A to ide iz srca" ♥️
Nikola Baroš
And that comes from a heart!
The idea of establishing the Foundation Nikola Baroš took shape when our son Nikola left us forever at the age of 13.
His kindness, selflessness, courage, and love for everyone left a lasting mark on our lives, and we decided to turn his name into a beacon of hope for others.
Mission and Goals
Let's Support Dreams

The Foundation advocates for the recognition, development, and encouragement of talent, creating an environment where every child can grow, learn, and thrive.
The goal is to provide support to children and youth through various initiatives, projects, and programs.

The outdoor classroom at "Dositej Obradović" Elementary School will be the first of its kind in our city and region – a place where education meets nature, and children have the opportunity to grow, learn, and create in a completely new way.

Fondacija Nikola Baroš
Neka ljubav i dobrota budu naše naslijeđe
Ideja o osnivanju „Fondacije Nikola Baroš“ rodila se kada nas je u 13. godini života zauvijek napustio naš sin Nikola.
Zavjetovali smo se da ćemo na taj način slaviti njegov život.
Osnivači Fondacije smo mi, roditelji, i Nikolina sestra Milica.
Ljubav, humanost i empatija prema svima samo su neka od osjećanja koja smo međusobno dijelili.
Želja nam je vraćati osmijehe na dječija lica, unositi radost u njihove živote i podsjetiti na činjenicu da se svi rađamo jednaki i da nas život ne smije promijeniti.
Testimonials
Olga Odanović
Actress, Belgrade„It is my pleasure and honor to support the 'Nikola Baroš' Foundation, which I am certain will work in the best possible way to achieve its goals!“
Tatjana Damjanović Bilc
Houston„Love leaves a memory no one can steal".
Danica Nikolić Nikolić
Playwright and Screenwriter, Belgrade„I have known Jelena Mirković Baroš for almost my entire life, from her earliest days, since she was just a little girl. I know the faith, hope, and kindness with which she grew, and how much love, support, and joy she selflessly spread around her. This mission is her life. It is that warm and sacred place she carries in her heart, the place that eternally belongs to Nikola. Knowing this, if I could choose people to entrust my child to, it would be these people. Their mission is pure, noble, and sacred, just as Nikola himself was.“
Stefan Bilc
Bachelor of Science in Health, Houston„I strongly believe that the 'Nikola Baroš' Foundation will become a key beacon of hope, illuminating the path toward a better future. Its work will bring significant change to the lives of hundreds of children and their families, empowering them through education and contributing to the lasting prosperity and harmony of the entire community. Your commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for children perfectly aligns with the mission of the 'Nikola Baroš' Foundation. Together, we can achieve extraordinary results that will echo profoundly and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.“
Jelena Brkić Stojaković
Master of Pharmacy, Banja Luka„It was meant for us to meet and become friends. Over time, our friendship grew into something deeper, and Nikola gave that 'something more than friendship' a special name—relatives. For this reason, I have joined the 'Nikola Baroš' Foundation not merely as a friend, but as a relative of the foundation. I believe the energy you possess will, through the foundation, bring at least one more smile and at least one less tear.“
Marina Ješić
Milan„Jelena would lovingly tell Nikola that she had not carried him in her womb—she, just like Zoran, had quietly carried him in her heart, long before he came into this world. And they will carry him there still, for as long as their hearts beat. This foundation stands on a foundation of love, as pure as a parent's heart. All of us who loved him now have the chance to immortalize the profound mark he left on the world around him, to spread love, and to try to fulfill at least a part of the great things he did not have the time to achieve.
With love,
Your friend.“

I look forward to seeing you soon and participating in practical efforts. Once again, thank you for this deeply humanitarian gesture.
