Bojovic was born in Belgrade and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Belgrade. In 1961, he was hired by Energoprojekt, a Serbian construction and infrastructure company, where he held a prominent role until his retirement in 1998. As lead architect for the company, he worked in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. Known for a modernist approach, his portfolio includes industrial facilities and sports complexes, as well as power plants, large housing complexes and urban public spaces. He produced the plans for the International Fair in Lagos, which was attended by American president Jimmy Carter, and co-designed the State Secretariat in the Nigerian state of Kano with fellow architect Milica Šterić. He is also responsible for the overall urban planning of seven cities in Kanou. Additionally, he worked in Iraq and built Baghdad's Al Qulaf Housing and Business Center. Bojovic had to address every aspect of his projects, including hydro-power, nuclear energy and aerodynamics. Regarding the design of the triad aerodynamic tunnel in Žarkovo, he ended up modifying the machinery to reduce pressure and noise, thus resulting in a better constructed tunnel. Bojovic credits his father, a mechanical engineer, for his interest in the technical sciences. Bojovic belonged to the "Academy of Engineering Sciences of Serbia", the "Academy of Architecture of Serbia", the "Applied Artists and Designers Association of Serbia", and the "Serbian Chamber of Engineers".
