Strong suggestion: Use forward slashes for everything other than what
you show to a human - and maybe even then (some programs have always
printed stuff out that way - zip/unzip, for instance). The backslash
has special meaning in many contexts, and you'll just save yourself so
much trouble...

ROOTDIR = 'C:/Users/zoran'

Problem solved!
