, in July 2009. In that championship - one of the world’s most prestigious competitions in sport as a general - our National team took eleventh place.
