He finished school in law and completed a doctorate in Paris. He was a university professor and also held several ministerial positions in the government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as a member of the People's Radical Party. He was president of the General Assembly of the League of Nations from 1926-1927.
During World War II he was a member of the Yugoslav government in exile. He held the position of minister of external affairs. At the post-war Belgrade Process he was found guilty of installing Draža Mihailović as leader of the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland Chetnik force and supporting him and the army. Mihailović in turn warred with the Yugoslav Partisans.
