He was born on April 7, 1896 in Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina . After the elementary school graduation in his hometown, Mladen went to Sarajevo where he attended two years of the Grammar school and then he went to Tuzla to study together with his brother Sreten Stojanović.

He spoke French, German, Russian, English and Italian. As a part of his internship he worked at the Zagreb Foundation hospital and then at a hospital in Sarajevos suburb Koševo. In 1928 he went to Pučišće on island of Brač, as he said in his words, “to heal the people and heal their wounds.” He returned to Prijedor in the beginning of 1929, after his fathers death, to be with his mother. He became a doctor and opened his doctors office in his family house. As an army doctor he was in Dalmatia when the Second World War started. After the return to his hometown he was arrested by the Ustasha Militia. Shortly after that, he escaped to Kozara mountain. Only eight days after that, Dr. Mladen Stojanović led the insurrection in Kozara.

Immediately thereafter he moved with the Kozaras proletarian troops to central Bosnia, being an Operational Headquartersmilitary chief for Bosanska Krajina. He was wounded after a conflict with the Chetniks, and after spending several days in a hospital he was murdered in April 1942.

On April 19, 1942, the Squad was named after Mladen. He was proclaimed the national hero on August 7, 1942. His remains were transferred to the partisanscemetery at the Prijedor's suburb Urije in 1961.
