Dr. Vladimir graduated in law in Prague in 1862. He was a schoolmate of Jovan Jovanović Zmaj at the lyceum in Pžun (Bratislava), and later, they studied law together in Prague. Their friendship continued after they completed their education, and prominent Serbs of the time in Austro-Hungary, including Zmaj - Jova Jovanović, Svetozar Miletić, Đura Jakšić, and others, would visit Vladimir Glavaš and Mija Vlaškalin in Vranjevo.
After completing his legal internship, Dr. Vladimir opened a law office in Novi Bečej. However, he practiced as a lawyer for only a short time because this profession did not align with his moral and life principles.
Allegedly, in a case where his client won against a poor farmer from Vranjevo, the collection was carried out by auctioning off the farmer's house, leaving the man and his family, including several children, homeless. Immediately after this incident, Dr. Vladimir closed his law office and devoted himself to farming, which he practiced in Vranjevo until his death.
He was a compassionate man. He would lend food, such as wheat, corn, and other items, to the poor. While most would return what they borrowed, some would "forget." He never confronted them but would instead lead them to an empty storeroom the next time they asked for help and tell them to take what they needed. When the astonished borrower would say, "How can I take anything when the storeroom is empty," Vladimir would respond, "If you had returned what you took last time, there would be something here now."
He donated his house on the main street of Vranjevo, which is protected by the state as a valuable monument, to the Orthodox Church in Vranjevo.
