Stefan, a graduate of the Novi Sad Gymnasium "Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj", is the proud owner of a gold medal and the Medal of First Order of the Kingdom of Belgium, the award of the Romanian Ministry for Development and Innovation, as well as gold medallions of the Moscow Institute for Innovation, and all this for "only" one invention - patent "thrombus guard."
Nikola Tesla predicted smartphones in 1926!
Without any previous knowledge when it comes to medicine, but driven by a desire to help his father, who struggled with thrombus, Stefan came up with the idea to make a stent - a device that is inserted into the appropriate blood vessel in order to protect the vital organs (brain, heart, lungs) from the harmful consequences of thromboembolism, which functions like a blood clot that encounters it - stops it and chemically breaks down.
"Thrombus guard", as he called his patent, was his ticket to the science camp in Helsinki.
Stefan is not much different from his peers. This young man, as described by his brother, "a nerd who likes to hang out", plays piano and guitar, practices sports, plays bridge with his team and is a positive example of how with an idea, work and effort, you can come to great results.
22-year-old student from Zablja, Nikola Cvejin, made his first invention when he was only twelve years old, and since he was first awarded the Gold Seal of the Russian Federation, the young man only wins prizes.
Wishing to avoid infringing blunt knives for carving in art class, he decided to make an electrical device which will make it easier and safer to perform this task. As it turned out, this mini-machine was the first of its kind in the world and received an award from the Russian Federation, as well as the prize Tesla Fest, which has further inspired him to continue his scientific work.

To date, Nikola has as many as five inventions for which he has received numerous awards and recognitions. He is also the founder and president of the Association of Technical Culture of Zablja, which brings together young researchers.
- When I was a kid there was no similar place in which young people could gather who want to get involved in science. I was 18 when I started the association in order for others to come, to share their thoughts and come to common solutions to problems. I always do my best to help them, and they, unknowingly, help me to solve some of my problems. Together, learning from each other, we further our progress - says Nikola.

This modest young man stopped counting awards. For him, a medal is a piece of metal that collects dust. Knowing what true values are, Nikola selflessly shares his knowledge and experience. Through fun and play he encourages other young people to realize their potential and knowledge and turn them into great works which can change the world around them.
Inspired by the optimism of these two young men, Telenor tells the story of their lives, achievements and plans in the documentary "The inventors of Serbia", which was released on YouTube.
