Živorad Marković, the oldest living man in Serbia, recently passed away in Belgrade, at the age of 106.

Živorad Marković (Serbian: Живорад Марковић) was born in Valjevo, Serbia, on 9 October 1919, as one of six siblings.

He graduated from the Artillery Officer School in Belgrade in 1945 and served as an artillery officer. After finishing school, he went to Zagreb, Croatia, then to Ćuprija, and later to Kumanovo. From 1970 onward, he lived in Belgrade, where he remained until the end of his life.

On 12 January 2024, following the passing of 106-year-old Živan Popović, he became the oldest known living man in Serbia.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Živorad Marković during this difficult time.
