Andrej Nikolaidis (born 1974, Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Bosnian novelist, columnist, and political adviser. From October 2009 to February 2014 he was adviser to Ranko Krivokapić, speaker of the Montenegrin Parliament. ==Biography== Nikolaidis was born and raised in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia to a mixed Montenegrin-Greek family. In 1992, following the breakout of ethnic strife in Bosnia that soon evolved into all-out war, Nikolaidis's family moved to the Montenegrin town of Ulcinj, his father's hometown, where he owns a summer house. An ardent supporter of Montenegrin independence,〔(Andrej Nikolaidis: Još nismo istinski suvereni, Portal Jutarnji.hr, November 4, 2006 )〕 anti-war activist and promoter of human rights, especially minority rights, Nikolaidis initially became known for his political views and public feuds, appearing on local television and in newspapers with his razor-sharp political commentaries. His writings for ''Monitor'' and ''Slobodna Bosna'' aroused controversy and he ''"received threats, including death threats, after publishing several articles about “facing the past.” During a talk show on Radio Antena M, one of the listeners, while on air, said that he would kill Nikolaidis."'' 〔Extract from the IHF report: "Human Rights in the OSCE Region: Europe, Central Asia and North America" - Report 2005 ()〕 Nikolaidis has published four novels in Montenegro and Croatia: 'Mimesis'' (Durieux, OKF, 2003) and ''Son'' (Durieux, 2006), ''The Coming'' (Algoritam, 2009) and "Till Kingdom Come" (Algoritam, 2012) as well as a collections of short stories "The Cathedral in Seattle", "Why Mira Furlan?", "A Short History of Madness", and a cultural theory book "Homo Sucker: The Poetics of Apocalypse". In 2012, two of his novels ('The Coming' and 'The Son') were published in English by the UK publisher (Istros Books ). In 2014, a German edition of "The Coming", "Die Ankunft", was published by Voland & Quist. His first critically acclaimed novel "Mimesis" was very well received in Croatia, Bosnia and among liberal Montenegrin intellectuals, where local independent media compares his expression and attitude to the one of Thomas Bernhard. He wrote columns for pro-independence Montenegrin publications such as ''Vijesti'' daily newspaper, ''Monitor'' weekly newsmagazine (from 2002 until 2009), and ''Crnogorski književni list'' weekly newspaper, as well as Bosnian weekly newsmagazine ''Slobodna Bosna''. He now resides in Ulcinj, Montenegro. On October 15, 2009, it was announced that Nikolaidis accepted a job as the adviser to politician Ranko Krivokapić, who has been the speaker of the house in Montenegrin Parliament since 2003 and is the president of SDP CG party - ruling coalition's junior partner. The announcement came couple of weeks after Krivokapić publicly supported Nikolaidis while criticizing the Montenegrin Supreme Court's final ruling in Kusturica vs. Nikolaidis case. Nikolaidis resigned in February 2014.〔(Nezavisni intelektualac, kolumnista Monitora i Vijesti, književnik Andrej Nikolaidis savjetnik Ranka Krivokapića, DNMN, October 15, 2009 )〕〔(Svi savjetnici Ranka Prvog Krivokapića, SEEbiz.eu, October 17, 2009 )〕〔(Savjetnicka stolica );''Oslobodnjenje'', 3 November 2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrej Nikolaidis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
