Professor Milutinovic spent about a decade (back in 80s) on various faculty
positions of Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA
(after he completed his Ph.D. in Belgrade, Serbia).
His scientific life has been influenced a lot by his close professional
friends in USA (Dr. Milligan), Germany (Prof. Neuhold), and Japan (Prof. Fujii).
For hundreds of years, since they moved from Serbia to Montenegro in 1389
(after the Kosovo battle),
my father-side ancestors were cattle breeders (ranceros),
until, in late 19th century,
when they discovered that going to America is fun.
Then, in mid 20th century, they discovered that doing PhD and science is inspirational
(my father and all his brothers had PhD or equivalent).
The following cycle was rotating for centuries:
In winters, they lived in Piperi, at the elevation of about 100 meters above sea.
In springs, when snows melt, they would move to the mountain Kamenik at about 1000 meters.
In summers, they would move to the mount Lukavica at about 2000 meters,
where the grass is the best, but snows last till June and return back in September.
In falls, they would go to the Bay of Kotor, where Tivat is, to load Venecian ships with their products.
