We have been collaborating with Dejan for years on various projects related to the production of video content for the website Polovni automobili. Considering that we have several videos monthly, we are in daily communication, which has been great from the very beginning. Dejan really has interesting ideas and suggestions on how we can implement something we imagined together in the best way, he is realistic, responsible, and pragmatic, and the result is clearly visible in each of our 200+ videos that have really high visibility. He has a very good perception, the ability to observe through the eyes of the camera, so he is able to translates each of our stories into a video very effectively. In his work, he shows exceptional dedication to the project, responsibility, flexibility, and efficiency in realization. He is available for all consultations, always makes constructive suggestions, open to discussing potential changes, very reliable and trustworthy. He is detail oriented and communicates very clearly and precisely. We hope that our cooperation will last for a long time.

I started collaborating with Dejan after he had been recommended to me and I also saw some of his previous work. I hadn't at that point known him personally and I wasn't sure his sensibility would be up to the task in this project.
In spite of that, all it took was one conversation to realize that I have a professional before me, one that fully commits himself to the client and is very persistent in accomplishing the best for both sides until the very end of the work process. Communication with Dejan was one of the best and smoothest I had in my 20 year long career. Final product of our collaboration was an excellent short movie, admired by everyone who has seen it and not only by its target group.
Should the need for a similar project ever arise, Dejan is definitely the first person I'll come to.

Dejan Zivkovic has been engaged as director for several documentary film productions in cooperation with Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) during my tenure as Regional Director of NPA in the Balkans. Some of the documentaries were broadcasted on the Norwegian national broadcasting corporation NRK, as part of a fund raising effort for humanitarian demining in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Not least due to Dejan Zivkovic's excellent work in conveying messages from people living in mine-affected areas, the event raised more than Euro 100,000 in one day in Norway in October 2011.
In our cooperation, Mr. Zivkovic has demonstrated that he is a very creative and hard-working individual with excellent ideas, and he works very well with people from different ethnic backgrounds and various age groups. He never loses his calm and focus when exposed to hardship associated with field assignments and tight deadlines.
I hope to have the opportunity to work with Dejan Zivkovic again in the future and I give him my best recommendations.
