Finally I found the page Transliteration where I obtained the following 10-Best Transliterations in Chinese with decreasing likelihood:

To check the solutions I used the Online Chinese Character to Pinyin Converter with Pronunciation - we enter the Chinese text into the text field and then click the Convert button. We obtain the text transcribed into pinyin. Clicking to Sentence Pronunciation (Beta) we can listen to its pronunciation.

Using this approach it seems that phonetically the closest solutions are

Andrej Mrvar: 安德雷 马尔瓦尔 (an1 de2 lei2 – Ma3 er3 wa3 er3)

Vladimir Batagelj: 伍拉迪米尔 巴塔格利 or 巴塔格尔 (wu3 la1 di2 mi3 er3 – ba1 ta3 ge2 li4 – ba1 ta3 ge2 er3)

Zadeva: Ime na kineskom i pozdrav iz Beograda

Draga Anuska,

Veoma mi je drago sto smo u povratku imali prilike da jos malo
porazgovaramo. Kao sto sam spomenula moj sin, Vladimir, dobro poznaje
kineski jezik, pa mu je bilo drago da prevede na kineski ime i prezime
tvog supruga:


Vladimir Batagelj
武拉迪米尔·巴塔格理

Za slucaj da ne vidite znake u okviru poruke, u attachmentu je slicica :)

Puno srdacnih pozdrava i sve najbolje, Vesna Jevremovic

Hi:
I have translated your name as following Chinese characters:
安德瑞.马禄发
The “安” means peace,tranquility, safe and in good health.
The “德” means good virtue and admirable quality.
The “瑞” means auspicious and lucky.
The “马” is a general surname in China, it's the Chinese character of “horse”, in China, we believe that the horse is a symbol with speed and prompt properties.
The “禄” means incomings and money from government, institutes or academic schools.
The “发” means people will have good luck and get more and more money, growing and developing more fortune.

In addition, the press company told me that the preface should have signatures and time. So I wonder if you can told me who and when wrote the prefaces of the 1st and 2nd editions.

Best Regards! Feng Lin

Dear Professor:
Here I attached the translation of name in JPG format. The name translation in China is not only by using pronunciations, but also by following translations appeared in history, and in addition, every Chinese character has some particular meaning and some characters are not suitable for name in Chinese culture. Perhaps you can find someone to check my translation.

Best Regards!

Feng Lin

安德瑞.马禄发 弗拉迪米尔·巴塔盖尔吉
