Education

Jeremić was born in Belgrade in 1975. He began his high school studies in Belgrade, but completed his secondary school studies in London. As a member of Queens' College he graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Theoretical Physics.

He worked for a number of financial institutions in the City of London, including Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Kleinwort, and then for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals.

He attended the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, graduating with a degree of Master in Public Administration in International Development (MPA/ID).

He was a founder and the financial manager of the Organization of Serbian Students Abroad (OSSI), the first international organization of Serbian students, which at the time had several thousand members.cite web|url=http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/kokkalis/past_fellows.html|title=Kokkalis program on SEE and CE:Past Fellows|publisher=John F.

Political career

Following the democratic changes in Belgrade in October 2000, he worked as an adviser to the Minister of Telecommunications of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and then in June 2003 joined the Ministry of Defense of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro in the capacity of the Special Envoy for Euro-Atlantic Affairs.

From July 2004 to May 2007, he served as Senior Foreign Policy Adviser to Boris Tadić, President of Serbia (with whom he worked in Ministry of Telecommunications and Ministry of Defense). In February 2004 he was appointed Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Democratic Party, and in February 2006 to the Main Board of the Democratic Party.

On May 19, 2007 he said the current administration in Serbia will lose its mandate if Kosovo is granted independence, sending Serbia back to the "traumatic isolation" of its past. The European Union and the United States support a proposed plan of United Nations-supervised independence for Kosovo but Russia, Serbia's traditional ally, continues to oppose any resolution granting independence.

During the period after the Kosovo independence declaration in 2008, Jeremić lobbied across the world against the recognition. He traveled to countries with which Serbia enjoys good relations from the times of Yugoslavia and some of these visits were the first after a lengthy economic and political crisis in Serbia, during which the normal diplomacy development was prevented. His visits included those to Central and South America (Argentina [ [http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=04&dd=14&nav_id=49390 Jeremić travels to Argentina] ] , Brazil [ [http://www.novosti.rs/code/navigate.php?Id=1&status=jedna&vest=118912 Jeremić: Čvrst stav Brazila o KiM] ] and Mexico [ [http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Srpski/spopol/CI/KIM/160408_s.html JEREMIC: I MEKSIKO SNAZNO PROTIV JEDNOSTRANE NEZAVISNOSTI] ] ), Africa (Egypt [ [http://www.rtv.rs/sr/vesti/politika/politika/2008_08_04/vest_75932.jsp Jeremić danas u Egiptu] ] and Libya [ [http://www.blic.co.yu/politika.php?id=34401 Libija protiv nezavisnosti Kosova] ] ) and Asia (China [ [http://www.ds.org.yu/sr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5798&Itemid=71&lang=lat Jeremić: Igre nisu samo sportski, već i politički skup] ] , Indonesia [ [http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Srpski/spopol/CI/KIM/270308_s.html JEREMIC: PUNA PODRSKA INDONEZIJE PROTIV NEZAVISNOSTI KOSOVA] ] , Malaysia [ [http://www.blic.co.yu/politika.php?id=52730 Jeremić: Malezija zamrzla odluku o priznavanju Kosova] ] and Singapore [ [http://glassrbije.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16590&Itemid=151 Jeremić: Singapur će podržati inicijativu Srbije u UN] ] ).
