In Belgrade he completed the Military Academy before obtaining a degree in engineering at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris. He became a full professor of Geodesy at the Military Academy and performed numerous functions in the political and economic life of Serbia, such as Consul General in Skopje and Thessaloniki, Mayor of the City of Belgrade, head of the Belgrade district, director of the Tobacco factory, commissioner of the National Bank, etc. In 1902 and 1903 he also served as Minister of Internal Affairs and of Civil Engineering and as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. In the 1890s there was a saying which roughly translates as: "The Karađorđević have pretensions to Serbia, the Obrenović reign over serbia, and the Baba-Dudić govern Serbia".Not specifiedCarte de visite12362SerbiaBelgrade
