"My talent was recognized by my teacher, Ranko Milanović, who was a sculptor. He started an art section, took us to his studio, and that was when I knew I wanted to follow that path. Later, Milanović prepared me for the entrance exam to the Secondary School of Arts, Sculpture Department. I remember he was very strict—I would spend up to five hours at a time in the studio without leaving—but I passed," says graphic artist Milijanko Miholjčić, who was a guest on the program Where (Not) Culture Happens on Standard Classic Radio.

The beginning of 2026 marked an important turning point for StandardPrva. After a period of stable growth, we decided to enter a new investment cycle. Rather than maintaining our existing business model, we have dedicated a significant share of our resources to developing new business activities, strengthening our existing companies, and creating long-term value for our clients, employees, and the wider community.

Over the past few years, we have witnessed the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into nearly every business sector. However, few expected that the legal profession—traditionally one of the most conservative professions—would become one of the most dynamic markets for the application of AI technologies. One company leading this transformation is the Swedish startup Legora.

A diploma is not the end of learning. It is merely a ticket into a world where knowledge is tested, expanded, and challenged every single day.

There are moments in life when we stop and look toward the horizon. Sometimes it is a gaze directed at the stars, sometimes at a city waking up, and sometimes at an empty plot of land where others see only soil, while we see something much more. Far more. It is precisely in those moments that ideas are born—ideas that later change our lives.

The world of economics and finance has lost one of its most influential figures. Alan Greenspan, the longtime Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), passed away at the age of 100, leaving behind a legacy that shaped the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.

When the Stevanović Law Office was founded nearly three decades ago, followed by StandardPrva, the goal was not merely to create successful companies. From the very beginning, the vision was to build something that would outlive its founders and remain available to generations to come.

In recent days, markets have reacted positively to reports of a potential agreement between the United States and Iran. Oil prices have fallen below $80 per barrel, marking the first time since the beginning of the conflict that markets have shown significant optimism.

Over the past months, the global economy has closely monitored developments in relations between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Following months of tensions, military confrontations, sanctions, and serious disruptions to international trade, it has been announced that the two countries have reached a framework agreement that includes a cessation of hostilities, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping, and the continuation of political negotiations on outstanding issues.

Many businesses have quality products, a stable customer base, and respectable revenues, yet still find themselves struggling to pay salaries, taxes, social contributions, or suppliers on time. The reason is simple: there is a significant difference between reported profit and available cash.

In a time when many are looking for reasons to postpone, we are looking for ways to get things done. While others wait for a better market, better circumstances, or the perfect moment, we build. Step by step. Day by day. Client by client.

This is not a story about feminism in its political sense, nor is it a conventional biography of the celebrated author of Sexual Politics. Rather, it is a profound reflection on the limits of language, the nature of human suffering, and the role of art in a world that often refuses to listen.

While most developed countries are facing declining birth rates and an aging population, Switzerland is engaged in a completely different debate – whether the time has come to legally limit the number of people who can live in the country. In June 2026, Swiss citizens voted on one of the most unusual political initiatives in modern Europe: a proposal that Switzerland’s population should not exceed 10 million by 2050.

The European financial sector is witnessing one of the biggest banking moves of recent years.

Aleksandar Stojanović, better known to the wider public as “Aca Informacija,” is one of the most recognizable sports journalists, commentators, and media personalities in the region.

Domestic violence represents one of the most serious challenges facing modern society. Although legal mechanisms for the protection of victims have been strengthened in recent years, the number of reported cases of domestic violence remains a cause for concern. Particularly alarming is the fact that violence affects the most vulnerable categories of the population – women, children, the elderly, and individuals who are especially dependent on family members.

Attorney Miloš Stevanović appeared on the morning program of Radio Television of Republika Srpska (RTRS) on June 3, 2026, where he discussed the initiation of proceedings before the Constitutional Court of Republika Srpska regarding a decision adopted by the Management Board of the Banking Agency of Republika Srpska concerning fees for the registration and operation of licensed exchange offices.

That “thread” was God.

The arrival of Biljana Simeunović represents a significant reinforcement for the StandardPrva Group and confirms the company’s commitment to providing its clients with the highest level of expertise, professionalism, and legal certainty

At StandardPrva, we believe that the greatest achievements are created precisely at the point where dreams and reality meet. Every successful company was once only a thought in someone’s mind. Every investment began as a sketch on paper. Every great building started as an architect’s drawing. Every successful entrepreneur first had a vision, and only afterwards achieved results.

May 2026 was marked by a combination of geopolitical tensions, shifts in monetary policy, energy uncertainty, and rapid technological development. During this month, the global economy was not confronted with a traditional recession, but numerous international institutions warned that global growth was under significant pressure and entering a period of heightened uncertainty.

On the StandardClassic Radio platform, the first episode of the StandardClassic Podcast has successfully aired, hosted by lawyer and entrepreneur Miloš Stevanović.

While major economic reforms are often discussed through complicated legal expressions and financial terminology, the essence of some laws is actually very simple — to make life easier for citizens. That is precisely the purpose of the new Law on Payment Services, which is expected to soon be presented before the National Assembly of Republika Srpska.

The guest of the first episode of “Where (Non)Culture Is Trending” on Standard Classic Radio was Mirna Jovanović. Jovanović was born in Doboj in 1990, but her roots are connected to Bijeljina, where she first moved at the age of two during the war years. Mirna enrolled at the Academy of Arts in Bijeljina in 2009 and belonged to the fourth generation of actors in the city, studying under Professor Jug Radivojević.

In the business world, luxury is often misunderstood as simply a higher level of a premium product — something better, more expensive, higher in quality, and rarer. However, The Luxury Strategy demonstrates that luxury is not merely a higher price. Luxury is a unique civilizational category. It belongs not only to the market, but also to culture, symbols, identity, and the way society understands value.

Many people ask me what drives me forward. Sometimes the question comes from curiosity. Sometimes from amazement. Sometimes from a quiet doubt that a person cannot endure for long the pace of waking before dawn, arriving at the company while the city is still asleep, leading people, projects, clients, ideas, disputes, plans, and responsibilities that often extend beyond a single day, a single month, or even a single year. My answer is simple, yet far from small: I am driven by inspiration and God

While most of the world is fascinated by the spectacular rise of artificial intelligence, behind the scenes one of the largest investment transformations in modern economic history is taking place. Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet (Google) are no longer investing billions — they are investing hundreds of billions of dollars into infrastructure designed to support a new era of the digital economy.

The election of Pope Lav at a time of deep geopolitical fragmentation and energy uncertainty is not only a religious event or a symbolic change at the top of the Catholic Church. In the modern world, where capital markets, geopolitics, religion, and energy function as interconnected systems, any major global figure capable of influencing diplomatic relations, public opinion, and regional stability automatically becomes a factor in economic expectations.

The head of the World Cup organization under Donald Trump told fans who cannot afford expensive tickets to watch the matches on television or in fan zones instead of coming to the stadium.

Standard Classic Radio is proud to invite all elementary and secondary music schools, academies, professors, parents, students, and pupils to become part of a new project dedicated to young talents and the future of classical music:

“HOUR FOR STUDENTS AND PUPILS”

Throughout the many years of work of this law office, a large number of law students have had the opportunity to become familiar with the practical challenges involved in applying the theoretical knowledge acquired during their studies, both through internships and through motivational lectures delivered by attorney Miloš Stevanović, which have been highly noted and well attended.

With special pleasure, emotion, and pride, today we announce the launch of our radio station – STANDARDCLASSIC RADIO.

Behind the rise in price itself lies a far more complex story — a story of fear, capital redistribution, unusual central bank interventions, and certain market anomalies that are raising serious questions among some investors.

Speaking about the condition of the European economy, Ermotti emphasized that the problem is no longer limited exclusively to regulation of the banking sector, but rather to “excessive regulation across all areas of business.” In his opinion, enormous bureaucracy, the slowness of institutional systems, and the lack of innovation are the key reasons why Europe is gradually losing the economic race against other global centers of power.

The modern business world defines luxury in a completely different way. The world’s largest companies, banks, consulting firms, and family holding systems no longer invest in luxury for prestige, but for the quality of decisions, the quality of human relationships, and the quality of everyday life.

At a time when the musical world is increasingly turning toward transient forms of expression, the passing of Ruth Slenczynska reminds us of an era in which art was discipline, dedication—and destiny.

Ironically, on Labor Day, May 1, 2026, it may be recorded in the history of economics as the day when an era of global energy policy came to an end.

StandardPlaza, a project currently under development, introduces one of its defining segments: the concert hall “Cvijeta Stevanović” — a space where music finds its rightful place.

StandardPrva is not just a company, nor a traditional consulting platform. It is an organized system of interconnected activities, where each segment has a clearly defined role while operating in synergy with others. At its core lies legal practice as the foundation of legal security, supported by accounting and tax services that ensure financial transparency and compliance, as well as technological and operational capacities that enable efficient business process management.

Republika Srpska is entering one of the most significant investment phases in its modern economic history through the implementation of the main gas pipeline Šepak – Novi Grad, a project whose total value exceeds one billion convertible marks and which is already positioning itself as the largest energy infrastructure undertaking in the country.

At the most recent Milan Fashion Week, the focus of the global business community was not solely on aesthetics, but on an industry attempting to redefine its own identity. The show of Gucci symbolically marked the beginning of a new phase—not just for the brand, but for the entire luxury sector.

In the modern European financial architecture, consolidation is no longer a matter of choice but of necessity. The latest example comes from the heart of the European Union’s banking system, where the Italian banking giant UniCredit has openly expressed interest in acquiring Germany’s Commerzbank.

Warnings voiced at recent meetings of international financial institutions, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, clearly indicate a new phase in the evolution of the global financial system: artificial intelligence is no longer viewed solely as a tool for efficiency, but as a potential source of systemic risk.

In recent weeks, public discourse has intensified around the potential sale of the OnlyFans platform and its market valuation, which, according to available sources, exceeds 3 billion US dollars. Such an estimate is not unfounded, but it requires a more thorough analysis through the lens of the business model, regulatory risks, and revenue structure.

With the launch of the classical music radio station Standard Classic Radio, StandardPrva confirms its commitment to creating value that goes beyond the purely business framework and enters the space of culture, identity, and lasting heritage.

The recent decision by OpenAI to make its advanced security model available to a limited circle of key clients confirms what has long been evident: cybersecurity is no longer an operational issue – it has become a strategic category of risk management.

The Strait of Hormuz is not just a geographic passage between Iran and Oman – it is an artery of the global economy. Its importance is not only economic, but deeply political, military, and strategic.

At StandardPrva, we believe that serious growth is never the result of one person, one idea, or one moment, but of a team that knows how to think, act, and progress together.

There are victories the world sees—and there are victories the world does not understand. The triumph of good over evil is not a matter of possibility, but of inevitability.

In a world of rapid reactions, constant pressure to respond, and an almost instinctive urge to counter every challenge, there exists an idea rooted in a much deeper, older, and more sophisticated system of thought—Chinese strategic philosophy.

The company Standard Prva proudly announces the launch of the official web platform, the Standard Plaza website, as well as its formal entry into one of the most significant development initiatives in the region – the Standard Plaza project

The Branislav and Vesna Stevanović Foundation, as an institution grounded in principles of excellence, a culture of dialogue, social responsibility, and lasting value, necessarily operates in a space where different personalities, ambitions, interests, and emotional patterns intersect.

Capital moves faster than ever, regulatory frameworks are being redefined, and business decisions require both courage and precision at the same time. In such an environment, the greatest value is no longer just information — but the ability to properly understand it and transform it into a stable strategy.

The UAE injected around $8 billion into the banking sector due to a sudden drop in liquidity. The time is coming for private credit funds.

In classical economic theory, war and geopolitical instability almost as a rule lead to capital withdrawal, increased risk aversion, and reduced investment activity. However, the modern global economy is increasingly demonstrating the exact opposite pattern of behavior. Instead of paralysis – acceleration occurs.

StandardPrva does not see its continuity solely in short-term profit behavior, but in deep ethical and moral foundations with a vision that reaches far ahead.

We analyze whether going to the seaside this year is more often paid directly from citizens’ pockets or financed through bank loans and credit cards, and the impact of this behavior on overall consumption.

StandardPrva sees every crisis as an opportunity to create new value in an ethical and socially responsible way. Discover our approach to this phenomenon.

Over the past decade, the global financing market has been undergoing a quiet yet profound transformation. Traditional banks are no longer the sole source of capital for companies. On the contrary, an increasing share of financing is coming from outside the banking system—through so-called private credit

The StandardPrva analysis points to conclusion: culture represents one of the most underutilized sources of long-term and sustainable growth—both spiritual and financial.

The global aviation industry is experiencing one of its toughest periods since the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest data indicate losses exceeding $53 billion, confirming that the sector is once again entering a high-risk zone—this time influenced by geopolitics, energy costs, and structural weaknesses in the business model.

A professional conference titled “Energy and Geopolitics of the Region: Pipelines as Instruments of Geopolitics” was held in Banja Luka, bringing together relevant experts, representatives of institutions, and the business sector, with the aim of addressing key energy and geopolitical issues in the region.

The migration of Credit Suisse clients to UBS’s platform represents one of the most demanding operational and technological undertakings in modern banking. It is a process that goes beyond traditional integration and enters the realm of systemic transformation—both business and technological.

The 2026 tourist season will be shaped by a combination of a stabilized global market and an increasingly pronounced demand for quality, authenticity, and personalized experiences. After a period of intensive recovery, tourism is entering a phase of maturity—where the number of guests is no longer the key factor, but rather their structure, purchasing power, and the expectations of the modern traveler.

In the recent period, the price of crude oil has recorded a noticeable increase. The market reacts to every piece of news indicating potential disruptions in supply or transportation. Such changes are relatively quickly reflected in the prices of petroleum products, including gasoline and diesel.

The Branislav and Vesna Stevanović Foundation was created from a simple but powerful idea – to return the good that we received in life to the community from which we came.

The Strait of Hormuz represents the lifeline of energy supply for a large part of the world. European countries are seeking special arrangements for passage. What is the fate of such requests?

With great pleasure, we announce the upcoming launch of the Branislav and Vesna Stevanović Foundation, an initiative born from the belief that knowledge, culture, and the entrepreneurial spirit are the foundation of every healthy society.

StandardPrva provides legal, financial, and business support 24 hours a day because we know that key decisions are often made precisely when others are not working.

The work week from March 2 to March 6, 2026 left the impression that the world was once again on the edge of major geopolitical upheavals. News changed from hour to hour: escalation of conflict in the Middle East, dramatic reactions of financial markets, warnings from energy companies, and nervousness among investors around the world. In such an atmosphere, many began to wonder whether we are at the beginning of a new global crisis or simply witnessing another cycle of instability that the global system must absorb.

March 8th is not just a date on the calendar. It is a day that reminds us of the historic struggle for equality, the right to vote, the right to education, the right to choose, and the right to dignity.

The economy of the Republic of Srpska is in a specific position. On one hand, it is a relatively small economy operating within the complex constitutional system of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the other hand, the Republic of Srpska possesses significant development potential – natural resources, a stable monetary structure, and a relatively competitive tax system.

In times of economic uncertainty, the same question almost always arises: Is it smarter to pull back, reduce expenses, and wait for more stable conditions — or is it precisely the right time to increase investments?

Monday at StandardPrva does not begin with an alarm – it begins with intention. We start as early as five.

This was not just a fashion show. It was a signal to the market.

The Middle East is once again at the center of global attention. The escalation of conflict in and around Iran represents one of the most serious security crises in recent years, with the potential to evolve into a broader regional, and even global, disruption. While the military dimension of the conflict is most closely followed through reports of attacks and counterattacks, the true depth of the crisis will be measured by its economic consequences.

The appointment of Sanae Takaichi as Japan’s Prime Minister marks a new political and strategic phase for this Asian power. As one of the most influential politicians within the Liberal Democratic Party, Takaichi takes leadership at a time when Japan is repositioning itself as a strong and confident actor in Asia and beyond.

In a world where borders matter less and speed makes the difference, StandardPrva has learned how to operate without time zones.

In July 1944, while the World War II was still ongoing, representatives of 44 countries gathered in the small town of Bretton Woods in the U.S. state of New Hampshire with an ambitious goal: to design a new economic order for a world that would soon emerge from the ruins of war.

The Law Office Stevanović from Bijeljina has initiated proceedings before the Constitutional Court of Republika Srpska seeking a review of the constitutionality of a provision of the Law on the Chamber of Commerce of Republika Srpska which prescribes mandatory membership for all legal entities registered in the court registry.
