Panta Petrovic, aged 65, for ten years living in his tree-house in the suburbs of the south-eastern Serbian town of Pirot. Until the 1990s, Perovic worked in France as a mechanical technician with overseas cargo ships but decided to return to Serbia after spending 18 years abroad. Life in Serbia was hard during the 1990s, a time during which the Yugoslav wars started. Some ten years ago Perovic, who had trouble finding his way, decided to leave his family home in Pirot and moved to the suburbs, where he built his tree house at a height of about eight meters. Perovic built a his house for a year completely alone. He was building a house of materials that could find in the area around.
