Born in Skopje in , Dejan Dukovski is one of the most important contemporary playwrights of the Republic of Macedonia. Under the guidance of playwright Goran Stefanovski, Dukovski graduated in dramaturgy from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Skopje; a screenwriter, he has also written many film and television screenplays. His most famous play, Powder Keg , is set in Belgrade during the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo.

I have been a freelance artist a sole proprietor for a long time, a status that is almost a science fiction these days in terms of survival. I want to say I find it difficult and complicated that I have no money, although it sounds pathetic that I use this opportunity to stress.
