Gerontološki centar Sarajevo saopštio je danas da Jovanović, koji je bio korisnik ove ustanove, drži i dalje ovaj rekord. Rođen je 16. septembra 1906. godine u selu Donji Brčeli u Crnoj Gori. Na njegov 110. rođendan u 2016. godini postao je prvi superstogodišnjak koji je ikada živio u BiH. Samo 15 dana nakon 110. rođendana Jovanović je preminuo.
Osim toga što je bio najstarija osoba u BiH, poznat je po tome da je objavio više od 200 naučnih članaka. Čak mu je iste godine kada je umro objavljen članak u “Sarajevskim sveskama” 2016. godine. Gerontološka istraživačka grupa je 13. oktobra ove godine zvanično potvrdila njegove godine na osnovu dokumentacije koju je Gerontološki centar Sarajevo ima i većim dijelom je dobio iz arhive. Jovanović, o kojem su pisali domaći, regionalni, pa i svjetski mediji, posthumno proglašen za najstariju živuću osobu u BiH.
U decembru 1943. godine oženio je Zagorku sa kojom nikada nije imao djecu i preselio se u BiH 1944. godine. Postao je profesor ruskog jezika i filozofije. Od 1957. radio je u univerzitetskoj biblioteci, gdje je ostao do penzije. Nažalost, Zagorka je preminula 1973. godine.
On još drži rekord kao najstarija osoba koja je ikada umrla u BiH, a njegov rekord bi sredinom 2024. godine mogla oboriti Ajka Lokmić iz Sarajeva, rođena 4. maja 1914. godine, koja je još živa.

Gerontological Center Sarajevo announced today to the public that Jovanović, who was a beneficiary of this institution, still holds this record. He was born on 16 September 1906 in the village of Donji Brčeli in Montenegro. On his 110th birthday in 2016, he became the first supercentenarian to ever live in BiH. Just 15 days after his 110th birthday, Jovanović died.
In addition to being the oldest person in BiH, he is known for having published more than 200 scientific articles. Even in the same year that he died, an article was published in "Sarajevo Notebooks" in 2016.

Jovanović, who was written about by local, regional and even world media, was posthumously declared the oldest person ever in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In December 1943, he married Zagorka, with whom he never had children, and moved to BiH in 1944. He became a professor of Russian language and philosophy. Until 1957, he worked in the university library, where he remained until his retirement. Unfortunately, Zagorka passed away in 1973.
