Born in Ub to a family with military background,[1] Popović graduated from the gymnasium in his hometown[2] and soon after started to write poetry. In the late 40s he was arrested by the communist authorities and spent five years at Goli Otok.[3] After release he worked a number of poorly paid jobs, only to accept the invitation of Duško Radović to start writing radio dramas for children.[4] His opus includes a number of dramas, comedies, dramas for children, TV dramas, TV and movie scripts.[5]
