Biography
Kosta Trifković was born in Danube Street (Dunavska ulica) in the city of Novi Sad on October 20, 1843, at the time in the Kingdom of Hungary, Austrian Empire (modern-day Serbia). He was the only child of Atanasije and Ane Trifković. He studied in Novi Sad, Vinkovci, Pest, and in Rijeka took courses in seafaring. He went to sea just before finishing high school, but his delicate health proved unequal to the task, and after two years sailing the seven seas he went to Bratislava (Pozun) to study law.
