Vladimir originally comes from Tetovo, where he finished primary school but moved to Skopje for High school after he was awarded a scholarship at the Yahya Kemal College. He graduated from Jacobs University Bremen (now renamed to Constructor University) with a M. Sc. in Molecular Life Sciences. 

Vladimir moved to Zurich for his PhD, which he completed at the ETH at the department for chemical and bioengineering. He also holds an MBA in business innovation from the ESMT in Belrin. While living in Macedonia, Vladimir was active as an Olympiad student in chemistry and physics and was a big proponent of science. He was one of the founders and the president of the NGO Global Researchers Association for Science Popularization well-known for the project "Nauka za site". The rationale behind the project was to make science closer to the general Macedonian public, including laymen.
