N ekada su bajke bile najdrae tivo deci pred spavanje, a njihov neizbeni deo, naravno, prinevi. Svet je danas promenjen i drugaiji
nego nekada, ali bajke i prinevi i dalje postoje, sigurni smo u to. I zato emo Vam, kao potvrdu svega, rado ispriati priu o jednom
princu ije se kraljevstvo prostire meu oblacima, ali istovremeno stoji vrsto na zemlji.

Re je o avio-kompaniji Prince aviation, ije uspeno poslovanje od preko 20 godina mnogima danas izgleda kao ostvarenje jedne
savremene bajke. Jer zaista bajkovito deluje kad pomislite da treba da letite negde, a za Va let ne postoji ekanje na aerodromu.
A vreme je novac, danas vie nego ikada ranije. Zato je u momentu kad Vam zatreba, Va avion tu za Vas, u vreme koje ste Vi
naznaili i prevee Vas do destinacije do koje elite. I sve to u kabinama privatnih vazduhoplova koje su opremljene tako da putnici
u svakom trenutku mogu da se osete spokojno i relaksirano, jer lete u potpunom komforu dodatno obogaenom raznovrsnom
zabavom - od ponude filmova za gledanje u avionu, preko razliite vrste muzike ili ak i satelitskog telefona koji je dostupan onima
koji ele da rade i ostanu u kontaktu sa kolegama, prijateljima ili familijom i tokom trajanja leta. U ponudi je i kvalitetan ketering, kao
i izabrani asortiman francuskih vina. Ukoliko to zahtevaju, putnicima se moe omoguiti i vodi kroz rutu leta.Jer letenje je odavno
prestalo da bude luksuz u poslovnom svetu, a postalo je apsolutna potreba dananjeg oveka.

Kao danas najvea avio-taksi kompanija u jugoistonoj Evropi, izgradili smo i zavidnu reputaciju u pogledu bezbednosti i najvieg
kvaliteta usluga koje se nude. Cilj je da se klijentima prui potpuni ugoaj i nezaboravno iskustvo letenja.

Ali pored komfora koji je prvi kriterijum koji Prince aviation sebi postavlja, bezbednost ipak, dolazi pre svega. Kada se naete
u avionu, znate da ste u sigurnim rukama. Vazduhoplovom upravljaju iskusni i dobro obueni piloti. Domaice vazduhoplova,
popularno znane kao stjuardese su, takoe, standardne lanice posade na svakom letu i njihova najvea odgovornost podrazumeva
brigu o putnicima.

Kada zamislite sve ovo i vratite se u prolost kada je sve i poelo, jo 1992. godine, sa Pajperom iroki 6, koji je mogao da povede
estoro putnika sve do Bea, a samo nekoliko meseci posle toga poeli su i prvi letovi visoke klase, sa Cesnom Citation 421, Golden
Eagle, koja je bila namenjena za taksi prevoz vazdunim putem za Mediteran i Zapadnu Evropu, onda je neverovatno da je ve
sredinom 90-ih prva mlazna Citation II Cesna 550 stigla u Beograd. I tu kompanija nije stala. Ubrzo stiu i prinove floti, pridruuju
im se i dva vazduhoplova Citation Bravo, kao i jedan Citation I. Danas posedujemo 5 XLS vazduhoplova i 1 Mustang, a sa jasnom
vizijom razvoja, raznovrsnost i kvalitet usluga koji se nudi moe samo da se podigne na vii nivo.

Sa ekspanzivnim poslovanjem, u cilju da obezbedi kvalitetne lanove posade, naa kompanija je izgradila i svoj kolski centar. Piloti
se obuavaju po programima u saglasnosti sa najstroim svetskim, vaeim propisima, a pored njih, ovde se obuava i vazduno-
tehniko osoblje, avio-mehaniari koji omoguavaju da avioni uvek budu u ispravnom tehnikom stanju i spremni za bezbedan let.

I upravo tu, gde se preplie stvarno i nestvarno, prolo i budue, ova bajka nam alje jasnu poruku da se prinevi nalaze meu
nama, obinim svetom. Oni, zapravo, oduvek postoje i postojae. Potrebno je samo da verujete u njih, jer onima koji veruju, njima
se i ostvare snovi.
O nce fairy tales were the favorite reading material for children at bedtime and princes were a compulsory part of them. Todays world
is different from what it used to be, but fairy tales and princes still exist. We are sure about that. As a proof, we will tell you the story
of a prince, whose kingdom stretches high among the clouds, but at the same it stands firmly on the ground.

It is the airline Prince Aviation, whose successful operations for over 20 years are perceived by many people as the realization of
a modern fairy tale.Actually, it is a kind of miracle that you can travel somewhere without waiting at all at the airport. Time is money
and today that is more real than ever before. That means that your plane will be ready at the specified time and it will transport you
to the destination you want. All this in the cabins of private aircrafts, which are equipped in such a way that passengers will always
feel peaceful and relaxed, because they fly in complete comfort, enriched by varied entertainment contents - from movies and
different types of music, up to satellite phone calls that are available for those, who want to work and stay in touch with colleagues,
friends or family during the summer.The offer includes high quality catering, as well as a selected variety of French wines.
If passengers require it, they can have a guide during the flight. The fact is that, in the world of business, flying stopped being
a luxury a long time ago and it has become an absolute need for contemporary people.

As todays largest air-taxi company in southeast Europe, we have built an enviable reputation regarding safety and top-quality
services. Our goal is to offer to our clients a perfect atmosphere and the unforgettable experience of flying.

But although comfort is the first criterion that Prince Aviation requires from itself, safety comes first of all. When you are on the plane,
you know that you are in safe hands. Plains are under the command of experienced and well-trained pilots. Aircraft hostesses,
popularly known as stewardesses are also standard crew members on each flight and their main responsibility is to take care of the
passengers.

When you think of all this and go back in time when everything started in 1992, you can see the evolution of the company, first the
Piper Cherokee 6, which could carry six passengers to Vienna, a few months later the first high-class flights began with a Cessna
Citation 421, Golden Eagle, which was intended for taxi air transport through the Mediterranean and Western Europe, and finally
the first jet Cessna 550 Citation II arrived in Belgrade in the mid-90s. But the company did not stop there. New additions to our fleet
keep arriving, including two Citation Bravo aircrafts, as well as a Citation I. Nowadays we have 5 XLS aircrafts and 1 Mustang.
Our clear development vision, combined with diversity and high-quality services, can only lead us to new heights.

Our company created its own training center, in order to provide top-quality crew members for its ever expanding operations.Pilots
are trained in accordance with thestrictest international, applicable regulations. Besides pilots, also air-technical personnel and
aircraft mechanics are trained there, so that planes might always be in good mechanical conditions and ready for a safe flight.

This fairy tale, which intertwines real and unreal, past and future, sends us a clear message: princes are among us, the ordinary
people. They have always existed and will always exist. You just have to believe in them,because if you believe, you will fulfill your
dreams.

Dakle idemo napred, ne vraamo se vie u prolost, sto i jeste

SOLUTIONS ARE IN THE FUTURE
y dear Globers, you who read and expect
the new edition of the magazine The Globe,
For this double edition, my associates
and myself have prepared many interesting
interviews and reports about the economy,
commerce, tourism and culture. We visited
the whole region and through interviews,
we would like to present some nice destinations, as the summer is
still here.
The last 6 months were marked by floods throughout the region
caused by excessive rains, and changes in the political scene,
related to the repeated elections. I hope that this Government will
last and survive through the next four years to fulfill the promises
made to the citizens. But first of all, I wish that the flooded areas
and the affected families would get their homes back.
So, lets move forward, lets not look in the past, which is the
greatest enemy of Serbia. Lets leave the ex-leaders, ex-
systems; lets turn to the future and the things that are still to
come. Surely, what is very important not only for Belgrade, but
for the whole region as well, is one of the largest projects in the
Balkans, our Belgrade On Water project. Not only isthisthe
largest project, but Belgrade On Water is our future. If you
are still in Belgrade, take a walk to Karaoreva Street, to the
building of Republic Geodetic Authority, and look into the future.
My son has already made a wish for one of the apartments next to
the Belgrade Tower. If you are still thinking about where to spend
your vacation, my warmest recommendation is Dubrovnik - the
city of history, culture, love, and the beautiful sea, where friendly
people will serve you the most beautiful coffee and pancakes in
Stradun, right next to the church of St. Vlah. While enjoying your
coffee, read through The Globe magazine and there you will find
nice stories about Dubrovnik. 7

A TRADITION THAT OBLIGES
HIGH GOALS REQUIRE MORE WORK AND GREATER RESPONSIBILITY
uring its 63 year long tradition, this local company evolved into a business system for design,

D consulting, engineering, construction and project management, which operates all around
the world - from Europe, Russia and Kazakhstan up to the Middle East, Africa and Peru. For
decades, it stands out as one of the most famous Serbian brands and it successfully maintains
a high level of business activities and a good position among domestic and international clients, despite
the global financial crisis. The total value of the works that Energoprojekt must accomplish in the coming
years exceeds 650 million, and by the end of 2014 we expect that new contracts will be signed at home
and abroad. There is a lot of work for the 2,300 employees of the company, who are rated among the best
international contractors, designers and consultants by the prestigious American magazine Engineering
News Record.

graevinskom kompanijom. Jedina je kompanija iz regiona
koja se nalazi na listi najboljih internacionalnih izvoaa,

Energoprojekt je osnovan davne 1951. godine sa ciljem da prui punu
projektantsku i konsultantsku podrku izgradnji energetske infrastruk-
ture u tada ratom razruenoj zemlji. Tokom vie od est decenija
uspenog rada, Energoprojekt se od inicijalnog biroa za projektovanje
energetskih sistema razvio u kompleksni poslovni sistem sa irokim
spektrom delatnosti. Na raun iskustva i inenjerskih znanja na pro-
jektima u zemlji od 60-tih godina i nadalje, Energoprojekt je krenuo
u svet i uspeno realizovao na hiljade projekata u vie od 70 zemalja.
Danas poslujemo u 17 zemalja sa eljom da se vratimo na trita na

Energoprojekt is considered the largest Serbian engineering
and construction company. It is the only company in the
region that is on the list of the best international contractors,
designers and consultants, compiled by the prestigious
American magazine Engineering News Record. How is
it possible that an engineering and construction company
from a small country like ours managed to achieve a
success of global proportions?
Energoprojekt was established back in 1951 with the aim to provide
full engineering and consulting support for the construction of energy
infrastructure in the then war-torn country. During more than six
decades of successful operations, Energoprojekt developed from the
initial bureau for the design of energy systems into a complex business
holding with a wide range of activities. Thanks to the experience and
engineering knowledge accumulated from the projects carried out in
our country from the 60s onwards, Energoprojekt has expanded at
international level and succeeded to carry out thousands of projects
in more than 70 countries. Nowadays we operate in 17 countries with
the wish to return to the markets where we were previously present,
such as the Iraqi market, and to conquer new markets as well, such as
Indonesia.

80s we were at the top, among the five best designers and consultants
and among the ten best international contractors. It is interesting that up
today, besides Energoprojekt, no company from the former Yugoslavia
or the neighboring Balkan countries has succeeded to enter into the list.
According to a report from the prominent American magazine, based
on the results of 2013 Energoprojekt is in the 229-th place among the
250 top international contractors and in the 144-th place among the 225
top international architects and consultants. Our business priority is the
permanent and sustainable development and growth of our company, in
order to create profit for our shareholders and to increase the value of
our shares on the stock market, which is possible only by implementing
projects and services in a professional way, with high-quality and within
the agreed time frame. Keeping that purpose in mind, the satisfaction of
our clients and employees is very important, because our employees are
the most important value of our company.
More recently your company has contracted some
important projects in the country and abroad. The market
of Energoprojekt is really great, stretching from Peru to
Kazakhstan, from Europe to Africa and the Middle East.

U svetu smo poznati i priznati kao vrsna inenjerska kompanija i po
kvalitetu izvedenih radova i po primeni savremenih tehnolokih reenja.
U istoriji Energoprojekta nema nezavrenog projekta, niti projekta
na kojem je Investitor protestvovao bankarske garancije. Na najbolji
mogui nain realizujemo interese naih klijenata, radnika i svih akcio-
nara, predstavljamo svoju zemlju u svetu i ostvarujemo zavidne rezul-
tate. Dugorone politike na tritima na kojima radimo i kvalitet naih
usluga omoguavaju nam da na svim tritima postupno poveavamo
nae angaovanje, ali i da otvaramo nova. S obzirom na to da su nai
investitori na meunarodnom tritu uglavnom dravne institucije, ali
i ugledni privatni investitori, kroz profesionalan odnos prema reali-
zaciji projekata i uvaavanje naih klijenata i njihovih interesa, pored
ostvarenja poslovnih planova, doprinosimo i poboljanju bilateralnih
odnosa nae zemlje sa zemljama u kojima radimo. Energoprojekt je
u svojoj brani brend nadaleko poznat izvan granica Srbije, a na
mnogim meridijanima je sinonim za kvalitet u inenjeringu i izgradnji
razliitih energetskih, infrastrukturnih, ekolokih, hidrotehnikih i ob-
jekata visokogradnje. Dok mnoge kompanije ulau trud i znaajna fi-
nansijska sredstva da brendiraju svoje ime i proizvode izvan granica
svoje zemlje, nas u Energoprojektu, obavezuje na stalno usavravanje
i prilagoavanje svim poslovnim izazovima na razliitim tritima.
Iza nas je 2013. godina koja je bila teka za mnoge. Ipak, vi
ste u prvom kvartalu ove godine, za koju se predvialo da
e biti jo tea od prethodne, uspeli da obezbedite da uku-
pna vrednost ugovora koje realizujete bude vea od 650
miliona evra?
Energoprojekt od 1990-te posluje u uslovima raznih kriza i nalazi od-
govore na sva iskuenja koja donose krize. Nauili smo da planiramo
i unapred predviamo mogue poremeaje i da razvijamo alternativne
planove. Kada raspolaete kvalitetnim referencama, znanjem, iskus-
tvom, ljudskim resursima i sistemom rada koji je profesionalan i od-
govoran u odnosu na posao koji radite, u mogunosti ste da naete
odgovore na razne poremeaje.
Velika je odgovornost zadovoljiti interese akcionara, obezbediti do-
voljno posla za 2,300 zaposlenih, od kojih je 800 visoko strunih ka-
drova i za vie hiljada radnika na tritima na kojima Energoprojekt
radi, i imati zadovoljnog klijenta koji e vam poveriti i naredne pos-
love. Iako sam ja po funkciji najodgovorniji, rezultati se postiu u
timskom radu menadmenta na svim nivoima kao i svih zaposlenih
u sistemu Energoprojekt. Radimo kao tim i nastojimo da obezbedimo
odriv rast prihoda i dobiti.
How did you manage to maintain such a good position in
different continents? How do you manage to deal with the
competition?
We are known and recognized world-wide as an excellent engineering
company due to the quality of or work and the use of modern
technological solutions. In the history of Energoprojekt there have
been no unfinished projects or projects for which the Contracting
Authority had to execute the bank guarantee. We protect the interests
of our clients, employees and all shareholders as much as possible,
in order to represent our country in the best possible way and to
achieve great results. Our long-term policies and the quality of our
services allow us to increase our present engagement and to create
new engagements in the markets, where we operate. Given that our
investors in the international market are mainly state institutions, as
well as some prominent private investors, we achieve our business
plans and contribute to the improvement of bilateral relations between
our country and the countries where we operate, by applying a
professional approach to our clients and their interests.
Energoprojekt is a real brand in its industry. It is widely known
beyond the borders of Serbia, and on many meridians of the world it
is a synonym of quality, good engineering and efficient construction
of infrastructure, energy, environmental and hydraulic facilities, as
well as of high-rise buildings. While many companies are investing
significant efforts and financial resources to brand their names
and products beyond the borders of their countries, Energoprojekt
has committed to the continuous improvement and adjustment of all
business challenges in different markets.
Behind us is the year 2013, which was a difficult year
for many companies. However, you succeeded to sign
contracts for a total value 650 million EUR, during the first
quarter of this year, which was supposed to be still harder
than the previous one. Is that true?
Since 1990, Energoprojekt has operated under various crises, but it
always found the answers to all the temptations that crises bring. We
learned to plan ahead and anticipate possible disruptions, in order
to develop contingency plans. When you have quality references,
knowledge, experience, human resources and a work system that is
professional and responsible towards your business, you are always
able to find answers to a variety of disruptions.
It is a great responsibility to meet the interests of our shareholders, to
provide enough work for 2,300 employees, out of which 800 are highly

I pored svih preduzetih aktivnosti, na poslovni rezultat za 2013. go-
dinu nije u potpunosti usklaen sa planom, ali s obzirom na sve okol-
nosti na koje se nije moglo uticati, verujemo da e postignuti rezul-
tat zadovoljiti oekivanja svih naih akcionara. Najvei poremeaj u
realizaciji poslovnog plana za prolu godinu je viemeseni zastoj u
realizaciji projekta izgradnje nove topionice i fabrike sumporne kise-
line u Boru, kao i odlaganje poetka izgradnje hotela Hyatt Regency
u Rostovu na Donu u Rusiji. U oba sluaja, nai investitori su bili prokop / prokop
suoeni sa problemom obezbeenja finansiranja ugovorenih projeka-
ta, re je o dva projekta ukupne vrednosti od oko 200 miliona dolara.
Iako je postignuti rezultat u naoj oblasti meu najboljima u Srbiji, mi
smo uvek okrenuti ka onima koji u inostranstvu postiu i bolje rezul-
tate od nas i teimo da ih dostignemo.
Od udara ove i prethodnih kriza najtee i najsporije se odvija opora-
vak aktivnosti u delatnosti visokogradnje, ali oekujem da poveanim
angaovanjem u inostranstvu i ovaj deo Energoprojekta prevazie
akumulirane probleme iz prolosti. Od posebne je vanosti oporavak
graevinskih aktivnosti u zemlji i sa nestpljenjem oekujemo poetak
realizacije projekta Beograd na vodi ali i razne druge investicije u
Beogradu i na teritoriji Srbije koji se najavljuju.

Energoprojekt postoji od 1951. godine i na tu tradiciju ste

prokop / prokop
sigurno ponosni. U njegovoj istoriji najuspeniji period su
bile 1980-te godine, a zatim je dola jugoslovenska kriza
1990-ih, koja je odnela mnoge graevinske gigante. Na
kraju nas je iza oka saekala i svetska ekonomska kriza
2008. godine. Kako ste uspeli sve to da prevaziete?

Zahvaljujui kadrovima Energoprojekta, pravovremenom prilago-

avanju razliitim okolnostima i permanentnim usavravanjem znan-
ja i praenja novih tehnologija u primeni, Energoprojekt je zadrao
sve poslovne aktivnosti u funkcionalnom kapacitetu i danas se razvija
u pozitivnom pravcu i odrava pozicije u svetskim razmerama. U
naem poslu mogu nastati razni poremeaji, a neretko smo i izloeni
tendencioznim pokuajima da i Energoprojekt doivi tranzicionu sud-
binu drugih graevinskih giganata i bude rasparan i obrisan sa spiska
privrednih drutava Srbije. Treba podsetiti da su u periodu od 60-
tih do 90-tih, srpsko graevinarstvo i inenjerska znanja bili veoma
uvaavani i u zemlji i u svetu i da gotovo da nema graevinske firme
sa naih prostora koja u tom periodu nije bila poznata u svetskim ra-
zmerama. Tuno je da je od svih velikih imena skoro jedino Energo- PODZEMNA STANICA VUKOV SPOMENIK /
underground station Vukov Spomenik
projekt preiveo sve poslovne izazove koji su pratili sankcije, ratove,
raspad zemlje, bombardovanje i demokratske promene. Raspadom ve-
likih graevinskih giganata nastao je sistem malih firmi meu kojima
ima i vrlo kvalitetnih, ali bez velikih kompanija nije realno oekivati
da u ovoj oblasti postignemo rezultate u svetu.
U protekle dve godine je primetna orijentacija administracije Repu-
blike Srbije da se domai resursi u to veoj meri angauju u Srbiji.
S tim u vezi, Energoprojekt u zemlji dobija prepoznatljivu poziciju
i ima potencijal da integrie i druga privredna drutava na realizaciji
velikih poslovnih poduhvata u zemlji. Na taj nain moemo da do-
prinosimo da ozdravljenje graevinskog sektora ide brim tempom,
a istovremeno, poveavanjem kapaciteta zapoljavanja i angaovanja
kod kue, stiemo i kapacitet da ugovaramo i realizujemo znatno vie
poslova u inostranstvu.

skilled staff, as well as for thousands of workers in the markets where

kargo centar / kargo center Energoprojekt operates, and to satisfy our clients, so that they will
ensure us further tasks. Although I hold the most responsible position,
results are achieved thanks to the team work of the management at all
levels, as well as of all the employees of the Energoprojekt system. We
work as a team and strive to provide sustainable growth in revenue and
profit. Despite all of the undertaken measures, our business results for
2013 did not fully comply with the plan, but taking into consideration
all the circumstances that we could not influence, we believe that the
results will satisfy the expectations of our shareholders. The largest
disruption in the implementation of the business plan of last year
was the months-long delay in the project of building a new smelter
and sulfuric acid factory in Bor, as well as the delay in the start of the
construction of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. In
both cases, our investors faced the problem of securing financing for
the contracted projects, with a total value of approximately 200 million
USD. Although the results achieved in our field are among the best
in Serbia, we always turn to those who achieve better results abroad
and strive to have equal success. After the impact of this crisis and
kargo centar / kargo center the previous one, high-rise building activities display the hardest and
slower recovery, but I expect that, by increasing our engagement abroad,
Energoprojekt will overcome the problems accumulated in the past. It is
particularly important to ensure the recovery of the construction activity
in our country and we impatiently expect the realization of the project
Belgrade on Water, as well as of other investments in Belgrade and in
the territory of Serbia that have already been announced.

Energoprojekt exists since 1951 and you are very proud

of its tradition. The 80s were the most successful period
of its history. Then came the crisis of the 90s, which
destroyed many construction giants. Finally, the global
financial crisis was awaiting you behind the corner. How
did you manage to overcome all this?

Thanks to the staff of Energoprojekt, the timely adaptation to

different conditions, the continuous improvement of knowledge and
the monitoring of new technologies, Energoprojekt kept all business
PODZEMNA STANICA VUKOV SPOMENIK / activities in functional capacity and still develops in a positive
underground station Vukov Spomenik direction, holding positions worldwide.
Different disruptions may appear in our business and we are exposed
to tendentious attempts to push Energoprojekt in the transition destiny
of other construction giants, i.e. to chop it in pieces and delete it from
the list of companies in Serbia. We should remember that during
the period from the 60s up to the 90s, Serbian construction and
engineering skills were highly respected in the country and abroad
and that by that time there were almost no construction companies in
our region that were known worldwide. It is sad that out of all the great
names, Energoprojekt is one of the few that survived all the business
challenges that followed the sanctions, the war, the disintegration of the
country, the bombings and the democratic changes. The disintegration
of large construction giants lead to a system of small companies, some
of them with a very good quality. However, without large companies
it is not realistic to achieve results in this field at world level.
In the past two years, the administration of the Republic of Serbia
tends to engage local resources in Serbia as much as possible. In this
context, Energoprojekt obtains a distinctive position in the country
and has the potential to integrate other commercial companies in the
implementation of large-scale businesses in the country. In this way

Percepcija Energoprojekta prvenstvo kao izvoake firme, nije do-
bra polazna osnova za definisanje poloaja sistema Energoprojekt
u zemlji, jer se time iskljuuju drugi znaajni kapaciteti kao to su
inenjering, projektovanje, konsalting i upravljanje projektima.
Ukoliko bi Energoprojekt bio integriui subjekt u izvoenju kapital-
nih infrastrukturnih i graevinskih projekata u Srbiji, koristi bi bile
viestruke: kvalitetnije izvedeni objekti, jeftinija izgradnja, jaanje

omoguile plasman usluga domaih firmi u svetu. Sistem Energo-

tranoj konkurenciji, ali i sticanje izvoznog kapaciteta koji je nekada
predstavljao znaajan deo budetskih prihoda nae zemlje.
Kada bi se ovo i deslio, a naravno da ne zavisi sve od Energopro-

we can contribute to speed up the recovery of the construction sector
and, at the same time, by increasing the possibilities of employment and
engagement at home, we obtain the capacity to contract and implement
many more projects overseas.
When we look back at the history of Energoprojekt, it is clear that the
company has invested in both, its people and innovation, perhaps because
it is not unusual that within your system there are also companies that
deal exclusively with information technology and insurances. Within the
Energoprojekt system there are nine successful companies that employ

investments related to the modernization and construction of new
infrastructure, as well as of public and commercial buildings in the country,
not only because we are well-organized and experienced, but because
we can guarantee high quality and timely implementation, contributing
thus to better budget revenues for Serbia and to the development of
the construction sector, as well as of companies, which will be able to
export their services to the world. The complexity of the areas, in which
Energoprojekt operates, our competitiveness and advantages in both, the
domestic and the international markets, our technological know-how and
human resources and our engineering skills can significantly contribute
to the recovery of the Serbian economy.
The perception Energoprojekt mainly as a contractor company, is not
a good starting point for defining the position of Energoprojekt in
the country, because it excludes other important capacities, such as
engineering, design, consulting and project management.
If Energoprojekt were an integrating subject in the performance of major
infrastructure and construction projects in Serbia, the benefits would be
multiple: high-quality buildings, cheaper construction, stronger Serbian
construction companies and the acquisition of important references
that would allow the placement of services of local companies in the
Radite mnogo, gradite mnogo, stvarate mnogo. Koje biste
projekte na kojima ste angaovani u zemlji u svetu izdvojili
kao posebne?
Ne znam da li je re posebni adekvatna, jer svi ugovoreni projekti
imaju iste ciljeve da budu realizovani na zadovoljstvo Investitora u
ugovorenom kvalitetu i roku i da pri tome ostvarimo planiranu dobit.
Ipak, sa posebnim linim afinitetom gledam na projekat Prokop jer
sam kao mlad inenjer uestvovao u izgradnji podzemne eleznike
stanice Vukov Spomenik, tokom sankcija, i bio akter prvih faza rea-
lizacije projekta Prokop, a godinama unazad sluam, kao i ostali
graani, da tu rupu treba zatrpati ili mnoga neispunjena obeanja
da e se nastaviti radovi. Zbog toga sam sa zadovoljstvom primio
odluku tenderske komisije eleznica Srbije da je ponuda Energopro-
jekta ocenjena kao najpovoljnija i da je prihvaena. Energoprojekt je
radove na ovom projektu zapoeo davne 1996. godine, pa ovaj naj-
noviji ugovor, Faza 1 - Rekonstrukcija kapaciteta za prijem, otpremu
i upravljanje saobraajem vozova smatram poetkom zavretka svih
preostalih radova na izgradnji nove glavne eleznike stanice u Beo-
gradu i stvaranjem preduslova za pripremu savskog platoa za potrebe
izgradnje, najavljenog velikog projekta, Beograd na vodi. Ovom
oekivanju, treba dodati i ve potpisane ugovore za izgradnju prve
etape eleznike pruge od Beograda do Paneva, gde smo na tenderu
Ruskih eleznica u Moskvi, kao najpovoljniji, odabrani za izvoaa
radova na donjem stroju pruge, kao i izgradnju deonice autoputa na
koridoru E763 (Koridor 11) od Lajkovca do Ljiga, koju smo posle
viemesenih pregovora sa kineskom firmom Shandong Hi-Speed
Ltd. ugovorili da realizujemo kao njihov lokalni podizvoa.
Kada je re o ostalim projektima, najvie me raduje ugovaranje
graevinskih radova na projektu hidro elektrane Chacay u Peru, jer
u nizu godina i zbog posledica sankcija, nismo uspevali da se vratimo
na teren izgradnje hidroenergetskih projekata, ali i konsultantski ugo-
vor u Kataru za fazu 11 razvoja elektoenergetskog sistema. Svakako
treba izdvojiti i ugovor u Kazahstanu za projektovanje etiri kompre-
sorske stanice na gasovodu kojim se transportuje kazahstanski gas za
Kinu i projektovanje i izgradnju Ghana Airport Cargo center-a u
glavnom gradu Gane. Kada se ovim ugovorima dodaju jo neki novi
projekti u inostranstvu i ugovoreni poslovi u zemlji, ukupna vrednost
radova koje Energoprojekt treba da realizuje u ovoj i narednim go-
dinama je premaila 650 miliona evra. Dakle, to se tie Energopro-
jekta i ugovaranja novih poslova, ova godina je bolja od prethodne i
oekujemo da godinji plan ugovaranja novih poslova ostvarimo pre
isteka polovine godine, to stvara ansu da nam ukupna realizacija i
ostvareni profit takoe budu bolji od planiranih za ovu godinu.
Dobitnici ste raznih nagrada, koju dodeljuju preduzetnici

world. Energoprojekt could be a leader in the connection of compatible
parts of the construction sector in a new cycle of investments, increasing
employment in this branch of the economy and ensuring a stronger
resistance to foreign competition. In this way we may achieve the export
capacity, which represented once a significant portion of the budget
revenues of our country.
If this happened (of course it does not depend completely on
Energoprojekt), it would be necessary that the other employers had a
platform for sustainable activities. That means that they should appreciate
adequately the work of their employees and fulfill their obligations to the
State and their employees in a timely manner.
You work a lot, you build a lot and you create a lot. Among
the projects that you have implemented in our country,
which would you single out as special?
I am not sure that the word special is adequate, because all contracted
projects have the same goal - to be implemented to the Investors
satisfaction, with the agreed quality and within the established time
frame, achieving the planned profit. However, I have a special personal
affinity for the Prokop project, because as a young engineer I was
involved in the construction of the underground railway station Vukov
Spomenik. It was during the sanctions when I was involved in the first
phase of the Prokop project. For years I have been listening, just as
the rest of citizens that that hole should be covered, as well as many
unfulfilled promises to continue to work. That is why; I was pleased
by the decision of the Tender Committee of the Serbian Railways,
according to which the bid of Energoprojekt was declared as the best
and therefore accepted. Energoprojekt began to work on this project
back in 1996 and for that reason I regard this latest contract, Phase 1 -
Reconstruction of the Facilities for Receiving, Shipping and Managing
Railroad Transportation as the beginning of the completion of the
remaining works for the construction of a new main railway station in
Belgrade, creating thus the preconditions for the preparation of the Sava
plateau for the construction of the large project Belgrade on Water. I
should also add the already signed contract for the construction of the
first stage of the railway Belgrade - Panevo. The Russian Railways in
Moscow declared our bid as the best and chose us as the contractor for
the substructure of the railroad. Another important contract refers to the
construction of a section of the highway on Corridor E763 (Corridor
11) from Lajkovac to Ljig. This contract was signed after months of
negotiations with the Chinese company Shandong Hi-Speed Ltd., which
accepted that we will carry out the project as their local subcontractor.
As for the other projects, I am really glad that we were granted the
construction of the Chacay Power Plant in Peru, because due to the
sanctions we did not succeed for many years to participate in hydro-
power projects. I am also glad about the consulting contract for the 11th
stage of development of the power system in Qatar. Of course, I should
single out the contract signed with Kazakhstan for the design of four
compressor stations on the pipeline that transports Kazakh gas to China,

Sva javna priznanja, kao i poslednje koje je dodeljeno naoj firmi
Energoprojekt Entel a.d., Najbolje iz Srbije za poslovnu izvrsnost
su znaajna. Od izbora na funkciju generalnog direktora Energopro-
jekt Holding a.d., oktobra 2010. godine, uprkos nasleenim proble-
mima bez oklevanja sam definisao glavni cilj, da pribliim poslovanje
Energoprojekta pozicijama na kojima se nalazio sredinom i krajem
80-tih. Ovaj visoko postavljeni cilj nije demagoki i siguran sam da
je ostvarljiv uz nau dobru organizaciju i oekivanu podrku drave,
koju svuda u svetu imaju ovakve kmpanije. Za ostvarenje ovog cilja
potrebno je da domae investicije realizuju domae firme, da eko-
nomska politika zemlje i bilateralni odnosi sa drugim zemljama budu
u funkciji privrede, da se adekvatno valorizuje i ceni profesionalan
rad, da se vodi politika koja e domaim firmama omoguiti sticanje
referenci kod kue, a koje e im omoguiti izvoz i roba i usluga na
ino trita.
Vreme je da sa deklerativnih opredeljenja o stvaranju poslovnog am-
bijenta u Srbiji koji e pogodovati kompanijama koje rade, stvaraju i
zapoljavaju kadrove u Srbiji u realnom sektoru, ponemo tako i da
se ponaamo. Patriotizam ne ini samo odbrana teritorijalnog integri-
teta ve i zalaganje da ekonomska mo firmi, a time i drave, jaa.
Treba nam vie ekonomskog patriotizma, a visoko postavljeni ciljevi
zahtevaju i od mene i od svih zaposlenih u Energoprojektu da uloe
maksimalnu energiju, ambiciju i znanja da se ostvaruju i premauju
poslovni planovi. Za mene je jedina prava nagrada da Energoprojekt
bude velika i mona firma i da za svoje akcionare ostvaruje rast vred-
nosti akcija i stvara dobit.
Kako vidite budunost Energoprojekta?
Energoprojekt vidim kao potvrenog lidera u Srbiji i regionu i kao
kompaniju koja se razvija i raste i svojim vlasnicima donosi sigurnost
i dobit. Vidim je kao kompaniju koja realizuje poslove u vie zemalja
u svetu nego danas, a koju investitori svrstavaju u najpouzdanije, na-
jodgovornije i najkvalitetnije. Vidim je kao poeljniju kompaniju za
mlade strunjake eljne sticanja novih znanja i prihvatanja najveih
izazova. Konano, vidim je kao drutveno odgovornu kompaniju i
nosioca svih velikih infrastrukturnih projekata u zemlji, koja posluje

as well as the contract for the design and construction of the Ghana
Airport Cargo Center in the capital city of Ghana. When we add to
these contracts some other new contracts abroad and in the country,
the total value of the works that Energoprojekt must carry out in the
coming years amounts to more than 650 million Euros. That is, as
far as Energoprojekt and the signing of new contracts are concerned,
this year is better than the last and we expect to accomplish our goals
regarding the negotiation of new contracts before the end of the year,
creating thus the conditions to obtain higher incomes and profit than
expected for this year.
You are the winners are numerous prizes, awarded by entre-
preneurs and managers to their colleagues on the basis of
work performance and personal attitude. Also the company
that you lead has received several awards. Do you think
that you have accomplished the plans that you had when
you became Chief Executive Officer of Energoprojekt?
All public recognitions are important, including the last one awarded to
our company Energoprojekt Entel p.l.c., Best of Serbia for business
excellence. Since I was elected Managing Director of Energoprojekt
Holding p.l.c. in October 2010, I defined our main goal without
hesitation, regardless of all the inherited problems. Our main goal is
to bring Energoprojekt to the business position it held in the mid-to
late 80s. These high goals are not demagogic and I am sure that they
are attainable with good organization and provided that the State will
grant us the support that such companies have all around the world.
In order to achieve this goal, domestic investments must be made
by domestic companies, the economic policy of the country and the
bilateral relations with other countries must be based on the economy,
professional work must be adequately appreciated and there should
be enforced a policy that will allow domestic companies to acquire
references at home, enabling thus the export of goods and services to
foreign markets.
It is time that we begin to apply the declarative commitments of creating
a business environment in Serbia, which will favor companies that
work, create and employ staff in the real sector of Serbia. Patriotism
is not just to defend the territorial integrity of the country, but also
to commit to maintaining the economic strength of companies and
therefore of the State. We need more economic patriotism, because the
high goals that we have set to ourselves require that I and the employees
of Energoprojekt invest maximal energy, ambition and knowledge in
order to achieve and exceed our business plan. For me the only real
reward is that Energoprojekt will be a large and powerful company and
that it will create value and profit for its shareholders.
How do you see the future of Energoprojekt?
I see Energoprojekt as the confirmed leader in Serbia and the region,
as a company that develops and grows, ensuring safety and profit
to its owners. I see it as a company that will implement operations
in more countries around the world than it does today, a company
that investors will rate among the most reliable, most responsible
and most efficient ones. I see it as a desirable company for young
professionals, who want to acquire new knowledge and accept
bigger challenges. Finally, I see it as a socially responsible company,
holder of all major infrastructure projects in the country, a company
that operates in full respect of the legislation, creating profit that is
reinvested in the country.

 Od 2000. godine priamo o reformama. One su zapoinjane, ali nijed-
na nije dovedena do kraja. Reforme ponu, a onda se prave kozmetike
promene i truli kompromisi jer, logino, one uvek nekog pogaaju.
Ne moete da sprovedete reforme i da ljudi odmah oseaju boljitak.
Obino se benefit promena osea nakon dve, tri godine i zato niko ne
eli da zapoinje reforme jer je oigledno da, u kratkom vremenskom
roku, ima i negativnih efekata. Mi sada imamo ansu da zaista re-
forme dovedemo do kraja, ma koliko e nas to kotati za etiri godine.
Siguran sam da e ljudi pozitivno reagovati na tako neto jer e efekti
biti vidljivi, videemo svetlo na kraju tunela i otvorie se perspektive.
Sada je potrebno da vratimo nadu ljudima jer vie ne veruju da ovde
moe biti bolje i vrlo su apatini. Mislim da moe da bude bolje, uko-
liko se svi trgnemo i ukoliko ispunimo obeanja do kraja.

We are constantly talking about the reforms since the year 2000. We
have started them but they have never been finalized. The reforms start,
then some cosmetic changes are made as well as some rotten compro-
mises, because logically the reforms usually hit someone. You cannot
just implement them at once and feel the progress immediately. Usually
the benefit of such changes can be felt two or three years later, and no-
body wants to go into that because obviously in the short terms you will
have some negative effects as well. We have a chance now to undertake
real reforms and bring them to an end, no matter how much it costs us
after four years, but I am sure that people will react positively, because
the effects will be visible, we will see the light at the end of the tunnel
and perspective will open. What we need right now is to bring back hope
to the people because they do not believe that things can be better and

same things - why do we need foreign investors, we have the resources

reformi je da, sa jedne strane, iskoristimo svoju pamet i resurse i, sa
druge, da privuemo strane investitore koji donose novu tehnologiju,
kulturu rada, standarde...
Vaa stranka, Socijaldemokratska partija Srbije, zalae se
za socijalnu pravdu. Kako uklopiti neophodnost reformi sa
brigom o ugroenim kategorijama stanovnitva ?
Mi kao partija teimo socijalnoj pravdi. I da nismo u krizi, da nije
ovolika nezaposlenost i nizak standard, uvek bi bilo ljudi koji zavise
od drave. To su ljudi koji zbog svoje bolesti, starosti, invalidnosti ne
mogu da brinu o sebi. U Srbiji ima 40.000 ljudi koji ive sami. To su
staraka, samaka domainstva po naputenim selima. Ko e da brine
o njima ako ne drutvo i drava? Oko 200.000 ljudi iznad 65 godina
nemaju nikakva primanja nisu ostvarili pravo na penziju, iz nekih
administrativnih razloga nemaju ni pravo na socijalnu pomo. O nji-
ma drava mora da brine. Tu su i osobe sa smetnjama u razvoju, inva-
liditetom... U konanom zbiru, ak i da izaemo iz krize, uvek e biti
oko dvesta, trista hiljada ljudi o kojima drava mora da brine. Da ne
govorimo o deci sa smetnjama u razvoju, o domovima za naputene.
Ima i penzionera koji imaju penzije od kojih ne mogu da ive i njih
drutvo mora da pomae. Moramo, konano, da ponudimo reformu
penzionog sistema, odnosno PIO fonda na koji nain on moe manje
da zavisi od budeta a vie od svojih prihoda, da utvrdimo kolika je
imovina PIO fonda, kako da je stavimo u funkciju da prihoduje, a ne
samo da eka da se popune rupe iz budeta. To su pitanja koja mora-
mo da reavamo. Ona nisu nimalo laka i zato se kao partija zalaemo
za socijalnu pravdu da drava pomogne onimada za one koji ne
mogu da ostvaremaju elementarne uslove za ivot.
Iako je Vlada bila u tehnikom mandatu, uspeli ste da
pokrenete socio-ekonomski dijalog izmeu poslodavaca,
sindikata i drave koji je, na neko vreme, bio obustavljen.
ta je cilj njegovog obnavljanja ?
Cilj je da doemo do to veeg stepena saglasnosti o Zakonu o radu,
kljunog sistemskog zakona za ceo radni svet. elimo da pokuamo
da se dogovorimo, da budemo uporni u traenju nunih kompromisa,
da vidimo oko kojih taaka se slaemo, moramo da uvaimo zahteve
sindikata. Nee to, da se razumemo, ii nimalo lako, ali mislim da
smo blizu dogovora o spornim takama, a to je pitanje otpremnina,
ugovora o radu, minimalne zarade, uslova za otkaz i ukupnih rad-
no-pravnih odnosa, instituta koje treba ugraditi ili ne. Verujem da
moemo da napravimo iskorak.

to raise our economy by ourselves. Well, we dont, I wish we do but
we dont. No economy today can stand alone. Not even markets big-
ger than ours can survive alone. You must meet five conditions, as I
like to say. Quality, quantity, continuity, control and competitiveness
to make your product competitive in the worlds market. The essence
of these reforms is, on one hand, that we use our intelligence and re-
sources, and on the other, to attract foreign investors who bring new
technology, work culture, standards...
Your party, the Social Democratic Party of Serbia, advo-
cates for social justice. How to harmonize, on the one hand
the necessity of reforms, and on the other the need to take
care of vulnerable groups?
As a party we strive to social justice. Even if we were not in crisis,
if there was no such a large unemployment and low standard, there
would always be people who depend on the state and what the state
can offer. Those are people who, because of their illness, old age,
disability, cannot take care of themselves. We have 40 000 people
living in single-person households in Serbia. These are elderly, sin-
gle-person households in abandoned villages. Who will take care of
them if not the society, the state? We also have almost 200 000 people
over 65 without any income. They are not entitled to a pension for
some administrative reasons, and do not have the right to receive so-
cial aid. The state must look after them, too. You have people with
disabilities, invalids... Finally, even if we get out of the crisis, there
will always be some two hundred, three hundred thousand people that
the government would have to take care of. Not to mention children
with disabilities who are abandoned in nursing homes. If you have the
pensioners who receive their pensions, but cannot live from them, the
society must help them. Finally, we have to present the reform of the
pension system, or to be more precise, the reform of a pension fund,
to find a way to make it less dependent on budget and to have make it
rely more on its own income, to determine its assets and the manner
they will be managed, the manner it would create an income and not
just wait to fill holes in the budget. These are the issues that we need
to solve, it is not easy and thats why we, as a party are advocating for
social justice - for those who cannot obtain the basic requirements for
life, to have the state be the one that do it for them.
Although the government was in a technical mandate, you
were able to initiate the socio - economic dialogue among
employers, trade unions and the state, which were suspend-
ed for some time. What is the purpose of its recovery?
10.8.2014 12:55:46
 Da li najavljene reforme podrazumevaju i veu tednju ?
Ne treba narod da tedi i nema ta da tedi, drava je ta koja treba da
pazi. Imamo mnogo agencija, 31.000 automobila, 760.000 zaposlenih
u javnom sektoru. Postoje agencije za koje ne vai Zakon o dravnim
slubenicima rade kako hoe i podiu plate, to je paradoks. Sad
zamislite situaciju pravnik u mom ministarstvu naplauje taksu za
miljenje 20,50 dinara, a pravnik u agenciji istu naknadu naplauje
sedam puta vie. Sve to moramo da uredimo, da menjamo Zakon o
agencijama i da za njih vai ista regulativa kao i za druge. Te agencije
jesu osnivane po uzoru na evropske, to je poslednjih godina bio trend,
ali je, kao i sve ostalo, i to zloupotrebljavano. Ideja je bila da agencije
lake komuniciraju sa evropskim fondovima, da ostvaruju donacije
za svoj rad. Meutim, onda su se pojavile agencije za sve i svata i
pretvorile se u svoju suprotnost.
Da li ste zadovoljni onim to ste uradili u oblasti trgovine i
telekomunikacija tokom mandata?
Na polju unutranje trgovine uspeli smo da donesemo nekoliko za-
kona. Ono to nismo stigli da uradimo i za ime alim jesu Zakon o
potroaima i Zakon o robnim berzama. Na polju telekomunikacija,
pokrenuli smo proces digitalizacije, 75 posto inicijalnog signala je
puteno, u pregovorima smo sa Evropskom bankom za obnovu i raz-
voj za obezbeivanje sredstava i nadam se da emo taj proces zavriti
do predvienog roka, a to je jun 2015.

The goal is to reach a higher level of agreement on labor law, the key law
for the entire working population. We want to try to reach an agreement,
to be persistent in seeking such compromise is necessary, to see on which
points we agree, we have to respect the demands of trade unions because
who do we bring this law for? It wont be easy, to be honest, but I think
we are close to an agreement on the disputed items such as severance
pay, employment contracts, minimum wages, conditions for termination
of working contract and the total labor law relations, institutes that should
be implemented or not. I believe we can make a step forward.
Will the reforms include greater savings?
We do not want people to save and there is nothing to save, the state
should take care of it. We have many agencies, 31 000 cars, 760,000 peo-
ple employed in the public sector. We have agencies that do not respect
the law on civil servants, they can do whatever they want, and they can
raise wages, which is a paradox. Now, imagine a situation, a lawyer in my
ministry charges a fee for legal opinion of some 20.50 dinars and those in
agencies charge a fee up to seven times higher for the same type of work.
Now we have to take it back and amend the Law on Agencies, to apply
the same regulation to them as well as to the others. These agencies were
founded on the European model, it has been a trend in recent years, but
like everything else, it was abused. The idea was to communicate with
European funds easier, to generate donations for their work. And then the
agencies for all sorts of things emerged and it turned into its opposite.
Are you satisfied with what you have done in the field of
trade and telecommunications during your mandate?
In the field of internal trade, we managed to adopt several laws. But I
regret that we didnt have enough time to finalize the law on consumers
and the law on commodity exchanges. In the field of telecommunications
we have initiated the process of digitalization, 75 percent of the initial
signal has been released, we are negotiating with the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development to obtain funds and I hope we could
finish the process in due time until June 2015.

iven that you are seriously engaged in humanitarian work and that in most

G cases humanitarian work is the mask for completely different things, how
difficult is it to organize diverse humanitarian actions in such conditions?
No good deed goes unpunished (these words are attributed to clare boothe luce,
editor, dramatist and member of the u.s. congress). Since the foundation of b92, we have been
engaged in humanitarian, social and political activism, and we have extensive experience in
the field of misperceptions, malicious interpretations and attempts to discredit or to attack our
credibility.we always count on that and on the fact that we will be punished in many ways,
because we work successfully and transparently for the benefit of citizens and the community.

principima koji ukljuuju potenje, transparentnost i maksimalnu po-
sveenost idejama i projektima Fonda. Uz uspene akcije, to je za nas
najefikasnija odbrana.

povoljan zakonski okvir i razvijena praksa fondacija i slinih organi-

vo zbog drutvene odgovornosti koja se ogleda i kroz raskrinkavanje
pojava koje dovode do pogoranja ivota graana. Verujem da pored
reavanja problema graana i insituticija, moramo govoriti i o proble-
mima koji dovode do toga da se pojedine grupe ljudi nalaze u veoma
loem poloaju. Bavei se time kao kompatibilnim delom humanitar-
nog i socijalnog angamana, plaam veliku cenu u profesionalnom i
privatnom ivotu.
We professionalized our work in this area a long time ago. The b92
fund has a strong internal code. Employees and activists have a strong
commitment to principles that include integrity, transparency and max-
imum commitment to the ideas and projects of the fund. Together with
successful operations, this fact is an efficient defense for us.
One of the greatest problems that we face isthe unfavorable environ-
ment and negative attitude to philanthropic and charitable work.We
lack a favorable legal framework and a developed practice for founda-
tions and similar organizations.There are no legal or practicalbenefits,
incentives or encouragement measuresfor donors and philanthropists.
There have not been established standards to present companies and
entrepreneurs that incorporate responsible business behavior in their
basic activities as better and more valuable organizations, with which
it is better to cooperate rather than with those that do not care and just
seek profit, which is quickly transformed into yachts and other luxury
habits. I amunder constant police protection because of the social re-
sponsibility that we show by exposing situations that lead to the dete-
rioration of life.I believe that, besides solving the problems of citizens
and institutions, we need to talk about the problems that put certain
groups of people in a very bad position. I pay a heavy price in my pro-
fessional and personal life, because i am engaged in such activities as a
compatible part of my humanitarian and social engagement.

Na koji humanitarni fond ste najvie ponosni i gde ste imali
najvie uspeha, odnosno gde su prikupljena najvea mate-
rijalna sredstva?
Posebno sam ponosan na sveobuhvatan uinak Fonda B92 i ljudi koji
ga ine svojom posveenou i ovekoljubljem. Naime, svojim anga-
manom uinili su da fond bude najprestinija institucija ove vrste u
Srbiji, ali i nekakav model na koji i u drugim zemljama gledaju kao na
neto to treba iriti dalje kako bi drutva bila bolja i kako bi se razlika
izmeu najbogatijih i najsiromanijih, najnemonijih smanjivala, ili
kako bi se gradio most solidarnosti. Siguran sam da je Fond B92 do-
prineo da u naoj zemlji poraste broj pojedinaca i institucija u kojima
je princip davanja jedan od osnovnih ivotih ili poslovnih principa.
Samim tim je i broj onih koji su dobili pomo porastao.
Bitka za bebe - porodilita je do sada najuspenija akcija koja je oku-
pila 1.3 miliona uesnika. Prikupljeno je preko 3.5 miliona evra, i
od tog novca je kupljena oprema. Svako porodilite u Srbiji i svaka
deija bolnica dobili su vanu opremu, prvo za prevremeno roene
bebe, a potom i onu koja im je najhitnije bila potrebna, kada je re

we plan. They are usually not interested in publicity or in any kind of
recognition. They are often engaged in this kind of activities also outside
the b92 fund. I think, however, that we have exhausted the chances of
increasing the number of people that have acquired such habit or that
do it on a regular basis. Therefore, it is important to make a new break-
through. I see a possible breakthrough in favorable and stimulating laws,
exemption from taxes and even tax incentives for the amount paid for
humanitarian, social and educational purposes.
Which charity action are you most proud of and where have
you had your largest successes, in what action have you
collected the largest amount of funds?
I am particularly proud of the overalleffect of the b92 fund and of
the people that make it possible through their dedication and love for
mankind.In fact, their commitment made this fund the most prestigious
institution of its kind in serbia and also a model that people in other
countries regard as something that should be spread further, in order
to improve society and reduce the differences between the richest and
poorest, by building bridges of solidarity. I am sure that the b92 fund
has contributed to increasing the number of individuals and institutions
in our country that consider giving as one of the leading principles in
business and life. As a consequence, the number of people that receive-
assistance has increased.

sama akcija dobili su brojna domaa i svetska priznanja. Vano je rei
da akcija jo uvek traje i ovog meseca se dogovaramo sa kompanijom
Nordeus da doniraju sredstva koja e pomoi da se potpuno ree pro-
blemi najmanje jo tri porodilita u razliitim delovima Srbije.
Za uspeh akcija su veoma vane i kreativne kampanje koje nam pro
bono radi agencija Satchi & Satchi, kao i druge agencije grupe Publi-
cis koju vodi Mia Luki, koji je takoe potpuni posveenik drutveno
korisnog poslovanja. Zahvaljujui i toj posveenosti i kampanjama
koje je radila najnagraivanija agencija sa naih prostora. Ovo je jo
jedan dokaz da kada se drutveno odgovorni angaman stavi u osnovu
delatnosti bilo kojeg preduzeamoe da da izuzetan uspeh i kredibili-
tet, novu dodatnu vrednost kompaniji.
A kada je re o rezultatima Fonda B92, mogue ih je i ovako pred-
staviti:
1 digitalni pokretni mamograf = preko 55.000 pregleda i
preko 1.000 spasenih ivota
9 slobodnih zona (festival angaovanog filma) = preko 125.000
gledalaca
1 transfuzioloki autobus =preko 10.000 litara donirane krvi
1 regeneracija = prva regionalna web serija sa preko pola mi-
liona gledalaca
5 sigurnih kua = preko 3.000 zatienih od nasilja
1 hrana za sve = preko 60 narodnih kuhinja ponovo otvoreno,
stalna pomo kuhinjama na Kosovu
1 kulturni centar Rex = preko 4.000 dogaaja, sa preko pola
miliona posetilaca, za 20 godina postojanja
1 Bitka za bebe = 207 inkubatora za preko 10.000 prevremeno
roenih beba svake godine
1 centar za bezbedni internet =preko 20.000 informisane dece,
spotovi
1 Fond B92 = 10 godina rada
Pre skoro dve godine ste izjavili da je model 90-tih ponovo
zaiveo. Da li se neto promenilo od tada?
Povod za tu izjavu bile su reakcije na na serijal o rasipanju para na
Kosovu, besomunoj pljaki sredstava iz budeta, to je proizvelo
hajku na Insajder i B92, ali i niz drugih dogaaja, kao to je agresiv-
no oglaavanje ekstremnih desniara, pravljenje spiskova nepodobnih
po etnikim, politikim, kulturolokim kriterijumima. Danas moe-
mo rei da je i skuptinski odbor za preispitivanje troenja budetskih
sredstava na Kosovu doao do istih zakljuaka kao Insajder, ali de-
sniarske organizacije i dalje imaju veliki manevarski prostor u poli-
tikom ivotu. Na politikoj sceni, kroz tabloide koji pripadaju razli-
itim uticajnim grupama, bilo politikim ili ekonomsko-tajkunskim,
vodi se pravi rat kojim se kre ne samo etiki, moralni, lini integritet,
ve se svakodnevno ine i krivina dela.
Naravno, pojavljuju se i naznake mogunosti da se odreene pojave iz
devedesetih raskrinkaju, kao to su politika ubistva, ili da se odreeni
aspekti prvobitne akumulacije kapitala razliitih tajkuna razotrkiju i
sankcioniu tamo gde za to postoje dokazi. Veoma je vano to vrlo
konkretno suoavanje sa naom proslou kako bismo obezbedili da
nam se dogaaji iz devedesetih nikada ne ponove.

hospital and childrens hospital in serbia received important equip-
ment, first for premature babies, and then the equipment that they most
urgently needed to ensure the survival of babies. Besides the fact that
we have equipped all maternity hospitals with incubators, so far we
have provided ten maternity hospitals with all the necessary equip-
ment. During the first year,the institute for neonatology registered a
20% decrease in the mortality of babies born with a weight of less than
1000 grams. Certainly those are our best and most visible results so
far. This action spilled across the border into bosnia and herzegovina,
where we have solved half of the needs for incubators in the entire ter-
ritory of bosnia. A similar action took place in croatia. The campaign
and the action received numerous national and international awards. It
is important to say that the action is still going on and that this month
we are negotiating with nordeus company, which will donate the nec-
essary funds to completely solve the problems of at least three mater-
nity hospitals in different parts of serbia.
Successful action require large and creative campaigns, which are or-
ganized by satchi&satchi agency and two more agencies of the publicis
group led by mialuki, who is a complete devotee of socially oriented
business.I would like to point out the dedication and campaigns con-
ducted by most the awarded agencies of our region. This is one more
proof that, whenever a company places socially responsible involvement
as the corner stone of its activities, it can have remarkable success and
credibility, adding new value to the company.
And when it comes to the results of the b92 fund, we can present them
in the following way:
1 = Digital mobile mammograph = over 55,000 examinations
and over 1,000 saved lives
9 Free zones (socially engaged film festival) = over 125,000
viewers
1 Transfusion bus = more than 10,000 liters of donated blood
1 Regeneration = first regional web series with over half a mil-
lion viewers
5 Safe houses = more than 3,000 people protected from vio-
lence
1 Food for everyone = 60 reopened soup kitchens, constant
assistance for soup kitchens in kosovo
1 Rex cultural center = over 4,000 events with over half a mil-
lion visitors during 20 years of existence
1 Battle for the babies = 207 incubators for over 10,000 pre-
mature babies per year
1 Safe internet center = more than 20,000 well-informed chil-
dren, spots
1 B92 fund = 10 years of work
A short time ago you declared that the model of the 90 has
been revived. Has anything changed since then?
The reason for this statement was the response to our series about the
waste of money in kosovo, about the crazy looting of funds from the
state budget, which lead to a campaign against insider and b92, as
well as to a number of ugly events, such as the aggressive advertising
by extreme right-wingers and the creation of lists of undesirable peo-
ple based on ethnic, political and cultural criteria. Nowadays, we can
say that the parliamentary commission for the review of budget spend-
ing in kosovo came to the same conclusions as insider, but right-
wing organizations continue to have a large leeway in political life.
On the political scene,tabloids belonging to various influential groups,

Na politikom planu, bez
obzira ko bude na vlasti i sa
kojim procentom se dogodi
pobeda na izborima, mora se
stvoriti iroka koalicija oko
neophodnih poteza.
Kau da e ovo biti najtea godina do sada? Da li je to oaj-
niki pokuaj prethodne vlasti da opravda dosadanji neu-
speh, pre tri godine su nam govorili da emo izai iz krize
do kraja 2014. godine?
Uvek ima tee i gore. Ne znam da li e biti najtea, ali je ve preteka.
Naime, ovu godinu smo skoro pa izgubili jer e formiranje nove vlade
sigurno trajati do poetka leta. Ostaje nam onda jesen da se priprema-
mo za narednu godinu. Nee biti toliko izgubljena ako postoji ree-
nost da se ubrzaju reforme, da se najbolji izaberu da vode najvanije
segmente ekonomije i privrede, ako se angauju iz sveta iskusni me-
naderi za to vei broj pozicija, i ako se paralelno bude vodilo rauna
o socijalnoj politici na odriv nain. Svako kalkulisanje sa populiz-
mom samo e nas gurati dalje od ekonomskih reenja. Na politikom
planu, bez obzira ko bude na vlasti i sa kojim procentom se dogodi
pobeda na izborima, mora se stvoriti iroka koalicija oko neophodnih
poteza. Ja bih najvie voleo ako bi budua vladajua koalicija pozvala
za okrugli sto i opoziciju i vanije nevladine organizacije, predstav-
nike sindikata i vodeih naunih ustanova. Svi bi oni morali zajedno
da promisle neophodne reformske inicijative, kako bi se dolo do to
ireg konsenzusa oko njih, ali i kako bi graani bili bolje informisani
o tome ta ih eka i zbog ega je to apsolutno neophodno. Vano je da
se preventivno reaguje na moguu eksploziju gneva siromanih, oaj-
nih, bespomonih... Treba im pokazati da postoji nain da se i njihova
pozicija popravi, i delima to i dokazati.
Da li moete da predvidite politiku i javnu sliku Srbije po-
sle izbora i do kraja godine?
Nisam prorok i u Srbiji je vrlo nezahvalno predviati. Potpuno je ja-
sno da e politikom scenom dominirati SNS, a najvie Aleksandar
Vui. Bilo bi idealno ako bi imali snage da naprave okrugli sto koji
sam pomenuo u prethodnom odgovoru, kako bi se napravio ozbiljan
pokuaj stvaranja konsenzusa oko reavanja najvanijih pitanja, kako
bi se kasnije to eliminisalo iz svakodnevne politike borbe. I vlast i
opozicija imaju obavezu prema graanima, a ne sami prema sebi, i
oni moraju uiniti sve ono to do sada nije injeno da zajednikim
snagama spree bedu, siromatvo, beznae, da stvore osnove razvoja
zemlje koja e obezbeivati ravnopravnost graana, snanu solidar-
nost, modernizaciju ekonomije, privrede...
Verovatno budui predsedavajui Evropske komisije an Klod Junker
je rekao: Svi mi znamo ta treba uraditi, samo ne znamo kako da
nakon toga budemo izabrani.
SNS, a i druga politika elita u Srbiji, moraju se odvojiti od ove ma-
trice koja ne dozvoljava da se uradi ono to svi znamo da mora da se
uradi zbog toga to onda nee biti izabrani na narednim izborima. Pa
ta? Ne propada svet ako se izgubi vlast, a narod dobije prosperitetni-
ju budunost. Ne postoji nita vanije od toga.

At political level, it does not
matter which party is in power
and what percentage it won; the
fact is that a broad coalition will
have to be formed in order to
make the necessary moves.
politicians or tycoons, lead a war in violation of ethical, moral and
personal integrity, carrying out criminal offenses on a daily basis.
Of course, there are indications that certain events of the ninetiesmight
reappear, such as political assassinations, or that certain aspects of the
primitive accumulation of capital by various tycoons are unveiled and
punished, if there is evidence.It is very important to face our past in
order to ensure that the events of the nineties will never happen again.
It is said that it will be one of the most difficult years so far?
Is that a desperate attempt by the current government to
justify its failures? Three years ago, the previous govern-
ment said that we would getout of the crisis by the end of
2014. What do you think about that?
There is always more difficult and worse.I do not know whether this will
be the most difficult one, but it is very difficult. We have practically lost
this year, because the formation of a new government will certainly last
until the beginning of the summer. We will have just this autumn to pre-
pare for the next year. The losses will not be so large, if there is a deter-
mination to accelerate reforms and pick the most necessary ones, which
will transform important segments of the economy, in case experienced
managers are engaged in the largest possible number of positions and
if social policy is implemented in a sustainable manner. Populist cal-
culations will only push us away from economic solutions. At political
level, it does not matter which party is in power and what percentage it
won; the fact is that a broad coalition will have to be formed in order to
make the necessary moves. I would like the future ruling coalition to
organize a round table and invite the opposition, important non-govern-
ment organizations, labor union representatives and the main scientific
institutions. All of them should rethink together the necessary reform
initiatives, in order to reach the widest possible consensus aroundthem.
They should also inform the public, so that citizens will know what to
expect and why such measures are absolutely necessary.It is important
to respond preventively to the risk of an anger explosion of the poor,
desperate, helpless etc. It is important to show them that there is a way
toimprovetheir position,and that this will be proved by facts.
Can you predict the political and public situation in Serbia
after the elections or until the end of the year?
I am not a prophet and it is very difficult to predict anything in serbia.It
is clear that the political scene will be dominated by the serbian progres-
sive party (sns), and mostly by aleksandarvui. It would be ideal if there
were forces, which might organize the round table that i mentioned in
the previous answer. Such a round table is necessary if we wish to make
a serious attempt to create the consensus required to solve the most im-
portant issues and remove them from the daily political struggle. Both

Insajder je obraivao razne teme. Da li je ostala neka
koja bi mogla da se istrai?
Na desetine vanih tema nije obraeno i veoma je teko sa malim
timom novinara i ogranienim budetom realizovati vie. Insajder je
postao neka vrsta projekta javnog servisa i verujem da bi trebalo da
ozbiljni fondovi razviju sistemsku pomo istraivakom novinarstvu
uopte, a Insajderu posebno, kako bi se svo to iskustvo pretoilo i u
region, ali i kako bi se znanje podelilo sa veim brojem novinara. Sve
je manje novinara istraivaa koji mogu preneti znanje drugima.
Uz to bilo bi zanimljivo istraiti i ta se dogodilo sa sluajevima koje
je Insajder razotkrio - zato nisu procesuirani? Zato su neke oso-
be abolirane? Zato na osnovu tih primera nije izmenjeno ponaanje
vlasti? To su prave reforme. Inae e i ono to je Insajder, po cenu
bezbednosti Brankice Stankovic, a i moje, napravio, ostati bez neke
vee koristi. Isto kao to e se desiti ako se nita ne naui iz istrage
o 24 privatizacije koje je zapoela Verica Bara. Pametni se ue na
grekama, a nesposobni i glupi uvek i iznova ponavljaju greke.
Koliko manjak odgovornosti u medijima utie na sadanju
sliku i ivot Srbije?
Mislim da je re o konceptima. Pojam odgovornost jednostavno ne
postoji u velikom broju ovdanjih medija. Prvo, postoje mediji sa
konceptom odreene politike grupacije. Potom, oni sa tajkunskim
konceptom - sa meovitim ekonomsko-politikim motivima. Postoje
i mediji koji imaju puno problema sa ekonomskim opstankom na tri-
tu i koji zbog toga moraju da rtvuju kvalitetno novinarstvo.
U ovim situacijama, odgovornost se i ne spominje kao neto to bi mo-
ralo da bude osnova za svaku javnu delatnost. Verujem da je to rezultat
sveukupnih odnosa u drutvu, srozavanja na svim nivoima, ali to ne
sme da bude opravdanje za neodgovorno ponaanje. Zastraujue je to
se ne potuju ni vrednosti koje su na elementarnom nivou ovenosti,
jer i van naih profesija imamo neke svoje obaveze - kao ljudi.
Iako nisam vernik moemo videti i srozavanje potovanja vredno-
sti i na tom nivou.Najmanje est bojih zapovesti primenjivo je na
drutvenu komunikaciju (kloniti se klanjanja idolima, krivokletstva i
psovke; potovati starije, tradiciju; kloniti se nasilja; kloniti se porno-
grafije; kloniti se korupcije; kloniti se lai; te biti solidaran sa drugim
novinarima). Isto tako, vrednosti Jevanelja mogu biti saete u pet
rei: sloboda, dostojanstvo, pravda, mir, ljubav (ljubi blinjeg svog
kao samog sebe). Mislim da je i zdravstvo na nekom prvom mestu
po ozloglaenosti u percepciji graana. I tu imamo podudaranje (sa
novinarskim kodeksom) i sa medicinskim vrlo starim vrednostima
angaman, saoseanje, integritet, kompetencija, istraivaki duh, po-
verljivost, odgovornost prema korisnicima i zajednici.
Kada se, dakle, pogleda iri kontekst ovih temeljnih obaveza u da-
nanjem kontekstu, vidimo opte srozavanje profesija i ljudi u odno-
su na ove elementarne vrednosti. U tom kontekstu, treba gledati i na
srozavanje u naoj profesiji. Zbog toga to je ovo iri trend, bie tee
vratiti procese na pravi put, upravo i zbog toga to nove platforme,
nove tehnologije, nove navike niu svaki dan i udaljavaju nas novim
praksama od elementarnih vrednosti, jer je opte srozavanje i u obra-
zovnom sistemu gde ne postoji kapacitet za formiranje znanja na ta-
kav nain da ono ostaje univerzalno, bez obzira na nove tehnologije i
navike. Veoma je vano stvoriti uslove da se dogodi preporod drutva
najvie kroz prosvetiteljske procese, odgovornu, modernu i sposobnu
vlast, ali i kroz snano uee nevladinih organizacija, pojedinaca,
kompanija, itd.

government and opposition have a duty towards citizens and not only
to themselves. They must do all that has not been done so far to prevent
misery, poverty and hopelessness, i.E. To create the basis for the develop-
ment of the country, in such a way that there will be provided equal rights,
strong solidarity, modernization of the economy etc. The probable future
chairman of the european commission jean-claude junker said: we all
know what to do. We just do not know whether we will be elected again
after doing it. The serbian progressive party (sns) and the rest of the
political elite of serbiamust give up the matrix, which does not allow
them to do what we all know that must be done, because that will pre-
vent them to win the next elections.So what? It is not the end of the
world if you lose power, but people will have a more prosperous future.
There isnothing more important than that.
Insider investigated several issues. Are there any issues left
that might be investigated?
Dozens of important issues have not been addressed and it is very difficult
to do it with a small team of journalists and a limited budget. Insiderhas
become a kind of public service project and i believe that serious funds
are necessary to develop systemic assistance for investigative journalism
in general andmore specifically for insider. In that way, this experience
will spill all over the region and the necessary knowledge will be shared
with a larger number of journalists.There are less and less investigative
journalists, who cantransfer their knowledge to others.
Besides that, it would be interesting to explore what happened in thecases
exposed by insider- why arent those people prosecuted?Why were cer-
tain people pardoned? Why hasnt the governments behavior changed
based on these examples? These are the real reforms. Otherwise, there
will be no major benefit from insider and from the risks to my personal
safety and to the safety of brankicastankovi. The same will happen if
find out nothing about the 24 privatizations that vericabara began to in-
vestigate. Smart people learn from their mistakes, while incompetents
and idiots repeat their mistakes again and again.
To what extent does the irresponsibility of mass-media in-
fluence the general picture and life in Serbia?
I think it is a matter of concepts.The notion of responsibility simply
does not exist in a large number of localmass-media. First of, there is
mass-mediathat supports the concepts of certain political groups.Then,
there are those that support tycoons concepts, with mixed economic and
political motives. There is also mass-media that has a lot of problems
regarding their economic survival in the market and therefore have to
sacrifice the quality of journalism. In these situations, responsibility is not
mentioned as something that should be the basis for any public activity. I
believe that this is the result of the overall relations in society, which have
crashed low on all levels, but it should not be an excuse for irresponsible
behavior.It is frightening that even the most elementary human values are
not respected, because we have duties beyond our profession, as human
beings.Although i am not a believer, we can see the degradation of values
at that level as well.At least six commandments are applicable to social
communication (stay away from idolatry, perjury and swearing; respect
the older and tradition; shun violence, pornography, corruption and false-
hood, and show solidarity to other journalists).Similarly, the values of the
gospel can be summarized in five words: freedom, dignity, justice, peace,
love (love your neighbor as much as yourself).I think that citizens regard
health care as the most disreputable segment. Here we can see that the
press code coincides with the very old medicinal values - commitment,

Kako reagujete na one koji kritikuju B92? Da li su to kon-
struktivne kritike sa nekim predlozima ili samo omiljeni
srpski sport?
Svaka kritika je vana, ne treba ih ignorisati, treba ih iskoristiti da
bismo postali bolji, ili da bar sami procenimo kakvi smo. Jako je va-
no da prvo budemo poteni sami prema sebi, da ne nalazimo stalno
alibije, da prikrivamo slabosti, da sami sebe ubeujemo da je neto
zlonamerno, da iza toga stoji ovaj ili onaj. Naravno, teko je to su-
oavanje, ali je i veoma vano, u svakom poslu, kako ne biste izgu-
bili vezu sa realnou. B92 je danas neto drugo u odnosu ono to
je bio devedesetih. Puno toga se oko nas promenilo, pa je morala da
se menja i priroda B92. Ja bih bio mnogo sreniji da smo uspeli da
B92 razvijemo kao najbolji svetski medij sa orginalnim poslovnim
modelom, ali nismo. Ne znam da li neko tako neto moe da napravi.
I dalje razmiljam o tome kako jedan takav medij napraviti, da u osno-
vi vlasnike strukture stoji Fondacija, a da medijska grupa slui za
objektivno, originalno, inovativno informisanje, edukovanje i zabavu,
da pri tom bude profitabilan, a da sredstva koriste Fondaciji za razvoj
misije. Dakle, profit koji bi bio investiran u misiju, a ne u luksuzne
jahte i drugu vrstu bahaenja.
Kakvi su vam planovi u predstojeem periodu, emisije i no-
vinarstva, neka eventualna pojaanja?
Veoma je teko govoriti o novim planovima kada imate pad trita. Za
samo pet godina, trite oglaavanja je vie nego duplo smanjeno. Taj
trend se nastavlja. Re je, dakle, vie o tome kako ouvati supstancu,
kapacitet za proizvodnju kredibilnih vesti, emisija kvalitetnih debata,
zahtevnih istraivakih emisija, kvalitetnih zabavnih emisija. Prioritet
u ovoj godini jeste finansijska, poslovna stabilizacija koja e omogu-
iti pravljenje novog modela za razvoj onih vrednosti po kojima je
B92 poznat. Ove godine obeleavamo 25 godina od osnivanja Radija
B92, i bie to odlina prilika da se podsetimo tih bazinih vrednosti
po kojima smo postali svetski poznati.
Da li su tabloidi tekovina demokratije, ako jesu, zato?
Pre par godina u Zagrebu je bila, prema reima naih kolega, zanimlji-
va situacija: na medijskoj sceni su postajala dva jaka igraa sa razli-
itim, ali izgleda komplementarnim stilovima. Jedan je pretio javnim
linostima nee vas biti u medijima, ako... A drugi obrnuto - staviu
te na naslovnu stranu i strano kompromitovati... Svi su mislili da je
prava srea to su se mrzeli, a onda su se oni pomirili i to su bili vrlo
zastraujui trenuci. Kod nas, kada govorimo o tabloidima govorimo,
kao to sam ve pomenuo, o odreenim konceptima, vie politikim the substance and the capacity to produce credible news, high-quality
i konceptima centara moi, nego to su to koncepti koji su iskljui-
vo vezani za prihode od tiraa i oglasa u novinama. Takvu situaciju
proizvodi i tolerie politika elita. Zbog toga nema mogunosti da
se problemi koje proizvode tabloidi ree regularno, kroz pravosudni
sistem ili kroz samoregulaciju kroz medijska udruenja. Kada pomi-
njete tekovine demokratije moda mislite na ono Volterovo ili ije ve
: Ne slaem se sa vama, ali u uiniti sve da moete da iznesete svoje
miljenje. Ovde je re o miljenju i svakako je to elementarni postu-
lat demokratije. Meutim, kod nas vie ne govorimo o miljenju kao
problemu, ve o besramnim laima koje se iznose bez ikakvih kon-
sekvenci, o optubama, hajkama koje imaju politiki ili ekonomski
motiv, a ne novinarski. ak i tabloidi se moraju pridravati kodeksa, a
da ne govorim o potovanju zakona, prezumpcije nevinosti, itd.

compassion, integrity, competence, exploratory spirit, confidentiality and
responsibility to customers and the community.Therefore,when we look
from the broader perspective of these basic obligations in todays con-
text, we may see a general degradation of the profession and of the peo-
ple in relation to these basic values.In this context,weshould also look at
the degradation of our profession.Given that this is a broader trend,it will
be more difficult to restore processes in the right way, precisely because
new platforms, new technologies and new habits pop up every day and
push us away from elementary values, by introducing new practices. The
reason is the general degradation of the education system, which is not
able to offer knowledge that remains universal, regardless of new habits
and technologies.It is very important to create conditions that will make
possible the rebirth of society mainly through an enlightenment process,
a responsible, modern and capable government, and the strong participa-
tion of non-government organizations, individuals, companies etc.
How do you react to those that criticize b92? Are these con-
structive criticisms that propose something or just exam-
ples of the favorite serbian sport?
Any criticism is important and it should not be ignored. Criticism must be
used in order to become better, or at least tojudge by ourselves what we
really are.First of all, it is important to be honest with ourselves and not to
find permanent alibis to hide our weaknesses, to convince ourselves that
everything is done with malicious intentions and that someone is behind
that criticism. Of course, facing criticism is hard, but it is also a very
important thing in any business, which prevents you from losing contact
with reality. B92 is nowadays something different from what it was in the
nineties. Many things have changed around us and therefore the very na-
ture of b92 had to change as well. I would be much happier if we had been
able to develop b92 like the worlds leading mass-media, with an original
business model, but we did not. I do not know whether someone can
do such thing. I am still thinking about how to create such mass-media,
with a foundation in the base of the ownership structure. Such a media
group would offer objective, original and innovative information, as well
as education and fun, keeping profitability and using the funds to develop
the mission of the foundation. Thus, theprofit would be invested in the
mission and not in the luxury yachts and other types of money wasting.
What are your plans for the coming period regarding emis-
sions, journalism and possible reinforcements?
It is very difficult to talk about new plans when the market is in decline.
In just fiveyears the advertising market has fallen to less than one half.
This trend continues. Therefore, the question is rather how to preserve
debates, demanding investigative programs and good entertainment
shows. The priority of this yearis thefinancial and commercial stabiliza-
tion, which will allow the creation of a new model for the development
of those values,by which b92 is known.This year we are celebrating 25
years of the creation of b92 radio. It will be a good opportunity to re-
member the basic values that have made us renowned worldwide.
Do tabloids represent a democratic tradition and if so, why?
A few years ago something happened in zagreb, which according to
our colleagues represents an interesting situation: two strong players
with completely different, but complementary styles appeared in mass-
media landscape.One threatened public figures - you will not appear

Koliko ste u toku sa drutvenim mreama, kako ih koristite
i da li mislite da hejtovanje najlaki nain da nekog na-
pravite popularnim?
Kada sam osnivao Opennet B92, prvi provajding centar u Srbiji to-
kom 1994. i 1995. godine, imao sam prevashodni motiv da poveem
sve one koji su otili iz zemlje sa nama koji smo ostali. Hteli smo da
gradimo i tu vrstu zajednice koja bi nam pomogla da se ne oseamo

Nijedno dobro delo ne prolazi nekanjeno / No good deed goes unpunished
It is very difficult to talk about
new plans when the market
is in decline. In just fiveyears
the advertising market has
fallen to less than one half
in mass-media, if ..., While the other one was the opposite - we will
put you on the front page and compromise you terribly ... Everyone
thought it was a stroke of luck that they hated one another but then
they reconciled and those were very frightening moments. In our coun-
try, when we talk about tabloids, we are talking about certain concepts,
as i already said, about the concepts of political forces and centers of
power, rather than concepts strictly related to incomes from sales and
advertisements. This situation is produced and tolerated by the politi-
cal elite. That is why; it is not possible to solve the problems created
by tabloids in a regular manner, through the judicial system or through
self-regulation by mass-media organizations. When you mention demo-
cratic traditions, you probably refer to what voltaire said: i disagree with
you, but i will do all that i can, so that you might express your opinion.
We are talking about opinion and that is an elementary part of democracy.
However, in our country we do not talk any more about opinion as a
problem, but as shameless lies that are uttered without any consequences,
charges or prosecution, because they have political or economic motives,
not professional ones. Even tabloids have to comply with a certain code,
not to mention the respect of law, the presumption of innocence etc.
How informed are you about social networks? How do you
use them? Do you think that constantly attacking someone
is the easiest way to make them popular?
When i founded opennet b92, the first providing center in serbia during
1994 and 1995,my primary motive was to connect all those who left the
country with those that decided to stay here.We wanted to build a kind of
community that would make us not feel abandoned and that would allow
those that left to use their talents to help those that stayed. We developed
such a bridge so that we would not feel so drastically the deficit of profes-
sional young staff. We did not achieve that, but by using the internet in
an innovative way, we succeeded to overcome the ban of 1996 and reach
the front page of the new york times, the washington post and the wired
magazine. This case was thoroughly studied later in specialized literature.
By developing our own portal,we developed completely new platforms
and thanks to the vip blog we achieved a great boom. Practically it was
the first organized form of citizen journalism.Our site is at the top of the
traffic and influence. Our facebook page has over 250,000 likes, while
twitter is at its maximum use. We try to have the friendliest possible at-
titude to new technologies and habits. We have a special application for
phones and that is why over half of our visitors follow us through our
mobile platform. We actively followsocial networks trying to use them
as much as possible for useful, noble and humanitarian purposes.We also
produced the first web serial through the b92 fund, samokaem (i am
just saying), which is intended for the teenage population, because the
new generation does not watch tv in the traditional way, but through the
internet and mobile phones.I do not like programs that constantly attack
some and i do not watch them. Unfortunately, still nowadays new plat-
forms and technologies are more frequently used to bring harm rather
than benefit.But it is our task to try to find new models that will motivate
people to use them more for general and individual welfare.

DIRECTOR OF DUBROVNIK AIRPORT

ROKO TOLI
SYNERGY LEADS TO RESULTS

ilipi Airport is also called Dubrovniks reception, because the largest number
of tourists who come to this coastal paradise arrive by plane. It has signed
contracts with more than 65 airlines and its major strategic partner is Croatia
Airlines. However, the people who run the airport are not lulled by good
results. Director RokoToli says that success is not the result just of the attractiveness
of the destination, but also of the team work of the employees. The most important is
loyalty to a common mission, because - he says - the airport has never been the result
of only one man. The main business goal is that ilipi might remainan efficient, safe
and comfortable airport for all its users.The management is pleased to point out the
good relations with colleagues in the region and its desire to cooperate with the Serbian
carrier, Air Serbia, in a more extensive and efficient way.

Da li je tee bilo voditi grad, kao pomonik gradonaelnika
dubrovnika, ili instituciju kao to je aerodrom
Svaki posao nosi svoju odgovornost, teinu i izazove, a razlika izmeu
korporativnog upravljanja i rukovoenja u lokalnoj samoupravi do-
ista jest poprilina. Aerodromski posao je dinaminiji u kontekstu
brzine donoenja odluka te provoenja istih, rad u avijaciji je glo-
baliziran, a podlonost stalnorastuim, svjetskim standardima brane
kontinuirana. Istovremeno, voenje Grada koji ima status kulturne
batine ovjeanstva i nosi epitet bisera Jadrana, jest uistinu posao
prepun specifinosti. Rado se sjeam tog razdoblja ivota, premda i
danas imam priliku blisko suraivati s gradonaelnikom, prije sve-
ga na poslovima vezanim uz destinacijski menadment. Tada sam
bio na poetku poslovne karijere, a bivanje u prilici da nastupam u
ime Dubrovnika me je neizostavno etabliralo na drutvenoj sceni,
kako lokalne tako i nacionalne razine. Danas predstavljam i vodim
najznaajniji gospodarski subjekt hrvatskog juga i zajedno sa svojim
timom imam ambiciju pokrenuti novi, dosad najvei projekat razvoja
prometne infrastrukture u naem kraju. Zasad smo na pravom putu
da u tome i uspijemo.
Kao direktor velikog javnog preduzea, koje dosadanje
rezultat smatrate pohvalnim
Zrana luka Dubrovnik ima imid efikasnog, tipino destinacijskog
aerodroma i na najvei uspjeh je da funkcioniramo kao pouzdana
logistika potpora najvanijoj dubrovakoj gospodarskoj grani,
a to je turizam. Gotovo pa 70% turistikih dolazaka na nau rivi-
jeru se odvija zranim putem i nije neopravdano da se smatramo
svojevrsnom recepcijom Dubrovnika. Poslujemo pod uvjetima izra-
zite sezonalnosti, a to vam primjerice znai da u jednom vikendu
jula ili avgusta, odradimo itav mjeseni promet januara, februara,
ili nekog drugog izvansezonskog mjeseca. Sve to zahtjeva podosta
umjenosti u planiranju infrastrukture i radne snage, a brojna dosad
dobivena priznanja od etabliranih svjetskih aviokompanija, kao i
posebno priznanje Vijea aerodroma Evrope (ACI Europe) za drugi
najbolji aerodrom u kategoriji do 5 milijuna putnika, govore da se
itekako imamo ime pohvaliti. Naravno, tu valja spomenuti i okol-
nost da se aerodrom Dubrovnik na polovici svog ivotnog vjeka,
morao doslovce uzdignuti iz pepela i uz veliki trud svojih zaposle-
nika dosegnuti standard i reputaciju kakvu danas uivamo.
Koje su to kompanije i destinacije koje povezuju Dubrovnik
sa ostalim delom evrope i sveta?
Zrana luka Dubrovnik je prole godine imala potpisan ugovor s
ak 65 aviokompanija i po tome bi se stekao dojam da je rije o
nekom velikom vorinom aerodromu, tzv. hubu, no u pozadini je
samo injenica da su brojni dijelovi svijeta iz kojih ljudi ele doi
i vidjeti Dubrovnik. Na glavni, strateki partner je Croatia Airlines
i od te suradnje oekujemo jo vie u budunosti, poglavito nakon
optimistinih rezultata koje dolaze kao rezultat procesa restruk-
turiranja toga prijevoznika. Oni su nam od krucijalne vanosti upravo
s obzirom na injenicu da nas dre u cjelogodinjoj povezanosti, a to
se tie sezone....tada dolaze doista svi i gotovo da se ne mogu sjetiti
renomiranije kompanije koja ne leti prema Dubrovniku, bilo da je
rije o tradicionalnim, tzv. legacy carrierima, bilo o low costerima, ili
pak charter prijevoznicima.

Is it harder to run the city, as assistant mayor of dubrovnik,
or to run an institution, such as the airport?
Each job carries its responsibilities, difficulties andchallenges, and
the difference between corporate governance and management
in a local government is really considerable.Airport work is very
dynamic,due the speed that is necessary to make a decision and
implement it. Aviation is a globalized business, always susceptible to
the ever-growing global standards of the industry. At the same time,
the management of a city, which has the status of cultural heritage
of mankind and is called the pearl of the Adriatic, is truly a very
specific work. I love to remember that period of my life, although
I still have the opportunity to work closely with the Mayor, mainly
on activities related to destination management. By that time, I was
at the beginning of my business career, and having the chance to act
on behalf of Dubrovnik is something that inevitably put me on the
social scene at both, local and national level. Today I represent and
run the most important economical subject of the South of Croatia
and, together with my team, I have the ambition of starting the largest
project up today for the development of infrastructure in our region.
So far, we are on track to succeeding.
As director of a large public company, which of your results
do you find commendable?
Dubrovnik Airport is the image of an efficient destination airport and
our greatest achievement is to function as a reliable logistics support
for the most important economic branch of Dubrovnik, which is
tourism. Almost 70% of tourist arrivals to our Riviera take place by
air and it is not unreasonable to consider our airport as Dubrovniks
reception. We operate under conditions of extreme seasonality, which
means that during one weekend in July or August, we may have the
traffic of January, February or any other non-seasonal month. That
requires a good deal of skill in planning infrastructure and manpower.
That is why; we have obtained numerous recognitions from solid
international carriers, as well as the special recognition of the Council
of Airports of Europe (ACI Europe) for the second best airport in the
category of up to 5 million passengers. These facts clearly show that
we have what to boast of. Of course, we should also mention that, at
the middle of its lifespan, Dubrovnik airport was literally raised from
its ashes and that thanks to the efforts of its employees, it achieved the
standards and reputation it enjoys today.
Which are the airlines and destinations that connect
dubrovnik with the rest of the world?
Last year Dubrovnik Airport signed contracts with as many as 65
airlines and that produces the impression that we are a large nodal
airport or hub, but at the background is just the fact that people from
many parts of the world wish to come and see Dubrovnik. Our main
strategic partner is Croatia Airlines and we expect much more from
this collaborationin the future, especially after the optimistic results
obtainedby restructuring the carrier. Croatia Airlines is extraordinarily
important for us, because it keeps our connectivity during the entire
year... When we talk about the tourist season, I can hardly recall a
renamed company that does not fly to Dubrovnik, regardless that they
do it as traditional, so-called legacy carriers, low cost carriers, or
charter carriers.
Da li e air serbia da spaja dubrovnik sa evropom u zim-
skim mesecima i da li u decembru i januaru oekujete
povean broj putnika ka Dubrovniku?
Mi se toplo nadamo da je dosadanja razina suradnje sa srbijans-
kim avioprijevoznikom, najbolji jamac za skoro donoenje odluke o
cjelogodinjem letenju izmeu Beograda i Dubrovnika. Posebice to

Will air serbia connect dubrovnik with europe during winter
months? Do you expect higher numbers of passengers to
Dubrovnik in december and january?
We warmly hope that the current level of cooperation with the Serbian
air carrier is the best guarantee for adopting in the near future the
decision on year-round flying between Belgrade and Dubrovnik. That
is particularly viable nowadays, when Air Serbia is part of a large and
powerful family under the auspices of Etihad. We are convinced that the
potential of this alliance will enjoy soon the benefits of our cooperation.
Of course, even a layman in the aviation business will easily realize that
flying in winter is devoid of the dominant tourism demand, but it would
be superficial to evaluate the potential of the route, without taking into
consideration the gravitating Dubrovnik area (primarily Trebinje and
Herceg Novi), as well as a the excellent new offer of connections from
Belgrade to the Middle and Far East, which will certainly awake the
area of the three states, who use the services of ilipi Airport.
What is the collaboration with colleagues from the region?
I would say that we have a privileged position, due to the concrete
and warm cooperation with our colleagues from the region. In many

tualno zatraenoj strunoj pomoi te jednako tako i kao rado vieni
gosti diljem regiona.
Sleu li low cost kompanije na ilipe i koje?
Low cost prijevoznici znaajno poveavaju svoj udio u ukupnom
prometu svaku godinu, a kad nas su aktivni: Easyjet, Condor, Eu-
rolot, Germanwings, Jet2.com, Monarch Airlines, Norwegian Air
Shuttle, Transavia i Vueling. Sveukupno lete na 23 evropske desti-
nacije i premda jo uvijek nemamo suradnju s ultra-niskotarifnim
Ryanairom, vjerujem da je ovo respektabilna mrea koja e itekako
zadovoljiti poklonike ovakvog tipa aviokompanija.
Koji je va recept za uspeh s obzirom da ste najmladji
direktor aerodroma u regionu?
Teko mi je to odgovoriti.... Vjerojatno sam jo nezreo da bih znao
ak i recept za neuspjeh! alim se naravno. Parametre uspjenosti
svakako ne bi trebalo vezati uz ivotnu dob i mislim da bi prije sve-
ga, trebalo voditi rauna o neijim kompetencijama za obnaanje
povjerene dunosti. U tom kontekstu, krajnje neskromno bih prim-
jetio da moja karijera izgleda poprilino logino. Nakon prelaska iz
gradske uprave, proveo sam osam godina u menadmentu aerodro-
ma kao pomonik za ope, pravne i kadrovske poslove te informa-
tiku i zatitu zranog prometa. Za glavnog direktora sam imenovan
2009. Godine i trenutno sam u petoj godini svojeg mandata. Od
2003. godine sam certificirani auditor ICAO-a za zatitu zranog
prometa, od 2009. lan boarda IAAE (International Association of
Airport Executives), 2011. sam stekao AMPAP-International Air-
port Professional diplomu te postao ACI (Airport Council Interna-
tional) Member of the Security Commitee, odnosno lan Komiteta
za sigurnost. E sad, nakon svega ovog pobrojanog, elim rei da
lino smatram da bez sinergije tima kojeg vodim ne bi bilo ni
poslovnih rezultata s kakvima se danas volimo podiiti. Aerodrom
Dubrovnik nikada nije bio jedan ovjek niti je to sada, a nee
biti ni nakon mene. Bezrezervno vjerujem u lojalnost svih zaposle-
nika prema zajednikoj misiji, a to je da budemo efikasan, siguran
i ugodan aerodrom za sve korisnike naih usluga. Pri tome ne bih
imao nita protiv da me Va cijenjeni magazin, kojem elim jo

ways, this cooperation has gone beyond the usual forms of good
working relationships and has developed into a real friendship. I
do not know whether that happens because we have inherited the
traditional cosmopolitan spirit that Dubrovnik has cherished for
centuries as one of its basic characteristics, but it would not be
a clich to tell you that we are really happy to be good hosts to
our counterparts from the aviation business and to support them
whenever they need professional assistance. Weare also glad to
welcome guests from the entire region.
Do low-cost airlines fly to ilipi and which are they?
Low cost carriers have significantly increased their share in the total
turnover of each year. The following airlines are active: Easyjet,
Condor, Eurolot, Germanwings, Jet2.com, Monarch Airlines,
Norwegian Air Shuttle, Transavia and Vueling. All together, they fly
to 23 destinations across Europe. Although we still do not collaborate
with the ultra-low-cost Ryanair, I believe that it is a respectable
network that will certainly satisfy the fans of this type of airline.
What is your recipe for success, taking into consideration
that you are the youngest airport director in the region?
I find hard to answer that. Probably, I am not mature enough to
know even a recipe for failure! I am kidding of course. Success
parameters should not be linked to age and I think that first of all,
you should take into account a persons competence to perform
the entrusted duties. In this context, I will be extremely immodest
by saying that my career seems pretty logical. After leaving the
city administration, I worked for eight years in the management
of the airport as Assistant for general affairs, legal affairs, human
resources, information technology and the protection of air traffic. I
was appointed General Director in 2009 and I am currently serving
the fifth year of my time in office. I have been an ICAO certified
auditor for the protection of air traffic since 2003 and member of
the IAAE (International Association of Airport Executives) board
since 2009. In 2011 I was awarded the AMPAP - International
Airport Professional diploma and became Member of the Security
Committee of ACI (Airport Council International).
Now, after saying all this, I would like to add that I personally
believe that the business results we boast of would have never been
possible without the synergy of my team. Dubrovnik Airport has
never been one man; it is not nowadays and it will never be after
my departure. I unconditionally believe in the loyalty of all our
employees to a common mission, which is to be an efficient, safe
and comfortable airport for all our users. Of course, I would not
mind if one distant day your respected journal will give me the
honor of interviewing me again, so that I might freely say that I am
the most experienced airport director in the region!

a challenge and considers that his work implies a very high responsibility, but
it is not particularly difficult. He tries to contribute to the work of his fellow
citizens and numerous guests. He only looks to the future and considers that the greatest
contribution to his hometown will be done in the field of education. There have been
introduced special programs in kindergartens; schools have teaching assistants and
students are provided interest-free loans for education at world-renowned universities.

Obaveza u kojoj se uiva / A duty to enjoy
S obzirom na Vau bogatu profesionalnu politiku karijeru,
reklo bi se da ste od studentskih dana na nekoj od vanih
funkcija. Koja Vam je bila najdraa i na koju biste se ponovo
vratili?
Jedna od najdraih funkcija je sigurno trenutna funkcija gradonaelni-
ka, a druga koja mi je draga je funkcija upravnika Ope bolnice u Du-
brovniku. Svako vreme nosi svoje, u svakom poslu koji sam radio sam
na neki nain i uivao, jer se poslu posveujem s puno energije. Raduju
me novi izazovi, posebno kada ih uspeno savladam i kada se rezultati
vide. Nazad se ne bih vraao, jer uvek u ivotu gledam napred.
Da li je tee biti ministar zdravstva u Vladi ili voditi Dubrov-
nik jednu od najatraktivnijih turistikih destinacija u regi-
onu?
Ne bih rekao da se uopte radi o teini posla, nego o odgovornosti koju
je potrebno preuzeti. Lino uivam i uivao sam i u jednom i u drugom
poslu.
Da li ste zadovoljni onim to te postigli tokom svojih man-
data?
Jesam, jer iza mene stoje vidljivi i vrlo uverljivi rezultati. Kad sam bio
ministar, u Ministarstvu zdravstva pokrenuli smo mnoge vane prome-
ne, kao to je kompjuterizacija zdravstvenog sistema. U Dubrovniku
poslujemo u suficitu, radimo na kapitalnim projektima, smanjujemo
nezaposlenost, kupujemo imovinu umesto da je prodajemo, subven-
cioniemo vazduni i drumski saobraaj naim graanima do glavnog
grada Zagreba, u 2013. smo smanjili dopunski porez sa 15 na 10 posto,
a svakodnevno radimo na novim merama i projektima.
Koliko je teko, u globalno looj ekonomskoj situaciji, voditi
grad?
Na poetku je bilo teko vratiti dugove i smanjiti budet. Meutim,
locirali smo mesta gde se novac nepotrebno troio, pa smo nakon dve
godine poeli opet da ostvarujemo rast prihoda i budeta. Pritom, ni-
smo ukinuli nijedno pravo graanima, posebno socijalnim kategori-
jama, nego smo samo pametnije, poslovnije i odgovornije poeli da
koristimo sve gradske resurse, u prvom redu imovinu. Prihodnu stranu
budeta okrenuli smo vie prema turistima i onim delatnostima koje
nisu zahvaene krizom, tako da moemo da kaemo da Dubrovnik od
2012. vie nije u recesiji. tavie, budetsku 2012. i 2013. zavrili smo
sa suficitom, a javnost e rei kako nikad nije bilo vie investicija iz
gradske blagajne nego u tom periodu.
Da li su oekivanja ponekad nerealna s obzirom na gradsku
kasu?
Volim da kaem kako je mogue ispuniti svaku elju. Zaista, Grad Du-
brovnik danas je finansijski izuzetno stabilan. Meutim, to ne znai da
treba laziti u populistike investicije koje nemaju svoje ekonomsko
opravdanje.Samo jedna besmislena investicija u nerentabilan proje-
kat moe da ugrozi sistem javnih finansija koji smo proteklih godina
izgradili. Upravo su u tome nerealna oekivanja pojedinih drutvenih
grupa, koje misle da Grad treba da gradi i sportsku dvoranu, i fudbal-
ski stadion, i kolske i vrtike zgrade ili neku drugu infrastrukturu. Ja
sam spreman da ulaem novac samo kad projekat ima svoju ekonomsku
opravdanost i kad sam siguran da u budunosti nee stvarati gubitke

Given your rich professional political career, it seems that
you have held some important positions since you were a
student. What was your favorite position and to which you
would like to return?
One of my favorite positions is definitely the current one, as city mayor.
The other one is that one of Director of the General Hospital in Du-
brovnik. Every period of time has its charm and I have enjoyed in a cer-
tain way all the positions I have had, because I fully commit to my work.
I love new challenges, especially when they are successfully overcome
and results can be seen. I would not like to go back, because I only look
ahead in life.
What is harder, to be in the government as Minister of Health
or to lead Dubrovnik, one of the most attractive tourist des-
tinations in the region?
I would not say that it is a matter of difficulty at all, but of the responsi-
bility that must be assumed. Personally I have enjoyed both positions.
Are you satisfied with what you have accomplished during
your time in office?
Yes, I am satisfied because I have had very convincing results. When I
was a Minister, we launched many important changes in the Ministry
of Health, such as the computerization of the health care system. In
Dubrovnik we are operating with surplus, working on capital projects,
reducing unemployment, buying property instead of selling it, subsi-
dizing air and road transportation for our citizens up to the capital city
of Zagreb. In 2013 we reduced the surtax from 15 to 10 percent, and
every day we work on new measures and projects.
How hard is it to lead the city when the global economic
situation is bad?
It was difficult at first to repay debts and reduce the budget. However,
we identified those places where money was unnecessarily spent, and
two years later we began again to register growth in revenue and bud-
get. In doing so, we did not deprive our citizens, especially the most
vulnerable categories, of any of their rights. We just began to use our
resources, first of all our assets, in a smarter, more businesslike and
more responsible way. We turned the revenue side of the budget to-
wards tourists and those activities that are not affected by the crisis.
For that reason, we can say that by 2012 Dubrovnik was no longer in
recession. Moreover, we ended the budgets for 2012 and 2013 with
a surplus and I can say to the public that there have never been more
investments from the city treasury than in that period.
Are expectations regarding the city treasury sometimes
unrealistic?
I like to say that it is possible to fulfill every wish. Indeed, the City of
Dubrovnik is nowadays very stable from the financial point of view.
However, this does not mean that we should make populist invest-
ments that have no economic justification. One pointless investment
in an unprofitable project is enough to endanger the whole public fi-
nance system that we have built over the past years. That is why; the
expectations of certain groups are unrealistic, because they believe that
the city should build a sports hall, a football stadium, school and kin-
dergarten buildings and other infrastructure, but I am willing to invest

Koje mere preduzimate da biste zatitili najranjivije katego-
rije stanovnitva ?
Ve godinama donosimo niz mera za razliite ugroene grupe graa-
na, od mera socijalne zatite kao to su novana pomo penzionerima,
novana pomo licima sa invaliditetom, za podmirenje trokova sta-
novanja, stipendije za uenike i studente slabijeg socijalnog statusa,
hrana i besplatan javni prevoz za penzionere. Porodici pomaemo po-
klon-paketom za novoroeno dete, subvencionisanjem cene predkol-
skog obrazovanja. Sreni smo to Grad Dubrovnik posluje u suficitu i
zbog toga moemo da podrimo i poslovanje Ope bolnice Dubrovnik
koja je u nadlenosti drave. Pre nekoliko dana odvojili smo sredstva
za kupovinu najmodernijeg neurohirurkog i ORL mikroskopa, a za
ukupna ulaganja za Bolnicu planiramo da uloimo oko 20 miliona
kuna. Uz to, trenutno radimo na projektu Dubrovaka kartica, koja e
svim naim graanima omoguiti jeftiniji i kvalitetniji ivot jer e nu-
diti popuste na brojne sadraje, od vonje taksijem s popustom od 50
posto do kulturnih manifestacija po simbolinim cenama. Pored toga,
i poslovni subjekti su zainteresovani da se ukljue u ovaj projekat pa
e kartica omoguiti i trajne popuste u pojedinim trgovakim lancima,
frizerskim salonima i slino.
Da li ste zadovoljni radom gradskih slubi?
Uprava moe biti profesionalnija, efikasnija i bra. U nekim oblasti-
ma smo to ostvarili, pa imamo najefikasniju kancelariju za izdavanje
graevinskih dozvola u Hrvatskoj. U nekim sektorima to ipak nije
u potpunosti tako i to nije lako menjati, ali to su specifinosti javne
birokratije u celom svetu. Ipak, vano je da svi slubenici gradske
uprave znaju da su tu radi graana i preduzetnika i da uvek treba da
budu na usluzi.
Jeste li zadovoljni brojem investicija i na koje naine privu-
i nove ulagae, s obzirom da Dubrovnik turistiki grad?
Turizam je osnovna privredna grana Dubrovnika?
only when the project is economically justified and I am sure that it
will create no losses in the future.
What measures will you take in order to protect the most
vulnerable categories?
For years, we have been taken measures to protect different vulner-
able groups of citizens, including welfare measures such as financial
assistance, scholarships for students with a lower social status, food
and free public transportation for seniors citizens. We help families by
giving them a gift for each newborn baby and subsidizing the price of
preschool education. We are glad that the City of Dubrovnik operates
in surplus and therefore we are able to support the activities of the Du-
brovnik General Hospital, which is under the jurisdiction of the state.
Just a few days ago, we put aside funds for the purchase of the most
modern neurosurgical and ORL microscope. It has been planned to in-
vest in the hospital a total amount of approximately 20 million HRK.
Besides that, we are currently working on the Dubrovnik Card project,
which will enable our citizens to have a cheaper and better life, because
it will offer numerous discounts, from taxi rides with a discount of 50
percent up to cultural events for a symbolic price. Also the private busi-
ness sector is interested to participate in the project and that will make
possible to obtain permanent discounts in some chain stores, hair sa-
lons, and the like.
Are you satisfied with the work of city services?
The Administration can be more professional, more efficient and fast-
er. We have succeeded in some areas and we have the most efficient
office for the issuance of building permits in Croatia. That does not
apply to some sectors and it is not easy to change that, because it is
a specific characteristic of public bureaucracies all around the world.
However, it is important that all officials of the city administration
know that they are there because of citizens and entrepreneurs and
that they should always be at their service.
How satisfied are you with the number of investments, and
how will you attract new investors, taking into consider-
ation that Dubrovnik is a tourist town. Is tourism the main
industry of Dubrovnik?

 Doneli smo prostorni plan i uskoro e u Gradu Dubrovniku po-
eti realizacija UPU-a Bosanka II i UPU-a portsko-rekreacijski
park s golf igralitem i turistikim zonama Bosanka sjever i Bo-
sanka jug, nakon ega oekujemo nova zapoljavanja i angaman
lokalnih fabrika, kao i prihod od komunalnog doprinosa za Grad.
Otvoreni smo prema investitorima, maksimalno im izlazimo u su-
sret, a u poslednje vreme smo, po broju realizovanih projekata, bili
najvee gradilite na jugu Hrvatske. Naa kancelarija za izdavanje
graevinske dokumentacije je meu najefikasnijima u Hrvatskoj,
a najuspjenija je u Hrvatskoj u reavanju legalizacije bespravno
izgraenih objekata koja je u toku.

We adopted the spatial plan and the City of Dubrovnik will promptly
begin to implement the two General Urban Plans: Bosanka II and
The Sports and Recreation Park with a Golf Course and Tourist
Areas Bosanka North and Bosanka South, after which we expect
new employment opportunities and additional involvement of local
companies, as well as an increase in the income from communal con-
tributions to the City. We are open to investors and willing to provide
them maximal assistance. In the last time, we have been the largest
construction site in the south of Croatia according to the number of
implemented projects. Our administrative department in charge of
issuing construction permits is among the most efficient in Croatia. It
is certainly the most successful in Croatia in addressing the legaliza-
tion of illegally constructed buildings.

Koliko ima nezaposlenih u Dubrovniku ?
Zakljuno sa 28. februarom 2014. godine, stopa nezaposlenosti u Gra-
du Dubrovniku iznosila je 6,87 posto.
Na koji doprinos razvoju Dubrovnika ste posebno
ponosni?
Posebno sam ponosan na projekat Obrazovne vertikale, koji ukljuuje
MENSA NTC program u vrtiima, jednosmensku nastavu, programe
produenog boravka i asistenta u nastavi u osnovim kolama, stipen-
diranje i subvencionisanje kreditiranja visokog obrazovanja, kao i
podsticaje za zapoljavanje pripravnika. Projekat ukljuuje i posebni
program beskamatnog finansiranja u vrednosti do 50 hiljada dolara
za studiranje na jednom od sto najboljih svetskih univerziteta, ime
je zainteresovanim studentima omoguen povoljan pristup najboljem
obrazovanju na svetu uz osiguran odloeni povraaj glavnice kredita.
Ovaj program je uestvovao na izboru Urbane ideje u akciji: nagrai-
vanje kreativnih projekata, u organizaciji Financial Times-a i Citiban.
Program je u svojoj kategoriji uao meu pet najboljih nominovanih
projekata u celom svetu, a ujedno je bio i jedini finalista iz Evrope u
kategoriji obrazovanja. Projekat je prepoznat kao holistiki i efikasan
pristup obrazovanju ija se metodologija moe primenjivati irom sve-
ta, a cilj nam je da svaki pojedinac i svako dete ostvari maksimum svo-
jih potencijala, bez obzira na finansijsko stanje svoje porodice. Drugi
projekat na koji sam posebno ponosan su saobraajna reenja kojima
smo u poslednjih nekoliko godina saobraaj u Dubrovniku uinili efi-
kasnim, a gradske ulice ureenijima i skladnijima.
Da li Vam koriste iskustva drugih gradonaelnika u regionu
i da li su problemi koji mue grad slini ?
U naoj regiji relativno malo saraujemo sa susednim gradovima, ali
imamo intenzivniju saradnju sa gradovima na Mediteranu, lan smo
Hrvatske udruge povijesnih gradova, gde razmenjujemo iskustva o
ouvanju batine i pozitivnoj praksi. Takoe, saraujemo sa gradovima
iz razliitih delova sveta. Trenutno ih je jedanaest: Ravena, Vukovar,
Grac, Helsingborg, Raguza, Bad Homburg, Monterej, Sarajevo, Ri-
jej Malmezon, Venecija i Sanija. Veina gradova-prijatelja su gradovi
slinih karakteristika od kojih Grad Dubrovnik moe nauiti, primeniti
neke primere dobre prakse i razmeniti iskustva. Na primer, gradovi
Monterej i Sanija su manji turistiki primorski gradovi bogatog isku-
stva. S Vukovarom i Sarajevom Grad Dubrovnik deli ratnu prolost.
Odlinu kontinuiranu saradnju s Bad Homburgom dugujemo dobroti i
upornosti predsednice udruenja Kroatienhilfe Olgi Stoss.
Koji je Va omiljeni deo grada i gde provodite najvie vre-
mena? Koje mesto biste prvo pokazali gostima iz inostran-
stva i gde bi se oni, po Vaem miljenju, najbolje proveli?
To su, svakako, istorijska jezgra zgrada, zidine, Stradun, gradske ulice,
skalini i kafii, miris naeg Grada. Srednjovekovni grad u moderno
vreme.

Obaveza u kojoj se uiva / A duty to enjoy
How many people are unemployed in Dubrovnik?
As at February 28, 2014 the unemployment rate in the city of Du-
brovnik was 6.87 percent.
Are you particularly proud of some contribution to
the development of Dubrovnik?
I am especially proud of the project Education Verticals, which
includes the MENSA NTC program in kindergartens, single-shift
schooling, extended-stay schooling and teaching assistants in primary
schools, as well as scholarships, subsidized loans for higher education
and incentives for the employment of trainees. The project includes a
special interest-free financing program for up to 50 thousand dollars,
which will enable students to study at one of the worlds top one hun-
dred universities and have access to the best education in the world,
postponing the repayment of the loan principal.
This program took part in the competition Urban Ideas in Action:
Rewarding Inventive Projects organized by the Financial Times and
Citybank. The program is among the top five nominated projects of its
category in the world and it was the only finalist from Europe in the
category of education. The project has been recognized as an effective
and holistic approach to education that can be applied around the world
with the same methodology. Our goal is that every individual and ev-
ery child might reach maximum potential, regardless of the financial
status of the family. Another project that I am particularly proud of is
the solution that we have applied in the last years to traffic problems in
Dubrovnik. Thanks to our efforts the city traffic became more effective
and flowing, while the city streets are more orderly and harmonious.
Do you use the experience of other mayors of the region
and which are the problems that plague similar cities?
We do not have a large collaboration with neighboring cities of the
region, but we collaborate more intensively with Mediterranean cit-
ies. We are members of the Croatian Association of Historic Towns,
within which we exchange ideas about heritage conservation and good
practice. We have sister cities in different parts of the world. Currently
there are eleven: Ravenna, Vukovar, Graz, Helsingborg, Ragusa, Bad
Homburg, Monterey, Sarajevo, Rueil-Malmaison, Venice and Sanya.
Most sister cities have similar characteristics and Dubrovnik can learn
a lot from their experience, apply some of their best practices and
exchange experiences with them. For example, Monterey and Sanya
are less touristic coastal towns with rich experience. The city of Du-
brovnik shares wartime history with Vukovar and Sarajevo. The ex-
cellent and continuous cooperation with Bad Homburg is due to the
kindness and perseverance of Olga Stoss, President of the Kroatien-
hilfe Association.
What is your favorite part of the city where you spend most
of the time? Which is the first place you would show first to
foreign guests and where do you think that they can have
most fun?
Certainly the historical core, the walls, Stradun, the main streets, the
old stairs, the bars and the smell of our city. It is a medieval city in
modern times.

Moj lini i profesionalni cilj je prva transplatacija plua u Srbiji / My personal and professional goal is to carry out the first lung transplant in Serbia
Posle nekoliko meseci od najave ovog, u svakom smislu, veoma
sloenogz ahvata, i posete srpskih hirurga klinikama u Belgiji gde su
prisustvovali transplataciji, jo nije pronaen odgovarajui donor, to
je ponekad najkomplikovanije, budui da je u pitanju osetljiv organ,
moda i najosetljiviji.
elja mi je da se u Srbiji obavi bar etiri-pet takvih operacija koje
su prilino zahtevne, sa direktorima grudne i kardiohirurgije, i koor-
dinatorom za transplantacije, na klinikama u Belgiji u kojima je do
sada obavljeno 800 takvih zahvata, razgovarali smo o svim aspektima
presaivanja plua kako bismo napravili plan za izvoenje ovih zah-
vata u KCS.
Zato su liste ekanja na operacije duge po nekoliko mese-
ci, ponekad i godinu-dve?
Robovi smo zastarelih propisa donetih pre i 30-tak godina. Objek-
tivno, manjak postoji, jer se zapoljavanje medicinskog osoblja odvija
prema broju postelja u ovoj znaajnoj zdravstvenoj ustanovi. U ap-
surdnoj smo situaciji, jer je broj postelja, ukupno 3500 ostao isti, dok
je obim posla na nekim klinikama poveani do deset puta! Krajnje
je vreme da se promene, da se potreba za proirenjem obavlja prema
obimu posla, a ne prema posteljama koje su nerealan parametar, jer ne
moete oekivati da jedan broj ljudi obavi hiljadu operacija kojih je
ranije bilo stotinak. U poslednje vreme govori se o utedi na bazi re-
strikcije medicinskog osoblja, zbog toga ustanove zapoljavaju ljude
na osnovu sopstvenih prihoda, koji su jako ogranieni, a dobijamo ih
od osiguranika koji plaaju jer nisu osigurani. Sve je to suvie malo da
bi se finasirali svi trokovi, kao i plate, iako je KCS u maloj prednosti
jer leimo ljude iz drugih drava.Trenutno imamo dosta pacijenata iz
Crne gore i RepublikeSrpske i to su prihodi koji godinje iznose de-
setak miliona evra. Na osnovu toga moemo da zaposlimo kadar koji
nedostaje, ali opet propisi kau da broj ne moe da pree deset odsto
u odnosu na broj zaposlenih. Ako hoemo kvalitet i uvoenje novih
tehnologija, moramo da to obezbedimo makar putem broja ljudi,
Kako biste reili taj problem?
U granama gde postoje velike liste ekanja kao to su oftalmologija,
kardiohirurgija i ortopedija, ne moete da oekujete da ljudi rade
preko vremeno jer je umor vaan element u pruanju tih usluga. En-
tuzijazam mladih lekara nam omoguava da moemo da radimoi iznad
mogunosti, ali opet republiki zakon i nam ograniavaju i broj tih sati,
po propisima. Svaki dan smo u koliziji sa njima, toliko da ne udi to
je nedavno u Hrvatskoj hirurg napustio operaciju, jer mu se zavrila
smena. Ja tako nikad ne bih postupio, ali ne udi me njegova odluka,
jer takvi su evropski propisi, a Hrvatska je lanica. Ne moete nekog
naterati da radi prekovremeno, imate i entuzijaste koji provode dane i
noi na poslu, ali mora se nai neka mera da ti ljudi koji imaju kvalitet
u poslu budu adekvatno plaeni. Umesto da nagradite takvu osobu i da
je motiviete, doli smo do primene Zakona o solidarnom porezu, znai
umesto da ga stimuliete, kanjavate ga s procentom od 20 posto. To
opravdavam u smislu da je ogranieno i da ne traje godinama., e sad da
li je bilo drugih reenja je pitanje vlade koju smo mi graani izabrali..
Kako uspevate da ipak obezbedite deo potrebnog broja
ljudi?
U poslednje vreme se govori o utedi na bazi restrikcije medicinskog
osoblja. Zbog toga ustanove zapoljavaju ljude na osnovu sopstvenih
48 www.globe-magazine.com
This very complex procedure was announced a few months ago and
Serbian surgeons visited Belgian hospitals, where they attended
transplantations. However, no suitable donors have been found and
this is maybe the most complicated issue, because it is a highly
sensitive organ, perhaps the most sensitive one.
It is my wish to carry out in Serbia at least four or five such operations,
which are very demanding, together with the directors of thoracic and
cardiac surgery, as well as with the transplant coordinator. We have
been at Belgian hospitals, where 800 procedures of this kind have been
performed. There we talked about all aspects of lung transplantation, in
order to create a plan for carrying out these procedures in the KCS.
Why are the waiting lists so long, that people have to wait a few
months, sometimes a year or two before being operated?
We are slaves of outdated regulations adopted 30 years ago. Objectively,
we have a staff shortage, because the recruitment of medical staff is
carried out according to the number of beds at this important medical
institution. We are in an absurd situation, because the number of 3,500
beds remained the same, while the amount of work in some clinics
has increased up to ten times! It is time to make changes, to expand
according to the quantity of work and not according to the number of
beds, which is an unrealistic parameter, because we cannot expect that
the same number of people will carry out one thousand operations,
when they previously performed one hundred. Lately there have been
some talks about saving funds by reducing the medical staff and, for
that reason institutions employ people according to their income,
which is very limited. That income comes from people that pay,
because they have no insurance, but it is not sufficient to finance all
costs and wages. However, KCS has a slight advantage, because we
treat people from other countries. Currently, we have a lot of patients
from Montenegro and Republika Srpska, who contributed with about
ten thousand euros. This income allows us to employ the staff we lack,
but once again rules say that the number of such staff can not exceed
ten percent of the total number of employees. If we want quality and
the introduction of new technologies, we need to have at least the
suitable number of people.
How would you solve that problem?
In those sectors where there are huge waiting lists, such as
ophthalmology, cardiac surgery and orthopedics, you can not expect
people to work overtime because fatigue is an important element in the
provision of these services. The enthusiasm of young doctors allows
us to think that we can work beyond our possibilities, but once again
the national legislation limits the number of those hours, according to
regulations. Every day we are in conflict with those regulations. It is
not surprising that recently, a Croatian surgeon left surgery because
his shift was over. I would have never done that, but I am not surprised
by his decisions, because such are European regulations and Croatia
is a EU member. No one can force you to work overtime, but we
have enthusiasts who spend their days and nights at work. However,
we must take some measures to pay adequately these people, who
perform high-quality work. Instead of rewarding and motivating
those people, we apply the solidarity tax, which means that instead
of stimulating them, we punish them by taking 20% of their salary. I
justify this measure if it is temporary and it will not last years. Was
there any other solution? That is a matter of the government that we,
the citizens, elected.
prihoda, koji su jako ogranieni, a dobijamo ih od osiguranika koji
plaaju, jer nisu osigurani, to je suvie malo da bise sve finansiralo. U
maloj smo prednosti, jer leino ljude iz drugih drava, trenutno ima-
mo dosta pacijenata iz Crne Gore, Republike Srpske i to su prihodi
koji godinje iznose desetak miliona evra, i na osnovu toga moemo
da zaposlimo kadar koji nedostaje. Opet propisi kau da ne mogu
prei deset odsto u odnosu na broj zaposlenih to je malo, budui da
KC obavlja toliki obim posla da je to nerealno, ako hoemo kvalitet i
uvoenje novih tehnologija moramo da to obezbedimo makar putem
potrebnog broja ljudi... Za kvalitet morate imati dovoljan broj ljudi.
Kao u utakmici kada trener menja igrae ubacujui nove, tako i u
granama gde postoje liste ekanja, oftalmologija, kardiohirurgija i
ortopedija... ne moete oekivati da ljudi rade prekovremeno, jer je
umor vaan element u pruanju tih usluga. Entuzijazam mladih lekara
nam prua to to moemo da radimo iznad mogunosti, ali oni mogu
da rade kada ispotuju sta starijih lekara da budu prvi u operacionoj
sali, mladi ekaju svoj trenutak koji im se ukae kasno tokom dana
ili na deurstvima. Opet, republiki zakoni nam ograniavaju i broj
tih sati, jer ne moete da radite due od 40 sati meseno, to je stvar
fizike spremnosti pojedinaca, nekom nije problem da radi i vie od
60 asova, a neko neeli da radi prekovremeno i to je to.
S im se jo suoavate kao direktor Klinikog centra?
Svakodnevna pojava je postao i nepotizam, ovde esto rade itave
porodice. U redu je da i ta deca kolega imaju neka prava, al dajte da
potujemo sva prava podjednako, a ne zato to su mi mama i tata ovde
How do you still manage to provide, at least partially, the
required number of people?
Last time we talked about saving by reducing the medical staff. That
is why; health institutions employ people according to their income,
which is very limited. We obtain that income from people that pay,
because they are not insured, but such funds are too small to finance
everything. However, we have a slight advantage, because we treat
people from other countries. We currently have a lot of patients from
Montenegro and Republika Srpska, who provide funds amounting to
ten million EUR. That income allows us to employ the staff we lack.
Once again regulations say the number of those people cannot exceed
ten percent of the total number of employees, but that is not enough,
because KCS has such a volume of work that is unrealistic. If we want
quality and the introduction of new technologies we have to provide
at least the necessary number of staff. It is very simple, if we wish
quality, we must have enough people, just like in a football match,
when the coach makes changes by introducing new players. The same
happens in those sections, where there are long waiting lists, such as
ophthalmology, cardiac surgery and orthopedics. You can not expect
people to work overtime, because fatigue is an important element
in the provision of these services. The enthusiasm of young doctor
gives us the chance of working beyond our possibilities. They have
to respect the seniorship of older doctors, who have the first place in
the operating room and therefore, young doctors have to wait for their
chance later in the day or when they are on duty. Once again, national
legislation limits the number of these hours to forty per month. It is a

zaposleni treba da imam prednost da bih radio na nekom odeljenju.
To je toliko uzelo maha a situacija je apsurdna jer onda porordine
odnose prebacujete i na posao. Treba stati na put takvom ponaanju,
ne moete izbei pristrasnost prema detetu, jer omogueno mu je da
lake napreduje i doe do nekih vanih pozicija. Smatram da treba
zakonom regulisati izbegavanje takvih odnosa. Kada sam traio iz
kadrovske podatke da bih video koliko ljudi radi i lanova njihovih
uih porodica, naleteo sam na veliki otpor u sindikatima. Nisam
verovao da je takva reakcija bila mogua, bunili su se. Ovo je veliki
kolektiv ima oko osam hiljada zaposlenih, u redu bilo je sluajeva
da se ljudi prvo zaposle a onda se razviju ljubavi i brak, ali to su
sluajevi kojih je mnogo manje nego klasinog nepotizma. To sve vie
ugroava funkcionalnost Klinikog centra, jer ne moete da glumite
policajca i to sankcioniete u svakom trenutku, a sluajeva ima barem
nekoliko stotina i to nije normalno.
ta bi jo trebalo promeniti u cilju to boljeg funkcionisan-
ja Klinikog centra?
Iznenadio sam se to se veliki broj lanova sindikata nalazi u
rukovodeim strukturama. Naime, im dou do sindikalne funkci-
je naputaju svoja radna mesta zbog kojih su zaposleni. Recimo,
anestetiar prema normativima treba da radi 176 sati, po tim statutima
i propisima ne radi toliko ve 40 sati, a ostatak radnog vremena je
sindikalni funkcioner, sada zbog toga imamo manjak anesteziologa.
Kliniki centar je prinuen da plaa sindikalnu funkciju u vrednosti
plate generalnog za niu spremu, zbog toga svi osnivaju sindikate, jer
su automatski osloboeni rada na svom radnom mestu. Znai, trebalo
bi menjati sindikalne propise i da se bore da zaista zatite svoje rad-
nike, a ne da idu u drugu krajnost. Realno, kada sve sagledate vidite
da je sve to bez potrebe i u funkciji lakih zarada.
Ipak, budunost lei u mladim doktorima kako ste rekli?
Budunost Srbije je u mladim lekarima, iako im nije pruena mak-
simalna ansa da ue i napreduju. Veoma je vaan kontakt sa bitnim
medicinskim ustanovama u svetu, nije dovoljna samo edukacija u Sr-
biji.Taj kontakt treba proiriti na lekare koji su skoro zavrili speci-
jalizacije i treba ih uputiti i usmeriti, kontakt s centrima treba da bude
to razvijeniji. Tu su bitne i privatne veze, u rejtingu tih ustanova im
je vano da koluju i nekog ko nije iz njihove zemlje, tako sam ja
specijalizirao u Belgiji, to je pravi put. Stvorio sam neke kontakte s
medicinskim kuama i jedan broj lekara se tamo kolovao, a to se vidi

matter of physical fitness of individuals. Some have no problem to work
over 60 hours, while others do not want to work overtime.
What else do you have to face as director of the Clinical
Center?
Nepotism has become a daily phenomenon. You have entire families
working here. It is okay that the children of our colleagues should have
some rights, but let us respect the rights of everyone equally. People
should not have advantages to work at certain sector, because mom and
dad work there. It is so widespread that the situation is absurd, because
family relations are transferred to work. We must put an end to such
behavior. Of course, one cannot avoid being biased towards their own
child and therefore he/she has better chances to obtain an important
position. I think that such situations should be prevented by law. When
I asked the Staff Department to provide me with data, so that I could see
how often people work with their closest relatives, I found a very strong
resistance from the Labor Union. I never believed that such reaction
was possible, but they started a rebellion. We have a large number of
employees, about eight thousand, and it is normal that love relationships
may appear, which will eventually lead to marriage, but such cases are
much less frequent than classical nepotism. It is already affecting the
functionality of the Clinical Center, because one cannot pretend to be
a policeman and give fines to everyone and we have hundreds of such
cases, which is not normal.
What should change in order to ensure a better functioning
of the Clinical Center?
I was surprised when I saw that a large number of the Labor Union
members work in decision-making structures. In fact, as soon as they
get some high position in the Labor Union, they leave the workplaces,
for which they were employed. For example, according to our standards
an anesthesiologists should work 176 hours, but due to statutes and
regulations, he/she works just 40 hours and spends the rest of the time
working at the labor Union. The consequence is that we have a shortage
of anesthesiologists. The Clinical Center is forced to pay Labor Union
wages amounting to the salary of a junior general physician. That is
why; everyone is founding Labor Unions, because in this way they are
automatically exempt from working at their workplaces. That is, Labor
Union regulations must change, so that they could fight to protect the
workers, without going to the other extreme. In reality, when you take
everything in consideration, you realize that everything is unnecessary,
just for the sake of position and easy earnings.
However, the future lies in the young doctors?
The future of Serbia is in the hands of young doctors, although they
are not given maximum chances to learn and grow. It is very important
to keep contact with relevant medical institutions worldwide. It is not
enough to obtain an education in Serbia. That contact should be extended
to doctors that have almost finished their specialization, who should be
instructed and oriented. That is why; the contact with other centers should
be as wide as possible. Personal connections are important as well. For
the rating of those institutions, it is important that they train also people
who are not from their country. That is how I specialized in Belgium.
It think this is the right path. I established some contacts with medical
institutions and a certain number of doctors were trained there. That will
be seen, when they come back home and begin to apply their knowledge
in practice.

cioniranje Falkensteiner hotela u Srbiji?
Od samog poetka, odnosno otvaranja, Falkensteiner hotel Beograd
belei konstantan poslovni uspeh. Jedan od razloga za nae dobro pos-
lovanje je dobar odabir lokacije, jer se na hotel nalazi u srcu poslovne
zone Novog Beograda i ima odlinu povezanost sa aerodromom. U
njegovoj blizini su, osim brojnih poslovnih objekata i veliki trni

Falkensteiner hotel Belgrade belongs to the city hotels ca-
tegory. Are your guests mostly business people or doyou
have those who come for holidays?
One important goal of Falkensteiner Hotel Belgrade is to develop as a
leader in the area of corporate tourism in Serbia. Serbia is the fastest
growing congress destination in Europe, and it especially refers to
Belgrade. That is the reason why the highest percentage of our guest
structure is composed of business people.
How has your hotel positioned in serbia?
Falkensteiner Hotel Belgrade has placed very well in the hoteliers
market of Serbia and has become a significant destination for busi-
ness people and congress tourism. MICE tourist activities in the hotel
are increasing, which is evident by the fact that they have madeup
over 65% of the activities in the first quarter of this year, and that
many internationally recognized companies have chosen our hotel for
theorganization of various corporate activities: promotions, conferen-
ces, seminars and trainings. Belonging to the FalkensteinerGroup, our
hotel hasa good possibility of positioning in the Serbian market. In
relation to our competitors, Falkensteiner offers better choices and a
quality of servicethat make a mixture of international hospitality and
modern world trends. As a regional city, Belgrade needs this kind of a
hotel, especially now withthe increased trends of new investments.
In your opinion, what has the greatest impact on success
and good position of falkensteiner hotel in serbia?
Since the very beginning, the opening of Falkensteiner Hotel Belgrade
has recorded a constant business success. One of the reasons for our
good business is good location, as our hotel is placed in the heart of
the business zone of Novi Beograd and has an excellent connection to
the airport. Besides many business premises, it is located in the vici-
nity of many shopping malls. Altogether, that represents an advantage
for a business hotel. However, what stands out and what reflects in our
business the most is our service, or to be more precise, our employees.
They are the ones that make us distinctive and whose kindness and
personal attitude make our guests welcome and make them return.
Where do the majority of yours guests come from?
During 2013, FalkensteinerHotel Belgrade was occupied by approxi-
mately 90% foreigners, while the percentage increased to 95% in the
first quarter of this year. The majority of guests were from Croatia,
Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Italy and Great Britain.

ficulties in the last years, caused by the world economic
crisis, falkensteiner company in serbiahas maintained its
success and business progress
According to the first quarter business report for this year, Falkens-
teinerHotel Belgrade reached approximately 50% increase in the
number of overnight stays in comparison to the same period last year,
which is a great result, especially having in mind that our hotel has
been working for over a year now. We are very satisfied with bookings
for the summer and we expect a positive balance through the end of
the year.

EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
Creative Quill

ENVIRONMENT FOR GROWING HAPPY

Education is an inevitable part of contemporary life. It provides knowledge and perspective therefore all
segments of society recognize its need for a constant change, adjustment and upgrade. The school system,
as it is currently, may not have the best quality but there is a need for its change and harmonization with the
international standards. Help in this adaptation is also coming from private educational institutions which
largely apply global standards. One such institution is Creative Quill. Its Director Gorica Nedeljkovic applies
her knowledge acquired through studies abroad and says that the most important feature of this institution
which is also her vision, is the realization of her vision that a child can be enrolled in the Creative Quill
at age three and come out as an adult student, future intellectual and a citizen of the world.

ta je bio Va motiv da ponete da se bavite obrazovanjem i
kako se on pretvorio u potrebu da pokrenete privatnu kolu?
Moj motiv da se bavim vaspitanjem i obrazovanjem dece jeste velika
ljubav kao i moje ivotno i struno opredeljenje. Po struci sam psi-
holog i kao uenik sam prola razliite sisteme obrazovanja, kako na-
cionalnog tako i internacionalih sistema. Jedini nain da budem u pra-
vom kontaktu sa decom je bio da im omoguim ambijent za pravilno,
sigurno i sreno odrastanje. Upravo s toga sam odluila da osnujem i
otvorim privatnu ustanovu kao to je Kreativno pero.
Od prvog dana izlazimo u susret deijim potrebama
putem inkluzivnog obrazovanja (podrka deci kojoj je potrebna dodatna
pomo uenju), kao i osmiljenim radom sa talentovanim uenicima.
Kreativno pero obuhvata sve segmente obrazovanja-predkolsko,osno
vno,srednjokolsko. Koje su to njegove
Specifinosti u odnosu na sline ustanove ?
Vaspitno-obrazovni sistem Kreativno perou sebi sadri Predkolsku
ustanovu za decu uzrasta od tri do sedam godina, Osnovnu kolu za
uenike od sedam do petnaest godina, a od kolske 2014/15 godine i
Gimnaziju opteg tipa za mlade od petnaest do devetnaest godina. 2014.
godina je veoma znaajna, jer dobijanjem saglasnosti i akreditacije za
rad srednje kole OBRAZOVNA ZGRADA Kreativno pero dobila
je svoj KROV . Naa najvanija specifinost je ujedno i ostvarenje
vizije vlasnica da dete moe da udje u Kreativno pero sa tri godine, a
da izadje kao punoletan uenik, budui intelektualac i gradjanin sveta.
Ono to nas takodje ini posebnim je HOLISTIKI PRISTUP kako u
radu sa decom (uticanje na razvoj celovite linosti), tako i u realizaciji
vaspitno-obrazovnog rada koji obuhvata vaspitne i obrazovne ciljeve,
bilingvalnu nastavu, tematski pristup, povezanost nastave i ivota, nas-
tavnu metodologiju koja kod uenika razvija kritiko miljenje i utie
na sticanje trajnih i primenljivih znanja.
Nastava u Kreativnom peru je bilingvalna. Koje su njene
prednosti ?
U Kreativnom peru primenjuje se i dvojezina nastava nastavni
sadraji realizuju se na srpskom i engleskom jeziku. Ovaj projekat
proizaao je iz Razvojnog plana kole i doprinosi osposoblavanju
uenika za ivot u savremenom drutvu. Pored toga to usavravaju
svoje jezike kompetencije, uenici, na ovaj nain ovladavaju pojmo-
vima specifinim za odreeni nastavni predmet. Razvoj modela
dvojezine nastave omoguava im da sebe vide kao deo zajednice,
lokalne i globalne.
Kaete da se u Vaoj koli stimulie svaki segment deijeg
razvoja,ta to u znai u praksi ?
Ve je istaknuta specifinost u radu Kreativnog pera, a to je
HOLIZAM. On podrazumeva upravo ono to se sadri u Vaem pitan-

What was your motivation to become involved in education
and how it turned into a need to open up a private school?
My motivation to become engaged in upbringing and education of chil-
dren is a great love, above all, but also my lifetime and professional
commitment. I am a psychologist by profession and as a student I went
through different systems of education, both national and international.
The only way for me to be in real contact with the children was to
provide suitable environment for their proper, safe and happy growing
up. This is why I have decided to form and open up a private institution
such as the Creative Quill. From the first day we meet the needs of
our children through inclusive education (assistance to children who
need extra help in learning) and through specially designed program for
talents. The Creative Quill covers all levels of education- preschool,
primary, secondary education.
When compared to similar institutions what would be its
specific features?
Educational system Creative Quill includes preschool for children
aged three to seven, primary school for pupils aged seven to fifteen, and
from the school year 2014/15 we also have the general high school for
students between the age of fifteen and nineteen. 2014 is a very impor-
tant year for us, because after obtaining the approval and accreditation
for high school education, the building of educational center Creative
Quill also got its roof. One of our most important characteristic is also
the realization of the vision of the owner that a child may be enrolled
in the Creative Quill aged three and to come out of the school as
an adult student, future intellectual and a citizen of the world. What
also makes us special is a holistic approach to working with children
(influencing the development of the whole personality), and the realiza-
tion of educational work which includes educational and training goals,
bilingual classes, thematic approach, links between tuition and ordinary
life, teaching methodology that develop critical thinking in students and
influences the acquisition of permanent and practical knowledge.
Classes in Creative Quill are bilingual. What are its
advantages?
The Creative Quill also applies bilingual educational system - cur-
ricular activities are carried out in Serbian and English. This project
stemmed from the School Development Plan and enhances training
of students to face with life in contemporary society. In addition to im-
proved language competence, our students in this way also acquire
terms specific to a particular school subject. Development of the Bilin-
gual model in education allows them to see themselves as part of the
community, both local and global.
You say that every segment of child development has
been stimulated in your school, what does that mean in
practice?
I have already highlighted the specificity of the work in Creative
Quill, and thats the HOLISAM. It includes exactly all aspects cited in
your question, and that is a stimulation of all segments in child devel-
opment (intellectual, social, emotional, motivational, work habits...). In
a modern school, like ours, this is the only possible approach to work
with children. Essentially the focus is put on a child and his/her needs
in terms of development and gaining knowledge. In this segment, it

je podsticati decu u skladu sa uzrasnim i individualnim karakteris-
tikama i tako pokrenuti unutranju motivaciju koja je osnovni klju
ka sticanju funkcionalnih znanja. Kada je u pitanju rad sa decom treba
imati u vidu da nema sitnica u vaspitanju i da je vano na sve obratiti
panju, to se u Kreativnom peru i ini.
Prihvatili ste rad po Kembrid programu.
Kembrid program je najrasprostranjeniji internacionalni obrazovni
program koji se sprovodi u vie od 9000 kola u preko 160 zemala
sveta. Misija Kembrid obrazovnog sistema je da obezbedi visok
kvalitet obrazovanja irom sveta kroz odlino koncipirane programe
i ispite. VOS Kreativno pero sprovodi Kembrid program kao
fakultativni program u okviru projekta dvojezine nastave. Tokom
osnovnokolskog obrazovanja osnovu programa ine matematika,
engleski jezik i nauke, dok se u srednjoj koli program proiruje
uvoenjem novih predmeta. Sigurni smo da emo kao deo internacio-
nalnog Kembrid obrazovnog sistema dodatno ojaati naa
nastojanja da uenici Kreativnog pera postanu graani sveta.
Kakva je perspektiva Vaih djaka kada zavre kolu, da li
lake nastavljaju kolovanje u svetu ?
Kreativno pero postoji sedam godina sa orijentacijom da se poste-
peno i sukcesivno razvija, tako da ove godine u O zavrava prva
generacija maturanata. Nai uenici su do sada osvojili brojne na-
grade na smotrama i takmienjima. Takodje su postigli odline re-
zultate na ispitivanjima postignua iz svih predmeta koja radimo radi
osiguranja kvaliteta. Znaajan segment naeg rada je praenje i pod-
sticanje uenika kroz individualni pristup koji se sastoji pre svega u
psiholokim ispitivanjima i testiranjima za procenu potencijala. Ovo
je zapravo nauni i struni deo naeg rada koji nam omoguava da
se svaki uenik u pravom trenutku podstakne i usmeri prema svojim
sposobnostima, interesovanjima, sklonostima i talentima.
Svakako treba istai da, kao nacionalno-internacionalna kola

is important that the teaching staff is trained for a holistic approach
in working with children (elected by special criteria, oriented towards
contemporary work that put each student in a position to take an active
role and investigate, to solve tasks independently, learn through discov-
ery, think).We pay special attention to these aspects. It is important to
encourage children in accordance with their age and individual charac-
teristics and in such a way initiate the internal motivation as an essential
key to acquiring functional knowledge. When it comes to working with
children should bear in mind that there are no trifles in education and it
is important to pay attention to every detail, as we in Creative Quill
normally do.
You have accepted the work under the Cambridge program.
Cambridge program is the most widely used international educational
program that has been implemented in more than 9,000 schools in over
160 countries in the world. The mission of Cambridge educational sys-
tem is to provide high quality of education around the world through
well designed programs and exams. Educational system Creative
Quill implements Cambridge program as an optional program within
the framework of bilingual classes.
Primary education is based on a program consisted of mathematics,
English and science, while the high school program is expanded
by introducing new subjects. We are sure that, as a part
of the International Cambridge Education System, we are continuing
to strengthen our efforts for children at Creative Quill to become citi-
zens of the world.
What are their prospects when they leave school? Is it easi-
er for them to continue their education abroad?
Creative Quill exists seven years with a tendency to gradual and suc-
cessive development, so this year in primary school we will have the
first generation of graduates. Our students have so far won numerous
awards at festivals and competitions. We have also achieved excellent
results in tests of achievement in all subjects, just to ensure the qual-
ity. An important segment of our work is monitoring and encourag-
ing students through individual approach which consists primarily of
psychological tests and tests for the assessment of their potential. This
is actually a scientific and technical part of our work that allows us, at
the right time, to instruct and inspire each student according to his/her
abilities, interests, aptitudes and talents.
It should be noted that, as a national and international school (Serbian-
English) and bilingual school that optionally applies Cambridge
program for which we are accredited by Cambridge Center, from the
very beginning the Creative Quill prepares children for a high-quality
inclusion in each succeeding level of education.
How do parents and students assess the work of Creative
Quill?
The parents of our students highly evaluate the work of Creative
Quill. Each year we check their opinions and reviews about our work
and we get excellent reviews that range from 4.5-4.9. They gladly rec-
ommend us to others to enroll their children in our nursery school. They
are very interested in our work and they are actively involved in the
Association of parents that organize many charitable, cultural, sports
and recreational activities.

Ono to se desilo 21.januara u Briselu je najvaniji deo. Ova meuvla-
dina konferencija jeste prvi i najbitniji stepen i element u pregovori-
ma.Ono to je dobro jeste da postoji veliko poverenje u na tim.
Pregovori su otpoeli i prvo se radi takozvani skrining ?
U prvoj godini radi se skrining ili na srpskom analitiki pregled svih
poglavlja kako bi zakonodavstvo i sve tekovine graanskog drutva
i vladavine prava uskladili sa svim bitnim elementima koji odavno
postoje u EU. Da bi se oni najvaniji postulati postojanja jednog
graanskog drutva u sferi prava, ekonomije, institucija, uskladili sa
evropskim standardima.
Koja poglavlja e biti prvo otvorena?
To su poglavlja 23 i 24 koja se odnose na pravosue, ljudska prava,
slobode, bezbednost, borbu protiv korupcije i ona e biti otvorena to-
kom celog procesa pregovora. Na taj nain EU eli da pomogne Srbiji
da najbitnije institucije graanskog drutva ustanovi na jedan odrivi
nain, da od njih napravi tekovinu koja e nastaviti da funkcionie.
Institucije vladavine prava i vladavine zakona su osnov svega.
U meuvremenu pojavio se jo jedan nepisani uslov a to je
da se otkrije politika pozadina ubistva premijera Zorana
inia.
To je dobro jer pomae da Srbija to istija udje u EU, to Evropa eli
a dobro je za nas. Drave koje iz razliitih razloga nisu primenile ono
to su potpisale lanstvom vrlo brzo nailaze nazavrtanje ruku kada
su u pitanju propusti u vladavini prava. Setimo se samo sluaja Per-
kovi i bure koje je podigla prvobitna odluka da on ne bude izruen
Nemakoj.
ta e jo biti tee za Srbiju u odnosu na druge zemlje koje
su u u skorije vreme postale lanice EU ?
Srbiji e biti otean proces ali e vie i dobiti.Bie tee ali istije i
po mom miljenju to je najvea tekovina pregovora. EU ne eli da
ponovi greke koje su je skupo kotale a koje je napravila ulaskom
Bugarske i Rumunije i nereavanjem problema kiparske teritorije pre
njegovog ulaska u Uniju. To e sve biti sublimirano na nau tetu i
bie deo integralnog paketa pregovora. Pregovore e dodatno oteati
i poglavlje 35, o Kosovu na koje mi ne utiemo a koje e zavisiti od
toga kako e se lanice izjasniti po tom pitanju. Sva ostala poglavlja
su vrlo tehniko-administrativnog karaktera.Tu e na tim i volja dr-
ave biti na ispitu i taj deo prie u potpunosti kontroliemo mi. Imaju-
i u vidu trenutnu podrku EU, mislim da je poetak vie nego dobar.
U poslednje vreme esto ujemo pretnje komija da e
zbog odredjenih problema usporiti evropski put Srbije. Ko-
liko su one realne?
To moe da se desi ukoliko postoje neka otvorena pitanja meu dra-
vama ali veina tih pretnji slui za dnevnopolitiku upotrebu. Slove-
nija je, recimo, blokirala Hrvatsku zbog dela obale i Nove ljubljanske
banke to je ovu zemlju usporilo u pregovorima za godinu i po dana.
Uspostavljanje institucija vladavine prava i zakona dobro
je i za druge segmente,recimo za ekonomiju.

Events that took place on 21 of January in Brussels are the most impor-
tant part. This Intergovernmental Conference is the first and the most
important level and element in the negotiations. The good thing is that
there is a great confidence in our team.
Negotiations have begun and a so-called screening is on
the way?
In the first year the screening will be done, or in Serbian an analyti-
cal overview of all chapters in order to harmonize legislation and all
the achievements of a civil society and the rule of law, with all the
essential elements that have long existed in the EU. With the aim to
harmonize the most important postulates of a civil society in the field
of law, economics, institutions, with the European standards.
What chapters will be opened first?
The chapters 23 and 24 pertaining to justice, human rights, freedom,
security, the fight against corruption will be kept opened during the en-
tire process of negotiations. In such a way the EU wants to help Serbia
to establish the most important institutions of a civil society in a sus-
tainable way, to make the achievement that will continue to function.
The institutions of the rule of law are the basis of everything.
In the meantime another unwritten condition appeared and
that is to discover the political background lying behind the
murder of the late Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic.
Thats good because it helps Serbia to enter the EU as a healthier coun-
try, which is the feature that Europe wants and it is also good for us.
The states that have not applied for various reasons the things that they
signed when becoming EU members quickly faced the arm-twisting
when it comes to failures in the field of the rule of law. Let us recall the
Perkovic case and a turmoil raised due to the original decision denying
his extradition to Germany.
What will be even more difficult for Serbia as compared to
other countries that have recently become EU members?
Serbias process will be more difficult, but on the other hand it will
get more. It will be difficult but it will be clearer at the end and in my
opinion this is the greatest achievement of the negotiations. The EU
does not want to repeat the costly mistakes that has made in relation to
the Bulgarias and Romanias accession and for not solving problems
concerning Cypriot territory prior to its entry into the Union. All will
be sublimated to our detriment, and it will be an integral part of the
package of negotiations.
Also, the Chapter 35 on Kosovo that is beyond our control, will make
further negotiations even more difficult and it will depend on how the
members will declare on this issue. All other chapters are very techni-
cal and of administrative nature. In this respect the willingness of our
country and our team will be put on test, and that part of the story is
completely under our control. Given the current EU support, I think
that the start is more than good.
Lately we often hear the threats from our neighbors that they
will slow Serbias EU course due to the certain problems.
How real these threats are?

Srbiji e biti otean proces

ali istije i po mom miljenju
to je najvea tekovina

ponovi greke koje su je
skupo kotale a koje je
napravila ulaskom Bugarske
i Rumunije i nereavanjem

pre njegovog ulaska u Uniju
Ispunjavanjem kriterijuma u zatvaranju poglavlja mi praktino pro-
irujemo manevarski prostor za investitore i to je jako dobra stvar.
Od samih predpristupnih fondova nama i dalje sledi 200 miliona evra
godinje ali ispunjavanjem tih kriterijuma mi otvaramo vei broj polja
koja bi bila interesantna za potencijalne investitore.
Koliko smo odluni da istrajemo u pregovorima i zaista
uinimo sve da jednog dana postanemo lanica EU ?
eleo bih da se ovakva vrsta politike pragmatinosti odri tokom
celih pregovora. Ona nije bila karakteristika srpske politike elite po-
slednjih decenija. Sada ona postoji a odravanje trenda te pragmati-
nosti jeste odravanje trenda dobrog vodjenja pregovora sa EU. Ono
to je takodje bitno jeste da ljudi koji vode proces imaju stalnu podr-
ku i kompetentnost kao to to u ovom trenutku ima Tanja Mievi.
ta se deava kada se zatvore sva poglavlja?
Po zatvaranju svih poglavlja Savet Evrope daje preporuku o nacrtu
sporazuma o pristupanju a Evropska komisija izvetava lanice da su
sva poglavlja zatvorena i sa kakvim rezultatima i daje preporuku o
pristupanju EU. Zatim, sve zemlje na Savetu donose odluke i onda
sledi najbitniji deo-potpisivanje ugovora o pristupanju koji treba da
ratifikuje svaka lanica pojedinano.
Rekli ste da veina stvari zavisi od nas ali tu su i problemi
na koje mi ne moemo da utiemo.
Ono to ja vidim kao problem jeste ekonomska situacija u EU, naro-
ito za etiri, pet godina kada bi Srbija trebalo da pristupi Uniji. Sve
zavisi kakve e biti njene realne mogunosti i kako e ona uopte
izgledati za nekoliko godina a na to Srbija nema nikakav uticaj.

Srbija na dobrom putu / Serbia on a good track
Serbias process will be more
difficult, but on the other hand it will
get more. It will be difficult but it
will be clearer at the end and in my
opinion this is the greatest
achievement of the negotiations.
The EU does not want to repeat the
costly mistakes that has made in
relation to the Bulgarias and Roma-
nias accession and for not solving
problems concerning Cypriot terri-
tory prior to its entry into the Union
It may happen if there are some outstanding issues between the states,
but most of those threats are used for daily political struggle. Slovenia,
for example, blocked Croatia because one part of the coast and Nova
Ljubljanska Bank, in such a way slowing the negotiations with this
country for a year and a half.
The establishment of institutions of the rule of law is good
for other segments, like the economy.
By meeting the criteria of the closing chapters we effectively expand
the room for maneuver for investors and thats a very good thing. From
the EU pre-accession funds we will get 200 million Euros annually but
by meeting those criteria we open a larger number of fields that would
be interesting to potential investors.
How much we are determined to persevere in negotiations
and to do in order to become an EU member one day?
I would like that we keep this kind of political pragmatism during the
entire negotiations. And that was not characteristic of Serbian political
elite in recent decades. Now it exists and keeping this pragmatism is
to maintain the trend of good conduct in the negotiations with the EU.
What is also important is that the people running the process have an
ongoing support and competence as Tanja Miscevic at this moment.
What happens when all chapters are closed?
Following the closure of all chapters, the Council of Europe gives a
recommendation on the draft agreement on the accession and the Eu-
ropean Commission will report to the members that all chapters are
closed and on the results achieved, and gives a recommendation on EU
accession. Then, all the countries in the Council decide and then fol-
lows the most important part -the signing of the Treaty of Accession,
which must be ratified by each member individually.
You said that most of the things depend on us but there are
problems that we cannot control.
What I perceive as a problem is the economic situation within the EU,
especially in four or five years when Serbia should join the EU. It all
depends on what will be the real possibilities of the EU and how it
will look in general in several years but Serbia has no influence in this
regard.

Ukoliko patite od sranih oboljenja, imate visok pritisak, bezvoljni ste i stalno umorni, eto reenja,
najbolje je da dva puta dnevno i to samo po 12 minuta sluate omiljenu muziku. I to nije sve. Njen
blagotvoran uticaj oseaete jo 24 sata posle toga. Kad se pacijent navikne na odreenu muziku, ona treba da
se promeni. S druge strane, muzika moe da utie i na prestanak rada sranog miia, to se dogodilo na jednom
koncertu u Nemakoj, kada je posle koncerta hevi metal muzike, u sali pronaeno nekoliko mrtvih mladih ljudi!

The beneficial influence of Mozart and Bach

Music can cure, but also kill
n his award-winning study, Assistant Professor PredragMitrovi PhD, cardiologist at the Belgrade Emergency

I Center claims that listening to the appropriate music contributes to a faster recovery of people, who have
suffered a heart attack. If you suffer from a heart disease, high blood pressure, apathy and constant tiresome,
this may be the solution. Listen to your favorite music twice a day for only 12 minutes. And that is not all.
You will feel the beneficial effect of music 24 hours later. Once the patient gets used to the music, it must be
changed. On the other hand, music may influence the occurrence of cardiac arrest, as it happened at a concert in
Germany, when several young men were found dead after a concert of heavy metal music.

Kada su ih obdukovali, mislei da su umr-
li zbog predoziranosti narkoticima i alko-
holom, utvreno je da su bili zdravi, ali
da su ritam i snaga muzike, jer su bili su
na mestu blizu zvunika, izazvali da srce
treperi i stane. Da je neko na vreme pri-
metio i imao defibrilator, moda bi ostali
ivi, kae ovaj ugledni strunjak.

Kako ste doli na ideju da upotrebi-

te muziku kao terapiju?

Pre desetak godina, u kardiologiji je po-

stala moderna zabrana svega to spada u
domen zdravog ivota. Ideja o lekovitosti
muzike rodila se iz sledeeg razmiljanja:
alkohol je opasan ali jedna aa crnog vina
smanjuje masnou u krvi, okolada goji i
stvara eer ali je dokazano da crna oko-
lada jeste delotvorna, zdravo je jesti svega
sedam badema dnevno, peaiti a ne trati
i tako redom esto sami primetimo da
nekad menjamo radio stanice ili CD-ove i
nita nam ne prija kada biste u tim trenu-
cima izmerili pritisak, videli biste da je povien ili ubrzan srani rad.
Razmiljao sam da li onda moemo da kontroliemo sve to. Zapravo,
da li muzika moe imati efekat leka da deluje, bez obzira ta mislite
o tome. Muzika nikad nije klasifikovana po vrsti, ritmu, frekvenciji ili
tonalitetu. Ne prija svima muzika istog tonaliteta i ritma. Na primer,
bolesnici koji imaju eernu bolest ne mogu da uju visoke tonove
zbog promena na nervnim zavrecima. Njima treba putati muziku
niskih tonova.
Vae tvrdnje potvrene su i u studiji koja je proglaena za
najbolju na Meunarodnom kongresu kardiologa 2009. u
Barseloni, a pohvaljena je i 2011. na Svetskom kongresu
kardiologa u Pekingu. Radili ste na uzorku od vie od 700
pacijenata?
U mom istraivanju uestvovale su dve grupe od po 370 osoba koje su
doivele infarkt i primale istu medikamentnu terapiju. Pacijentima iz
jedne grupe putana je njihova omiljena muzika, dok drugima nije. Za
kompozicije koje imaju uticaj na pacijenta sa tano odreenim simp-
tomima, nisu bili vani ni izvoa, ni zvuk ili glas, koliko su bitni
vani tempo, tonalitet i anr.
ta ste prvo uoili?
Primetio sam da nekima od njih muzika koju sam im putao nije prija-
la, rastao im je pritisak, to po parametrima nije moglo da se dogodi.
Kad sam ih pitao zato su tu muziku naveli kao omiljenu, rekli su mi
da je zapravo ne vole, ali da ih je bilo sramota da priznaju koju vrstu
muzike sluaju. Napravio sam kompilaciju od devet raznih anrova
i proverio kako reaguju onima koji bi uli svoju omiljenu muziku,
irile su se zenice. Najee su sluali pop i narodnu muziku, a ak of over 700 patients, which was declared the best at the
treina pacijenata je sluala komercijalni dez i klasinu muziku. S
druge strane, starija generacija, koja najee doivljava infarkte, voli
domau zabavnu, lager muziku.
Autopsies were carried out under the suspicion that the young men died
of overdose of drugs and alcohol, but it was established that they were
perfectly healthy. What happened is that the young men were near the
speakers and the rhythm and power of the sound caused their hearts
to vibrate and stop. If someone had noticed it on time and if there had
been a defibrillator at hand, they might have survived - the eminent
expert said.
How did you come up with the idea to use music as
therapy?
About ten years ago, it became fashionable in cardiology that you
cannot use anything that belongs to the field of healthy life. The idea that
music can heal was born out of the following thoughts: On the one hand
alcohol is dangerous, but on the other hand, a glass of red wine reduces
the fat in the blood; chocolate causes obesity and generates sugar, but
it has been proven that dark chocolate with lots of cocoa is beneficial.
It is healthy to eat seven almonds per day but not more than that; it is
healthy to walk but not to run etc. We often notice an unpleasant feeling
when we change the radio station or the CD. When we measure the
blood pressure, we realize that it is higher and that the heart works at
a higher rate. I thought that if we could control all that and use it as a
cure, it would actually have the effect of drug, no matter what you think
about it. Music has never been classified by type, rhythm, frequency
and tonality. Music with the same tonality and rhythm does not have
the same effect on everyone. For example, patients with diabetes cannot
hear high tones due to changes in the nerve endings. They need to listen
to music with bass tones.
Your claims have been confirmed in a study containing data
International Congress of Cardiology of 2009 in Barcelona
and praised in 2011 at the World Congress of Cardiology in
Beijing. Is that true?

Koja vrsta muzike je prijala veini pacijenata?
Klasika, ipak, najvie me je zaudila odlina reakcija na Mocarta i
Baha onih koji su se izjasnili da vie vole folk muziku. Ukoliko muzi-
ka deluje, ona oslobaa hormone zadovoljstva i onda pritisak pada. Ti
hormoni se izluuju u organizam i tako oputaju srce koje se odmara,
nije u gru. Kada je tempo u pitanju, najvei broj svetskih hitova je u
ritmu otkucaja srca. Kada je paran broj onda je dobro, ali ne valja ako
se sudara s vibracijama Vaeg tela. Kada naete kompoziciju koja je
optimalna u odnosu na Vau bolest, reagujete kao to ivotinje reaguju

s tekstom, jer one bude druge emocije i onda ne moemo da govorimo

My research involved two groups of 370 people
who suffered a heart attack and received the same
drug therapy. Patients of one group listened to their
favorite music, while the others did not. In the case
of compositions that have effect on patients with the
clearly defined symptoms, factors such as performer,
sound and voice were meaningless, but the tonality
and genre were of upmost importance.
What did you notice first?
I noticed that when some of the subjects did not like the
music, their pressure increased in spite of the existing
parameters. When I asked them why they preferred a
certain kind of music, they said that they did not like
it and that they were ashamed to admit that they listen
to that. I made a compilation of nine different genres
to check how they react. Those who listened to their
favorite music had their pupils dilated. Most often
they listened to pop and folk music, while a third of
the patients listened to commercial jazz and classical
music. On the other hand, the older generation, which
usually is the most affected by heart attack, likes home
entertainment music and hits.
Which music had the best effect on most patients?
Classical music. However, I was most surprised by the excellent
response, which those that preferred folk music had to Mozart and
Bach. If music has effect, it releases satisfaction hormones, and
then the pressure falls. These hormones are secreted in the body,
relaxing the heart and preventing cramps. Regarding rhythm, most
worldwide hits are in the rhythm of the heartbeat. When the number
is even then it is ok, but when the waves collide with the vibration
of our body, then it is not good. When you find a composition that is
optimal for your illness, you react in the same way as animals react
to the sounds of nature. Of course, we must avoid hits and songs with
words, because they may provoke other emotions and then we cannot
talk any longer about the effect of music.

Gradski centar za socijalni rad u Beogradu, u dananjem obliku, osno-
vala je Skuptina Beograda jo 1991. godine. On je kljuni faktor so-
cijalne zatite graana, jedinstvena institucija za obavljanje socijalne
i porodino-pravne zatite graana i najvei centar za socijalni rad
u Srbiji. Na osnovni zadatak je da pruamo pomo i podrku svim
ugroenim graanima. Osetljivost prirode ovog posla zahteva visok
stepen profesionalne odgovornosti, potovanje standarda rada i zako-
nitosti, o emu vode rauna Ministarstvo rada, zapoljavanja i socijal-
ne politike i Sekretarijat za socijalnu zatitu grada Beograda. Na rad
stalno vrednuju nai korisnici i najira javnost.
Iako Centar, pre svega, pomae ugroenim kategorijama
stanovnitva, svaki graanin Beograda moe da se nae u
situaciji kada mu je potrebna neka od usluga?
Centru su od strane drave povereni poslovi ustanovljeni Zakonom o
socijalnoj zatiti, Porodinim zakonom, kao i drugim srodnim zako-
nima i zakonskim normama. Lokalna samouprava poverila nam je da
radimo na ostvarivanju prava naih graana i pruanju usluga u skladu
sa Odlukom o pravima i uslugama socijalne zatite.
Kojim kategorijama stanovnitva je posveena aktivnost
Centra?
Porodica uiva zatitu drutva, a unutar porodice posebna panja se
obraa na zatitu njenih najmlaih i najstarijih lanova. Deca ine go-
tovo treinu od ukupnog broja lica koja se nalaze na naoj evidenciji.
Iako ve godinama unazad beleimo pad nataliteta, broj dece kojima je
potrebna naa pomo je u porastu. Meu njima, deca bez roditeljskog
staranja su najugroenija, zatim rtve zlostavljanja i grubog zanemari-
vanja, deca iz porodica sa poremeenim odnosima, sa poremeajima
u ponaanju, sa posebnim potrebama... Najbrojniju grupu dece ine
siromana deca. U velikom broju su zastupljena i deca iji se rodite-
lji spore oko naina vrenja roditeljskog prava. Ovaj podatak oslikava
stanje u drutvu, poto je istraivanjima utvreno da su krizna vremena
praena poveanim brojem razvoda i sve brojnijim vanbranim zajed-
nicama. Prema Porodinom zakonu, prilikom brakorazvodnih sporova
koji se vode pred sudom, naa obaveza je da sudu dostavimo nalaz i
miljenje o tome ta je u najboljem interesu maloletnog deteta. Znaa-
jan deo naih aktivnosti se odnosi na primenu starateljske zatite dece
i odraslih. Starateljstvo je jedan od najsloenijih oblika strunog rada.
Pod starateljstvo se stavljaju deca bez roditeljskog staranja ili punolet-
na lica koja su liena poslovne sposobnosti. Drava nam je poverila i
obavljanje poslova smetaja osoba u hraniteljsku porodicu ili instituciju
u situacijama u kojima je detetu ili odrasloj osobi potrebno obezbediti
osnovne uslove za ivot. Moemo se pohvaliti da je znatno vei broj
dece smeten u hraniteljskim porodicama nego u institucijama. Poseban
napredak u zatiti dece je zabrana smetanja dece uzrasta do tri godine u
institucije. Naa uloga u zatiti dece i nemonih je od kljunog znaaja
kad su u pitanju neodlone intervencije, odnosno kada su im ugroeni
ivot i zdravlje. U tim situacijama imamo ovlaenja da ih, u skladu sa
procenom, zatitimo po hitnom postupku i bez odluke suda.
Rekli ste da nai najmlai sugraani pripadaju najugro-
enijem delu stanovnitva. Va zadatak nije samo da ih
trenutno zatitite od problema, ve i da pronaete trajnije
reenje za njihov ivot.

When was the Center founded and what are its main objec-
tives?
In its present form, the City Center for Social Work of Belgrade was
founded by the Assembly of Belgrade in 1991. It is the main social wel-
fare center, the only institution that ensures social and family-legal pro-
tection for citizens and the largest social work center in Serbia. Our main
task is to provide assistance and support to all vulnerable citizens. The
sensitive nature of this work requires a high degree of professional re-
sponsibility, as well as respect for labor standards and the laws, which are
enforced by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the Secretariat
for Social Welfare of Belgrade . Our work is constantly evaluated by our
beneficiaries and the general public.
Although the Center primarily helps vulnerable groups, any
citizen of Belgrade may find himself in the situation of need-
ing assistance?
The State has entrusted to the Center different affairs defined by the Law
on Social Protection, the Family Law and other related laws and legal
norms. The Local Self-Government entrusted to us activities related to
the realization of the rights of our citizens and the provision of services
in accordance with the Decision on Rights and Social Services.
To which population groups has the Center devoted its ac-
tivities?
The family enjoys the protection of society and within the family special
attention is paid to the protection of its youngest and oldest members.
Children make up nearly one-third of the total number of persons who
are in our records. Although the birth rate has dropped for several years,
the number of children who need our help has increased. Among them,
the orphans are the most vulnerable, then the victims of child abuse and
severe neglect, children from families with troubled relationships and
behavioral disorders, children with special needs etc. The largest group
are poor children. There is a large number of children whose parents are
in dispute over the way to exercise the parental rights. This information
reflects the state of society. Researches have shown that times of crisis
are followed by an increased number of divorces and an increasing num-
ber of common-law marriages. According to the Family Law, whenever
divorce proceedings are brought to court, we must present our findings
and opinion regarding the best interest of the child. A significant part of
our activities is related to the use of foster care for children and adults.
Guardianship is one of the most complex types of professional work.
Children without parental care and adults deprived of legal capacity are
put under guardianship. The state has entrusted to us the task of placing
people in foster homes or institutions, whenever a child or adult must be
provided with basic living conditions. We are proud that a significantly
larger number of children is being placed in foster homes rather than in
institutions. A particular progress in the protection of children is the pro-
hibition to place children under the age of three in institutions. Our role in
the protection of children and the disabled is crucial in case of immediate
intervention, i.e. when their lives and health are endangered. In such situ-
ations we have been empowered to protect them by urgent procedure and
without court order, in accordance with our assessment.
You said that our youngest citizens are the most vulnerable.
Your task is not only to protect them from problems but to
find a more permanent solution.
Prema Porodinom zakonu, usvojenje je, takoe, povereno organu
starateljstva. Istakla bih da smo u proloj godini zaustavili trend opa-
danja usvojenja koji je bio aktuelan poslednjih godina. Prepoznajui
potrebu za podrkom porodicama sa decom, Gradski centar je, od sep-
tembra 2013. godine, uz podrku UNICEF-a, Fondacije Novak oko-
vi i Hemofarma, poeo sa realizacijom pilotiranja usluge porodini
saradnik iji je cilj odrastanje dece u svojim biolokim porodicama
ili njihovo vraanje u bioloke porodice ukoliko su bila izdvojena,
primenom preventivnih mera zatite od zlostavljanja i zanemarivanja
dece, ali i jaanjem kapaciteta Centra kroz razvoj novih usluga na-
menjenih ouvanju porodice. Takoe, organizovali smo i malu kolu
roditeljstva. Preduzeli smo korake ka uvrivanju koordinatorske
uloge u lokalnoj zajednici sa ciljem da ojaamo zatitu dece od zlo-
stavljanja i zanemarivanja.
Kada priamo o deci, Centar pomae i maloletnicima koji
su se, zbog razliitih ivotnih okolnosti, nali na pogre-
nom putu.
Poslednjih decenija, u porastu je broj dece koja su u riziku od sukoba
sa zakonom kao i broj maloletnih uinilaca krivinih dela. Posebno
brine podatak da su krivina dela maloletnika sve tea. Sa ciljem da
se menja drutveno okruenje, da se mladima pomogne u prevazila-
enju problema u kojima su se nali, da se stvore uslovi za promenu
njihovog ponaanja i za vraanje u drutveno prihvatljive okvire, Cen-
tar intenzivno radi na uvrivanju veza sa tuilatvom, sudovima, framework, the Center intensively works on strengthening its ties with
sistemom prosvete i obrazovanja, zdravstvom, korporativno odgovor-
nim sektorom, nevladinim i drugim institucijama drutva, kako bismo
to pre poeli sa primenom izuzetno znaajnog Zakona o maloletnim
uiniocima krivinih dela i krivinopravnoj zatiti maloletnika. U
praksi, to znai da maloletni prestupnici, koji su spremni da prihvate
odgovornost za poinjeno delo, mogu, po odluci tuilatva ili suda, da
budu upueni na realizaciju nekog od vaspitnih naloga (izvinjenje,
drutveno korisni rad, redovno pohaanje kole ili redovni odlazak na
posao, rad u humanitarnim organizacijama, na poslovima socijalnog,
lokalnog ili ekolokog sadraja). Cilj je da se obustavi ili izbegne po-
kretanje sudskog postupka za laka krivina dela i da se mladi vrate
drutveno prihvatljivim oblicima ponaanja. Obezbeivanje podsti-
caja za primenu pomenutog Zakona u delu u kojem nadlenost ima
According to the Family Law, also adoption was entrusted the guardian-
ship authority. I would emphasize that last year we stopped the down-
ward trend of adoption, which occurred in the last few years. In recogni-
tion of the need to support families with children, the City Center began
to implement the pilot program Family Collaborator from September
2013 with the support of UNICEF, the Novak okovi Foundation
and Hemofarm. The purpose of that program is to ensure that children
grow with their biological families or to return to them if they were sepa-
rated, by applying preventive measures to protect children from abuse
and neglect, as well as to strengthen the capacity of the center through
the development of new services for the preservation of the family. We
have also organized a small parenting school. We have taken steps to-
wards strengthening the coordinating role of the community in order to
strengthen the protection of children from abuse and neglect.
When we talk about children, we should point out that help
is delivered also to minors that were on the wrong track due
to living conditions.
In recent decades, there has been an increase in the number of children
who are at risk of conflict with the law, as well as in the number of ju-
venile offenders. What is particularly worrying is that the offenses are
more and more serious. In order to modify the social environment, to
help young people overcome their problems, to create the conditions
for chainging their behavior and return them to a socially acceptable
the Prosecutors Office, Courts, the Education System, health institu-
tions, the responsible corporate sector, non-government organizations
and other social institutions, so that we could apply as soon as possible
the exceptionally important Law on Juvenile Criminal Offenders and
Criminal Protection of Juveniles. In practice, this means that in case that
the juvenile offenders are willing to accept responsibility for the offenses
they committed, the Prosecutors Office or the Court may apply some
corrective measures (apology, community service, school attendance,
regular work activities or work in charitable organizations in the field
of social, local or environmental affairs etc.). The aim is to stop or avoid
legal action for minor offenses and return young people to socially ac-
ceptable forms of behavior. Providing incentives for the implementation
of the aforementioned Law to the extent of the jurisdiction of a social

sistem socijalne zatite, jedan je od reformskih projekata koji se sprovo-
di u Republici Srbiji, a u kojem Gradski centar ima posebnu ulogu.
S druge strane, Srbija se nalazi meu pet zemalja sa naj-
starijim stanovnitvom u Evropi. Da li je pomo i podrka
odraslim i starijim osobama, pre svega osobama sa ozbilj-
nim zdravstvenim i psihikim tekoama, siromanima i
rtvama nasilja u porodici, izazov za strunjake Centra?
Njihova zatita i sigurnost su na prvom mestu. Skuptina Grada Beo-
grada i odgovorni za voenje socijalne politike u Gradu, posebno na
resorni Sekretarijat, prepoznali su potrebe najstarijih Beograana, pa
je, sa ciljem da se njihov ivot uini sadrajnijim, ispunjenijim i do-
stojanstvenijim, u proteklih nekoliko godina otvoren vei broj dnev-
nih boravaka, klubova za odrasle i starije sugraane.
Pomo obezbeujete i egzistencijalno ugroenim sugraa-
nima i onima koji predstavljaju potencijalno ugroeni sloj
stanovnitva.
Beograd kao metropola privlai mnoge koji u svojim mestima ne
mogu da ree egzistencijalna pitanja. Mnogi se doseljavaju sa veli-
kim oekivanjima, bez sredstava za ivot. Oni koji ve dugo ive u
Beogradu, a koji su u nekom trenutku, svojom ili tuom krivicom ili
zbog bolesti ili nekog drugog razloga, ostali bez sredstava za ivot,
javljaju se nama za hleb, obuu, odeu, lekove, kao i za finansijska
sredstva kojima bi izmirili neplaene raune za struju, kupili ogrev
ili kolski pribor za decu. U 2013. godini, sredstvima Republike
ili Grada, pomogli smo preko 22.000 sugraana (8.729 porodica).
Samo u odnosu na prethodnu godinu, broj porodica koje nisu mogle
samostalno da obezbede ni osnovne uslove za ivot, poveao se za
hiljadu. Ekonomska kriza, dalje siromaenje, rast nezaposlenosti i
neaktivnost u traenju posla prave sve vei pritisak na budet koji se
stvara, pre svega, iz sredstava koja obezbeuju poreski obveznici tj.
oni koji rade.
Kakva je socijalna slika Beograana? Koje su optine naj-
ugroenije?
Kad govorimo o socijalnoj slici Beograda, na nivou optina, ona je
vrlo neujednaena. Tako je, na primer, najvea prosena zarada 2013.
godine bila u optini Stari grad, a najnia u Mladenovcu, najvei po-
rast zaposlenosti zabeleen je u Surinu i Novom Beogradu, dok je
najvei pad broja zaposlenih zabeleen u optinama Vodovac, Stari
grad i Mladenovac. Struktrura i broj osoba koje nam se obraaju za
pomo oslikava i prati deavanja u lokalnoj zajednici. Najvei broj
lica obratio nam se za pomo u optinama Palilula, Zemun, ukarica i
Zvezdara, to je, delimino, rezultat doseljavanja stanovnitva iz nehi-
gijenskih naselja, a delimino i zbog toga to ove optine imaju urbani
i ruralni deo. Pored toga, injenica je da u ovim optinama nema ili su
prestala sa radom preduzea i fabrike koje su bile nosioci socijalne i
finansijske sigurnosti njihovih itelja. Kriza koja je pogodila ceo svet
naroito se oslikava u broju ljudi koji svakodnevno ostaju bez posla,
kao i u broju onih koji nemaju redovne prihode. Na osnovu zvaninih
statistikih istraivanja, u Beogradu je zaposleno oko 550.000 lica,
a registrovano je oko 107.000 nezaposlenih. Na nivou celog grada,
promene su dovele do kontinuiranog poveanja broja osoba kojima je
potrebna naa pomo i podrka, a to je gotovo sto hiljada ljudi.

security system is one of the reform projects implemented in Serbia in
which the City Center has a special role.
On the other hand, Serbia is among the five countries with
the oldest populations in Europe. How necessary is it to
help and support adults and older people, especially people
with serious medical and mental disabilities, the poor and
victims of domestic violence, the challenge for your exper-
tise? Is that a challenge for your experts?
Their protection and security are in the first place. The Assembly of
the City of Belgrade, the organizations in charge of the social policy or
our city and especially this Secretariat have recognized the necessities
of senior Belgradians and opened day care centers, as well as clubs for
adults and old people in the last years several years, in order to make
their lives more meaningful, fulfilled and dignifying.
You ensure help to potentially vulnerable fellow citizens i.e.
to those who are becoming vulnerable.
As a metropolis, Belgrade attracts many people from places, where they
can not solve their existential issues. Many settle with great expectations,
but no means of living. In addition to those that have been residents of
Belgrade for long, we also deal with people who remained without means
of living, due to their own or someone elses fault, because of illness or
whatever other reason. After a short time, these people come to us and ask
for bread, shoes, clothes, medicines or money to pay the electricity bill,
firewood or school supplies for their children. In 2013 we used state or
city funds to help other 22,000 citizens (8,729 families). In comparison to
the previous year, the number of families that are not able to provide basic
living conditions for themselves increased by one thousand. The econom-
ic crisis, the further impoverishment, the increase of unemployment, and
the inactivity of certain part of the citizens when it comes to finding a job
have led to an increasing pressure on the budget, which predominantly
comes from the contributions of taxpayers, i.e. of those who work.
What is the social picture of Belgrade? Which are the most
vulnerable municipalities?
When we talk about the social picture of Belgrade, at level of munici-
palities, we should say that it is very uneven. For example, the high-
est average salaries in 2013 were in the Old Town, and the lowest in
Mladenovac, the largest increase in the employment rate was recorded
in Surin and New Belgrade, while the largest decrease in the number
of employees took place in the municipalities of Vodovac, Old Town
and Mladenovac. The structure and number of people who turn to us
for help reflect the events in the local community. The largest number of
people that turned to us for assistance come from the municipalities of
Palilula, Zemun, ukarica and Zvezdara, which is partly the result of the
migration of people from slum settlements, partly because these munici-
palities are divided in an urban part and a rural part. However, the fact is
that the factories that once were carriers of social and financial welfare
have ceased to work or exist. The crisis that hit the world is particularly
reflected in the number of people who lose their jobs every day, as well
as in the number of people that have no regular income. According to
the official statistical surveys, there are registered 550,000 employed and
107,000 unemployed people in Belgrade. At city level, changes have led
to a continuous increase in the number of people who need our help and
support. Nowadays they represent about one hundred thousand people.

U nadlenost Centra spadaju i narodne kuhinje. Koliko je
korisnika narodnih kuhinja na teritoriji Beograda i da li je
snabdevanje uredno ?
Ljudi zadueni za socijalnu politiku Beograda, u ovom trenutku Pri-
vremeni organ Grada na elu sa Siniom Malim, kao i Sekretarijat za
socijalnu zatitu sa Nenadom Matiem na elu, ine sve da u gradu
niko ne ostane gladan. Svakog radnog dana, preko 14.500 ljudi dobije
topli obrok. U vreme vikenda i praznika, obezbeen im je paket za

Kakvi su Vai rezultati? Da li ste zadovoljni stanjem u usta-
novama za smetaj dece bez roditelja i odraslih lica i ta bi
trebalo uraditi da situacija bude bolja ?
Gradski centar radi na ostvarivanju vie od 70 raznih prava, usluga i
postupaka iz oblasti socijalne i porodino-pravne zatite. Radimo inten-
zivno na naem institucionalnom razvoju, transformisali smo rad Cen-
tra u skladu sa novim modelom voenja sluaja, kreiramo i razvijamo
nove modele i pristupe u reavanju odreenih problema, o emu govori
i injenica da smo lider u regionu po stepenu razvijenosti porodinog
smetaja. Danas smo u situaciji da, na primer, kada dete mora biti izme-
teno iz porodice, moemo da mu obezbedimo smetaj u hraniteljskoj
porodici, a ne u ustanovi. Takoe, znaajno je i to to Grad Beograd ra-
zvija, a mi realizujemo, usluge koje podravaju samostalan ivot naih
sugraana kao to su pomo u kui, stanovanje uz podrku za mlade bez
roditeljskog staranja i za osobe sa invaliditetom. Za beskunike i sve
one koji se nau u situaciji da nemaju ni nuni smetaj, na raspolaganju
je Prihvatilite za odrasle. U ovom trenutku, smetajne mogunosti Pri-
hvatilita nisu dovoljne, ali se radi na njihovom poveanju koje e biti
obezbeeno adaptacijom i dogradnjom postojeeg objekta. U najveem
broju sluajeva, Centar brine o smetanju dece i starih.
Posebnost Centra je i u tome to korisnicima, osim trenut-
ne pomoi nudi i, kada za to postoje mogunosti, trajnija
reenja?
Zahvaljujui meunarodnoj zajednici, spremnosti Grada Beograda i
ueu nevladinog sektora, obezbeeno je 60 stanova za uslugu sta-
novanja u zatienim uslovima, namenjenu izbeglim i raseljenim lici-
ma. Od 2009. godine do danas, vie od 500 socijalno najugroenijih
porodica ili pojedinaca dobilo je stanove. Sa ciljem da podstakne po-
veanje nataliteta u Beogradu, roditeljima trojki, etvorki, estorki i
duplih blizanaca, svake godine Grad obezbeuje dodatnu materijalnu
podrku. Od pre tri godine, rtve nasilja u porodici, takoe, dobijaju
znaajnu materijalnu podrku do trenutka dok se ne zaposle, a najdue
godinu dana. Za beskunike i sve one koji se nau u situaciji da ne-
maju ni nuni smetaj, na raspolaganju je Prihvatilite za odrasle. U
ovom trenutku, smetajne mogunosti Prihvatilita nisu dovoljne, ali
se radi na njihovom poveanju koje e biti obezbeeno adaptacijom i

Soup kitchens are one of the responsibilities of the Center.
How many people attend soup kitchens in the territory of
Belgrade? Are soup kitchens properly supplied?
The people in charge of Social Policy in Belgrade, currently the Tem-
porary Authority of the City headed by Sinia Mali, as well as the Sec-
retariat for Social Protection headed by Nenad Mati, do whatever is
possible so that no one will be hungry in this city. Every working day,
over 14,500 people eat a warm meal, while in weekends they receive
a lunch bag containing bread, canned meat or fish, fruit or cake and
a juice. The largest number of people that come to soup kitchens are
citizens. It is discouraging to see that the number of people who turn to
us for this type of assistance is growing.
What are your results? Are you satisfied with the situa-
tion in institutions that provide accommodation to children
without parents and adults? What should be done to im-
prove the situation?
The City Center works on the realization of more than 70 different
rights, services and procedures in the field of social and family legal
protection. We are working intensively on our institutional develop-
ment, transforming the work of the Center in accordance with the new
model of case management. We create and develop new models and
approaches in order to solve certain problems. That can be seen in the
fact that we are regional leaders by the level of development of family
accommodation. For example, when a child must be removed from
his family, we can provide accommodation with a foster family, rather
than in an institution. It is also important that the City of Belgrade
develops services that support the independent living of our citizens,
such as home care, supported housing for young people without paren-
tal care and people with disabilities. The homeless and all those who
find themselves in the situation of not having accommodation may turn
to the Shelter for Adults. At this point, the accommodation possibilities
of the Shelter are not sufficient, but we are working on its expansion,
by adapting and extending the existing facilities. In most cases, the
Center takes care of accommodating both, children and the elderly.
The specificity of the Center is that, in addition to regular
aid, it offers more permanent solutions to its beneficiaries,
whenever it is possible. Is that true?
Thanks to the international community, the readiness of the City of Bel-
grade and the participation of the non-governmental sector, we have
been able to provide 60 apartments for refugees and displaced persons,
so that they could live in protected conditions. Since 2009 until today
over 500 socially vulnerable families or individuals have received hous-
ing. In order to encourage the increase of the birth rate in the City, the
parents of twins, as well as the parents of three, four, five or six children,
receive additional financial support. In the last three years, also domestic
violence victims receive significant financial support until they are em-
ployed, up to a maximum of one year. The homeless and all those who
find themselves in the situation of not having accommodation may turn
to the Shelter for Adults. At this moment, the accommodation capacity
of the Shelter is not sufficient, but we are working on its expansion, by
extending and adapting the existing facilities. In most cases, the center
offers shelter to both, children and the elderly.

Mnogo se radi, ali uvek moe bolje. Usluge koje se realizuju u okviru
Centra zahtevaju kontinuirano usavravanje i praenje zakonskih pro-
pisa, koji predstavljaju osnov naeg rada. S tim u vezi, ulaemo napore
da naim strunjacima obezbedimo uslove za stalno osveavanje zna-
nja, usavravanje vetina i dodatno obrazovanje, kako bi bili sposob-
ni da, to bre, lake i kompetentnije, pomognu svakom sugraaninu
da rei svoj problem. Proteklih godinu dana smo, u okviru ustanove,
osmislili i organizovali obuke za nae strune radnike, da bismo, u
ovim tekim vremenima, maksimalno iskoristili sopstvene resurse.
Ne smemo zaboraviti da je Centar institucija u kojoj je akumulirano
i koncentrisano ogromno znanje i iskustvo strunih radnika. Oko 300
socijalnih radnika, pedagoga i psihologa zavrili su razne obuke po
akreditovanim programima. Aktivno uestvujemo na strunim skupo-
vima, a i sami stvaramo uslove da se na, okruglim stolovima, tribi-
nama, konferencijama, sretnemo sa strunjacima iz drugih ustanova i
institucija socijalne zatite, nevladinim sektorom, kolegama iz Srbije
i iz inostranstva. Od ove godine, u sistem socijalne zatite uveden je i
sistem licenciranja strunih radnika i prualaca usluga, to e dovesti
do poveanja kvaliteta pruenih usluga i to predstavlja jo jedan pod-
strek da i dalje nastavimo u tom pravcu.
U radu Vam pomau studenti Fakulteta politikih nauka i
Fakulteta za specijalnu edukaciju.
U naim odeljenjima oni stiu dragocenu praksu, a u skladu sa proto-
kolima o saradnji, zaposleni su stekli brojne mogunosti da besplatno
aktivno uestvuju na strunim skupovima i znaajnim konferencijama
koje ovi fakulteti organizuju. Kad god smo u prilici, ugostimo i kolege
na studijskim putovanjima ili u formalnim posetama naoj zemlji. Da
bismo mogli uspeno da odgovorimo na sve zahteve i potrebe kori-
snika, neophodno je da imamo i dovoljan broj zaposlenih. Mada je
broj zaposlenih strunjaka i dalje nedovoljan, zahvalni smo Skuptini
grada Beograda koja je 2012. godine, uprkos potrebi potovanja Za-
kona o smanjenju broja zaposlenih u lokalnoj samoupravi, uvidela
neophodnost poveanja broja strunih radnika u naem Centru i omo-
guila da se za ove potrebe angauje 17 visokostrunih radnika.
U Centru rade socijalni radnici, pravnici, psiholozi, sociolozi...

prestupnik nae svoje mesto u drutvu i pronae uzrok svog ponaanja,
da inkluzija bude primenjena u punoj meri, da oni koji oekuju nau

Ne zaboravljamo da je ovek centar nae panje. Naa misija i obaveza

How difficult is it to help those in need, in times of economic
crisis and global lack of money?
We work a lot, but it is possible always to do better. Services performed
by the Center require continuous training and monitoring of the legis-
lation, which is the basis of our work. In this regard, we make efforts
to provide our professionals with the conditions to continuously refresh
their knowledge and improve their skills. Continuous education allows
them to assist our fellow citizens as quickly and efficiently as possible, so
that they might obtain the solutions, which motivated them to come to the
Center. Over the past years, our institution has conceived and organized
trainings for our professional staff, so that we could maximally use our
resources in these difficult times. We should not forget that the Center is
an institution that has accumulated the vast knowledge and experience
of our professionals. About 300 social workers, educators, psychologists
have completed a large variety of accredited training programs. We ac-
tively participate in professional conferences and create the conditions to
participate in round tables, forums and conferences, in order to meet ex-
perts from other institutions, social welfare institutions and NGOs from
Serbia, and sometimes from abroad. From this year, the social security
system has introduced a licensing system for professionals and service
providers, which will lead to an increase in the quality of services, en-
couraging us to move on in that direction.
Students from the Faculty of Political Sciences and the
Faculty of Special Education help you in your work. Tell us
about that.
These students gain a valuable practice in our departments. On the other
hand, according to the Cooperation Protocol, our employees have the
chance of participating, free of charge, in professional meetings and
major conferences organized by these faculties. We frequently host col-
leagues during research trips and visits to our country. In order to respond
to all the needs and requirements in a satisfactory way, we need to have
a sufficient number of employees. We still do not have enough experts.
However, we are grateful to the City Hall, which understood the neces-
sity to increase the number of experts in our Center and made possible to
employ 17 highly-skilled experts, in spite of the Law on the Decrease of
the Number of Employees in the Local Administration.
The Center has social workers, lawyers, psychologists, so-
ciologists etc. Can you comment on that?
We currently have around 570 employees, most of them highly educated
women, with many years of experience. Such a demanding job may really
consume anyones strength, but the fact is that, in some situations, experi-
ence helps to overcome the lack of staff. We are proud that a generation
shift took has taken place in the last two-three years, i.e. we have more
colleagues that are on maternity leave. We hope that in the coming years
there will be more, because we are facing a more pronounced generation
shift. Our employees and their expertise is our real capital. We cooperate
with all institutions at national and local level, i.e. schools, health care in-
stitutions, shelters for children and adults, courts, prosecutors offices and
non-governmental organizations, in order to help every child and to en-
sure that every juvenile offender will find his place in the society, that the
causes of his behavior will be determined, that his inclusion will be fully
implemented and that those that expect help will certainly receive it.
Let us not forget that people are in the center of our attention. Our mis-
sion and commitment is to work with the people to improve their life
and solve the problems that they can not overcome by themselves.

ivna zemlja o kojoj malo toga znamo. Alir je primer srene ljubavi evropskog i arapskog

D naslea, sa mestima koja oivljavaju feniansku i vizantijsku istoriju. Smeten meu peanu
Saharu, zelene ravnice i mediteransku obalu, Alir se trudi da svojim lepotama privue

THE NEW DYNAMICS AFTER FIVE DECADES
beautiful country we know so little about. Algeria is an example of a happy love of European

A and Arabian heritage, with places that revive Phoenician and Byzantine history. Placed
between the sandy Sahara, green plains and the Mediterranean coast, Algeria tries to attract
tourists with its beauties. Hospitable, sophisticated Algerians will explain how Yugoslavians
were their great friends, but will also tell you that this kind of closeness is common for the new
generations in Serbia and Algeria. The Globe magazine discusses relations between the two countries,
the dinar (Algerian and Serbian currency) and many other interconnecting issues with
H.E. Abdelkadare MESDOUA, Ambassador of Peoples Democratic Republic of Algeria.

ta je najvanije u graenju odnosa meu dravama?
Poverenje i ravnopravan tretman su vani elementi u meunarodnim
odnosima. Naravno, takoe su povezani sa drugim elementima. Prvo
i najvanije, uzajamna podrka u pogledu pitanja od nacionalnog inte-
resa, odnosno odbrane interesa i istorijska pozadina. Ovo veoma esto
jaa bilateralne odnose i odnose na meunarodnom nivou.
Iz Vaeg iskustva, koliko su graani Srbije upoznati sa tradi-
cionalnom kulturom i istorijom Alira?
Dugi niz godina nije bilo kulturne razmene izmeu Alira i Srbije zbog
procesa tranzicije u nae dve zemlje tokom devedesetih. Neu da sakri-
vam da, kada je odlueno da se prvi Dani alirske kulture odre u Srbiji,
u junu 2013. godine, malo sam se plaio kako e srpska javnost prihva-
titi kulturne aktivnosti koje smo ukljuili u program. Meutim, alirski
Nacionalni balet, tradicionalna muzika grupa El Djenadia i moderna
muzika grupa Cameleon su prihvaeni u Beogradu, Vrcu i Novom
Pazaru sa takvim entuzijazmom da su svi moji strahovi iezli. Takoe,
izloba Dnevni ivot u Aliru odrana u Etnografskom muzeju i
izloba alirskih knjiga u Narodnoj biblioteci, naile su na veoma do-
bru reakciju. U januaru 2013. organizovali smo retrospektivu alirskog

What is the most important thing when building bridges in
international relations?
Trust and equal treatment are important elements in international rela-
tions. Of coursethey are related to other elements as well. First and
foremost, mutual support on issues of national interest, i.e. the defense
of interests and historical background. This very often strengthens bi-
lateral relations and relations at the international level.
In your opinion, how familiarized are Serbian citizens with
the traditional culture and history of Algeria?
For many years there were no cultural exchanges between Algeria
and Serbia due tothe transition process in our two countries during the
nineties. I will not hide that, when it was decided that the first Days of
the Algerian Culturewould be held in Serbia in June 2013, I was a bit
afraid about how the Serbian public would receive the cultural activi-
ties that we had included in the program. But the Algerian National
Ballet, the traditional music ensemble El Djenadia and the modern
music group Camlon were received in Belgrade, Vrac and Novi
Pazar with such an enthusiasm that all my anxieties vanished. Also the

filma i tom prilikom sam se uverio da graani Srbije poznaju istoriju
i kulturu moje zemlje.
ta biste preporuili iz turistike ponude Alira?
Alir ima ogroman turistiki potencijal. Moe da ponudi turistike
aranmane za letovanja na obali mora, zimovanja na planinama i ture
u pustinji. Ima obalu dugu 1600 km, kao i Saharu, koja je jedinstvena.
Nastojaemo da pokaemo veliki potencijal koji Alir ima u ovoj
oblasti, a nadamo se da e nai prijatelji iz Srbije otkriti nae ogromne
turistike resurse.
Koja je glavna razlika izmeu evropske kulture i onoga
to Vaa zemlja nudi, a to bi ohrabrilo graane Srbije da
otkriju?
Neto to e svako ko je bio u Aliru potvrditi - Pored otkrivanja
boanskih pejzaa, maginih mesta i potpuno netaknute prirode, pose-
tioci e u Aliru uivati i u iskrenom gostoprimstvu, velikodunosti
i prijateljstvu. Takoe e otkriti veliku kulinarsku raznolikost,
ukljuujui kuskus, ukusne urme Deglet Nour i savrene kolae.
Nova dinamika posle pet decenija / The new dynamics after five decades
exposition Daily Life in Algiers held at the Ethnographic Museum
and the exhibition of Algerian books at the National Library,found a
very positive response.In January 2013, we organized a retrospective
of the Algerian film and on that occasion I had the chance of witness-
ing that Serbian citizens are familiar with the history and culture of
my country.
What would you recommend, regarding the tourism offer
of Algeria?
Algeria has a huge tourism potential. It can offertourist packages for
summer vacations at the seaside, winter vacations in the mountainsand
desert tours.It has over 1600 km of shores, as well as the Sahara,which
is unique.My countrywill participate for the first time in the upcoming
Belgrade Tourism Fair There we will try to show the great potential
that Algeria has in this area and we hope that our friends from Serbia
will discover our vast tourism resources.
What is the main difference between European culture and
what your country has to offer and what might encourage
Serbian citizens to discover it?
81
Nova dinamika posle pet decenija / The new dynamics after five decades
Na ta ste se najtee navikli ivei ovde? That is something thateveryone who has been in Algeria will confirm.
Volim Srbiju i gajim iskreno prijateljstvo i divljenje prema njenim lju-
dima. Osim otre i veoma hladne klime, sve je lako dostupno i gde god
da idete, ljudi su podjednako jednostavni i gostoljubivi.
Koliko ste promenili svoj utisak o Srbiji?
Jugoslavija je obeleila nae detinjstvo i nau mladost. Pokojni Pred-
sednik je bio veliki prijatelj Alira i njegova podrka, kao i podrka
Jugoslavije, bili su od neprocenjive vrednosti u naoj borbi protiv kolo-
nijalizma. Jasno je, dakle, da je za mnoge od nas bilo teko da prihva-
timo raspad Jugoslavije i ratove koji su potom usledili. Slika koja je
stvorena ovim dogaajima je bila izuzetno negativna. Srbija je danas
veoma cenjen i tolerantan partner, otvoren prema celom svetu. Bio sam
svedok ogromnog i neverovatnog napretka koji je Srbija postigla otkad
sam doao.
Po Vaem miljenju, ime ljudi u Srbiji mogu da se pohvale?
Veliko srce, velikodunost i gostoprimstvo. To e uvek biti, za mene i
moju porodicu, vrednosti koje se ne zaboravljaju. Gde god da odem,
poneu sa sobom nezaboravne uspomene koje e uvek ostati urezane
u mom seanju. Takoe, preuzeu prijatno zaduenje promovisanja Sr-
bije svuda, jer je zemlja mojih prijatelja i druga domovina zauvek.

Besides discovering divine scenery, magical places and a completely-
untouched nature, visitors will also enjoy true hospitality,generosity and
friendship in Algeria. They will also discover a great culinary diversity,
including couscous, deliciousDeglet Nour dates and perfect cakes.
What was the hardest to get used to when you came to Serbia?
I love Serbia and cherish sincere friendship and admiration for its people.
Except for the harsh and very cold climate, everything is easily accessible
and wherever you go, people are equally simple and hospitable.
How much have you changed your image of Serbia since you
live here?
Yugoslavia markedour childhood and our youth.The late President was a
great friendof Algeria and his support, as well as the support of Yugosla-
via, were invaluable in our fight against colonialism.It is clear therefore
that for many of us it was hard to accept the break-up of Yugoslavia and
the warsthat followed.The image created by these events was extremely
negative. Serbia is nowadays a very appreciated and tolerant partner open
to the entire world. I have been witness of the enormous and amazing
progress that Serbia has made since I came.
In your opinion, what can people living in Serbia boast of?
A great heart, generosity and hospitality. That will always be, for me and
my family, values that cannot be forgotten. Wherever I go, I will take with
me unforgettable memories that will always remain etched in my memory. I
will also assume the pleasant duty of promoting Serbia everywhere, because
it is the country of my friends and a second homeland forever.

A DOCTOR WITH THE GENES OF A JOURNALIST
is Excellency H.E. Dr Toufic Jaber greeted us in his residence in good spirits and ready to

H share with our readers his colourful life story. Accompanied by his wife Aber, with traditional
lebanese dishes and perfect white wine, he spoke of history, a tradition which is a result of
a turbulent past and a synergy of numerous peoples, religions and cultures. He spoke of the
cooperation of his country with the host country, the tourist potential of a Mediterranean paradise from
which he was separated by the paths a diplomat takes...his story is filled with historical facts but it also
possesses a reporting kind of spirit which took us a little by surprise until we learned he comes from a
family of journalists. He likes Serbia, he says, because the people are so very hospitable. Thats where he
sees the similarities with his own country, Lebanon. And not just that. He sees diplomacy as a challenge,
and he also believes that what makes a good diplomat is being in the loop about world events and the
readiness to listen, analyze and give advice. He is especially glad that we commemorate 60 years of
Serbia and Lebanons diplomatic liaisons. The main mission is to keep that bond strong, represent the
tourist treasures of his own land, and show Serbia in a favourable light to Lebanese investors.

MESSELMANI JABER
Kako je izgledao va put ka diplomatiji? I ta ini diplomatu
uspenim u njegovoj karijeri?
Moj put ka diplomatiji je bogat i raznovrstan. Najbolji opis mog
ivota u slubi u inostranstvu jesu njegovi izazovi, opasnosti, za-
dovoljstva i radost sve to sam ikada iskusio. To ini izvrsnu sliku
ivota u inostranstvu i kod kue, ukljuujui kako dobre, tako i loe home, including both its good and bad aspects, and does a brilliant
aspekte, i odlino pokazuje na koji se nain naa diplomatija mora
menjati ako eli da izae u susret silnim promenama i izazovima
dvadeset i prvog veka.
Da bi bio uspean, za diplomatu je bitno da bude u toku sa tekuim
dogaajima svuda u svetu. Takoe treba da ume da slua, analizira,
reava probleme i ui kako da primeni ove vetine u stranoj kulturi,
promovie meunarodnu trgovinu, ui o privredi dotine zemlje,
poslovnoj praksi, bogatstvu kulture i bankarskom sistemu. Takoe je
za diplomatu da naui ophoenje i obiaje u zemlji domainu i bude
ljubazan, taktian i strpljiv.
Koji su vai utisci o Srbiji?
Srbija je divna zemlja. Od kada sam kroio u Srbiju pruena mi je
samo ljubaznost od strane ljudi Srbije. Vrlo brzo sam se prilagodio i
osetio prijatno. Srbija ima sjajnu hranu, izuzetne ljude, veliku kulturu
i istoriju i divljenja vrednu istu prirodu. Uivao sam u etnjama po
brojnim parkovima. Priroda Srbije me podsea na Liban gde moete
nai planine i ravnice, a i ljudi Srbije me podseaju na ljude Libana po
kulturi, gostoprimstvu i raznovrsnosti. Takoe, glavni trg u Beogradu,
skuptina grada, hram, male kaldrmisane ulice i arhitektura oko starog
gradskog sredita koje je peaka zona su stvarno vrlo ljupki. Jedna
stvar se posebno izdvojila, a to je mera u kojoj su ljudi prijateljski
nastrojeni i ljubazni. Svaki put kada bih otiao u prodavnicu, kafe ili
restoran, ljudi su se stvarno trudili da razgovaraju sa mnom vie nego
to se dalo oekivati.

What does your path to diplomacy look like? And what ma-
kes the diplomat successful in his career.
My path to diplomacy is rich and diverse. The best description of my
life in the Foreign Service - its challenges, dangers, satisfactions, and
fun - I have ever seen. It paints a superb picture of life abroad and at
job of pointing out how our diplomacy must change if it is to meet the
tremendous changes and challenges of the twenty-first century.
To be successful, it is important for the diplomat to keep up with cur-
rent events around the world. Also, he needs to listen well, analyse,
problem-solve, and learn how to apply these skills in foreign cultures,
promote international trade, learn about a countrys economy, business
practices, culture richness and banking system. Also, importantly, the
diplomat needs to learn the etiquette and customs of the host country
and be polite, tactful, and patient.
What are your impressions of Serbia?
Serbia is a very charming country. Since my first step in Serbia I was
shown nothing but kindness by the people of Serbia. I got adopted
very quickly and I felt comfortable. Serbia has fantastic food, ama-
zing people, great culture and history and awe inspiring clean nature.
I enjoyed taking walks in the numerous parks. Serbias nature re-
minds me of Lebanon where you can find mountains and planes, also
Serbian people remind me of the Lebanese people in culture, hospi-
tality and diversity. Also, the main square in Belgrade, the town hall,
cathedral, little cobbled streets, and surrounding architecture of the
pedestrianised old town centre are really quite charming. One thing
in particular that really stood out to me was how friendly and helpful
people were. Every time I went into a shop, caf, or restaurant, peo-
ple made a real effort to talk to me beyond what you would expect.

Kako izgleda vaa svakodnevica u Srbiji?
Moj svakodnevni program ovde je pun i aktivan, a ukljuuje razliite
zvanine, drutvene i kulturne funkcije. Takoe obuhvata pripreme i
organizovanje kulturnih dogaaja koji ine prisustvo Libana u Srbiji
vidljivijim.
Koliko Srbi znaju o tradicionalnim obiajima i kulturi Libana?
Shvatio sam da prijateljski srpski narod malo zna o Libanu, njegovoj
kulturi, istoriji i potencijalima. Stoga, tokom mog boravka ovde, mi
emo organizovati brojne programe koji e pribliiti Liban srpskom
narodu. S tim u vezi, mi upravo pripremamo jedan kulturni dogaaj o
Dubranu Halil Dubranu. Libanskom filozofu koji je meunarodno
poznat po svojoj knjizi iz 1923. godine Prorok koja je postala popu-
larna irom sveta 1930ih i ponovo 1960ih. Dubran je trei najbolje
prodavani pesnik svih vremena, odmah iza ekspira i Laocija. Ovaj
dogaaj e se organizovati u Nacionalnoj biblioteci Srbije 3. oktobra
2014. godine.
Koje su razlike izmeu Libana i Srbije?
Ima vie slinosti nego razlika izmeu Libana i Srbije. Razlike mogu
biti u jeziku i gastronomiji, ali slinosti obuhvataju gostoprimstvo, ljuba-
znost u ophoenju ljudi i njihovu otvorenost. Zapravo, Liban i Srbija
dele zajednike istorijske i geografske odlike. Obe zemlje imaju istori-
jsko naslee staro skoro koliko i najstariji dokazi o postojanju oveka.
Njihov geografski poloaj, na raskru koje povezuje istok i zapad,
im je dalo kosmopolitski karakter i multikulturnu zaostavtinu. Dele
sline vrednosti otvorenosti, verskih sloboda, skromnosti, tolerancije i
demokratije. Ove vrednosti su omoguile, i nastavile da omoguuju, Li-
banu i Srbiji da igraju bitnu ulogu u unapreivanju mira, razumevanja i
sloge kroz dijalog.

What is your daily life in Serbia?
My daily programme here is full and active, and it includes diverse
official, social and cultural functions. It also includes preparing and
organising cultural events that make the presence of Lebanon in Ser-
bia more visible.
How much do Serbs know about the traditional customs
and culture of Lebanon?
I realized that our friendly Serbian people know very little about Le-
banon, its culture, its history and potentials. Therefore, during our
stay here, we will organise many programmes that will make Leba-
non more known to the Serbian people. In this regard, we are in the
process of preparing a cultural event on Gibran Khalil Gibran. A Le-
banese philosopher who is internationally known for his 1923 book
The Prophet, which gained popularity in the 1930s and again in the
1960s across the world. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all
time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi. This event will take place at the
National Library of Serbia on October 3rd 2014.
What are the differences between Lebanon and Serbia?
There are more similarities than differences between Lebanon and
Serbia. The differences can be in language and gastronomy, but the
similarities include hospitality, kindness of the peoples nature and
outgoing people. Actually, Lebanon and Serbia share common histo-
ric and geographical qualities. Both countries have a historic heritage
almost as old as the earliest evidence of mankind. Their geographic
position, as crossroads linking the east and the west, has conferred
upon them a cosmopolitan character and multicultural legacy. They
share similar values of openness, religious freedom, moderation, to-
lerance and democracy. These values have enabled, and continue to

Ove godine je 60godinjica diplomatskih odnosa izmeu
Srbije i Libana, moete li nam rei neto o tome?
Velika mi je ast da kasnije ove godine proslavimo 60godinjicu us-
postavljanja diplomatskih odnosa izmeu Libana i Srbije. Liban je
uspostavio diplomatske odnose sa Srbijom u junu 1954. godine i
izuzetno mi je drago zbog injenice da prijateljstvo izmeu libanskog
i srpskog naroda postaje sve snanije. Od uspostavljanja diplomatskih
odnosa, Liban i Srbija odravaju prijateljske odnose.
Bilateralne konsultacije i saradnja izmeu Libana i Srbije se odvija
izmeu ove dve zemlje kroz razliite kanale. Obe zemlje dele razliita
podruja zajednike saradnje i sporazume, ukljuujui one u oblasti
saradnje meu Ministarstvima spoljnih poslova, omladine i sporta,
u promovisanju i recipronoj zatiti investicija i kulture. Posebnu
panju u pokloniti razvoju i jaanju naih bilateralnih ekonomskih
odnosa, turizma i kulturne i obrazovne saradnje. Uveren sam da je Sr-
bija takoe rada da jaa nae bilateralne odnose u svrhu dobrih odnosa
meu zemljama i narodima. Takoe, trudiu se da ojaam i unapredim
dobre bilateralne odnose koji postoje meu naim zemljama.
Nivo ekonomske saradnje izmeu Srbije i Libana. Da li su
investitori iz Libana zainteresovani da ulau u Srbiju i u
koju granu?
Vlada je pozvala lokalne poslovne ljude da vie ulau u Srbiju. A li-
banski investitori su zainteresovani da dou i uloe u poljoprivredu.
Ali ne u ovom trenutku, radije bi da saekaju neko drugo vreme,
poto investicije i zakoni, kapitalno vlasnitvo i poreski podsticaji,
kao i mnogi drugi aspekti garancija za ulaganja treba da se razjasne u
pogledu tih investitora.
Turistiki potencijal meu zemljama i planovi, i koje su
bitne turistike destinacije u Libanu?
Postoji veliki potencijal za proirivanje turistikih ponuda izmeu
Libana i Srbije, posebno sada kada je Er Srbija pokrenula direktne
letove iz Beograda do Bejruta, poevi od 1. juna 2014.
Raznovrsna atmosfera Libana i antika istorija ga ine jednim od
bitnijih destinacija za turiste iz Srbije. Liban ima puno toga da po-
nudi: od znamenitosti svetske batine, verskog turizma, muzeja,
citadela i tvrava, starih rimskih ruevina, do dobro ouvanih zam-
kova, krenjakih peina, istorijskih crkava i damija, divnih plaa Serbia, especially now that Air Serbia launched its direct flights from
smetenih kraj Mediterana, svetski poznate libanske kuhinje, nonog
ivota kojem nema kraja i diskotekama, do planinskih skijakih
odmaralita.S tim u vezi ima puno toga to turista u Libanu moe
da obie. Hteo bih da preporuim samo nekoliko znamenitosti,
ukljuujui: stare fenianske gradove Dbejl, Sidon i Tir, krenjaku ancient Roman ruins, to well preserved castles, limestone caves, his-
peinu Dejta, Balbek najvee libansko blago iz doba Rimljana, kao
i uvene Kedrove Libana.
Na kraju, moja supruga Abeer i ja bi eleli da zahvalimo Globe
Magazinu na tome to su nam pruili priliku da predstavimo
Liban narodu Srbije.

cause of peace, understanding and harmony through dialogue.
This year is the 60th anniversary of the diplomatic relations
between Serbia and Lebanon, can you tell us something
about that?
It is a great honour for me to celebrate later this year the occasion of the
60- year anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between
Lebanon and Serbia. Lebanon established diplomatic relations with
Serbia in June 1954 , and I am extremely pleased with the fact that
the friendship between the Lebanese and Serbian people is getting
stronger. Since establishing diplomatic relations, Lebanon and Serbia
have maintained friendly relations. Bilateral consultations and coope-
ration between Lebanon and Serbia take place between our countries
through various channels. Both countries share various areas of mu-
tual cooperation and agreements, including those in the Fields of coo-
peration between the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Youth and Sport,
the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments, and culture.
I will pay special attention for the development and strengthening of
our bilateral economic relations, tourism, and cultural and educational
cooperation. I am confident that Serbia is equally keen to strengthen
our bilateral relations in the interest of the good relationships between
our countries and peoples. Also, I shall endeavor to strengthen and
advance the good bilateral relations existing between our countries.
The level of economic collaboration between Serbia and
Lebanon. Are investors from Lebanon interested to invest
in Serbia and in which branch?
The Government has been calling on domestic business people to
invest more in Serbia. And the Lebanese investors are interested to
come and invest in agriculture. But not at the moment, they would
rather wait for some other time to come as the investment and laws,
capital ownership and tax incentives, and many other aspects of in-
vestments guarantees ought to be clarified for those investors.
Tourist potentials between two countries and plans and
what are the important tourist destinations in Lebanon?
There is a great potential to expand tourism between Lebanon and
Belgrade to Beirut starting from 1 June 2014.
Lebanons diverse atmosphere and ancient history make it an impor-
tant destination for tourist from Serbia. Lebanon offers plenty: from
World heritage sites, religious tourism, Museums, Citadels and Forts,
toric Churches and Mosques, beautiful beaches nestled in the Me-
diterranean Sea, world renown Lebanese cuisine, nonstop nightlife
and discothques, to mountainous ski resorts. In this regard there are
many things tourist can do in Lebanon. I would like just to recom-
mend few sites to visit including: Ancient Phoenician cities of Jbeil,
Sidon and,Tyre; Jeita Grotto limestone caves; Baalbeck, Lebanons
greatest Roman treasure; and the famous Cedars of Lebanon.
In our closing remarks my wife Abeer and I would like to thank
Globe Magazine for their giving us the opportunity to intro-
duce Lebanon to the Serbian people.

Director of UNICEF in Serbia

Kako ste poeli da radite za UNICEF? How did you start working for UNICEF?

Ja sam sa Haitija. Stekao sam univerzitetsku diplomu inenjera i
arhitekte. Nakon toga sam zavrio postdiplomske studije u oblasti
mikroplaniranja nastavnih programa obrazovnih ustanova, razradu i
formulisanje projekata, kao i postdiplomske studije ekonomskog ra-
zvoja na Univerzitetu Prinston. U skorije vreme sam pohaao kurseve
koji su za UNICEF organizovali Univeryitet u Kembridu i Univerzi-
tet u Mastrihtu, uglavnom u oblasti voenja i upravljanja rezultata za
decu. U UNICEF-u sam prvo radio kao konsultant, krajem 1980-ih i
poetkom 1990-ih, a 1992. godine sam postaoo zaposlenik UNICEF-a
kao rukovodilac projekta za vodu i sanitaciju u severnoj Africi, u dravi
Mali. Od 2001. do 2005. godine sam bio savetnik u centrali UNICEF-a
u Njujorku. Bio sam ef kancelarija UNICEF-a u gradu Enugu u Ni-
geriji i u Hajderabadu u Indiji. Nakon est godina provedenih u Indiji,
boravio sam tri godine u Bangladeu. Posao u obe ove drave bio je
veoma zahtevan o zbog velikog broja stanovnika i na hiljade dece. I
onda sam doao u Srbiju.
Kakav je, po Vaem miljenju, poloaj dece u Srbiji?
U poreenju sa mnogim drugim zemljama, deca u Srbiji su u relativno
dobrom poloaju, jer je Srbija zemlja gornjeg srednjeg nivoa doho-
tka. Imali ste veoma dobar ekonomski rast, ali naalost, od 2008. go-
dine, va ekonomski rast stagnira ili ak opada, to umnogome utie
na siromatvo i, to je jo vanije, na decu. Na primer, 2008. godine
ste imali 7,3% dece koja ive u siromatvu, a od 2010-11. godine taj
procenat je porastao na 13,7%. to zai da danas imate gotovo dvos-
truko vie siromane dece nego 2008. godine. To je veliki izazov.
Sada, meutim, kada govorimo o raspodeli dohotka i prosenom BDP
I am from Haiti. I have an undergraduate degree in engineering and ar-
chitecture, as a joint degree. After that, I undertook postgraduate studies
in themicro-planning of education facilities, in project elaboration and
formulation, and further on I did postgraduate studies in Economics-
Development at Princeton University as a Parvin Fellow. More recently,
I did some UNICEF sponsored courses;at both Cambridge University in
the UK and at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, mostly in the
areas of leadership and managing results for children. I first worked for
UNICEF as a freelance consultant, in the early 1980s and again in the late
1980s and in the early 1990s.In 1992 I joined UNICEF in Mali as Project
Officer for Water and Environmental Sanitation. From 1995 to 2001, I
was Senior Advisor for Water Supply and Sanitation in UNICEF Hea-
dquarter in New York. From 2001 onward I was Head of the UNICEF
Office in Enugu, Nigeria, then Chief of the Field Office in Hyderabad,
India.After six years in India, I spent three years in Bangladesh both
were challenging positionsbecause of the size of the population and its
share of children. And in November last year, I came to Serbia.
So, what is the position of children in Serbia, what do you
think?
Well, compared to many other countries, children in Serbia are in a rela-
tively good position, as Serbia is an upper-middle-income country. You
had very good economic growth, but, unfortunately, as of 2008, your
economic growth has been stagnating or even declining, thus having a
major impact on poverty and, more importantly on children. For exam-
ple, in 2008, you had approximately 7.3% of children who were living
in poverty, and as of 2010-11 that number rose to 13.7%. The number of

u zemlji, stvarnost je obino maskirana, jer postoji izvesna neravnotea
meu regionima i optinama. Srbija ima 24 optine koje su ekonomski
devastirane. Moemo rei da imate 24 siromane optine.
Koja deija prava su u Srbiji najugroenija?
Razlog iz kojeg podvlaim pitanje nejednakosti meu regionima jeste
injenica da taj disparitet postoji i izmeu gradskih i seoskih podruja.
Polovina dece u Srbiji ivi u seoskim podrujima. To znai da velika
veina siromane dece ivi u seoskim sredinama, u podrujima u ko-
jima je ekonomija devastirana. Ovo na slian nain utie na oblast obra-
zovanja, zdravlja, deije zatite. Primera radi, prosena pokrivenost
dece imunizacijom razlikuje se od optine do optine. Postoje optine u
kojima je pokrivenost 100%, dok je u drugima procenat potpune imuni-
zacije samo 25%. To je problem.
Romska deca su posebno osetljiva, nivo pohaanja kole
je nizak. Na koji nain se ona mogu uklopiti u sistem kroz
obrazovanje i zdravstvenu zatitu?
Najpre bih hteo da se vratim na Vae prethodno pitanje o tome koja su
prava dece posebno ugroena. Kada je u pitanju zdravlje, u Srbiji je u
optoj populaciji mortalitet odojadi 6 promila. A kod odojadi u Roms-
kim naseljima 13 promila, odnosno dvostruko vie od nacionalnog pro-
seka. I ovde su njihovo zdravlje i njihovo pravo na zdravstvenu zatitu
ugroeni, jer nemaju pristup istom zdravstvenom sistemu.
Bila sam u Indiji i videla mnogo ljudi koji ive na ulici.
Siromatvo postoji i u Indiji i ovde. To je loe. Kao to sam ve rekao,
bio sam u Indiji, a potom sam video neke sirotinjske etvrti ovde u
Srbiji, usred Evrope. Ljudi ive potpuno isto kao u svakoj siromanoj
zemlji. Ali da se vratim na Vae pitanje, pravo na obrazovanje takoe
predstavlja problem. Procenat ulaganja u obrazovanje u Srbiji je bilo
oko 4,53% BDP-a, to je ispod proseka u OECD zemljama od gotovo
5,4%. Indikativno je da najvei deo sredstava ide na isplatu zarada
nastavnicima, a da nema pravih ulaganja u unapreenje kvaliteta obra-
zovanja. Tako da da i za decu koja pohaaju kolu kvalitet obrazo-
vanja opada. On nije prilagoen 21.veku. Drugi problem je pristup
srednjem obrazovanju. U optoj populaciji 97% dece kolskog uzrsta
se upie u prvi razred. Meutim, za decu kolskog uzrasta u romskim
naseljima upis pada na 69%. Dispariteti se nastavljaju tokom celog
kolovanja 93% dece iz opte populacije zavri osnovno obrazo-
vanje, dok je to sluaj za samo 64% dece iz romskih naselja. Indikatori
za srednje obrazovanje stagniraju. Srednju kolu pohaa 89% adoles-
cenata iz opte populacij4, i tek 22% adolescenata iz romskih naselja.
Za devojice iz romskih naselja situacija je jo gora - samo 15% njih
pohaa srednju kolu.
Razlog nije to to oni ne ele da idu u kolu. Pitanja koje treba da
postavimo su: da li im je kola dostupna (gde dostupnost znai da
kola nije predaleko od mesta gde ive); da li predkolska ustanova
ima kapacitete, odgovarajue uitelje i vaspitae, kolske materijale;
da li roditelji koji ive u siromatvu mogu da priute da decu poalju
u kolu, jer je i ekonomska situacija veoma vana. Dakle, u pitanju su
dva faktora - dostupnost i pristupanost. Ovakav sistem, koji je pripad-
nike romske nacionalnosti liavao njihovih prava, je godinama pos-
tojao u celoj Evropi. Da li oni mogu da veruju sistemu? To je, dakle,
dvosmeran proces. Ne radi se o tome da oni ne ele da ue. Ima mnogo
visokoobrazovanih Roma, pitanje je da li im se daje ansa da ue. Ko-

children who are poor today has almost doubled in comparison to 2008.
Thats a big challenge. Now, however, when you talk about income
distribution and GDP average in the country, it usually masks the rea-
lity, because there are imbalances between regions and municipalities.
You have 24 municipalities in Serbia that are economically devastated.
We could say 24 poor municipalities.
What is the thing that really violates the rights of children
the most?
The reason why Im underlining the issue of disparity between regions
is because of the disparity between urban and rural areas. Half of Ser-
bian children live in rural areas. That means that a large majority of
children who are poor are living in rural areas, in regions where the eco-
nomy is devastated. Now, this has an impact on a similar front, in the
area of education, in the area of health, in the area of child protection. If
I look at, for example,healthcare, average coverage in terms of immu-
nization which varies between municipalities. You have municipalities
where coverage of immunization is 100%, while in other municipalities
you have 25% effective coverage of full immunization. And thats the
challenge.
Roma children are especially vulnerable, school attendance
levels are low. Can we mainstream them through education
and health?
Let me first answer your question on what child rights areviolated the
most. When it comes to the issue of health, for example, the infant mor-
tality ratein the general population inSerbia today is 6 per 1000 live
births. However, among infants in Roma settlements it is13 per 1000
live births, i.e. double the national average. So, thats again where chil-
drens right to health is being violated, because they have no access to
the same health system.
I visited India and saw a lot of people living on the street.
You have poverty in India and you also have poverty here. It isequally
bad. As I was saying to your parliament last time I met with them, Ive
been in India and now I have seensome of the slums here in Serbia, in
the middle of Europe. People are living exactly the same as in any poor
country. But, to go back to your question, the right to education is also
a challenge. The percentage of expenditure in education in Serbia was
around 4.53 percent of the GDP, which is below the average in OECD
countries of almost 5.4 percent. It is indicative that most of the funding
is used to pay for teachers salaries, but no real investment is made to im-
prove the quality of education in Serbia. So, even for children attending
schools the quality of learning has been declining. It is not adapted to the
21st century. The second challenge is access to secondary education. The
new findings of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS 5) show
that 97% of school-aged children in the general population enrol in the
first grade. However, for school-aged children in Roma settlements, en-
rolment drops to 69%. Disparities continue throughout the school years,
with 93% of children from the general population completing primary
education, compared to only 64% of children from Roma settlements.
Secondary education indicators have remained stagnant. 89% of the se-
condary-school aged adolescents among the general population attend
secondary school, while this is the case for only 22% of adolescents
from Roma settlements. For girls from Roma settlements, the situation
is far worse, with only 15% of them attending secondary school. It is not

ste im napisali? Da ne zaborave decu, najdragoceniji resurs
Srbije.
Za nas, UNICEF i UN, pitanje dece treba da bude iznad politike lin-
ije. Uostalom, deca nisu glasai, nego oni koje najvie moramo da
pazimo. Prvi prioritet za sve ns treba da budu naa deca. Moramo u
njih da ulaemo, posebno sada kada se broj dece smanjuje. Vidmo
da je sada u Srbiji 200.000 dece manje nego pre 10 godina. Post-
avlja se pitanje ko e da radi da bi drava mogla da plati svoje pen-
zionere? Manje dece. Dozvolite da navedem jedan primer. Ako ja
i moja supruga imamo etvoro dece, kada se penzioniem etvoro
ljudi e raditi da bi se isplaivale penzije za dvoje ljudi. Ako imate
dva roditelja i jedno dete, onda to jedno dete treba da izdrava dvoje
roditelja. To se danas deava u Srbiji. Imamo manje dece, a 2030.
godine, za 16 godina, neproporcionalno mali broj dece e izdravati
penzionere. Biete zemlja penzionera sa minimalnom radnom snag-
om. Kako takva zemlja moe ekonomski da preivi? Broj migranata
u Srbiji je minimalan, obnavljanje radne snage postae problem.
Neke zemlje podstiu talentovane mlade ljude na migraciju. To je
planirana migraciona politika da bi pokuali da privuku sve najbolje
mlade umove iz inostranstva. Te zemlje uzimaju va ljudski kapital
da bi podrali svoju ekonomiju. Ko e ostati u Srbiji da doprinese srp-
skoj privredi? Dakle, ulaganje u to malo dece koju imate je znaajno.
Rekao bih i da bi Srbija trebalo da razmisli o planiranju porodice
kako se poveao broj dece. U Indiji se broj stanovnika poveava, a
isti je sluaj je i u Bangladeu. U obe zemlje vie od 45% stanovnika
ima manje od 18 godina. Tih 48-50 miliona dece, koliko ih danas
ima u Bangladeu, sutra e biti produktivna snaga koja e doprineti
ekonomskom rastu, jer se sve vie i vie ove dece obrazuje. Srbiji je
potrebno obrazovano stanovnitvo. I vie dece.
liko je Roma koji su zavrili medicinski fakultet zaposleno? Koliko
ljudi pristaje da se lei kod lekara romske nacionalnosti? Uvek postoji
diskriminacija.
Postaviu Vam jo jedno pitanje o Romima. Kako da sklo-
nimo decu sa ulice? Videli ste na ulicama decu starosti od
3-4 do 15 godina.
Ne radi se o njihovom sklanjanju sa ulice. Po mom miljenju, radi se
o tome da treba da obezbedimo da sva deca u Srbiji, a neka od njih su
romska deca, uivaju svoja prava. Na Senjaku, gde stanujem, video sam
neke odrasle mlade ljude, koji nisu Romi, kako preturaju po kontejne-
rima. Ekonomska situacija ima veliki uticaj na svakoga.
ta UNICEF radi, na koji nain pomaete da se ree problemi
dece i porodica u okviru mandata i programa UNICEF-a u
Srbiji?
Srbija je u proteklih deset godina uloila znaajne napore u usposta-
vljanje mehanizama koji obezbeuju odgovornost... potovanje i os-
tvarivanje deijih i ljudskih prava. Osnovali ste Kancelariju zatitnika
graana, Nacionalni savet za prava deteta, imate Poverenika za zatitu
ravnopravnosti. To su veoma snani mehanizmi koje je Srbija usposta-
vila. UNICEF prua podrku vladi da bi da pravni instrumenti u Srbiji
budu usklaeni sa meunarodnim konvencijama, kao to su Konvencija
o pravima deteta ili Konvencija o eliminisanju svih oblik diskrimina-
cije ena. Na posao podrazumeva da imamo razliite pravce delovanja.

You sent an open letter to political parties in Serbia during the last
parliamentary elections. You told them not to forget the children,
Serbias most precious resource.
For us, UNICEF and the UN, childrens issues should be above the political
party line. At the end of the day, children are not voters, but are the ones
we all cherish. The first priority for all of us should be our children. Wemust
invest in our children. And particularlywhen the number of children is de-
creasing. We have seen that Serbia now has 200,000 less children than
10 years ago. So, who is going to work to pay your pensioners? Fewer
children. Let me give an example. If my wife and I have four children, when
we retire, there will befour of todays children working to pay the pensions
for 2 people. If you have two parents and one child, then the one child will
be supporting two parents. This is what is happening in Serbia today. We
have less children, and by 2030, 16 years from now, there will be a dispro-
portionally small number of children who will be supporting the people who
retire. This will bea country of pensioners with a small workforce. How can
a country in such a conditionsurvive economically? The number of migrants
here is minimal, thus regeneration of the workforce will become an issue.
Some countries are encouraging young talented people from other coun-
tries to migrate. Its planned migration,with a clear migration policy which
aims to attract all the best young brains from abroad. These countries are
taking your human resources back to their place, so they can contribute
to their economy. Who will be left to contribute to the Serbian economy?
So, investing in the few children that you have is important. I would say
that family planning with the aim of having more children should be some-
thing that Serbia must focus on. In India, the population is increasing, so is
the population of Bangladesh, both with more than 45% of their population
below the age of 18. Todays 48-50 million population of children in Ban-
gladesh will be tomorrowsworkforce and contribute to a growing economy,
as more of these children are being educated. Serbia needs an educated
population andmore children.
because the Romadont want to go to school.The questions we may ask
are:dothey have access to school - where access means that the school is
not too far from where they live; if the early learning institutionshavethe
necessary capacities, the right teachers, the right materials; can the pa-
rents, who are living in poverty, afford to send their children to school,
because the economic situation is also very important. So we have two
factors - availability and also affordability-is it affordable for them? The
system that denied the Roma population their rights lasted for a long
time, all over Europe. Can they trust the system? Its not that they dont
want to learn, there are many Roma in high level positions in society,
but are they giventhe chance to learn? How many Roma doctors are
employed? How many people are willing to go and see a Roma doctor?
Because there is always discrimination.
Just one more question about Roma. How can we move the
children away from the street? You saw them on the street,
at traffic lights, aged 3-4 to 15 years of age.
Its not about moving them away from the street. For me, its a matter
of ensuring that all children in Serbia enjoy their rights. And some of
them are Roma children.In Senjak, where I live, Ive seen some young
people and adults who are not Roma, picking out of the garbage. The
economic situation is impacting everyone.
What does UNICEF do, how do you help to solve the pro-
blems of children and families within the UNICEF mandate
and programmes in Serbia?
Serbia has made significant efforts in the past decade in establishing
mechanisms to ensure accountability, in order to ensure thatchildrens
rights or human rights are being respected and fulfilled. You have

nama finansira Istraivanje viestrukih pokazatelja poloaja dece i
ena (Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - MICS), koje obezbeuje
gotovo 40 razliitih podataka koji se odnose na poloaj dece i ena
a ne prikupljaju se redovnim statistikim istraivanjima. Tako su, na
primer, MICS podaci korieni za formulisanje strategije EU za Rome.
Isti sluaj je bio za Strategiju obrazovanja do 2020. godine.
UNICEF nije angaovan u pruanju usluga u Srbiji. Mi radimo mo-
deliranje, pokazujemo da kako odreeni model moe da funkcionie,
kako bi vlada mogla da ga primeni kada je to relevantno. Radimo sa
vladom na deinstitucionalizaciji dece iz velikih rezidencijalnih institu-
cija, i pomaemo da se uspostavle pravni instrumenti. Danas je, na pri-
mer, u Srbiji na snazi zakon po kojem nijedno dete mlae od tri godine
ne moe da bude smeteno u ustanovu i treba da ivi u porodinom
okruenju.
Uz podrku Evropske unije kroz IPA program i Italijanske korpora-
cije za razvoj, blisko saraujemo sa vladom da se deca iz tih velikih
ustanova u manje domove za decu, poput onog u Aleksincu koji sam
nedavno posetio. Jedan od primarnih fokusa UNICEF-a je da se po-
mogne najugroenijoj i marginalizovanoj deci - romskoj deci, onoj iz
siromanih porodica, deci sa smetnjama u razvoju i invaliditetom.
Kakva je saradnja UNICEF-a sa privatnim i biznis sektorom
i u emu se ogleda njihova korporativna drutvena odgo-
vornost?
Generalno gledajui, korporativna drutvena odgovornost se razvija
sporim tempom u mnogim zemljama. Po mom miljenju, u Srbiji se
privatni sektor sve vie ukljuuje u socijalni segment, iako jo uvek
nema mnogo angaovanih fondacija ili grupa. Segment organizacija
civilnog drutva u Srbiji je tek u zaetku. To nije veliki sektor, kao
to je to sluaj u drugim zemljama, ali se vidi neki napredak. Ako uz-
memo Telenor za primer, on ima Telenor kao kompaniju, ali i Tele-
nor fondaciju, a tu su druge fondacije, kao na primer Novak okovi
fondcija,Hemofarm fondacija, da pomenem samo neke.
U kojoj meri se srpski privrednici ukljuuju u neke akcije ili
programe koje podrava UNICEF? Da li moete da im pris-
tupite i ih ukljuite u mreu, da ih privuete da postanu deo
zajednice koja pomae ljudima? Da li saraujete sa njima?
Rekao bih da je uee privatnog sektora u filantropiji i korporativnoj
drutvenoj odgovornosti u Srbiji u svom zaetku, ali se postepeno se
razvija. Iako trenutna ekonomska situacija predstavlja izazov, sve vie
kompanija eli da se ukljui. UNICEF je prole godine odrao konfer-
enciju na kojoj je predstavljen dokument Principi poslovanja i prava
deteta, koji utvruje deset principa koje privatni sektor i preduzea
treba da potuju kako bi obezbedili ostvarivanje deijih prava. Na
konferenciji je uestvovao veliki broj organizacija, vie od 60, koje
su se obavezale da e ove principe uvrstiti u svoje poslovanje. To je
dokaz da privatni sektor prihvata koncept drutvene odgovornosti. Vi-
dimo i da se i pojedinci sve vie ukljuuju doniraju za drutvene i ra-
zvojne aktivnosti. UNICEF sarauje sa nekoliko ovih organizacija. Na
primer, partneri smo sa Telenorom koji Obezbeuje podrku za promo-
ciju celokupnog koncepta kole bez nasilja. I kompanija Hemofarm

established the Ombudsperson Office, you have established the Na-
tional Council for Child Rights, and you have the Commissioner for
Human Equality. Those are very strong mechanisms that Serbia has
put into place. UNICEF has been part of supporting the government
in ensuring that the legal instruments in Serbia are harmonized with
international conventions, like the Convention of the Right of Child or
the Convention for Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against
Women. Our work is multifaceted - we provide support to ensure that
the legal framework is in place and we provide support in the area of
strategic planning and budgeting for children.A very important part of
our support isensuring that the right data related to childrens rights
are available to Serbia; in order to correctly identifyproblems, to ana-
lysethem, to budget appropriately and to take action to tackle them.
We are the organizationthat has been financing the Multiple Indica-
tor Cluster Survey (MICS), which provides almost 40 different kinds
of dataabout the welfare of children, information that is not gathered
through regular statistical research. This is the most authoritative sour-
ce of information in regards to children. For example, the MICS data
were used for formulating the EU strategy for Roma population, as
was the case for the Serbia Education Strategy 2020.
UNICEF is not engaged in service delivery in Serbia. Wefocus on a
modelling approach;demonstrating modelsthat work and costing them,
so that the government can take them to scale whenever relevant. For
example, we work with the government on the deinstitutionalization of
children from large-scale residential institutions, ensuring that the legal
instruments are in place. Serbia has passed the lawthat no child under
the age of three years can be put into an institution and must reside in
a family environment.With support from the EU, through IPA andthe
Italian Cooperation funds, we work closely with the government in
movingchildren out of large institutions andinto smaller childrens ho-
mes, like the one I have visited recently in Aleksinac. UNICEFs pri-
mary focusare the most vulnerable and marginalized children - Roma
children, children from poor families, children with disabilities.
What is the cooperation between UNICEF and the private
or business sector and where does this corporate social
responsibility reflect?
The overall corporate social responsibility framework has slowly been
developing in many countries, and I think that in Serbia we are seeing
a real emergence of engagement of the private sector in the social sphe-
re; even thoughthere are not many foundations or groups involved. The
segment of civil society organisations in Serbia is still at its infancy. It
is not a large sector like in other countries, but it is moving forward.
Indeed, you can see the emergence of a better structured civil society.
For example, if you look at Telenor -you have Telenor as a business,
but you also have the TelenorFoundation. There is theNovak okovi
Foundation, the Hemofarm Foundation, to name justa few.
How much do Serbian business people get involved in
some actions or programmes that are also supported by
UNICEF? Is it possible for you to access and to network, to
attract them into being part of the giving community? Do
you have cooperation with them?
I would say that the involvement of the private sector in philanthropy
andin corporateresponsibilityis at its infancy in Serbia. And I think that
things are moving slowly in this area. Although the economic situation
right now is challenging, we have seen more businesses who are willing

Da li postoje zloupotrebe i koje su mogunosti za zloupo-

Imali smo neka loa iskustva u Srbiji.
Ne deava se to samo u Srbiji. Svuda u svetu ima ljudi koji su spremni
za zloupotrebe. Bilo da se radi o SAD-u ili Evropi, uvek moete da
ujete za neki skandal u vezi sa korupcijom, za ljude koji zloupotreblja-
vaju humanitarnu pomo, crkvu ili neku organizaciju. Ja sam ovde nov,
ali verujem da i ovde postoje organizacije koje su zloupotrebile sistem.
Da li mislite da neke privatne kompanije koriste ili zloupo-
trebljavaju UNICEF da bi zloupotrebile sistem? Da li ima

Ne bih rekao da bilo koja organizacija moe da zloupotrebi UNICEF

nije bila naplaen. To su bile kompanije kojima smo poverili da proda-

I wouldnt say that any
organization can abuse
UNICEF in order to abuse the
public. No. We have no such
cases. However, we have
been abused, for example by
two companies thatwere
selling UNICEF goods, such
as greeting cards
to come forward. Last year, for example, UNICEF organised consulta-
tions on the Business Principles in Child Rights - ten principles that we
60 businesses, participated and committed themselves to incorporating
the Business Principles into their business. This is evidence that the
private sector is moving towards corporate social responsibility. Indivi-
duals are also showing a strong willingness to get involved and donate
and hence to support social and developmental activities.UNICEF has
been collaborating with several private sector entities. For instance, we
lence concept. Hemofarm is also supporting UNICEF programmes and
we are soon going to launch a jointcampaign promoting Happy Fami-
lies families where there is no violence: no violence against children,
no violence against a spouse,eitherahusband or awife. We have been
supported by Bambi and Maxi and have received non-monetary, but
valuable support, from the media.We also have individuals who donate
to us their talents, their voice and image - people like Aleksandar Saa
orevi, Ana Ivanovi, Novak okovi support of our efforts to pro-
mote child rights. But we want to engage the private sector even more,
not necessarily for financing UNICEF, but to do things that UNICEF
doesnot necessarily have to do. What we would like to see is a responsi-
ble Serbian business community which can do things so that Serbia, in
the long run, doesnt need any outsiders, or foreigners or the UN.Things
that, indeed,the business community can do. Currently, UNICEFs role
is to help them see what they can do and how they can do it. And one
day we can pull out. The faster we pull out, the sooner it will show that
Serbia is moving in the right direction. Right now, Serbia does have a
lot of private entities that are really moving forward and are thinking in
a forward manner.
What are the possibilities, if any, for abuse of the system
in these promotional humanitarian actions? We had some
bad experiences in Serbia.
Serbia is not unique. In any place in the world there are always some
people who abuse the system. Whether it is in the US or Europe, you
always hear about scandals about corruption, inthe church or in charity
organisations. Some people do use them for their personal gain. I am
relatively new in Serbia, but it is reasonable to assume that there are
organizations that have abused the system.
Do you think that there are some private companies that
use or abuse UNICEF in order to abuse the system? Do you
think there are cases like that?

dobar, da se tada ivelo bolje,
jer su im roditelji priali da

i besplatno obrazovanje...
Po mom miljenju, to je
drugaiji sistem
zajednici se uvek zna da li se i ta deava. Ali da biste to znali mo-
rate da obilazite teren. Zato i ja lino idem u u terenske posete radi
utvrivanja i sprovoenja programa i pravilnog korienja UNICEF
ovih sredstava od strane naih partnera. Nedavno smo ili u terenske
posete, i za mene je bilo okatno siromatvo koje smo tog dana videli.
Nisam mogao da verujem da sam u Srbiji. Siromatvo na 500 metara
od kancelarije gradonaelnika, ljudi koji ive gore nego u sirotinjskoj
etvrti u Bombaju, ba ovde, u Srbiji.
Posetila sam Indiju kao turista, bila sam u Radastanu i
Nepalu. Videla sam siromatvo u mnogim zemljama treeg
sveta, videla sam siromane ljude, ali oni imaju neku nadu
i nekakav oseaj sree. Videla sam i oaj i ljude koji ive u
prolosti. Kada ljudi izgube nadu ponu da ive u prolosti.
Da li vi vidite razliku?
Da, problem je kada neko stalno ivim u prolosti. Treba da se okre-
nemo sadanjosti i budunosti. Da ivimo u sadanjosti, i da gledamo u
budunost. Na neki nain to mogu da razumem, jer ste vi u Srbiji u pro-
teklih deset godina imali toliko puta izbore, uo sam komentare da ne
mogu da se odlue ko je najbolji kandidat i za koga da glasaju. Mnogi
misle da je Tito bio dobar, da se tada ivelo bolje, jer su im roditelji
priali da su za vreme njegove vladavine imali sve, ukljuujui dobro
i besplatno obrazovanje... Po mom miljenju, to je drugaiji sistem.
Sada imamo demokratiju, a onaj sistem je bio komunistiki. To je, ini
mi se, deo problema kod Srba, to ive u prolosti. U Indiji, kao to ste
rekli, ima mnogo siromanih ljudi koji ive na ulici, ali se smeju, imaju
cilj, ive u budunosti.
Morate da imate u vidu da ekonomija Indije u poslednjih deset godina
raste za 7% godinje. Indija ima gotovo 200 miliona stanovnika koji su
bili siromani, a koji su iz tog siromatva izali u proteklih deset godina.
Ta zemlja se razvija - 200 miliona nekada siromanih ljudi vie ne ivi
u siromatvu. To je impozantan broj - 200 miliona. itava zemlja se
razvija. Na alost, u nekim zemljama samo male grupe idu napred. To
je ono to elim da istaknem. Srbija je zemlja gornjeg srednjeg nivoa
dohotka, zbog ukupnog prosenog BDP-a. Ali veliki problem preds-
tavljaju dispariteti. Kao to sam ve pomenuo, 24 optine su u potpu-
nosti ekonomski devastirane. Seoske sredine se prazne, ljudi se sele u
gradska podruja. A tamo za njih nema posla. Zemlja ostaje naputena,
to loe utie na poljoprivredu. Ljudi moraju da se vrate poljoprivredi.
ta e se dogoditi? Resurs ove zemlje je ljudski kapital, kao u Japanu,
koji nema prirodne resurse. Japan je uspeo, kao i Koreja, Malezija,
Singapur. Ove zemlje su se vratile kao zemlje koje se bore, neke pre
etrdeset ili pedeset godina. One su danas meu vodeim zemljama
sveta. Zato to ulau u ljude. Po mom miljenju, najvaniji korak koji

Some think that Tito
was good, that life was
betterbecause their parents
told them so, that during
Titos rulethey had everything
including good and free
education, etc. In my opinion,
its a different system
I wouldnt say that any organization can abuse UNICEF in order to
abuse the public. No. We have no such cases. However, we have been
abused, for example by two companies thatwere selling UNICEF
goods, such as greeting cards. Proceeds from the sale back in 2007
and 2009 have neverbeen paid to UNICEF.Those were companies that
were well established, that we had entrusted to sell our goods,and that
never returned the proceeds to UNICEF. Such things can happen.
In terms of our relations with civil society, we are screening all po-
tential partners, now more than ever. We are screening the quality of
their accounting system, their credibility, their track record, etc. But
this isnt a full-proof system; some companies may declare bankruptcy
or simply close down and disappear. We have seen that companies,
even in the US, that did wellfour-five years ago, suddenly collapsed
and disappeared. You cannot always predict or foresee that. However,
we do try to look for partners that have a good track record, who have
their systems in place. It is important that UNICEF staff, along with its
partners, do constant monitoring and also get feedback from the com-
munities in which we are involved. The community knows best what
is or is not happening in the community. But to get these kinds of insi-
ghts, you must ensure a certain level of frequency of fieldvisits. Thats
why I personally also take part in field visits; to ascertain programme
implementation and the proper utilisation of UNICEF allocated funds
by our implementing partners. We have recently gone to a field visit,
and what we saw that day in terms of poverty was, at least for me,
shocking, I could hardly believe I was in Serbia. Poverty at 500 meters
from the Mayors office in that town, people living in conditions simi-
lar to those in the slums of Bombay, right here in Serbia.
I have visited India as a tourist, the Rajasthan region and
Nepal also. I see poverty in many Third World countries,
I see people are poor, but they have some sense of hope
and happiness.I have seen the despair and people who live
in the past... When people lose hope they start living in the
past. Do you see the difference?
Yes, it is a problem when onekeepsliving in the past. We are living in
the present, and we should look to the future. In some way, however, I
can understand, because you have had so many elections in Serbia in
the past ten years, and there is a feeling that it is the same people, the
same political parties who are always present. For example, during
the last elections, Iheard some people commenting that they did no-
tknow who the best candidate was and whom to vote for. Some think
that Tito was good, that life was betterbecause their parents told them
so, that during Titos rulethey had everything including good and free
education, etc. In my opinion, its a different system. Now we have de-
mocracy, but then it was a communist system. And that,I think, is part
of the problem in Serbia, living in the past. In India, as you said, I saw
 Osmeh i obrazovanje dece su naa misija / Smile and education of childern are our mission
od 14 do 25 godina koji su nezaposleni. I oni nisu opremljeni pravim
alatkama za dananje trite. Imaju srednje obrazovanje, ako ga imaju,
ali kroz njega nisu stekli nikakve vetine. Zato se u Srbiji mora povesti
rauna o obrazovanju i to brzo. To je va kapital. A po svojoj lokaciji
u Evropi, Srbija je u dobroj poziciji da moe mnogo toga da prui
Evropi. Ali Srbija mora da se postara da ima prave alatke za to.
S obzirom na teku ekonomsku situaciju u zemlji, u ko-
joj meri UNICEF moe da povee srpsku stranu sa nekim
meunarodnim kompanijama kako bi se potpomoglo i
olakalo napredovanje Srbije?
Prvo, ekonomska situacija u vaoj zemlji ne znai da ne moe da se
postigne mnogo u socijalnom sektoru. Zapravo, a to je veoma vano,
u ekonomskoj krizi zemlja mora da obrati veliku panju na svoje
socijalne usluge, da obezbedi delotvornost i efikasnost investicija
tako da svaki dinar bude adekvatno utroen. To je period kada mo-
rate da ulaete u unapreenje svog zdravstvenog sistema, jer ako ne
unapreujete zdravlje stanovnitva ovaj teret e postajati sve tei, i na
kraju ete potroiti vie novca na leenje graana. Dakle, jeftinije je
spreiti nego leiti. Ovde bih eleo da pozovem poslovni sektor da se
ukljui. Politika situacija moe da se promeni ali, na kraju krajeva,
ekonomiju zemlje ne kreira vlada. Vlada se oslanja na porez. Zada-
tak je graana i privatnog sektora da svoju vladu uine odgovornom.
Dakle, privatni sektor kao celina moe da oblikuje celokupnu putanju
ove zemlje. Ovde privatni sektor mora da odigra glavnu ulogu u jaanju
i podsticanju unapreenja kvaliteta obrazovanja, jer ljudski kapital koji
je potreban privatnom sektoru ine ljudi u Srbiji. Dakle, ako privatni
a lot of poor people living on the streets, but they were smiling. They
always smile, they have a goal, and they are living in the future.
We should be reminded, though, that the economy in India has been
growing by 7 percent per year for the past ten years. India had almost
200 million people who were living in poverty and who are no longer
below the poverty line. Thats a big number - 200 million. The country
is moving forward, as a whole. And, unfortunately, in some other coun-
tries you have a small group that is moving or progressing. Thats what
I want to highlight. Serbia is an upper-middle-income country, because
of the overall average GDP. But when we look at disparities. As I men-
tioned earlier, 24 municipalities are completely economically devasta-
ted. Rural areas are empty, people are moving to urban areas.Yet, there
are few employment opportunities for them.So, all the farming lands
are becoming empty and the agricultural output may suffer. So, what is
going to happen? The asset of this country is its human capital, like in
Japan, which has no natural resources. Japan made it. Korea, Malay-
sia and Singapore, were struggling countries forty or fifty years ago.
Today, they are some of the worlds strongest economies. Why? They
invest in human capital. This is why I believe that the most important
area that Serbia needs to improve is education, and in doing so make a
difference in the future.. Particularly, today it has 46 percent of adoles-
cents, between 14 and 25 years of age, who are unemployed. Yet, they
are not equipped with the right tools for todays market. A large num-
ber of young people have completedonly secondary education, which
doesnt equip them for anything. The education policy in Serbia must
be re-evaluated. And quickly. This can be your asset. Geographically,
Serbia is in a good position to offer to Europe. But Serbia has to make
sure that it has the right tools.
Taking into consideration the bad economic situation here,
how much is UNICEF in a position to bring together the
Serbian side and some international companies in terms of
helping or facilitating Serbia to move forward?
The current economic situation in Serbia does not meanthat the country
cannot achieve a lot in the social sector. And even more importantly,
when there is an economic downturn, thats when the country needs
to pay the most attention to its social services, to ensure the effective-
ness and efficiency of investments, so that every dinar spent is spent
with a return. Thats the time when you need to invest, for example,
in improving your healthcare system; preventative healthcare is more
cost-effective than waiting to treat diseases. It is cheaper to prevent
than to cure. This is where I would like to call on the business sector
in Serbia. The political situation may change, but at the end of the day
your countrys economy is not managed, is not generated by the go-
vernment. The government relies on taxes. Its the task of the citizens
and the private sector to make their government accountable. In fact,
the private sectorcan shape the whole trajectory of this country. This
is where the private sector needs to play a major role in strengthening
the system, in giving the push to improve the quality of education;
because the human capital that the private sector needs are, in fact,
the people ofSerbia. If the private sector does notinvest in that capital,
itwill not have a workforce in the future, itwill not find the right people
to work in itsindustries. The peopleare also customers. If the econo-
mic capacity is diminished, the business sectorwill have no customers.
Does Serbia want to be a country which is the main producer of labour
for textile, or a country that generates value added agricultural goods?
Turkey, right now, produces suits for Hugo Boss and many other well-
known brands. I went to the fashion district in umievo sokae, with

ekonomski kapacitet nestane, oni nee imati kupce. Da li Srbija eli da
bude zemlja koja je vodei proizvoa tekstila ili vodei proizvoa
poljoprivrednih proizvoda? Ili eli da ode korak dalje, poput Turske,
u kojoj se proizvodi najvei deo odee za kompaniju Hugo Boss i
mnoge druge kompanije. Posetio umievo sokae, u kome se nalazi
veliki broj prodavnica modne odee. To je nekada bila manje-vie vaa
modna industrija, a sada mnogi od njih prodaju odeu iz Turske ili
prokrijumarenu iz Milana, po niskim cenama.
Koji su dalji planovi UNICEF-a kada je u pitanju Srbija? Koji
su vai planovi za budunost?
Za nas je vano da se koncentriemo na unapreenje ravnopravnosti,
da se osigura da niko nije izostavljen, da svi radimo na smanjenju dis-
pariteta, da svi graani i graanke, posebno deca, imaju pristup us-
lugama i ostvaruju svoja prava. U fokusu naeg rada i dalje e biti
pristup kvalitetnom obrazovanju za svu decu, deija zatitra, posebno
jaanju zakonskog okvira, maloletniko pravosue, deinstutionaliza-
cija dece u korist porodinog okruenja sa posebnim osvrtom na decu
sa smetnjama u razvoju, eliminisanje nasilja nad decom, kao to su
digitalno nasilje, nasilje u koli i porodici, seksualno zlostavljanje.
Iako zakon u Srbiji ne zabranjuje telesno kanjavanje, podaci iz MICS
istraivanja pokazuju da izgleda postoji odreeni napredak i vee ra-
zumevanje da decu ne treba disciplonovati nasilnim sredstvima. Od
2010, u optoj populaciji procenat dece izmeu 1 i 14 godina koji su
iskusili psiholoku agresiju ili fiziko kanjavanje je opalo sa 67% na
43%, a u Romskim naseljima sa 86% na 66%.
Na koji nain moe da se zatititi dete u koli?
Da sam ja nastavnik u uionici sa 20 dece, i da jedan uenik maltretira
drugog, mogao bih, kao prvu meru, da ga izbacim sa asa. Ali, nasta-
vnik mora da razume je on taj koji igra ulogu u menjanju mentaliteta,
promeni ponaanje dece, da shvati da svako dete u toj uionici ima ista
prava. Mi realizujemo program kola bez nasilja, koji veoma dobro
napreduje i za koji imamo podrku nekoliko partnera, kao to je, na
primer, Telenor, a na elu kojeg stoji Ministarstvo obrazovanja. Vlada
je uloila sredstva i uspostavila Jedinicu za prevenciju nasilja unutar
ministarstva koja upravlja programom. Mnoge kole su se ukljuile u
program. Veoma je jaka vrnjaka komponenta, i sve vie je uenika
koji svojim vrnjacima govore da prestanu sa nasiljem. Nastao je po-
kret protiv nasilja koji se iri u Srbiji. Mladi ljudi su deo tog nasillja
kao poinioci, i istovremeno edukuju druge, svoje vrnjake o preven-
ciji. Tako olakavaju posao kolskoj upravi.
Kako spreiti nasilje i drogu? Kako jedan, recimo 15-
godinjak moe da ponese no u kolu?
Postoji i ono to zovemo roditeljskom edukacijom. Zato vi nikada

navljate ono to ste videli kod kue. Zato vi niste na ulici? Zato niste
postali narko diler? Tako biste mogli brzo da zaradite novac. Zato ne
biste prodavali nelegalnu robu? Ali imate i pravosudni sistem koji mora
da igra svoju ulogu. Srbija ima takav zaostatk u sudskom postupku da

What are the UNICEF Serbias plans for the future in Serbia?
For us, it is important to concentrate on advancing the equility agen-
da. The equility agenda ensures that no one is left out, ensures that
we all work on reducing disparities, that all citizens, and childrenin
particular,have access to services and enjoy their rights.The areas that
UNICEF will continue to focuson are; access to quality education for all
children, child protection, in particular supporting the strengthening of
the legal framework, juvenile justice, deinstitutionalization of children
in favour of a family environment with focus on children with disabi-
lities, elimination of violence against children such as digital bullying,
violence in schools, violence at home and sexual harassment. In some
areas there are already signs of improvement. Although the law in Serbia
does not ban corporal punishment, MICS 5 data show that there seems
to be some progress and an improved understanding that children should
not be disciplined byviolent means. Since 2010, the percentage of chil-
dren between 1 and 14 years who experienced psychological aggression
or physical punishment has gone down, from 67% to 43% percent in the
general population, and from 86% to 66% in Roma settlements.
How do we, as a society, protect children at school?
If I were a teacher in the classroom of 20 children, and if one child was
bullying theother children,as a first measure I wouldask him to go out
of the classroom. But the teacher must understand that he or she has
a role to play in changing the mentality, in changing the behaviour of
children, to realise that each of them in the room has the same rights.
We are implementing a programmecalled School without Violence,
which has been showing good results. We have the support of several
partners, includingTelenor, and with the Ministry of Education, Science
and Technological Developmentat the forefront of it. The government
has budgeted for and created a Unit within the Ministry to administer the
School without Violence programme and many schools are now a part
of it. There is a peer education component and more students today are
telling their peers to stop the use of violence. It is a movement which is
growing in Serbia. Young people are part of the violence as perpetrators
or victims and they are educating each other.
How to prevent violence and drug use? How can aone 15-
year old,go to school with knife?
Well, there is also parental education. Why do you never carry a knife
yourself? Because the education you received at home was the founda-
tion for everything else later in life. The school system can only provide
public education, but the roots of education come from the family. You
repeat outside what you see at home. Why didnt you become a drug dea-
ler? You couldmake a lot of money quickly. Why not sell illegal goods?
The legal systemmust play its role. Serbia has a largebacklog of court
cases, part of the judicial system is dysfunctional. The rule of law and
good governance are two key issues in the process of EU integration.
Indeed, you can have the best laws, but someone has to implement them,
the judicial system, the police system must reinforce them, and more im-
portantly, education at home and in school mustplay a critical role. It is a
whole package and all elements have to work simultaneously. UNICEF
will work with the government, butalso withcivil society to strengthen
 Osmeh i obrazovanje dece su naa misija / Smile and education of childern are our mission
od oblasti koja je podrcrtana u procesu EU integracija, i koji Srbija mora
da unapredi. Zaista, moete imati najbolje zakone, ali neko mora da ih
sprovodi. Pravosudni siste, policijski sistem moraju da obezbede njihovo
sprovoenje. Isto toliko je vana i uloga obrazovanje kod kue i u koli.
To je dakle ceo paket, i svi elementi moraju da ide zajedno. UNICEF e
raditi sa vladom i civilnim drutvom da bi ojaao celokupan sistem... da
bi obrazovao porodicu, pruio podrku porodici. Imamo, na primer, pro-
gram Porodinog saradnika koji je podrala Novak okovi Fondacija.
To je jedinstven program koji sprovodimo kao model. Obueni porodini
saradnici odlaze u porodice, ne ekaju da vide da li te porodice mogu
da i da li imaju pristup sistemu socijalne zatite. Pomau im kada dodje
do nesporazuma izmeu suprunika, izmeu roditelja i dece. Kada mi
imamo problem, moemo da odemo kod psihoterapeuta, ali siromane
i ugroene porodice nemaju kome mogu da se obrate. Zato je uloga
porodinog saradnika vana. Oni pomau porodicama da imaju pristup
odgovarajuim beneficijama koje im pripadaju, ukazuju im na znaaj
obrazovanja i zdravstvene zatite, itd. Mi dokumentujemo i finansiramo
ovaj model koji drava kasnije moe da preuzme i proiri na osnovu
injenica koje smo prikupili. b Kao to sam ranije pomenuo, sprovodimo
projekat kola bez nasilja u saradnji sa Ministarstvom obrazovanja, i
uz podrku javnih linosti. Tako smo, na primer, pozvali Sau orevia
na jednu koarkaku utakmicu koju su organizovali uenici u jednoj od
kola koje primenjuju program. Saa je nacionalni ambasador UNICEF-a
i uzor za decu i adolescente. Pozvali smo i koarkaicu Natau Kovaevi,
koja je izgubila nogu u nesrei.

Govorili smo o privatnom sektoru. eleo bih da dodam da je jedna vana
komponenta privatnog sektora medijski sektor. Ako me pitate ko moe
imati najvaniju ulogu u ovoj zemlji vie od kompanija Hemofarm ili Te-
lenor, to su mediji, jer imaju veliki domet, vei od bilo kog drugog. Hteli
bismo, meutim, da vidimo novinare koji su odgovorniji, koji su svesni
socijalnih dispariteta. Mediji su kima obrazovane zemlje. Medije imaju
mo. Uz mo ide odgovornost. Mediji su na neki nain odgovorni za ono
to e se ovoj deci dogoditi sutra. Mislim da neki mediji jo uvek nisu
shvatili da su odgovorni za ono to se ovde deava u pogledu nasilja, na
primer. Svi gledamo te programe na televiziji koji su potpuno neprihvat-
ljivi za decu. Zato mi je drago da se Republika radiodifuzna agencija
pozabavila ovim pitanjem. Prole godine su Udruenje novinara Srbije i
UNICEF pomogli RRA da analiziraju sistem oznaavanja TV programa
kako bi se zatitila deca od neprimerenih televizijskih sadraja, i da se
razviju kriterijumi za oznaavanje TV programa koji e primenjivati svi
emiteri. Stvari oigledno idu na bolje, ali jo uvek treba da vidimo veu
ulogu medija u promovisanju pozitivnog izvetavanja o deci. Jo uvek
postoji tendencija da se izvetava o negativnim primerima, da sluamo
samo loe vesti. Zato ne promovisati i dobre primere?
Kako roditelji mogu da zatite decu od negativnog medijskog
izvetavanja i neprimerenih TV programa?
Ja nemam TV konekciju od 1996. godine, evo ve gotovo 20 godina.
Gledam filmove koje ja elim da gledam na videu. Moja deca nemaju
pristup CNN-u, ntii bilo kom slinom kanalu, to nemamo kod kue. Ljudi
mi esto kau Ali vi u UNICEF-u morate da budete obaveteni!. Ja im
odgovaram da ako su vesti loe, kad uem u kancelariju svi govore o
tome i pitaju me da li sam uo vesti. Retko ujem da je neko rekao: O,
ovo je dobra vest...
the system, byeducating and supporting families. We have, for
example, the Family Outreach programme, supported by the Novak
okovi Foundation. This is a unique programme that we are imple-
menting as model. Trained outreach workers go out to families, and do
notwait to see whether they can access the social system or not. They
help when there is a dispute between a husband and a wife, between
parents and children, and they are trained to do it. When we have a pro-
blem, we can go to psychotherapy, but the poor and vulnerable families
have no one to turn to. Thus, the role of family outreach workers is
important. They help families to get access to available social benefits,
educate them on the importance of education and health check-ups, etc.
We are documenting and costing that model and thereafter the govern-
ment can use the evidence generated to scale it up.
As stated earlier, we are implementing the School without Violence pro-
gramme with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological De-
velopment, and the programme is supportedby national celebrities. For
example, at the beginning of April, a school that implements this pro-
gramme organised a basketball tournament and I invited Saa orevi
to join us. He is UNICEFs National Ambassador and a role model for
children. We also had your basketball player, Nataa Kovaevi, who
lost her leg in an accident, a famous basketball player.
What is the impact of media on todays youth?
We spoke about the private sector. I would like to add that one of the
important componentsof the private sector is the media. And if you ask
me who can play a major role in this country, its the mediabecause
they have a larger reachthan anyone else. We would like to see more
and more independent media. We would like to see journalists who are
more responsible. We want to see a responsible media industry, which is
conscious of the social disparities. The media can be the back bone to an
educated society.The media has that power. And with the power come
responsibilities and accountability. The media industry is, in a way, also
accountable for what happens to these kids tomorrow. I think that part
of the media has not realised that they are responsible and accountable
for what is happening; in relation to violence, for instance. We all see
those programmes on television which are completely unsuitable for
children. I am glad that the Republican Broadcasting Agency has taken
up this issue. Last year, UNICEF and the Association of Journalists of
Serbia helped the Agency to review the content rating system, which
is used for the protection of children from unsuitable TV programme
content and to develop a set of criteria which would apply to all TV
broadcasters. Things are obviously progressing, but we would like to
see a stronger role of the media in promoting positive reporting on chil-
dren. The tendency is still to report on negative, bad news. Why not
promote some good examples?
How can parents protect children from negative media re-
porting and inappropriate TV programmes?
I havent watched TV since 1996, for almost 18 years now. I watch
videos or movies that I want to watch. My kids do not have access
to CNN or other international media of the sort. People often tell me:
But at UNICEF you must be informed? To that, I answer: If it is
bad news, the moment I walk into my office everyone would be talking
about it, and asking whether I have heard the news?I seldom hear peo-
ple coming in and tell me Oh, this is the good news

101
Prijateljsto dugo sedamdeset godina / Seventy year long friendship
Kakvi su vai utisci o Srbiji?
Prve impresije koje sam stekla u Srbiji su veoma prijatne i nezabo-
ravne, a najvee bogatstvo predstavlja narod, koji je veoma gostolju-
biv, prijateljski i ljubazan. Srbija je predivna zemlja, veoma gostolju-
bivih gradova, bogatog istorijskog naslea i kulturne tradicije. Centar
Beograda je veoma ivahan, u svakom trenutkuo die prijatnom atmos-
ferom. Kalemegdan je izuzetno mesto, zbog pria koje uva iza svojih
drevnih zidina i utvrenja, kao i zbog jedinstvene lepot pejzaa.
Velika mi je ast to sam imenovana za Ambasadorku u Srbiji, jer
uprkos tome to pripadamo razliitim kontinentima, imamo drugaiju
klimu i jezik, kubanski i srpski narod su povezani istorijskim pri-
jateljskim vezama, zbog ega se od svog dolaska u Beograd oseam
kao da sam u svojoj zemlji.
ta je najvanije u graenju odnosa dveju zemalja?
Bilateralni odnosi izmeu Srbije i Kube su tradicionalno odlini, i
tako je oduvek bilo. Prole godine, 2013, obeleena je 70. godinjica
od uspostavljanja diplomatskih odnosa izmeu dveju zemalja, i obe
prestonice su upriliile razne aktivnosti povodom ovog znaajnog ju-
bileja. Predsednici Kube i Srbije su se susreli u gradu Santjago de
ile, januara prole godine, u okviru I Samita EvropskeUnije i Zajed-
nice latinoamerikih i karipskih drava (CELAC). U zvaninoj poseti
Kubi boravili su Ministar spoljnih poslova i Ministarka zdravlja Re-
publike Srbije. Tokom tih poseta zakljueno je da postoje mogunosti
za proirenje saradnje u oblasti javnog zdravlja i farmaceutske indus-
trije, i da je potrebno nastaviti rad na konkretnim ciljevima.
Po vaem misljenju, koliko srbi znaju o kulturi i tradiciji
Kube?
Srpski narod u sutini vai za odlinog poznavaoca kulturne tradicije
i istorije Kube, postoji most velikog prijateljstva i solidarnosti izmeu
naih zemalja koji datiraju od davnina i prenose se sa generacije na
generaciju. Stanovnitvo u celini, ukljuujui i omladinu, pokazuje
veliko zanimanje za Kubu i pria o mojoj zemljis a puno ljubavi. Veo-
ma je prijatno primetiti simpatije srpskog naroda prema kubanskom
narodu, koje su, naravno, uzvraene.
ta bi nam vi preporuila da obavezno vidimo na Kubi, ta
je to to Kuba nudi turistima?
Kuba nudi turistima mnoge mogunosti, poev od Havane, i ari
njenog istorijskog i kolonijalnog dela, njenih muzeja, obnovljenih
drevnih trgova, zidina tvrave Moro i Kabanja (El Morro y La Ca-
baa), koji me podseaju na Kalemegdan, ulicama sa kaldrmom koji
odaju utisak kao da se vreme zaustavilo u nekom prolom veku, tradi-
cionalnih restorana gde je mogue probati kubanske koktele Mohito
i Daikiri, kao i tradicionalnu kubansku hranu; preko hotela koji su
izgraeni pre vie od jednog veka i nalaze se u centru prestonice,
istorijskog Kabarea Tropikana (Cabaret Tropicana), lepote njenih
plaa toplih i prozirnih voda, od Varadera do rajskih ostrva u raznim
krajevima zemlje; istorijskog grada Santjago de Kuba (Santiago de
Cuba) na istoku zemlje, drevne provincije Kamagvej (Camagey),
grada Santa Klara (Santa Clara) sa impresivnim spomen kompleksom
posveenim e Gevari, do Trinidada, koji je sasvojim istorijskim cen-
trom grada upisan na UNESKO-vu Listu svetske batine 1988, zbog
svoje arhitekture i lepote.

What are your first impressions of Serbia?
My first impressions of Serbia are very pleasant and unforgettable,
and its greatest wealth is the people, with their hospitality, friendliness
and kindness. Serbia is a beautiful country, with very hospitable
cities as well asa rich historic heritage and cultural tradition. The
Center of Belgrade is very vivid, giving away a pleasant atmosphere
at any moment. Kalemegdan is an extraordinary place, for the stories
preserved behind its ancient walls and forts, as well as for its unique
and beautiful landscape. I am greatly honored to be appointed asan
Ambassador in Serbia. Although we come from different continents,
have different climates and languages, Cuban and Serbian peoples have
historic and friendly connections, which makes my arrival to Belgrade
as a homecoming.
What is the most important thing in building bridges in a
relationship?
Bilateral relations between Serbia and Cuba are traditionally excellent, as
they have always been. Last year, 2013, we marked the 70th anniversary
since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries,
and both capitals organized various activities for the occasion of this
important jubilee. In January of last year, the Presidents of Cuba and
Serbia met in Santiago de Chile at the Summit of European Union and
Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). Also,
the official visit was paid for by the Minister of Internal Affairs and the
Minister of Health of the Republic of Serbia. During the visits, it was
concluded that there are possibilities for expansion of cooperation in the
areas of public health and the pharmaceutical industry, and that it was
important to continue working on specific goals.
In your opinion, how much do the people from Serbia know
about Cuban traditional culture and history?
Serbian people are considered to know the cultural tradition and history
of Cuba. There is a bridge of great friendship and solidarity between
our countries, dating back in history and being passed on to the next
generations. Citizens in general, including youth, show a great deal of
interest in Cuba, and speak about my country with plenty of love. It
is very nice to notice the sympathy that Serbian people show towards
Cubans, which is, of course, reciprocated.
What could you recommend for us to see, that Cuba offers
for tourists?
Cuba offers tourists a great deal of possibilities, starting in Havana, with
the magic of its historic and colonial parts, its museums, reconstructed
ancient squares, walls of the fortress el Morro and La Cabaa, that remind
me of Kalemegdan, with their cobbled streets, standing as if time has
stopped in some past century; traditional restaurants where it is possible
to taste Cuban cocktails Mojito and Daiquiri, as well as the traditional
Cuban food; over to the hotels that were built up over a century ago,
located in the center of the capital, historic Cabaret Tropicana, the beauty
of the beaches with warm and clear waters, from Varadero to the heavenly
islands in different parts of the country; the historic city Santiago de Cuba
to the east of the country, ancient province Camagey, the city of Santa
Clara with its impressive memorial center dedicated to Che Guevara, then
to Trinidad, included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1988 for
the beauty and architecture of the historic city center.
Koliko se razlikuje evropska kultura od kubanske, i ta je to
sto najvie privlai srbe u vaoj zemlji?
Razlika izmeu evropske i kulture moje zemlje je preva shodno u
karipskoj kulturi, ritmovima, salsi, tradicionalom folkloru, tipinoj
kubanskoj hrani, tropskoj klimi, jer na Kubi vlada veno leto. U de-
cembru, januaru, februaru i martu, znaajno raste broj evropskih turista
koji putuju na najvee ostrvoAntila, da bi uivali na njihovim plaama
i odmarali se u ivopisnim gradovima. U prethodne dve godine Kubu
je posetilo vie od 2000 turista iz Srbije.
ta vam je bilo najtee da se naviknete na ivot u
Beogradu?
Po dolasku u Srbiju, veoma sam se brzo navikla -na nain ivota u
Beogradu, koji je jako slian onome na Kubi jer ga odlikuje radost,
jednostavnost naroda, jedinstvenog u Evropi, njegova istorija i njegovi
ivopisni predeli. Postoji stara izreka koja kae (prevedeno bukvalno)
Gde god da ode, radi ono to vidi, tj. Kad si u Rimu, budi Rimlja-
nin, a ispostavilo se da je u Srbiji to vrlo lako postii jer nije potrebno
privikavanje da bi se ivelo i radilo ovde. Za mene je veliki izazov
da nauim srpski jezik, da bih mogla neposredno da komuniciram sa
ljudima, iako skoro svakodnevno sreem ljude razliitih uzrasta koji
govore panski. Srdanost Srba ini da se uveko seam kao kod svoje
kue. Za mene koja sam po prvi put Ambasadorka, Srbija je bila na-
jbolja opcija u mojoj diplomatskoj karijeri.

What is so much different from European culture, that
could be stimulant(I would say attractive) for the Serbian to
wish to explore Your country?I would rephrase this: What
is different from European culture, which could attract a
Serbian to explore your country?
The difference between European culture and the culture of my
home country is primarily in Caribbean culture, rhythm, salsa,
traditional folklore, typical Cuban cuisine, tropical climate, as Cuba
has a continual summer season. During December, January, February
and March, there is an increase in the number of European tourists
travelling to the largest island of Antilles, to enjoy their beaches and
spend their vacations in picturesque cities. In the past two years, Cuba
was visited by over 2000 tourists from Serbia.
What was the most difficult for you to get used to when you
came to Serbia?
Upon my arrival to Serbia, I easily adjusted to the lifestylein Belgrade,
which is very similar to the one in Cuba, due to the joy, simplicity
of people, unique to Europe, its history and picturesque landscapes.
There is a saying (literally translated) Wherever you go, do what you
see, meaning When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It turns out it
is easy to do in Serbia, because you do not need a special adjustment
to live and work here. One of my greatest challenges is to learn the
Serbian language, to be able to communicate with people directly,
although,almost daily I meet people of different ages who speak
Spanish. The cordiality of the Serbian people makes me feel like I am
home at all times. For me, the first time Ambassador, Serbia has been
the best option in my diplomatic career.

Stradun
mesto na kom je vreme stalo
Kameni put do raja
Ako si pola spavat, bila ti laka no
druina naa s pjesmom zakantat e ti do...
ako su nekad pevali dubrovaki trubaduri. Dubrovnik, kakav su oni nekada slikali notama,

T nije se mnogo promenio. Zadrao je svoj autentini duh prolosti gradski oci nisu podlegli
trendu modernih hotela, pa grad izgleda gotovo isto kao u prolosti. Dubrovnik je i sada
poznat po pesmi, bogatoj istoriji, turistima i Stradunu. Stradun je glavna ulica u starom
gradskom jezgru, iji naziv potie od Mleana i podrugljivo je ime za veliku ulicu, a naziv
Placa nastao je od latinske rei platea, to znai ulica. Na mestu dananjeg Straduna, u prolosti je bio
movarni teren koji je razdvajao Ragusu od Dubrave. Nasipavanjem movare, stanovnitvo je stvorilo
grad u 9. veku. Stradun se nalazi izmeu dvoja gradskih vrata (Vrata od Pila i Vrata od Ploa). Na
poetku i na kraju Straduna nalaze se i dve fontane (Velika i Mala Onofrijeva esma), kao i dva zvonika
(Gradski zvonik i zvonik franjevake crkve i samostana).

Stradun
a place where time stopped
The stone way to paradise
If you went to sleep, have a good night
Our troupe with a song will come to calm you tonight
roubadours from Dubrovnik used to sing this kind of songs. Dubrovnik has not changed

T much, since it was painted with musical notes. It kept the authentic spirit of the past,
because the fathers of the city did not succumb to the trend of modern hotels and the city
looks almost the same as in the past. Dubrovnik is famous nowadays for its songs, rich
history, tourists and Stradun, the main street in the old town. The Venetians gave it its name,
which mockingly depicts the main street, while the name Placa comes from the Latin word Platea,
which means street. At the site of the present Stradun street, there used to be a swampy terrain
separating Ragusa from Dubrava. The swamps were filled in the 9th century and the population created
a city. Stradun is located between the two city gates (the Pile Gate and the Ploe Gate). There are two
fountains, one at the beginning and the other one at the end of the street (The large Fountain and the
Small Onofrios Fountain), as well as the two bell towers (The City Bell Tower and the the Bell Tower of
the Franciscan Church and Monastery).

Izmeu palate Sponza i crkve sv. Vlaha, uzdie se Orland-
ov stup, najstarija sauvana javna skulptura u Dubrovni-
ku i jedna od najlepih znamenitosti. Simbol je slobode i
dubrovake nezavisnosti. Nainjen je u kamenu, a prikazuje srednjo-
vekovnog viteza u oklopu, koji dri ma i tit. Prema legendi, junak
Orlando (Rolando) je spasio Dubrovnik od Saracena, tako to ih je
potukao kod ostrva Lokruma. Tako su graani, u znak zahvalnosti,
podigli ovaj stup. Danas se kod Orlandovog stupa odvija ceremoni-
jalna priredba otvaranja dubrovakog letnjeg festivala, a na stup se
die zastava sa natpisom Libertas, simbolinim za Dubrovnik.
Stradun je poploan kamenim blokovima, uglaanim do
sjaja drvenog parketa, pa ga nazivaju i ulica salon. Svoju
namenu dobio je u 12. veku, a dananji izgled dobio je nakon velikog
zemljotresa 1667. godine, kad je veliki broj graevina bio sruen.
Starije slike Dubrovnika nam pokazuju kako zgrade na Stradunu nisu
imale tipian izgled kao danas, mnoge su imale arkade kao palata
Sponza, a neke su bile i raskonije ukraene. Dananji izgled zgrada
na Stradunu potie iz razdoblja posle zemljotresa 1667. godine, kada
je Statutom Dubrovake Republike bio odreen nain izgradnje stam-
benih zgrada: u prizemlju je uvek bio trgovako-poslovni prostor s
vratima na koleno, a u veliki magazin se ulazilo iz sporedne ulice.

Orlandos Column is located between the Sponza Palace and
Saint Blaise Church. It is the oldest preserved public sculp-
ture in Dubrovnik and one of its most beautiful sights.
It is a symbol of the freedom and independence of city. It is made of
stone and depicts a knight in armor, holding a sword and a shield. Ac-
cording to the legend, a hero called Orlando (Rolando), helped Du-
brovnik in its liberation fight against the Saracens, defeating them at
Lokrum island. The citizens of Dubrovnik erected this is column as a
sign of gratitude to the hero. Nowadays the opening ceremony of the
Dubrovnik Summer Festival is held at Orlandos Column and a flag
with the symbolic words Libertas is raised on the Column.
Stradun is paved with stone blocks, so polished that they
shine like a wooden parquet floor. That is why Stradun is often
called the Gallery-Street. It was given its current use in the I2th
century and it took its present appearance after the great earthquake of
1667, when a large number of buildings were demolished. Old Dubrovnik
photos show how buildings on Stradun did not have the typical look that
they have nowadays. Many of them had arcades, like the Sponza Palace,
while some of them were even more decorated. Todays appearance of the
buildings on Stradun street comes from the period after the earthquake of
1667, when the Statute of the Republic of Dubrovnik established the way

Na prvom spratu je bio stambeni prostor, a na drugom su bile sobe.

stambenih i ostalih zgrada. Naredbom da se kuhinje presele u potk-
rovlja spreavalo se irenje poara. Stradun se zavrava trgom Lua, were always located in the attic. In fact, after the earthquake, a fire broke

nika unutar starog gradskog jezgra, zbog ega predstavlja omiljeno
etalite metana i turista. Do Straduna se najbre dolazi kroz za-
padna vrata u grad - kroz Pile. Na samom ulazu na Stradun se nalazi
i Onofrijeva velika esma fontana koju je izradio napuljski graditelj
Onofrio dela Kava, kao simbol zavretka izgradnje gradskog vodo-
voda, kojim je Dubrovnik crpio izvorsku vodu iz 12 kilometra udaljene
Rijeke dubrovake. Ovaj vodovod je i danas ukljuen u novu vodo-
vodnu mreu. Danas fontana ima 16 isklesanih maskerona za izliv
vode. Ona je omiljeno sastajalite mladih Dubrovana i turista koji se
odmaraju i okrepljuju sveom vodom u vruim letnjim danima.
Danas se Stradun koristi za sveanu procesiju za vreme

smatra jednim od deset najboljih novogodinjih provoda
u svetu.

Mesto na kom je vreme stalo / A place where time stopped
to build residential buildings. On the ground floor there were commer-
cial premises with store windows and the main warehouse was accessed
from a side street. On the first floor there were residential premises and
on the second floor there were rooms. The kitchen and similar spaces
out and destroyed a large number of residential and other buildings.
Fires were prevented by placing the kitchen in the attic. Stradun ends at
Lua Square in front of the City Bell Tower and it encompasses a large
number of important monuments inside the old town. That is why; it is
the favorite promenade of both, locals and foreign tourists. Onofrios
Fountain is at the entrance of the Pile Gate. It was built by the Neapoli-
tan architect Onofrio dela Kava to celebrate the conclusion of the city
aqueduct, by which water was brought from the Dubrovnik river located
12 km away. This aqueduct is still connected to the modern water supply
network. The fountain has 16 carved gargoyles, from which water flows.
It is the favorite meeting place for young people of Dubrovnik, as well as
for tourists resting and refreshing themselves in the fresh water during
the hot summer days.
Nowadays, Stradun is used for the ceremonial procession
during the festival of Saint Blaise. Sradun has been
proclaimed among the 10 best destinations in the world
for the New Years eve.

I ove godine, kukuruz e biti posejan na oko 17.000 hektara. Razlog za

Agriculture is the most important economical activity in the
municipality. Over 60% of the population works in the field
of agriculture as primary or secondary activity.
There are 36,368 hectares of agricultural land, representing 89,33% of
the territory of the Municipality. Out of the total surface of agricultural
land, 92.63% is farmland. Soil quality is remarkable, because 82% is
black land with excellent morphological and chemical characteristics,
completely suitable for agricultural production. The largest portion of the
farmland consists in plowed fields and gardens, used in the cultivation
of cereals, industrial crops, vegetables and forage crops. Most of the
agricultural land is in private hands, while less than 3000 hectares land is
state-owned. The municipality has around 3,400 registered family farms,
which represent the main factors of agricultural production. According to
the preliminary results of the Agricultural Census of 2012, the average
size of such holdings is about 5 hectares. In Kovaica there have been
registered over 40 companies, agricultural cooperatives and corporate
bodies engaged in primary agriculture. These entities are the backbone
of the farmers supply with raw materials (seeds, fertilizers, plant
protection etc.), which are necessary for agricultural production. The
above mentioned legal entities also purchase manufactured agricultural
products.
The most important crop in Kovaica municipality is corn,
which has been the leading crop in the region for decades.
Also this year corn will be planted on 17,000 hectares. The reason
is that corn can be stored in barns until selling prices are favorable.
The second most important crop is sunflower, which will be planted
on about 6,000 hectares. Sunflower production is significantly above
the average in Vojvodina and it is the most productive crop. This facts
supports a larger cultivation of this product in the future. According to
area for planting soybeans is the cadastral commune of Debeljaa,
where land is more suitable for the production of this crop. Forage
crops will be sown on a few hundred of hectares, while few people
will plant rapeseed. We should mention that in the last few years sugar
beet has been sown on about 3.000 hectares. This crop requires a lot
of knowledge and investment, as well as suitable soil conditions, deep
plowing and protection during the initial stage). Led by interest, sugar
beet producers often sell their produce to neighboring sugar factories,
Optina Kovaica je u 2012. godini velika sredstva uloila u
rekonstrukciju pijaca po u naseljenim mestima, obdanita,

Izgradnja kanalizacije u naseljenom mestu Kovaica nalazi se u
zavrnioj fazi. Takoe, znaajna je inicijativa Optine kod povodom
organizovanja raznih manifestacija (Kovaiki oktobar, Crepajaki

U partnerstvu Instituta Tami i Optine Kovaica, realizovan je
projekat pod nazivom Prodaja povra poznatog porekla i kontro-
lisanog kvaliteta na tezgama posebno obeleenim za tu namenu.

Na taj nain da stimuliemo proizvodnju razvoj povrtarstva na
teritoriji optine Kovaica. Optina je, od 2012. godine, uvela
poljouvarsku slubu, koja je oopremljenau sa motorima i terenskim
vozilima, dvogledima i fotoaparatima. Pored svoje primarne funk-
cije spreavanja kraa na poljima, ova sluba ima i preventivnu
ekoloku ulogu ekologa, da kontroliu da se nee bacanje otpada ili
da se ne onemoguava oruanje atarskih puteva.

and therefore there are smaller quantities of sugar beet for the Kovaica
sugar factory. That means that the production of sugar beet depends
on market conditions and the purchase price that was agreed with the
farmers. We should also mention that in the municipality of Kovaica
vegetable crops cover around 1.200 hectares of farmland. Potatoes
are sown on around 400 hectares, carrots on 300 hectares, greens on
200 hectares, cabbage on 150 hectares, beans on about 100 hectares of
beans, while orchards cover about 43 hectares, which is only 0.11% of
the farmland.
In 2012 Kovaica Municipality invested substantial resources
in the reconstruction of markets, kindergartens, schools and
the building of the Social Work Center.
The construction of the sewerage in Kovaica settlement is in its final
stage. The Municipality has an important initiative in the organization
of various events (the Kovaica October Celebration, The Crepaja
Coach, the Watermelon Festival in Idvor etc.).In partnership with the
Tami Institute, Municipality of Kovaica, implemented a project called
Sale of Vegetables with Known Origin and Quality Control on Stalls
Specially Marked for that Purpose. It lasted one year and involved
the participation of 20 farmers from the municipality of Kovaica. The
project enjoyed a positive reaction from end customers/consumers
that buy such products on the market, because they had the chance of
buying controlled products, treated with chemical substances that are
not harmful for the organism, fully confident that shelf-life terms were
respected. Consumers preferred to buy food from those stalls and that
certainly increased the interest of farmers in this kind of agriculture.
That will determine them to participate in the project in larger numbers;
if there will be the means and possibility to do so, stimulating thus
vegetable production in the municipality of Kovaica. In 2012, the
Municipality organized the Field Inspection Service, which is equipped
with motorcycles, off-road vehicles, binoculars and cameras. In addition
to its primary function of preventing theft in the fields, this Service
has a preventive ecological role, controlling that no waste is illegally
thrown and that regional roads are not plowed.
In the nearby future, we expect that windmills will be
installed in the fields of Kovaica Municipality, thanks to the
investments made by the Belgian company Elektrowinds.

sudbine. Mladi indoneanski oficir stigao je na specijalizaciju u Za-
greb i upoznao Makedonku koja je od tree godine ivela u Beogradu.
Zbog novih pravila svoje domovine, po kojima nije dozvoljen brak sa
strankinjom, odluio je da ostane u tadanjoj SFRJ.
U Zagrebu je tata studirao meunarodno pomorsko pravo da bi se,
u nekom trenutku, prebacio u ambasadu, gde je upoznao moju ma-
jku. Iao sam u indoneansku kolu do treeg razreda, a kada se
zatvorila, preao sam u O Vladislav Ribnikar. Bio sam atrakcija
mali, crn, sa slabim znanjem srpskog jezika. Ali, brzo sam se pri-
lagodio, nauio jezik i stekao prijatelje za ceo ivot.
Iako se porodica navikla na Beograd, 1997. godine Douin otac je
dobio posao u Indoneziji. Meutim, Doua se teko razboleo od
krvave groznice i, im je izaao iz bolnice, majka je traila da se
vrate u Beograd. Naravno, u oevu domovinu odlazi kad god mu se
ukae prilika.
Bio sam tri puta po tri meseca u Indoneziji. Tata je sa Jave, iz
grada Pati, gde imam mnogobrojnu rodbinu. Bio sam, naravno, i
u Dakarti. To je specifian grad, dnevno se u njemu zatekne i do

far foreigners remain faithful. Although, Joshua Jozefat
Arjono cannot be looked upon as a foreigner although
such conclusion can be drown considering his name and
appearance. This black-skinned young man was born of a mixed marriage
of Indonesian man and Macedonian woman. He is fluent in Serbian,
proudly says for himself that he is Vracarac (resident of Vracar), a student
of the Ribnikar School and the Third High School and a graduate student
from the Faculty of Organizational Sciences. He works in the consular
department of the Indonesian embassy, he spends his spare time engaged
in music, he drives rollers at Ada Lake, he jogs in Kosutnjak, goes out to
the night clubs...He was born in Belgrade by virtue of circumstances or
fate. A young Indonesian officer arrived in Zagreb to earn specialization,
met Macedonian girl who lived in Belgrade since she was three years old
and due to the new rules of his homeland that forbid to marry a foreigner,
he decided to stay in the former Yugoslavia.
My dad studied the international maritime law in Zagreb and at cer-
tain point he was employed by the embassy where he met my mother. I
went to the Indonesian School until the third grade but after its clos-
ing I went to Vladislav Ribnikar School. Back then I was kind of
an attraction, a small, black-skinned boy, with a weak knowledge of
the Serbian language. But I quickly got used to it. I have learned the
language and made friends for life.
Although the family was well adapted to Belgrade, in 1997 Joshuas
father got a job in Indonesia. However, Joshua got very sick of fever
and as soon as he got out of the hospital his mother asked to return to
Belgrade. Of course, he goes to his fathers homeland whenever he
has a chance.

parkova uopte nema.
Ima mnogo slinosti i razlika izmeu indoneanskog i srpskog naroda,
iako ih dele desetine hiljada kilometara.
Indoneziji se stariji veoma potuju, roditeljima se persira, to je u
duhu jezika. Ovde je sve oputenije. Ljudi su direktni, ne smee ti se

lako se sklapaju prijateljstva.

Osim to je po mentalitetu pravi Srbijanac, to je i po izboru hrane.
Voli sarmu, peenje, rotilj i jedino mu nedostaje to to ovde nita nije
dovoljno ljuto za njegov ukus.
Probao sam papriku u Pirotu i u ostalim delovima Srbije poznatim
po ovom povru i nigde ne mogu da pronaem dovoljno ljuto jelo.
Naravno, kad sam u prilici, volim da jedem i indoneansku hranu.
Voleo bi da pokua da ivi u Dakarti. Tamo je, tvrdi, lake nai pos-

dobro proao zbog toga to je drugaiji.
Tata se toliko navikao na Beograd da mi, kad ga pitam da li bi se
vratio u Indoneziju, odgovara da mu ne pada na pamet. A ja bih
voleo da pokuam da ivim u Dakarti, to ne znai da bih zaboravio

Delegacijama koje stiu iz Indonezije najzanimljivija je
srpska priroda. Nai ljudi najvie poseuju Bali, iako Doua
otkriva da ima mnogo lepih Ii istijih mesta.
- Preporuujem mesta koja nisu izvikana,. Ovde samo
znamo za Bali. Njihove zvezde idu na Lombok. Tamo
je mirno, napravljen je luksuzni kompleks, istije je.
Za ronjenje je dobar ro ostrvo Radjea Anpat. Da biste
obili sva interesantna mesta u Indoneziji, potrebne su
Vam najmanje dve godine.
Ive been in Indonesia three times for three months. My dad is from
Java, the city of Pati, and there I have a lot of relatives. Of course, I
was also in Jakarta. Jakarta is a unique city, there is up to 20 mil-
lion people during the day, it is very crowded, shopping malls are five
times larger than those in Belgrade. They have the worlds most fa-
mous brands, apartments, pools, amusement parks. On the other hand
Jakarta lacks the nature and there are no parks at all.
The two nations have a lot of differences but also similarities although
separated by the tens of thousands of kilometers.
In Indonesia, the elderly are highly respected, when children talk to
their parents they make TV distinction in language, it is in the spirit
of the language. Here everything is more relaxed. People are direct, no
fake smiles. Of course, there are also similarities. Both are constantly
smiling, it is easy to make friends.
In Serbia, he says, you can have fun in a better and cheaper way. Ev-
erywhere you can go on foot and the larger cities also have a plenty of
nature.
I lived in England, traveled everywhere but so much fun I have found
only in Serbia. We take delegations to the tour around Belgrade and they
are delighted by the proximity of sites, with the fact that the city lives on
rivers and has numerous parks, a few large. They like Kalemegdan For-
tress, Knez Mihailova Street even though the main streets in their cities
are larger and more vibrant. They enjoy cruising on our rivers.
Joshua grew up at Slavija but equally likes Banjica where he lives now,
he also loves Savamala and bars around Brankos bridge...
I grew up in the city center but I like the other parts of Belgrade. I walk
my St. Bernardine dog through the Banjica forest , I jog in Kosutnjak
forest, and I drive rollers at Ada Lake, going out to clubs around the
Brankos bridge. Four years ago I played in various places, from ex-
Yu music to folk music.
Besides being a true Serbian by mentality, he is also a true Serbian when
it comes to the food. He loves cabbage rolls, roasted meat, grill, but here
lacks spicy food to his taste.
I tasted peppers in Pirot and other parts known by the vegetables and
I found nowhere a sufficiently spicy dish. Of course, when I have the
opportunity I like to eat Indonesian food, too.
I would love to try to live in Jakarta. It is easier to find a job there, he
claims. He sees this as a future challenge and an opportunity because, he
believes, he would do well there because he is different.
My dad is so accustomed to Belgrade that when I ask him if he would
return to Indonesia, he responds that he is not even thinking about
it. And Id like to try to live in Jakarta, which does not mean that I
will forget Belgrade. I could never leave my hometown for good. That
would be very difficult to me.
Delegations from Indonesia are most interested in the nature
in Serbia. Our people mostly visit Bali, although Joshua re-
veals that there are many more beautiful and cleaner places.
- I recommend places which are less popular, here we only
know of Bali. Their stars are going to Lombok. That is a
calm place with the luxury complex and it is cleaner. Rad-
jenpat is good for diving. If you want to visit all interesting
places in Indonesia, you will need at least two years.

veka, stanovali u ovom delu grada. Drutvo
su im pravili pesnici, pisci i slikari sa kojima
su se druili u veernjim satima, ispijali vino i uivali
u gurmanlucima skadarlijskih kafana. Inspiracija za
mnoga umetnika dela nastajala je ba ovde, esto i
u ranim jutarnjim satima. Poznato je da glumci pred
predstavu ne jedu. Zato, kada se zavesa spusti, odlaze
u oblinju kafanu da veeraju i sumiraju utiske. Tako
je Skadarlija poela da ivi nou. U boemskoj etvrti
nikle su kafane simbolinih imena od kojih mnoge rade
i danas.
Sve vie turista poseuje Skadarliju upravo zbog njenog autentinog

kojih je sauvano samo jo nekoliko. Tipina je kua iz druge polovine

kadarlija is the bohemian quarter of Belgrade.
Due to the proximity of the National Theatre,
many actors in the late 19th and the beginning
of the 20th century lived in this part of city.
Many poets, writers and painters kept them
company gathering together in the evenings, drinking
wine, enjoying gourmet food of the Skadarlijas taverns,
hanging out. The inspiration for many artworks was
conceived right there, often in the early morning hours.
It is known that the actors do not eat before performance.
Therefore, when the curtains are brought down, actors
go to a nearby tavern to have dinner and summarize
the impressions. In that way Skadarlija started to live at
night. Taverns with the symbolic names sprung up over
the bohemian quarter, many of which are still working.
More and more tourists are visiting Skadarlija due to its authentic ap-
pearance that still remains. The street was crowded with the small hous-
es, only few of them have survived. A typical house from the second
half of the 19th century is the tavern Tri sesira (Three Hats), gathering
spot of the old bohemians. The interior of the taverns almost remained
unchanged or is adorned with old time photos, there is a poorly illumi-
nated paving stone that remained from the time of Ottoman Empire, in
modern times only embedded in concrete.
The following verse is inspired by the Skadarlijas paving stone:
At night,
in the small hours,
down the SKADARLIJA walking back,
could actually break your neck!

Na sredini mahale, ispred kasnije podignute kue ure Jakia, a kao
jedini trag prolih vremena, stajao je samo akvadukt Bulbuderskog
vodovoda sa 14 lukova. To je u 19. veku bila Skadar kapija sa
Skadarskom esmom. Tada je sredinom ulice tekao potok, koji je za
vreme jakih kia bio veoma opasan. U beogradskoj tampi iz 19. veka,
zabeleen je neobian dogaaj: U Skadarskoj ulici, idui Maloj pivari,
bee tako velika voda, prilikom preksinone kie, da je nekima dosta
znatne tete uinila. Jedna ena umalo to nije platila glavom. Marija
Nikole Jovanovia, staklara, izala je na ulicu ba onda kad je bujica
silno navalila. U tom trenutku voda je dohvati u svoj vrtlog i odnese ak
u potok nie Male pivare, odakle je susedi s tekom mukom izbavie.
U drugoj polovini 19. veka, cigansko naselje polako iezava, a
nekadanje kolibe smenjuju solidnije kue, koje naseljavaju zanatlije,
ugostitelji i sitni inovnici. Kue su graene spontano, pod jakim
istonjakim uticajem, a dvorita su bila povezana kapijama, kroz
koje se moglo uvek pretrati kod komije. U ulici je postojao obiaj
gajenja lijandera posaenih u drvenim buradima. To je bila neka
vrsta ograde kojom su stanovnici Skadarlije povlaili prostore ispred
kua u prijatan hlad, a ulici davali jedinstvenu atmosferu. Meu
skadarlijskim kuercima, polovinom 19. veka, uporedo se zainje i
budui industrijski kompleks, u poetku Male, a kasnije Bajlonijeve
pivare. Skadarliju svakog dana poseti oko 20.000 ljudi. Strancima je
zanimljiva zbog svog autentinog, boemskog duha, Beograanima
zato to Skadarskom ulicom stiu do druge po veliini gradske pijace

odmore, a Dorolcima predstavlja idealno mesto za komijsku priu
ili etnju ljubimaca.
Skadarlijske kafane: Tri eira, Dva jelena, Ima dana i
Dva bela goluba, s prolea i jeseni, uglavnom vikendom, ugoste i
brojne svatove. Skadarlija je omiljeno mesto beogradskih mladenaca
i njihovih gostiju. Muziari sviraju starogradske pesme, gosti uivaju
u batama prepunim prirodnog cvea. Nekada je Skadarlijom etala
gatara Ljubica, a danas goste zabavlja, zanimljivim priama vezanim
za ovaj deo Beograda, skadarlijska dama.
Preureenje Skadarlije poelo je 1966. godine, po projektu
arhitekte Ugljee Bogunovia. U nastojanju da se ovaj deo
starog Beograda sauva, izvrena je rekonstrukcija i revitalizacija
Skadarske ulice.Cilj je bio da se ovom specifinom ambijentu vrate
osobenosti koje je nekada imao, da se oivi tradicija dopunjena novim,
savremenim sadrajima. Uklonjen je saobraaj, podignuta je esma,
vraena je stara kaldrma, fenjeri i kandelabri, dograene se kafane
Tri eira, Dva jelena i Skadarlija, preureeni su enterijeri kafana Ima
dana, Zlatan bokal i Dva bela goluba. Sedamdesetih godina, Skadarlija
se pobratimila sa pariskom boemskom etvrti Monmartrom.
Na Skadarliju se danas naslanja i nekadanja Beogradska industrija
piva, tu su pekare, poslastiarnica,galerije, kafii, trni centar i, na
kraju ulice, Sebilj esma ista onakva kakva postoji na Baariji, a

In the middle of the street, in front of the later built house of Djura
Jaksic, as the only trace of ancient times, Bulbuder aqueduct with 14
arches stood. In the 19th century that was Skadar gate with fountain.
Back then the stream run through the middle of the street and it was
very dangerous during heavy rains. In the Belgrade newspapers from
the 19th century an unusual event was reported: In the Skadarska
Street, going towards the Small Brewery, due to heavy rains from
two nights ago, the amount of water was so huge that caused some
significant damages. One woman was nearly killed. Marija, wife of
Nikola Jovanovic, the glassmaker, came out on the street just when
the stream rushed with tremendous force. At that point the water
caught her in its vortex and carried all the way into the stream below
the Small Brewery, where the neighbors rescued her with great dif-
ficulty.
In the second half of the 19th century the Gypsy settlement
slowly fades away, and the former shacks were replaced with more
solid houses, inhabited by artisans, caterers and low-ranked clerks.
The houses were built spontaneously, under the strong oriental in-
fluence and courtyards were connected through gates, through which
one could always run to the neighbors. There was a custom of grow-
ing oleander planted in the wooden barrels. This was a kind of fence
which residents of Skadarlija used for transforming the space in front
of their houses into a pleasant shade, that gave a unique atmosphere to
the street. Among small houses in Skadarlija in the mid 19th century,
at the same time the future industrial complex begun to appear, in
the beginning that was the Small Brewery later known as the Bajloni
Brewery. About 20,000 people visit Skadarlija every day. Foreigners
are interested in its authentic, bohemian spirit, Belgraders because the
Skadarska Street leads to the second largest city market Bajloni, pu-
pils in a nearby school because they spend their breaks there and for
the residents of Dorcol this is an ideal place for chatting with neigh-
bors or walking pets.
Skadarlijas taverns: Tri sesira (Three Hats), Dva jele-
na (Two Deer), Ima dana (There will be days), Dva bela
goluba (Two White Doves), also host numerous wedding guests
during the spring and fall, usually on weekends. For the newlyweds
and their guests Skadarlija is the favorite place in Belgrade. Musicians
play the old city songs, guests enjoy the gardens adorned with natural
flowers, once Ljubica the fortuneteller was walking around and today
the visitors are entertained by the interesting stories related to this part
of Belgrade told by the lady of Skadarlija.
The renovation of Skadarlija began in 1966, designed by ar-
chitect Ugljesa Bogunovic. In an effort to preserve this part of the
old Belgrade, the reconstruction and revitalization of Skadarska Street
was made. The aim was to recover the characteristics to this specific
ambiance, those that once had, to revive the tradition with new, mod-
ern facilities. The traffic was removed, the fountain was built, the old
stone paving was restored, as well as lanterns and candelabras, the
taverns Tri sesira (Three Hats), Dva Jelena (Two Deer) and Ska-
darlija were upgraded and interiors of the taverns Ima dana (There
will be days), Zlatni bokal (Golden Jug) and Dva bela goluba
(Two white doves) were redecorated. In the seventies the Skadarlija
made fraternity with the Parisian bohemian quarter Montmartre.
Next to the Skadarlija today lies the former Belgrade beer industry, there
are also bakeries, candy shops, galleries, cafes, shopping center and at
the end of the street the Sebilj fountain same as the one that exists in
Bascarsija, donated to Belgrade by the city of Sarajevo in 1989.

Za Javu kau da je kraljica
svih indoneanskih ostrva.
Iako nema plae Balija,
dungle Kalimantana,
udaljenost Papue, tradiciju
Sulavezija, klimu Sumatre,
Java je srce Indonezije
koje pulsira mnogo bre
i sa vie energije nego
bilo koje drugo ostrvo
u ogromnom arhipelagu
od preko 17.000. ostrva.
Indonezija, za mnoge,
jednostavno poinje
i zavrava sa na Javi
ava je najmanje meu ostrvima iz grupe velikih sundskih
J ostrva koju ine Sumatra, Sulavesi, Kalimantan i Papua.
Java jeste najmanje meu njima, ali je najnaseljenije, jer
od 247. miliona stanovnika koliko ih ivi u Indoneziji,
140. miliona ivi upravo na Javi, to ga ini ozbiljno pre-
naseljenim podrujem. Java ima vie stanovnika, od bilo kog drugog
ostrva na svetu i sa gotovo 1.000. stanovnika po kvadratnom kilo-
metru, ono je jedno od najgue naseljenih podruja na planeti.
Priroda na Javi je raznolika. Od dungle, preko savana i movara sa
mangrovama, kraterskih jezera, do niza vulkana od kojih su neki jo
veoma aktivni. Java, koja je gotovo u celosti vulkanskog porekla, je
deo takozvanog pacifikog vatrenog prstena koji se nalazi uz rub
itavog Pacifika. Na Javi se nalazi 38. vulkana koji su kao ipka od
vatrenih rubina nanizani po ostrvu. Neki od njih su pitomi, a drugi
razjareni giganti nepredvidive i preke naravi. Po svojim aktivnostima
najpoznatiji vulkani na Javi su Bromo i stratovulkan Merapi, jedan od
najopasnijih vulkana na svetu.
Brojni hramovi su dokaz veoma raznolike i raskone kulture i istorije,
iz pretkolonijalnog perioda, na ostrvu Java. Meu njima, svakako su
najznaajniji, budistiki hram Borobudur i hindusitiki Prambanan,
koji se nalaze u blizini Dogdakarte, pulsirajueg srca ovog ostrva.
Oba hrama spadaju u najvanije svetinje budistike i hinduistike re-
ligije na tlu Indonezije. Zbog ogromnog znaaja za itav svet, UNES-
CO je ova dva, velianstvena spomenika kulture, 1991. godine, uvrstio
u Svetsku kulturnu batinu. Za one koji se nau u Dogdakarti, pose-
ta ovim hramovima neto je to se mora. Imala sam sreu, da me je for anyone that travels to Yogyakarta. I was lucky to visit the island

People say that Java is the
queen of all the Indonesian
islands. Although it does not
have the beaches of Bali,
the jungles of Kalimantan,
the remoteness of Papua,
the tradition Sulawesi and
the climate of Sumatra, Java
is the heart of Indonesia,
which pulsates faster and
with more energy than any
other island in the vast
archipelago with more than
17,000 islands. For many
people, Indonesia simply
begins and ends with Java
ava is the smallest island of the Sunda archipelago, which
J consists of Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and Papua. Java
is the smallest island and the most densely populated. Out of
247 million Indonesians, 140 live in Java, which makes it a
seriously overcrowded area. Java has more inhabitants than
any other island in the world, with nearly 1,000. inhabitants per square
kilometer. In fact, it is one of the most densely populated areas on the
planet. The nature in Java is very diverse. It has everything, from jungles,
savannas and wetlands full of mangroves up to crater lakes and a series
of volcanoes, some of which are still very active. Java, which is almost
entirely of volcanic origin, is part of the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire,
which is located at the edge of the entire Pacific cost. Java has 38 volca-
noes that look like a lace of fire rubies strung across the island. Some of
them are tame, while others are enraged and unpredictable giants. Due to
their activity, the most well-known volcanoes of Java are Bromo and the
stratovolcano Merapi, one of the most dangerous in the world.
The numerous temples are evidence of a very diverse and rich cul-
ture and history from the pre-colonial period on the island of Java.
Among them, the most important are the Borobudur Buddhist Temple
and the Prambanan Hindu Temple, which are located near Yogyakarta,
the pulsating heart of the island. Both temples are considered among
the most important shrines of the Buddhist and Hindu religions in
the territory of Indonesia. Due to their great importance for the entire
world, UNESCO included these two magnificent monuments in the
World Heritage List in 1991. Visiting these two temples is a must
of Java in 2011.

Hramovi i opasni vulkani / Temples and dangerous volcanoes
HRAM FENIKS
Posebno sam se radovala poseti Borobuduru, jednom od uda starog
sveta, jer sam godinama ekala susret sa njim i uvenim stupama
zvonastog oblika koje su me dozivale k sebi, kad god bi bilo rei
o Indoneziji i ostrvu Java. Nekolicinu vanserijskih graevina raza-
sutih po itavom svetu kao to su: Mau Piku u Peruu, Kineski zid,
Stounhend u Britaniji, Akropolj u Grkoj, Tad Mahal u Indiji, Aja
Sofija u Turskoj, Angkor Vat u Kambodi, Bagan u Burmi, nazivaju
osmim udom sveta, a meu njima i Borobudur, monumentalni
budistiki hram, jedan od najveih i najznaajnijih u Jugoistonoj
Aziji. Sagraen u VIII veku nove ere, za vreme vladavine dinastije
Sailendra, hram je godinama bio duhovno sredite budizma na Javi
i centar oko koga su se okupljali hodoasnici, meutim do danas,
funkcija ovog hrama uglavnom nije poznata.
Napustivi uskomeanu Dogdakartu, sliku gradske vreve zamenila
je sveopta sporost, spokojniji ivotni ritam i krajolik sa prostranim
plantaama aja i pirinanim terasama, ije su mi nijanse i tonovi
zelenog pavorka, navukle sanak na oi. Iz dremea me je trgao neiji
duboki uzdah, upuen vulkanu Merapi, iji obrisi su se pojavili, a
ubrzo za njim i Borobudur, koji je iz dubine mojih plua izmamio
snaan uzdah. Najzad, posle toliko godina ekanja, predamnom je u
svoj svojoj lepoti, stajao vanvremenski simbol univerzuma i savreno
delo ljudskih ruku, njegovo velianstvo Borobudur. Stojei ispred
njega kao izgubljeno dete, uverila sam se da od pogleda na Borobu-
dur, zaista zastaje dah i da on u svakom smislu te rei zasluuje
strahopotovanje. Ne bez razloga, jer Borobodur nije samo hram, on
je magijsko i energetsko mesto na javi i u snu.
Hram je sagraen na breuljku u bogatoj i plodnoj dolini Kedu, na
uu reka Elo i Progo i okruen je brdima Menoreh i sa ak etiri vul- confluence of the Elo and the Progo rivers, surrounded by the Menoreh
kana: Merapi, Merbabu, Sumbing i Sindoro, svojim dobroiniteljima
i ruiteljima. Prema verovanju Javanaca, reke Elo i Progo simbolizuju
Gang i Jamun, reke iz doline Inda u Indiji, a ja nisam mogla da se
otrgnem utisku da Borobudur, pluta po dolini Kedu, kao ogromni lo-
tosov cvet po jezeru.
Znaenje imena Borobudur nije jasno i postoji nekoliko
teorija o nastanku tog imena.
Po jednoj teoriji ime je verovatno izvedeno iz izraza na sanskritu Vi-
hara Budha Ur, to bi se moglo prevesti kao Budistiki hram na
planini, a po drugoj, da je sastavljeno od rei bara, to znai hram Vihara Buddha Ur, which could be translated as Buddhist temple on
i budur to na balineanskom jeziku znai iznad. Nagaa se da bi the mountain and according to another theory, the name is composed of
njegovo ime moglo da znai i mnogo Buda, no, kada bolje razmis-
lim, ta god da znai, smisao je manje-vie, slian.
Taan period gradnje i imena graditelja ovog svetilita obavijeni su
velom tajne, jer o tome, nema sauvanih pisanih podataka. Pretpostav-
lja se da je gradnja hrama zapoela sredinom VIII veka, za vreme
vladavine dinastije Sailendra, koja se obogatila na uzgajanju pirina.
Vladari su zamislili da izgrade repliku svete planine Meru, koja je
centar univerzuma u hinduistikoj i budistikoj mitologiji i na kojoj
obitavaju boanstva iz obe religije. Poto u obe religije izgradnja sva-
kog hrama podrazumeva in raanja, graditelji su prethodno proverili
gde se tano sunce kao mukarac i plodno tlo kao ena susreu. Posle
bezbrojnih horoskopa, prorauna i obilazaka, postalo je jasno, da se
pravo mesto nalazi na jednom kupastom breuljku u centralnoj Javi.
Na odgovarajuim koordinatama, tada je po naredbi vladara, zapoela
izgradnja svetilita koje se harmonino uklopilo u tropski pejza i
koje do danas nije izgubilo nita od svoje privlanosti.

The Temple of the Phoenix
I was particularly pleased to visit Borobudur, one of the wonders of the
ancient world, because for many years I had wished to see it with my
own eyes, as well as the bell-shaped stupas, which seemed to call me,
whenever I thought about traveling to Indonesia and the island of Java.
There are eight extraordinary buildings scattered around the world, Ma-
chu Picchu in Peru, the Great Wall of China, Stonehenge in Great Brit-
ain, the Acropolis in Greece, the Taj Mahal in India, Hagia Sophia in
Turkey, Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Bagan in Burma. They are called
the Eighth Wonders of the World. One of those wonders is the monu-
mental Borobudur Temple, one of the most important Buddhist temples
in Southeast Asia. The temple was built in the eighth century A.D., during
the reign of the Sailendra dynasty, and for many years it was the spiritual
center of Buddhism in Java. Many pilgrims visit it, but the function of
this temple is mostly unknown.
After leaving behind the agitated Yogyakarta, the tumult of the city is
replaced by a slower and more tranquil life rhythm, by a landscape char-
acterized by large tea plantations and rice terraces. The patchwork of
green nuances made me sleep. I was suddenly awakened by the deep sigh
of the Merapi volcano, whose outlines emerged on the horizon. Then I
saw Borobudur, which drew a strong sigh from the bottom of my lungs.
Finally, after so many years of waiting, this timeless symbol of the uni-
verse, this perfect work of human hands, Borobudur, stood in front of me
in all its glory. Standing in front of it like a lost child, I realized that the
view of Borobudur is truly breathtaking, and that it is worth of veneration
in any sense. And there is a good reason; Borobodur is not just a temple,
but a magical place full of energy in both reality and dream.
The temple was built on a hill in the rich and fertile Kedu valley at the
hills and four volcanoes: Merapi, Merbabu, Sumbing and Sindoro, which
are its benefactors and destroyers at the same time. According to the Ja-
vanese belief, Elo and Progo rivers symbolize the Gang and Jamun riv-
ers from the Indus Valley in India. Actually, I could not get away of the
feeling that Borobudur floats on the Kedu valley like a giant lotus flower
in a lake.
The meaning of the name Borobudur is unclear and there are
several theories about its origin.
According to one theory, the name is probably derived from the Sanskrit
the words bara, which means temple and budur, the Balinese word
for above. It is speculated that the name could mean Many Buddhas,
but when I think about it, whatever that means, the sense is more or less
the same.
The exact period of construction and the name of the builder of this
shrine are shrouded in mystery, because there have not been kept any
written records. It is assumed that the construction of the temple began
in the mid-VIII century, during the Sailendra dynasty, which became
rich thanks to the cultivation of rice. The rulers intended to build a repli-
ca of the sacred Meru mountain, which is the center of the universe and
the place where the gods live, according to Hindu and Buddhist mythol-
ogy. Given that in both religions building a temple is like conceiving a
child, the builders checked were the sun, as masculine principle, would
meet the fertile earth, as feminine principle. After countless horoscopes,
calculations and visits, it became clear that the right place was a coni-
cal hill in central Java. The ruler ordered to build the temple in those
U prvom trenutku, Borobudur me je podsetio na neku masivnu
okruglu halu, sa visoko izdignutom stupom na vrhu i skupinom
nabacanih statua, beskrajnih terasa i nia, ali bila je to pogrena
procena, jer arhitektura hrama impresionira svojom neverovat-
nom preciznocu i dokaz je ogromnog ljudskog zalaganja i truda.
Sam hram izgraen je od skoro 60.000 kubika kamena andezita,
odnosno od dva miliona vulkanskih blokova, koji su vaeni na
razliitim mestima, izmeu ostalih iz reke Progo i obraivani
pod vrelim tropskim suncem, da bi se zatim pomou slonova i
ivotinja za vuu, prebacivali do gradilita.
Izgradnja ovog kolosalnog objekta trajala je skoro 80 godina i
u njoj je uestvovalo na desetine hiljada ljudi, radnika, zidara i
klesara-umetnika. Pominje se dobrovoljni rad od strane vernika,
ali i prinudni rad, kao i podatak da je stanovnitvo centralne Jave,
posle zavretka izgradnje Borobudura, od napornog rada bilo to-
liko izmodeno, da je jo itavih pet generacija osealo posledice
njegove izgradnje.
Pre gotovo 11 vekova umetnici u kamenu, zapoeli
su izgradnju ovog grandioznog hrama ulaui svoju
snagu, znanje i umee za budue generacije.
Iako veliku misteriju predstavlja izgradnja hrama bez razvijene
tehnologije, on je izrastao u jednu od najimpozantnijih tvorevina
koje je ljudska ruka, ikada stvorila. Da bi hodoasnici stigli do vrha
piramide, potrebno je da se kreu u pravcu uobiajenom za koru,
koja podrazumeva ritualno kruenje oko svetog mesta, svetinje,
svetog brega, ili planine. U sluaju Borobudura, hodoasnici treba
devet puta da obiu platforme, to iznosi itavih pet kilometara da
bi stigli do vrha piramide. Moram da priznam, da je to za mene
bio teak i naporan zadatak, ali Borobudur takvu rtvu zasluuje.
Setila sam se veoma naporne kore oko svete planine Kajla,
i bi mi lake. Hramu sam pristupila sa njegove istone strane
preko stepenica ispred kojih su me doakala dva lava uvara, sa
coordinates. It harmoniously melts into the tropical landscape and
it has never lost its beauty.
At first, Borobudur reminded me of a massive circular hall, with
high standing stupas on the top, many statues, endless terraces and
niches, but it was an error of judgment, because the architecture
of the temple impresses with its incredible precision and evidence
of enormous human effort and work. The temple was built with
almost 60,000 cubic meters of andesite rock, and two million vol-
canic blocks, which were extracted at various places, including the
Progo river, processed under the hot tropical sun and transported
to the building site by elephants and animal traction. The construc-
tion of this colossal building lasted almost 80 years and involved
the participation of tens of thousands of people, including workers,
bricklayers, stonemasons, artists and many others. Tradition talks
about voluntary work by the faithful, but also about forced labor.
It is said that, after completing the construction of Borobudur, five
generations felt the consequences of the hard labor.
Almost 11 centuries ago, rock carvers began the con-
struction of this grand temple investing their strength,
knowledge and skills for the sake of future generations.
It is a great mystery how the temple was built without advanced
technology, but regardless of that, it is one of the most impressive
creations of mankind. In order to reach the top of the pyramid, it
is necessary to move in the direction of the kora, i.e. the ritual
circling around holy places, shrines, sacred hills or mountains. In
the case of Borobudur, pilgrims must go nine times around the plat-
form, i.e. five kilometers, to get to the top of the pyramid. I have to
admit, that for me it was a difficult and arduous task, but Borobudur
is worth of the sacrifice. I remembered the very strenuous kora
around the Kailash mountain and suddenly it was easier. I entered
into the temple from its eastern side, through a staircase guarded by
two stone lions with a raised front paw. When I reached the eastern
123
podignutom prednjom apom. Kada sam stigla do istone kapije,
krenula sam oko hrama, u smeru kazaljki na satu, onako kako to nalae
kora. Iako Borobudur iz daleka impesionira svojom masivnou, kada
sam prila blie, shvatila sam kolika je u stvari njegova mo izbliza.
Ta bliskost i magija, kojom Borobudur pleni i koja zrai iz
svakog kamena, sitnih detalja, reljefa i skulptura, je privile-
govani oseaj koji me dugo nije napustio.
Put me je dalje uzanim galerijama vodio kraj bogato ukraenih nara-
tivnih i dekorativnih panela, na kojima su umetnici isklesali virtuelni
udbenik budistikih doktrina, kao i mnoge aspekte ivota na Javi,
pre 1000 godina. Kada sam zadihana i iscrpljena, crvena kao bulka,
stigla na vrh piramide, tamo su me saekale zvonaste stupe koje
sam godinama sanjala i fantastian pogled na okolna brda, vulkane
i zelenu dolinu Kedu. Dugo sam se zadrala na vrhu, toliko, da mi je
na kraju priao uvar, opominjui me diskretno, da se ve predugo ally a guard came and warned me discreetly that I had already stayed
nalazim na piramidi. Kako i ne bih, kraj tolike lepote, zapitah ga. Pun
razumevanja, dopustio mi je da i dalje gutam. Pitala sam se kako je
uvar pored mnogobrojnih posetilaca primetio ba mene, a onda sam
saznala i videla, da je Borobudur pod video nadzorom i da se kre-
tanje posetilaca pomno prati. U pitanju su mere predostronosti, zbog
moguih teroristikih napada, kakav je bio bombaki napad 1985. go-
dine, kada je od podmetnutih bombi teko oteeno devet stupa na
gornjim terasama. Sreom, ljudskih rtava nije bilo.
BUDIN NONI PRST

gate, I went around the temple in a clockwise direction, as required,
when you perform a kora. Although Borobudur impressed me from
far away due to its massive size, when I came closer, I realized how
much power it has when you close up.
The intimacy and magic of Borobudur radiate from every
stone, little details, reliefs and sculptures. That charm is a real
privilege, a feeling that has not left me for a very long time.
Narrow galleries lead me along richly decorated panels, on which the
artists carved a virtual textbook of Buddhist doctrine, as well as many
aspects of the life in Java 1,000 years ago. I was out of breath and
exhausted, as red as a poppy, when I reached the top of the pyramid.
There I found the bell-shaped stupas that I had dreamed for many years,
as well as the fantastic view of the surrounding mountains, volcanoes
and the green Kedu valley. I stayed there for a long time and eventu-
for too long on the top of the pyramid. How not to stay when there is
so much beauty? - I asked him. He showed understanding and allowed
me to stay. I wondered how many people, besides the guard, noticed
my presence and then I realized that Borobudur is under video surveil-
lance and that the movement of visitors is closely monitored. These are
preventive measures for possible terrorist attacks, such as the bombing
of 1985, when nine stupas were heavily damaged on the upper terrace.
Fortunately, there were no casualties.
BUDDHAS TOE
Borobudur rests on a square base, whose sides are 123 meters long. It
has nine levels, out of which six are square, while the top of the temple
consists of three concentrically designed terraces. The temple is built in
the shape of a pyramid, which represents a map of the cosmos accord-
ing to the Buddhist philosophy of that time, or as some experts, claim,
in the shape of a lotus, the sacred flower of Buddhism. Before it col-
lapsed, the height of Borobudur as 42 meters, compared to the 35 me-
ters it has nowadays. Borobudur is decorated with statues of Buddha,

ploa, i 72 prepoznatljive perforirane stupe zvonastog oblika na vrhu.
Unutar svake stupe je smetena po jedna Budina statua, osim statue
sreni Buda, koja nije u zvonu i koja je na neki nain zatitini znak that there is a famous statue of a Joyful Buddha, which is not inside
Borobudura, obzirom da je obavezni motiv na fotografijama i razgled-
nicama, koje posetioci sa Jave, alju u svet. Poznata legenda kae da
e biti srean svako ko kroz otvor na stupi, dodirne Budin noni prst.
Naravno da nisam propustila priliku da provuem ruku kroz otvor
stupe i obezbedim sebi sreu. Uinila sam to jo nekoliko puta i na
drugim stupama, za svaki sluaj.
Sam vrh piramide ini najvea stupa prenika 11 metara,
jedina prazna, kao simbol apsolutnog mira, prosvetljenja
i nirvane.
Stupe su inae vrsta najranijih budistikih spomenika, u obliku humke
ili breuljka. Legenda kae da je po Budinoj smrti, u mestu Kusinara
u Indiji, njegovo telo kremirano u sandalovini i da je pepeo podeljen
i pohranjen ispod osam stupa, dok su urna i ar zakopani ispod druge
dve stupe. Prvobitno su se na itavom kompleksu Borobudura, nala-
zile 504 statue Bude,od tog broja danas njih 300 je oteeno, (veini
nedostaje glava) a 43 statue su netragom nestale. Na prvi pogled mi se
uinilo da su sve statue Bude iste, ali kada sam bolje pogledala, videla
sam da se razlikuju, posebno kada je u pitanju poloaj ruku, odnosno
mudre. Tako statue u niama na prva etiri nivoa prikazuju razliite
mudre, dok ostale statue na sve etiri strane hrama, zatim statue na
petom nivou i 72. statue na krunim nivoima, imaju isti poloaj mu-
dre. Mnoge reljefne ploe prikazuju svakodnevni ivot u IX veku na
Javi, dvorjane i vojnike, povorke, floru i faunu, brodove, slonove,
muziare, igraice, ratnike i kraljeve, kao i aktivnosti obinih ljudi.
Ostale ploe prikazuju budistike mitove i legende i duhovna bia,
bogove, bodisatve, kinare, asure i apsare.
Na reljefnim ploama primetan je veliki uticaj Indije na Javu, iz vre-
mena perioda Gupta. Via bia su prikazana u tribunga pozi, tipinoj
za indijske skulpture i klasinu plesnu formu kao to je odisi. Ova
poza uporeuje se sa kontrapostom i bukvalno znai: polomiti na tri
dela, a sastoji se od tri iskrivljena poloaja, koja se odnose na vrat,
bokove i kolena. U odnosu na struk, tako se dobijao blagi oblik slova
S i jedan posebno graciozni i senzualni poloaj tela, u kome se esto
na skulpturama pojavljuje hindu bog Krina. Na zidovima prva etiri
nivoa, u duini od pet kilometara, nalaze se reljefi koji prikazuju ivot
i delovanja Sakjamuni Bude, principe njegovog uenja i razliita stan-
ja budustike svesti. Jedan od najzanimljivijih delova reljefa govori
Borobudur poiva na kvadratnoj
osnovi, ije stranice iznose
123 metra i propinje seu vis
do devet nivoa, od kojih je est
donjih kvadratog oblika, dok

Hramovi i opasni vulkani / Temples and dangerous volcanoes
2670 beautifully carved relief panels and 72 distinctive bell-shaped
stupas on the top. There is a Buddha statue inside each stupa. Besides
a bell. In some way, that statue is the trademark of Borobudur, because
it can be seen in almost all the photographs and postcards that tour-
ists send from Java all around the world. A famous legend says that
whoever touches Buddhas toe through the opening in the stupa, will
be happy. Of course, I did not miss the opportunity to place my hand in
the opening of the stupa and secure happiness for myself. I did it a few
times in other stupas as well, just in case.
The largest stupa is at the very top of the pyramid. It has a
diameter of 11 meters and it is empty inside, as a symbol of
absolute peace, enlightenment and nirvana.
Stupas are the earliest Buddhist monuments in the form of hummocks
or hills. The legend says that after Buddhas death in Kusinara, India,
his body was cremated in sandalwood and the ashes divided and stored
under eight stupas, while the urn and the embers were buried under the
two other stupas. Originally, there were 504 statues of Buddha in the
entire Borobudur complex, out of which 300 are damaged nowadays
(in most cases the head is missing), while 43 statues have disappeared
without a trace. At first glance, I thought that all Buddha statues were
the same, but when I looked at them closely, I realized that they dif-
fered, especially when it comes to the position of the hands, the so-
called mudra. The statues in the niches of the first four levels show
different mudras, while the remaining statues on all four sides of
the temple, as well as the statues on the fifth level and the 72 statues
on the circular levels have the same mudra or position of the hands.
Many relief panels show daily life in ninth century Java: courtiers and
soldiers, parades, flora and fauna, ships, elephants, musicians, danc-
ers, warriors and kings, as well as the activities of ordinary people.
Other panels show Buddhist myths and legends, spiritual beings, gods,
Bodhisattvas, Kinnaras, Asuras and Apsaras. The relief panels are evi-
dence of the great influence of India in Java, from the time of Gupta
period. Higher beings are shown in the Tribunga position, typical
for Indian sculpture, as well as a classical dance known as Odissi.
This position is compared to the contrapposto and it literally means
to break into three parts, consisting of three bent positions, which
are related to the neck, hips and knees. It is slightly bent at the level
of the waist, creating a slight S-shape and a particularly graceful and
sensuous body position, which often appears in the sculptures of the
Borobudur rests on a square base,
whose sides are 123 meters long.
It has nine levels, out of which
six are square, while the top
of the temple consists of three
concentrically designed terraces.
The temple is built in the shape
of a pyramid, which represents a
map of the cosmos according to
the Buddhist philosophy of that
time, or as some experts, claim,
in the shape of a lotus, the sacred
flower of Buddhism

Hindu god Krishna. On the walls of the first four levels there are re-
liefs, with a length of five kilometers, depicting the life and activities
of Buddha Shakyamuni, his teachings and the principles of different
states of Buddhist consciousness. One of the most interesting parts of
the relief talks about Buddhas reincarnations. The stone tells us about
the time when the Buddha was a god, a king, an ordinary man or an
animal. He lived as a lion, a deer, a monkey, a swan and a turtle, but
in each incarnation Shakyamuni was sublime and full of compassion.
Originally the temple was painted in bright colors, unlike the temples
on the continent. That is the way artists asserted their freedom, depart-
ing from the strict ancient Indian style of the Gupta period. The colors
are long gone, but they were used to allow the gray stone of Borobdura
to catch the suns rays.
For nearly two centuries, Borobudur was the spiritual cen-
ter of Buddhism in Java. With the collapse of the Hindu
kingdom of Mataram in 919, the center of the cultural, politi-
cal and religious life, moved from the central part of Java to
the eastern part.
Pilgrims lost interest and Borobudur fell into oblivion. The magnifi-
cent sanctuary was abandoned to the ravages of time. It was not spared

even by volcanic eruptions of the luxuriant vegetation, which damaged
the stone and crumbled the highest parts of the temple. The powerful
earthquake that struck Java in1548 caused even more damage to the
monument and the pyramid was trapped in the volcanic ash for centu-
ries, like the Sleeping Beauty in a deep sleep, until it was rediscovered
by the Europeans. However, the locals had not forgotten that Borobudur
was there and as time went on, the buried temple awoke superstitious
fear and people preferred to avoid it.
The fear was fueled by the legend of Monkonagoro, heir to the throne
of the Yogyakarta Sultanate, who stole a Buddha statue from a stone
stupa on the top of the temple, fell immediately ill and died next day.
The shrine fell into oblivion for centuries, covered by earth, layers of
volcanic ash and tropical vegetation. It looked like a hill covered with
bushes and weed. It was only in 1814 that Thomas S. Rafles, Governor
of Java and founder of Singapore, heard that there was a magnificent
temple in the Burmisegoro area and began to research the terrain. How-
ever, due to the scarce funds, he succeeded to unearth only a small part.
Public interest has grown and faded over the decades. In fact, until 1955
the rescue of this remarkable monument, which involved investing part
of the capital needed for the reconstruction. A major undertaking began
in 1973, when UNESCO contributed with 25 million USD and 700 ar-
cheologists worked for six days in very difficult conditions, dismantling
piece by piece and stone by stone over one million items. Each item
was specially cleaned, processed and numbered and then returned to its
place. New drainage structures were put in place. Former Yugoslavia
helped Indonesia, supporting the project with financial resources and
necessary materials, such as concrete, asphalt and bitumen.
Cleaning and restoration works lasted for eleven long years
and in 1984 Borobudur emerged from its ashes like a phoe-
nix and shone to its former glory.
Nowadays, Borobudur rests on new foundations and it is strong enough
to withstand the next 1000 years. That was President Sukarnos wish
during the reopening ceremony of the restored temple: Let Borobodur
live 1,000 more years.
When I glanced at this magical monument of the past, lit by the orange-
golden light of the setting sun, I wondered who created Borobudur,
men, gods or visitors from the outer space? My question will surely
remain unanswered, and Borobudur will remain an eternal secret and
mystery for the entire world, although Erich von Daniken would cer-
tainly choose the option of visitors from the outer space. There are
many different people and therefore many questions and beliefs, but
the truth is one and it does not have multiple versions. Whoever created
Borobudur, gave a divine piece of art to humanity.

postala francuski
vitez
Francuski ambasador u Beogradu Fransoa Gzavije Denio uruio
je 23. januara orden Nacionalnog reda za zasluge u rangu vite-
za, predsednici Odbora Skuptine Srbije za evropske integracije
Natai Vukovi.
Tom prilikom, Denio je odao priznanje njenom angaovanju na
pribliavanju Francuske i Srbije, na pribliavanju Srbije Evrop-
skoj uniji i linom zalaganju u korist zajednikih vrednosti. Podse-
tio je i na njen ivotni put koji, kako je rekao, daleko od toga da je
na zavretku, ali iji su rana zrelost i bogatstvo naveli francuske
vlasti da je odlikuju.
Srbija stupa upravo u ovom trenutku na put na kome e se
za nekoliko godina prikljuiti porodici kojoj prirodno pripa-
da, Evropskoj uniji. Ona to duguje upravo ljudima kao to
ste Vi, rekao je francuski ambasador uruujui orden Natai
Vukovi.
On je ocenio da imenovanje na mesto predsednice Odbora za
evropske integracije, koje je podrala veina stranaka u odluu-
juem trenutku za evropski put Srbije, dobro oslikava poverenje
koje imaju u nju kako njeni politiki prijatelji tako i politiki protiv-
nici u skuptinskom domu.
Francuski ambasador je, izmeu ostalog, podsetio da je Vuko-
vi bila potpredsednica Parlamentarne skuptine Saveta Evrope,
gde je radila u slubi evropskog puta Srbije i da je predsedava-
la grupom prijatelja Francuske u parlamentu od 2008. do 2012.

NataaVukovi
became a French
Knight
On January 23, the French Ambassador in Belgrade, Franois
Xavier Deniau, handed the National Order of Merit in the rank of
Knight to NataaVukovi, President of the European Integration
Committee of the Parliament of Serbia.
On this occasion, Deniau paid tribute to her involvement in the
rapprochement of Serbia with France and the European Union,
as well as to her personal commitment in favor of shared values.
He also reminded those present of her life path, which, as he
said, is far away from being at its end. However its early maturity
and richness made the French authorities honor her.
Serbia has just begun a path that will lead to joining, in a
few years time, a family that Serbia naturally belongs to, the
European Union. Serbia owes that to people like you, said
the French Ambassador when he handed the medal to Nataa-
Vukovi.
He said that her appointment as President of the Committee for
European Integration, which was supported by most of the parti-
es in a crucial moment for Serbias European path, clearly shows
the confidence that both her political friends and her political op-
ponents have in her.
Among other things, the French Ambassador pointed out that
Vuckovic was Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe, where she supported Serbias European
path and chaired the Group of Friends in the French Parliament
between 2008 and 2012.

Ovo je veliko priznanje za sve ono to smo radili u parlamen-
tu, u naporu da Srbiju pribliimo demokratskoj, ureenoj Evro-
pi, da naim sagovornicima u Francuskoj pribliimo na pravi
nain i nae probleme i da im pokaemo sa koliko smo elje
i volje usredsreeni na to da se pribliimo modernim zemlja-
ma lanicama EU, izjavila je Nataa Vukovi. Ovo priznanje
i mnogo obavezuje da nastavimo sve one procese koje smo
zapoeli, da Srbiju dovedemo do lanstva u EU, da francuska
iskustva primenjujemo ovde sa veim arom i posveenou
i da izgradimo iroko polje slobode i ljudskih prava i ono to
nam sigurno Francuska moe dati kao primer, a to su vrste
institucije. Mislim da u svakom ovakvom priznanju postoji
mnogo priznanja za drutvo i ono to ini neko okruenje u
kome se svaki pojedinac koji, sticajem okolnosti, takvo jedno
priznanje ponese zapravo razvio i radio, istakla je ona.
Prema njenim reima, ovo je veliko priznanje i svim onim ljudima
koji su svih ovih godina i decenija doprineli ouvanju tradicije fran-
cusko-srpskog prijateljstva i dobrog razumevanja, kao i generacija-
ma nastavnika i profesora koji su godinama negovali ljubav prema
francuskom jeziku i kulturi.

This is a great recognition of all that we have done in Par-
liament, in an effort to bring Serbia closer to a democratic,
orderly Europe, to bring our counterparts in France closer
to our problems in the right way and to show them to what
extent our eagerness and will are focused on getting clo-
ser to modern EU member states - said NatasaVuckovic.
This recognition obliges us to continue all the processes
that we have begun, in order to ensure Serbias member-
ship in the EU, to apply French experience in our country
with greater zeal and commitment and to build a wide mar-
gin of freedom and human rights. Of course, France and
its solid institutions are a clear example for us. I think that
such recognition implies many recognitions for the enti-
re society and for an environment in which any individual
may work and develop - said NataaVukovi.
According to her, this is a great recognition for all the people that
have contributed, through years and decades, to preserving the
traditions of French-Serbian friendship and good understan-
ding, as well as for generations of teachers and professors who
have nurtured love for the French language and culture.
The reception hosted at the French Embassy was attended
by numerous officials of the Democratic Party, including Party
Chairman Draganilas, the president of the Political Council of
the Democratic Party DragoljubMiunovi, representative Ne-
nadKonstantinovi, the President of the Fund for Political Exce-

Algeria promoted
its Offer at Belgrade
Tourism Fair
Algeria is one of the countries that promoted its tourism offer
for the first time at the 36th edition of the International Tourism
Fair of Belgrade, which is the fifth most important one in Eu-
rope. The tourism offer of this country was presented for the first
time, in order to improve cooperation with Serbia in this area, as
well as to promote Algeria as a tourist destination. Belgrade was
visited by a numerous delegation, consisting of Government
representatives and tourism workers, but also a large number
of tour operators, who discussed cooperation with their Serbian
colleagues.
The Algerian Ambassador to Serbia,AbdelkaderMesdoua, said
at a press conference that the participation of his country in the
tourism fair of Belgrade is an important signal that Algeria wish-

It is a political signal that Algeria sendsto Serbia, showing
our wish to follow Serbias example worldwide and our hope
that in a few years we will be a partner country in this fair,
which is so prestigious in the region. Algeria has a strong

and Algeria should be improved, and that tourism is a subject of
great interest for the Algerian authorities.
-Since the independence of our country, the Algerian Gov-
ernment has always been very interested in the field of Tour-
ism. Tourism experienced a boom in the first ten years, but
then it suffered a fall due to economic and political condi-
tions. Nowadays, our country is developing tourism again,
based on the strategy adopted in 2008 in order to make it
one of the leading sectors of the economy, together with
oil and gas. Until the end of the year, the Algerian Govern-
ment will invest two and a half billion USD in this branch of
the economy. At the beginning of this century, Algeria was
visited by about one million tourists, while last year it was
visited by 2.7 million tourists. The promotion of Algeria in
Serbia is part of the long-term plans and strategies to at-
tract tourists from Eastern Europe, said Rachid.
The peoples of Serbia and Algeria have many important similari-
ties important when it comes to countries as tourist destinations.
Among other things, both like to spend their vacations in Tunisia,
but we can also cooperate in other areas as well, especially in
the sphere of education, training and investments. Serbia was
invited to participate this year in the tourism fair of Algeria. As
part of the promotion of the tourism offer of Algeria, a gala dinner
was held at the Hyatt Hotel, which was attended not only by the
Ambassador, the Minister of Tourism of Algeria and representa-
tives of the government of that country, but also by prominent
figures from the political, economic and cultural life of Serbia.

Heroes from
Belgrade that will
conquer the World
People of Belgrade make games
for the world market
When in July last year, a small group of video game fans from
Belgrade began to work on the ambitious project, called the Awak-
ening of Heroes (AoH), nobody imagined that it would become a
hit in the region, months before its official presentation. However,
after it was announced on the Internet that the people of Belgrade
work on the first domestic MOBA game, many fans of this popular
in the prototype stage, but the first Alpha testing is awaited by the
end of March.
The charming granny manipulator, the butcher with a mathemati-
cians alter ego, the sexy chimney cleaner and the prickly hipster...
These are just some of the very ordinary people of a quite strange
city, designed in an interesting Teslapank style and placed in the
twenties of the last century. Their comical features and absurd
past are just a shadow of what our heroes really are. The time has
come to change that. After years of repression, their true nature is
slowly waking up. While they discover their superhuman powers,
these seemingly ordinary characters become heroes. The streets
of the city are transformed into an arena, where only the fittest
achieve immortality.
In few words, the story of AoH reveals a golden middle way be-
tween simple Facebook games and strenuous MOBA games. Al-
though IT basically resembles the League of Legends, DOTA and
other titles of this popular genre, Awakening of Heroes offers sig-
nificant innovations, which stand out from similar games. I would

like to highlight its humorous aspects and how easy it is to
play it. That makes it more acceptable to the general popula-
tion of players who are looking for shorter and more dynamic
matches - said Nikola Miti, head of the COFA Games team.
Although it is still in the prototype stage, the game has awakened
great interest, as evidenced by the daily increase in the number of
fans on social networks. According to Nikolas words, most gamers
wish to know when they will be able to test it. The application for
participating in the Alpha testing is in progress on the website www.
awakeningofheroes.com. Unfortunately, due to the large number
of requests, only a part of the applicants will get the chance to be
among the first that try our heroes. The others will need to have
patience - said Nikola.
The game will be free and gamers will be able to play in any loca-
tion with an Internet connection, at any time, thanks to the powerful
Unity 3D tool that makes video games compatible with different
operating systems and different devices. The first domestic MOBA
game will be tightly integrated with Facebook, which will provide an
important advantage over the competition, together with the stand
alone and tablet versions, which are in process.
Even if you have no previous experience with this demanding genre,
you should not worry. One of the basic ideas of COFA Games team
is to bring simple browser game fans closer to the exciting world
of MOBA.
After making acquaintance with video game fans from Serbia and
the region, the Belgrade heroes will break in the world stage. Of
course, entering the American and Asian virtual space is certainly
the greatest challenge and the best measure of quality.
Awakening of Heroes - essential characteristics
Genre - MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) - subspecies
of RTS (real time strategy) genre.
Currently in prototype stage.
Estimated date of the Alpha Test - March - April 2014.
The game was created by using the Unity 3D tool - developed
by Unity Technologies as an alternative to Adobe Flash. This
tool represents the basis for the development of games and
Internet contents available to all desktop platforms, consoles
and mobile devices.
The game runs from a browser and does not require instal-
lation.
The stand alone and tablet versions are being prepared.
It is based on the freemium business model, i.e. the game
is free to play and does not include the pay to win concept.
Main target group - mid-core group of players between 16 and
35 years (younger players, who feel sufficiently mature and
older players, who feel young enough, are also welcome).

svoju ex-YU turneju, predvoena glumcem Draganom Marinkoviem U komadu koji u
sebi nosi sarajevsku realnost kroz tragikomine prie i odnose meu ljudima, koji na

Acting is excess
fter the premiere that took place in Belgrade on November 29 and the second

A showing of February 07 at the Labor Union Hall, the hit show MACA MAHALAC
obtained very positive critics and continues its ex-Yu tour, led by actor Dragan
Marinkovi. This drama conveys the reality of Sarajevo through black humor stories
and relationships between people, which reflect todays society in a very provocative and
humorous way. It shows the often sick relationships between women and men, self-isolation and
human greed. The flautist Milena Jovanovi participates in the drama, illustrating Marinkovis
storytelling in a masterful way thanks to her musical talent.

Pravi sarajevski humor, koji publika nije doivela dugi niz godina,
ponovo je u Beogradu. Ljudi, jednostavno, vole ovu predstavu jer je
tana, ivotna, korespondira u potpunosti sa stvarnou. Slogan pred-
stave je Dobrodoli na terapiju. Ljudima je neophodna katarza u
ovim, najblae reeno, bizarnim vremenima, kae na poetku razgo-
vora za The Globe, glumac Dragan Marinkovi Maca.
Interesovanje publike za ovu predstavu, u kojoj on igra
pedesetak likova, objanjava neopisivom potrebom
gledaoca da, makar tokom tog kratkog vremena, uiva u
priama zabavno-edukativnog karaktera i nakratko zabo-
ravi na sivu svakodnevicu.
Svaka pria ima naravouenije, a da nema ege, ale i komike kako
bismo ozbiljno rekli sve ono to mislimo. Re je o fragmentarnoj
dramaturgiji sa elementima kabarea, stand up komedije, monodrame,
melodrame i pripovedanja. Predstavu mnogi porede sa Audicijom i
Top listom nadrealista, ali ja ne volim da koketiram sa stvarima koje
su za mene, mogu slobodno rei, svetkovina. Nadrealisti su bili popu-
larni u nekim realnim vremenima; danas je nama vrlo duhovito sve
ono to je realistino jer ivimo u manje-vie nadrealnim situacijama.
Ljudi vole sarajevski humor, vole ga u Hrvatskoj, Sloveniji. U martu
osvajamo i Makedoniju bie premijera u Skoplju i ostaje Crna
Gora, ime zaokruujemo ex-YU prostor, pa su planovi produkcije i
odlazak u inostranstvo.
Kakve su reakcije publike u regionu? Da li reaguju svu-
da isto na humor koji je zastupljen, da li ga razumeju na
identian nain?
Sutinski, ne postoji razlika. Govorimo istim ili slinim jezikom, tako
da publika sjajno reaguje na ovaj tekst. Kao to sluamo iste pesme,
tako uivamo i u istom humoru.
Da li, ipak, postoji neka autocenzura kako biste zatitili na-
cionalna oseanja, kada igrate predstavu u razliitim re-
publikama?
Pitanje vere i ideologije za mene je privatna stvar, znam ko sam i ta sam
i svoj nacionalni predznak ne stavljam ispred imena i prezimena. Ne
koketiram sa svojim nacionalnim identitetom, pijem kaficu u Zagrebu,
Beogradu, Sarajevu, Splitu... Nacionalizam je sjajna stvar, voli svoju
himnu, nacionalni tim. Meutim, to je nametnuto od strane neokolo-
nijalista kao loa stvar. Istina je da je ovinizam zlo. Treba napraviti
distinkciju izmeu ta dva termina. Ne postoji autocenzura ili cenzura
u bilo kom smislu jer ovaj komad ne vrea nikoga. Moj mahalac je vi-
soko sofisticirani mahalac 21. veka koji ima kritiki osvrt, veoma esto
i samokritian, na dananji modus vivendi. Sjajan ivotni tekst koji doz-
voljava odline improvizacije, a terapija humorom koju pruam publici
uvek je nagraena smehom i, da se ne laemo, na bazi reciprociteta.
Prole godine ste snimili i dva filma u koprodukciji ex-YU
kinematografije Reket i Politika i drugi zloini?
Da, i ta dva filma e vrlo brzo imati premijere u Sarajevu, Beogradu
i Zagrebu. Letos sam radio i na filmu November man sa Pirs Bro-
snanom i Olgom Kurilenko, sad je u fazi postprodukcije i do kraja
godine e, verujem, biti na bioskopskim platnima.

It is authentic Sarajevo humor that the audience has not experienced
for many years here in Belgrade. People just love this show, because
it is true, vital and fully matches reality. The slogan of the show is:
Welcome to therapy because people really need a therapy in these
bizarre times, to say the least - said actor Dragan Marinkovi Maca
at the beginning of the conversation with The Globe.
The interest of the audience for this show, in which he plays
around fifty characters, is explained by the indescribable
need of viewers to enjoy, even for a short time, some
entertaining-educational stories and to forget the gray of
everyday life.
Every story has a moral, but there is no kidding or joke, because we
want to say what we think. It is a fragmentary drama with cabaret
elements, stand up comedy, monodrama, melodrama and narrative.
Many compare the performance with the Audition and the Top
lista nadrealista, but I do not like to flirt with things that are holy for
me. Nadrealisti were popular in some real times. However, nowadays
all that is surrealistic looks very witty to us, because we live in more
or less surreal situations. People love Sarajevo humor. They enjoy it
in Croatia and Slovenia. In March we will conquer Macedonia and
after that we will have our Montenegrin premiere, rounding up the
entire ex-Yu space. That is, our plans are to go abroad
What are the reactions of the audience in the region? Do
they react everywhere to that humor? Do they understand
it in the same way?
Essentially, there is no difference. We speak the same language or a
similar one. Therefore the audience has had a fantastic reaction to the
text. We enjoy humor in the same way we listen to songs.
When you perform in other ex-Yu republics, do you apply
any kind of self-censorship in order to protect national
feelings?
The issue of religion and ideology are a private matter for me. I know
who I am and what I am and therefore I do not put my national identity
in front of my name and surname. I do not flirt with my national identity.
I drink coffee in Zagreb, Belgrade, Sarajevo and Split. Nationalism
is a great thing, because it makes you love your anthem and your
national team. But whatever was imposed by neocolonialists is a bad
thing. The truth is that chauvinism is evil. You must make a distinction
between the two terms. There is no self-censorship or censorship in
any way, because this drama does not offend anyone. My Mahalac
or suburb dweller is a highly sophisticated individual of the 21st
century, who has a very critical overview of days modus vivendi.
This brilliant and vital text allows excellent improvisation and the
humor therapy offered to the audience is always rewarded with lots of
laughter, let us say it, on a reciprocity basis.
Last year you shot two films in co-production with the ex-
Yu studies, Racket and Politics and Other Crimes?
Yes, the two films will soon premier in Sarajevo, Belgrade and
Zagreb. Last summer I worked in the movie November Man with
Pierce Brosnan and Olga Kurylenko. Now it is in post-production,
and by the end of the year, I believe, it will be on in theaters.

ta mislite o filmovima u stranoj produkciji?
Veliki broj filmova sam odigrao u stranim produkcijama i mogu rei,
a to e i drugi glumci potvrditi, da uvek igra ili nekog Rusa, to bi
Italijani rekli Slavo, koji je u sukobu sa zakonom ili na granici le-
galnog. Uvek neki prljavi momci sa loim akcentom i ekspresijom
lica kojim pokvari i ono malo engleskog to zna Vot ar ju dujing
(smeh). Ali, za mene su ta iskustva bila vrlo lepa i korisna, radio sam sa
imenima poput Marise Tomei, Vudi Harlsona, Dina Hekmena, Dario
Boe, Stefana Kalvanje... Radio sam, izmeu ostalih, i u francuskoj
pozorinoj produkciji ekspirovog Romea, projekat po sistemu Pitera
Bruka u kojem jezik ne poznaje granice. Izvodio sam na srpskom, en-
gleskom i italijanskom jeziku. To su mi bile prilike da se uverim da su
velikani svetske scene sasvim jednostavni ljudi, da vole to ime se bave.
Mislim da to mladim glumcima nedostaje, takva vrsta angamana, jer
ih dananje televizijske serije i filmovi ubacuju u kliee zbog kojih
pomisle da su bogom dani. Gluma je mnogo ozbiljnija stvar, ona se ne
deava. to bi rekao veliki Eugenio Barba: Gluma je eksces.
Naredni planovi?
Poetkom aprila prole godine, svetlost dana je ugledala predstava Af-
ter, nastala po filmskom hitu After sex, a koja se najsaetije reeno,
koncentrie na niz razgovora razliitih parova i na duhovit nain os-
likava svu kompleksnost ljubavnih odnosa. Predstava rui sve tabue.
Ljudi, kako ih ja zovem ptice rugalice ali pozorine erudite, dali
su odline ocene ovom komadu. Predstava je u mojoj reiji, a pored
mene igraju Ivan Mihailovi, Stojan orevi, Anka Gaea, Jelena Both, mockingbirds, as I call them, and theater scholars gave excellent
Rakoevi... Predstava je igrana do kraja prole pozorine sezone,
ali zbog glumakih angamana gore pomenutih glumaca, kao i zbog
obaveza svih nas, nismo mogli da stavimo predstavu na repertoar
poetkom ove sezone. Produkcijski tim je u krajnjoj fazi dogovora sa
direktorom i urednikom Doma omladine Beograd, te e publika biti u
mogunosti da uiva i u toj predstavi od narednog meseca.
Poruka za kraj?
Dobrodoli na terapiju!
autor / author: Nada Gruji
Gluma je eksces / Acting is excess
How do you feel about foreign films?
I have played in a lot of foreign films and any actor will confirm what
I say. We always play the role of some Russian, a Slavo as Italians
say, who is in conflict with the law or at its limits. It is always about
some dirty guys with bad accents and a facial expression that ruins the
little English we know Vot ar iu dujing (he laughs). However, those
experiences have been very pleasant and helpful. I have worked with
famous names such as Marisa Tomei, Woody Harelson, Gene Hackman,
Dario Bocha, Stefan Kalvanja etc. Among others, I have also worked in
a French theater production of Shakespeares Romeo, a project carried
out in Peter Brooks system, in which language knows no limits. I have
performed in Serbian, English and Italian. These occasions gave me the
chance of convincing myself that actors that perform on world famous
scenes are quite simple people, who love what they do. I think that
young actors lack that kind of engagement, because todays TV series
and movies push them into clichs, which make them think that they are
irreplaceable. Acting is a much more serious matter. It is not something
that just happens. As the great Eugenio Barba said: Acting is excess.
Which are your plans?
At the beginning of April last year, there was the premiere of the After
show, created after the blockbuster After Sex, which focuses on a
series of discussions by different couples, depicting humorously all the
complexities of romantic relationships. The show breaks all taboos.
marks to this drama. The show is directed by me and the cast included
Ivan Mihajlovi, Stojan ordjevi, Anka Gaea, Jelena Rakoevi and
me. The show was played until the end of the last theater season, but
due to the engagements of the aforementioned actors, as well as to the
general obligations of all of us, we could not put a show on repertoire at
the beginning of this season. The production team is in the final stage of
an agreement with the director and editor of the Belgrade Youth Center,
where the audience will enjoy the performance from next month.
Do you have a message for the end?
Welcome to therapy!

Kako objanjavate to to je Va album najprodavaniji kada
je re o izdanjima na ex-YU prostorima?
Taj podatak me je obradovao i verujem da govori da smo na nekom pra-
vom putu. Naporno sam radila na ovom projektu, zaista sam zadovoljna
reakcijama publike.
Ko Vas sve slua, mislim i na generacije i na profesiju?
Kome se obraate?
Moja muzika obraa se ljudima koji vole ovaj zvuk, ima tu kolaa popa
i deza, razliitih kolorita. S obzirom na to da je repertoar sainjen od
novijih i starijih kompozicija, zaista je interesantno videti kako ljudi
reaguju na muziku, da esto mladi vole starije kompozicije, u modi je
nekakav retro, ini mi se.
Da li biste ponovo bili lanica nekog irija?
Trenutno, moj fokus je na novom albumu i koncertima, pa bi takav neki
projekat zaista morao mnogo da mi se dopadne da bih bila deo njega.
142 www.globe-magazine.com
How do you explain the fact that your album is a best-sell-
er, when it comes to music editions of the ex-Yugoslavian
countries?
That made me glad and I believe it shows that we are on the right track.
I worked hard on this project and I am really happy about the reaction
of the public.
Who listens to your music in terms of generation and pro-
fessional background? To whom do you address your mu-
sic?
My music talks to people who love the sound. It is a collage of pop
and jazz of various colors. Taking into consideration that the repertoire
includes older and newer compositions, it is really interesting to see
how people react to the music and how young people often prefer older
compositions. I think that retro is in fashion.
Would you like to participate in a reality show and be a
member of the jury again?

Da li Vam je put ka uspehu oteavalo poznato prezime
oca, dramskog pisca i direktora Zvezdara teatra, Duana

U principu, niti mi olakava niti mi oteava moju priu. Bavim se
onim to najvie volim i za ta sam se kolovala, a ostali komentari
jednostavno nisu neto ime se optereujem, ni oni izuzetno pozitivni
ni negativni, to je sve deo ove profesije.
Kako uspevate da uskladite obaveze i porodicu?
Trudim se, ongliram! Dobra organizacija zaista jeste klju.
Koliko, u vremenima nekvalitetne muzike, autori i izvoai
kao to ste Vi uspevaju da ljudima ponude neto to je
kvalitetno i vanvremensko?
Za muziku koja nije muzika mase uvek je bilo manje medijskog pros-
tora, posebno u Srbiji poslednjih godina, ali ona stie do slualaca
imali smo koncert u punoj sali Doma sindikata u decembru, dakle ta
muzika je ipak dola do onih koji je vole, a ovo je relativno mlada
pria. Bitno je biti uporan i pozitivan.
Koliko dez podlee trendovima?
Dez muzika se iz godine u godinu razvija, postoji mnogo razliitih
pravaca kad je dez muzika u pitanju. Dez muzika i dez muziari

Muzika koja se slua / Music to listen
Currently, my entire attention is focused on my new album and con-
certs. Therefore, I would participate in such a project only if I really
like it.
Was your path to success more difficult, because you carry
the family name of the playwright and director of the Zvez-
dara Theater, Duan Kovaevi?
In principle, it made it neither harder nor easier. I do what I like and
what I studied for. All other comments are things that I do not care
about. They are neither exceptionally positive nor negative. It is all part
of the profession.
How do you manage to harmonize family and work obliga-
tions?
I just try to juggle! Good organization is really the key.
How do authors and performers like you succeed to offer
something good and timeless to the public in these times,
which are characterized by low-quality music?
There has always been less media coverage for music that is not ad-
dressed to the masses, especially here in Serbia during the past years.
However, it reaches the public. We had a full concert at the Labor Union
Hall in December, i.e. the music reached the people that love it, who are
mainly young. It is important to be persistent and positive.
To what extent is jazz submitted to trends?
Jazz music develops from year to year. There are so many different direc-
tions that, when it comes to jazz music and jazz musicians, they have def-
initely followed trends from the very beginning and keep a step ahead.
With whom would you like to collaborate and who inspires
you?
There are some wonderful people, some of them from abroad, such as
Jamie Kalum, Rumer and some interesting producers ..
What are your future plans?
I am planning concerts in Serbia, in the region and abroad. At the same
time I am part of the wonderful team of the Lekart Education Center.
Which work of your father do you like most?
My favorite is Balkan Spy.
What kind of music do you like to listen to and which is the
last concert you attended?
I listen to classical, pop, jazz and spiritual music. Natalie Cole was just
great at the Labor Union Hall. It was an unforgettable concert and a
memorable evening.

Also writing a blog is a literary
genre with its own laws
Given that we talk with Marojevi, we can immediately move on to our main reason to make this
interview. In May, Laguna publishers will publish the third part of the story book Belgrade
Women (Beograanke). It consists of two cycles, one in which the heroines of the story are Belgrade
women with ages between 15 and 45, who live in Belgrade. That part is called Philosophy for
Everyone. The characters of the second cycle, called The Gift Shop, are our fellow citizens, who
have emigrated.The topics arediverse, often dictated by the moment in which we live.It is a story about
mobbing, school mistreatment among girls, the conflict over games on social networks, tolerance
towards machismo, undervaluation of intellectual work, motherhood of a child with autism, lesbianism,
emigration, sorting things out abroad and dealing with pornography, which is kept alive through the
internet as a substitute for outdoor life ... - our collocutor said at the beginning of our conversation.

U Beograankama postoji pria Sivi komplet, koja govori o
neuspenoj spisateljici koja postaje blogerka. Svakako da se deo
blogera regrutuje meu literatama, bilo uspenim ili propalim. Inae,
ne mislim da je bloger nuno neuspean pisac, ak ni neuspean
novinar. I to je neki anr sa svojim zakonitostima. Naravno, uvek
postoji ta krajnost u kojoj u siromanom drutvu gomila ljudi koristi
injenicu da je pisanje doslovno najjeftiniji vid stvaranja, to se
ulaganja tie potrebno je imati kompjuter i to je to. Zato je na delu
situacija u kojoj ne samo da se svako prepoznaje kao bloger, nego
osim o piscima, moramo govoriti i o mnogima koji se tako oseaju.
A ove prve mnogi lajkuju jer piu neposredno i zato to se ivot na

ubedljiv privid dinaminosti.
Koja Vam je vrsta blogera posebno besmislena?
Mogue da su modni, to zvui kao prilina besmislica. Ali ne bih
mogao da utvrdim da su takvi blogeri zaista i najbesmisleniji jer ne
pratim tu oblast toliko sistematino.
Koga najee kopiraju nai pisci? Ili barem
pokuavaju?
Mislim da je znatno vei problem srpske knjievnosti nedostatak

rukopisima nego i proznim knjigama, ini mi se da je najvei problem
mladih autora i ljudi koji poinju da piu to to je meu njima mnogo
onih koji vie piu nego to itaju. To je kao da ovek ide u teretanu i,
pritom, danima gladuje. Ne treba pisac da ita da bi kopirao neiji stil,

Can we consider bloggers as failed writers or journalists?
Actually, what do you think of this form of writing and how
do they manage to convince people to give them a Like?
By doing what?
In Belgrade Women there is a story called The Grey Kit about an un-
successful writer who became blogger. It is true that part of the bloggers
are recruited among literary people, no matter that they are successful
or failed. Otherwise, I do not think that bloggers should necessarily be
unsuccessful writers or journalists. It is a literary genre with its own laws.
Of course, in a poor society it always happens that a bunch of people
realize that writing is literally the cheapest form of creation and as far as
investments are concerned, you just need a computer and that is all. That
is why; we are dealing with a situation, where anyone can be recognized
as a blogger and, besides that, where we should talk about writers and
many people who feel as such. Many people give Likes to that first
category, because they write directly. Life on social networks is increas-
ingly taking root because social networks are not expensive and offer a
convincing illusion of dynamism.
In your opinion, what type of blogger is especially
pointless?
Maybe fashion bloggers; that sounds pretty absurd. But I cannot claim
that such bloggers are actually the most pointless, because I do not fol-
low systematically that area.
Whom do our writers copy more frequently? Do they try at
least?
I think that a much more important problem of Serbian literature is the
lack of reading materials, rather than imitation attempts. If we talk about
the worse, not only manuscripts but also prose books, the greatest prob-
lem is the people, who are starting to write. I think that there are many
young authors, who write more than they read. It is like a man that goes
to the gym but starves for days.Writers do not need to read in order to
copy someone elses style, but to explore the possibilities of prose and
avoid common places.
Which is the last book you read and which book do you
like most?
I am currently reading Woodcutters of Thomas Bernhard, published
byLoma Publishers. Itis the first Serbian translation of what is perhaps
the best novel of one of my favorite 20th century writers.As for 21st
century authors, my favorite one is Jonathan Franzen. I have read several
times his book The Correction, published by Laguna Publishers. The
reason is the great prose opportunities that the American writer shows in
his novel, as well as the fact that, even in our all-digitized world, it is still
possible to create top-quality art, equal to the best of classics.
I would like to ask you the same about films
I recently watched As Luck would have it (La chispa de la vida) of
lex de la Iglesia. The film really disappointed me, because it is well
below the masterpieces The Day of the Beast (El da de la bestia) and
Common Wealth (La comunidad) by the same author. De laIglesia
is my favorite Spanish director, because he can make lucid and witty
parodies, bringing together Hollywood and the Spanish theater of the
grotesque, in a way that makes his films authentic.

Naslednici, Vilijem Golding etvrtkom u parku, Hilari Bojd

Od autora Gospodara muva. Iznenaujua rekonstrukcija
izgubljenog sveta i zabrinjavajua vizija poetka nove ere.
Kada je prolee stiglo, pleme, barem oni koji su preostali,
vratilo se starim putevima koji su vodili od mora. To je bila
godina neobinih dogaaja, zastraujuih stvari kakvih nikada
ranije nije bilo. Neobjanjivi zvuci i mirisi; nova, nezamisliva
bia izvirivala su kroz lie. Ono to pleme nije znalo, a
verovatno nikada i nee znati, bilo je to da je njihovo sunce
ve zalo. Ovaj, Goldingu najdrai roman retka je knjievna,
emocionalna i intelektualna prilika da se vratimo do samih
korena misli i shvatanja sopstvenog postojanja. Uvueni u
svet surovih uslova, a opet sasvim jasnih i gotovo idilinih
ivotnih pravila, postepeno shvatamo da taj svet posmatramo
oima bia koja su nestala pred najezdom naih prapredaka,
verovatno ba zbog svoje blage prirode. Golding uspeva da
za nas pronae izgubljeno doba nae predistorije zbunjujui

na period zore oveanstva.
The Inheritors, William Golding
The author of The Lord of the Flies
Surprising reconstruction of the lost world and worrying
vision of the beginning of the new era.
As spring arrives, the tribe, at least its remains, returns to the
old roads leading from the sea. It was the year of unusual
events, scary things that never happened before. Unexplainable
sounds and scents; new, unimaginable creatures peeking
through leaves. What the tribe did not know, and probably never
will, was that their sun had already come out. This, to Golding
himself, the most favorite novel, is a rare literary, emotional
and intellectual opportunity to return to the roots of thought
and understanding of our own existence. Drawn into the world
of ruthless conditions,
yet completely clear
and almost idyllic living
rules, we gradually
understand that we
perceive this world
through the eyes
of the creature that
disappeared,being
overrun by our pre-
ancestors, probably
due to their mild nature.
Golding succeeds in
findingthe lost period
of our pre-history,
confusing us infinding
out how little have
we actually changed
in comparison to the
times of the dawn of
humanity.

Tuta i tma, Svetislav Basara, Miljenko Jergovi
Ono to pleni u prepisci Jergovia i Basare jeste, pre svega, visoka kultura
njihovog dijaloga i kritinost prema pojavama u svojoj sredini.
irok je raspon tema koje su u svojoj prepisci dotakli ovi dravni neprijatelji u
svojim nacionalnim knjievnostima: fundamentalizam, feminizam, nacionalizam,
sluenje vojske u bivoj zajednikoj domovini, odnosi Srba i Hrvata, portreti
Tumana i Miloevia, domaa i svetska knjievnost i njihove teme, nekadanji
obiaji u zajednikoj zemlji i dananji u posebnim zemljama... Kao posvedoeni
kritiari drutva, naravi i glavnih knjievnih tokova u svojim sredinama, Jergovi
i Basara u svojoj duhovitoj i pronicljivoj igri dopisivanja razotkrivaju sve slinosti
u negativnim karakterolokim crtama svojih nacija, potvrujui time jo jednom
tanost Frojdove misli da se, preneto na sluaj Srba i Hrvata, njihova uzajamna
netrpeljivost javljala najee usled patologije malih razlika.
Plethora, Svetislav Basara, Miljenko Jergovi
The most attractive aspect in correspondence between Jergovi and Basara
is, primarily, the high-level capacity of their dialogues and criticism for
phenomena in their surroundings.
The range of topics discussed by these state enemies in their national literatures
is very wide: fundamentalism, feminism, nationalism, army service in their former
homeland, relations between Serbs and Croats, portraits of Tuman and Miloevi,
topics from national and world literature, customs in former mutual country and in
present separate countries... As affirmed critics of society, nature and major literary
streams in their environments, Jergovic and Basara, through a witty and discerning
play of correspondence, reveal all the similarities in negative characteristics of their
nations, confirming the correctness of Freuds statement applied to the case of
Serbs and Croats, that the mutual intolerance mainly originates in the pathology of
minor differences.

Freuds Mistress,
Karen Mack andJennifer Kaufmann
If you want to understand the irresistible urges ofthe human heart, you
might spend all your life sitting on the couch, or you could read this great
novel This is a book to enjoy. His theories will change the world and
destroy her life.
In turbulent and vivid Vienna at the end of the 19th century, Minna Bernays
is a woman of sharp spirit, and an educated companion to fancy ladies.
Refusing to marry and make a home of her own, she spends years working
for superficial and difficult women, trapped in the social vacuum, being neither
servant nor master. Since she unexpectedly gets fired, she ends up on the
street, without much possibilities left. In 1895, the city is full of avant-garde
artists and revolutionary ideas, but marriage still represents the only way for
a woman to secure herself. Desperate Minna asks for her sister Marthas
help. However, Martha is facing problems of her own six children and an
uninterested husband dedicated to work, who happens to be the brilliant
but arrogant Sigmund Freud. At thistime, Freud isjust a professor trying to
advance his career despite the resistance of his colleagues and their attacks
on his theories, focusing mostly on sexual instincts. But while Martha is
appalled with pornographic theories of her husband, her sister is impressed
with his astounding discoveries.
Minna is whatever Martha is not
intellectually curious, attractive and
passionate. At the beginning, Minna
and Freuddevelop something that
appears as aspiritual connectedness;
however, something much stronger
appears under the surface inevitable
disaster that Minna will not be able
to escape. In this enticing story
about love, loyalty and betrayal, the
imagination and reality intertwine
spontaneously. After many years of
research, Karen Mack and Jennifer
Kaufmann created an irresistible
portrait of an unforgettable woman
and presented her struggle to
reconcile her love for hersister with
herobsessive desire for her sisters
husband, the famous father of
psychoanalysis.

Sarajevo izbacio iz zglobne aice, uinio ga drugaijim, dao mu

The Last Call in Sarajevo,
Dr Nele Karajli
Dr Nele Karajli is one of the most precious insiders of the yet
untold story about Yugoslavia, the country that played rock-
and-roll, even in the week when Hase is Gone and when The
Marshal Dropped Dead and when Vukota Got Married!Right
before us, there is an irresistible story about growing up,
maturing and aging in a country that broke up ferociously, and
then formed a free territory in our memories.
The Last Call in Sarajevo is a hard, rather painful and certainly
nostalgic browsing through the memories of one of the Sarajevo
gang members, who made that city in Yugoslavia from the
Tito times very special. New Primitivism kicked Sarajevo out
of its position, made it different, and granted it with an aureole
of avant-garde, with the movements brightest star Dr Nele
Karajli. This is his story, honest and witty. The story without
which the pre-war Sarajevo the city of gangs and losers
is impossible to fully understand. In this story, Nele is a
dreamer about the sunny side of the street, a nave victim, a
walking visionary, the source of never-ending ideas, bunch
of fears. Inside the covers of The Last Call in Sarajevo, you
will discover some details necessary to fully understand who
they were or who they are today, people from Sarajevo whose
names, creations and
careers contributed
to the building up
of thememories of
Sarajevo other than the
assassination of Franz
Ferdinand. This kind
of life could move, and
did move, only from
the penalty line of the
football club Vratnik, in
the 1970s, to the First
Coronary Care Unit of
the Emergency Room
in Belgrade, forty years
later. This book contains
everything important
that happened between
these two physical and
temporal lines.

This Is Not a Happy Place, Vladimir Arsenijevi
The compilation of stories This Is Not a
Happy Place represents a universal mosaic
of narratives about unusual people from
various cities of the world: New Jersey,
Honolulu, London, Belgrade, Tijuana
and many others. This Is Not a Happy
Place is also a unique journey through
history, having in mind that stories in this
compilation happen over the course of a

Dosije Bogorodica, Vanja Buli
Kakvu tajnu krije plavi safir sa ogrlice Majke Boje?
Kakva je sudbina dve najvee hrianske svetinje koje
su nekad titile malteke vitezove, a danas se nalaze na
Cetinju? udnom igrom sudbine ili Boje promisli, dve
najvee hrianske svetinje desna ruka Jovana Krstitelja i
udotvorna ikona Bogorodica Filermosa nale su se u Cetinju.
Odnete iz Jerusalima u jedanaestom veku, tokom krstakih
ratova, relikvije su sedam vekova bile zatitni znak maltekih
vitezova. Beei pred Napoleonom, viteki red ih je predao
ruskom caru Pavlu I, a posle Oktobarske revolucije preiveli
Karaorevi. Drugi svetski rat svetinje provode skrivene u
manastiru Ostrog. Nakon osloboenja, komunistike vlasti
ih prebacuju u policijski sef u Titogradu, dananjoj Podgorici.
Proi e skoro etvrt veka dok konano ne izau na svetlost
dana... Jedna od njih, meutim, sada je oskrnavljena: sa
Bogorodiine ogrlice ukradeni su jedan dijamant i veliki
plavi safir neprocenjive vrednosti. Ova vest podstai e
novinara Novaka Ivanovia da krene u potragu za ukradenim
draguljima. Na tom opasnom pohodu Novak postaje talac
meunarodne zavere u ijoj senci je mladi arapski princ,
kolovan u Americi, koji, iako protivnik terorizma, doivljava
napad Amerike na Irak kao ponovni rat hriana i muslimana.
Hrabri novinar tako ulee u meusobne konflikte dve religije,
dve crkve, dve drave, dve tajne policije, a prate ga jo uvek

Dossier Mother of God, Vanja Buli
What is the secret hidden behind the blue sapphire in the
necklace of the Mother of God?
What is the destiny of the two greatest Christian sanctities
that once protected the Knights of Malta, and now are placed
in Cetinje? In the strange game of faith or Gods providence,
the two greatest Christian sanctities the right hand of St.
John the Baptist and the magical icon of the Holy Mother
of God of Phileremosa are found in Cetinje. Taken from
Jerusalem in the 11th century, during the crusades, the relics
represented a signifying symbol of the knights of Malta for
seven centuries. Trying to escape Napoleon, the order of
the knights handed them to the Russian Tsar Pavle I. After
the October Revolution, the surviving heirs of the Romanov
dynasty passed them on to the Karaorevi dynasty to
be taken care of. Throughout World War II, the sanctities
were hidden in the Ostrog monastery. After deliberation,
the communist government transferred them to the police
depository in Titograd, presently Podgorica. Almost a quarter
of a century would pass by, before they finally reached the
daylight However, one of them has been violated: the
priceless diamond and blue sapphire have been stolen. This
information will urge a journalist, Novak Ivanovic, to start the
search for the stolen gems. In this dangerous quest, Novak
becomes a hostage of international conspiracy, shadow-
driven by a young Arabian prince, educated in United States,
who, although opposing terrorism, takes part in the attack of
America against Iraq as another war between Christians and
Muslims.The brave journalist involves himself into conflicts
between two religions, two churches, two states, two secret
polices, while still being followed by powerful shadows of
the past: the knights of Malta, Udba, Josip Broz, Winston
Churchil, English and Russian Crowns At the same
time, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the search
for missing jewels, the assassin enters the monastery of
Cetinje

 PUTOVANJA / TRAVEL

Vanja Gavrovski
Na listi mojih elja je Kjoto dragulj Japana
Vanja Gavrovski, PR menader Lagune, voli da putuje i to ini kad god joj brojne
obaveze omoguavaju. Ipak, najvie voli da razne destinacije obilazi leti. Jedna od
njih je Kotor, kojem se uvek rado vraa

On my wish list is Kyoto - the jewel of Japan

Vanja Gavrovski, P.R Manager of Laguna, likes to travel and does so whenever her
many commitments allow her to take a break. She prefers to visit certain destinations
in summer, such as Kotor, where she keeps going back ...

Top pet destinacija koje ste posetili ili elite da posetite?
Posle mnogo godina, prolog leta boravila sam u Kotoru, koji me je
svojom lepotom oarao i uao u mojih top pet destinacija. Kotor je
magian grad, smeten u podnoju Lovena, u Bokokotorskom zalivu,
koji je po svojoj lepoti i izgledu jedinstven na itavom Mediteranu.
Jo jedan grad mi se uvukao u srce i nije me ostavio ravnodunom.
Ajfelov toranj, Luvr, Notr Dam, Trokadero, Versaj, Mulen ru su sim-
boli Pariza, grada svetlosti, mostova, vene ljubavi, umetnosti, mode.
Pariz je grad koji nikad ne spava, svojevrsni centar sveta i grad u koji
sam se zaljubila. Znam da u jo mnogo puta etati ulicama Pariza.
Nekoliko puta sam bila na afrikom kontinentu, ali su mi neke des-
tinacije ostale nedosanjan san. Moj avanturistiki duh i dalje eli da
upoznaje Afriku jer mi se ini da nisam videla sve: divni svet dungle,
surovost pustinje, lepote okeana, reka i vodopada. Kejptaun je grad
koji elim da otkrijem, u okviru regije ovog grada nalazi se i Rt dobre
nade, najvei prirodni rezervat u Africi, koji mi je posebno inspirati-
van. Na listi mojih elja je i Kjoto, dragulj Japana. Kada procvetaju
trenje, ovaj grad izgleda spektakularno prekriven sjajnocrvenim
liem.
Volim putovanja, tako da planiram da obiem brda u portugalskoj do-
lini Douro, Maldive, Kvebek, Singapur
Da li vie volite da idete preko agencija ili samostalno?
Gradove u Evropi volim da poseujem u sopstvenoj reiji. Ne volim
ogranienja i zato mi je samostalna organizacija veoma dragocena.
Volim dobro da se pripremim, tako da unapred saznam sve i napravim
svoj plan obilaska. Usluge agencija su mi dragocene kod izbora hotela
i izbora prevoznog sredstva.
Which are the five top destinations that you have
visited or want to visit?
After a long time I visited Kotor and it enchanted me with its beauty and
became part of my top five destinations. Kotor is a magical city nestled
at the foot of Loven, in the Bay of Kotor, which is unique in the whole
Mediterranean due to its beauty and unique look. There is another town
that got into my heart and does not leave me indifferent. The EiffelTower,
the Louvre, Notre Dame, Trocadero, Versailles and Moulin Rouge are
symbols of Paris, the city of light, bridges, eternal love, art and fashion.
Paris is a city that never sleeps a sui generis center of the world and a city
that I fell in love with. I am sure that I will spend a lot of time walking
through the streets of Paris. I have visited several times the African
continent, but some destinations have remained as an unfulfilled dream.
My adventurous spirit wishes to know Africa better, because I think that
I have not seen everything: the wonderful world of the jungle, the rigors
of the desert, the beauty of the ocean, rivers and waterfalls. Cape Town is
a city that I would like to discover. In that area you can visit the Cape of
Good Hope, the largest natural reserve inAfrica, which I find particularly
inspiring. On my wish list is Kyoto, the jewel of Japan. When the cherry
blossoms, the city looks spectacular, covered with bright red leaves.
I love traveling and therefore I plan to visit the hills on the Douro Valley
of Portugal, the Maldives, Quebec, Singapore etc.
Do you prefer to travel using the services of a
travel agency or independently?
I love to visit European towns independently. I do not like restrictions
and that is why I prefer to organize the travel by myself. I like to prepare
myself well, to know everything in advance and to carry out my entire

158 www.globe-magazine.com
Preferirate li luksuzne hotele ili smetaj
u sopstvenoj reiji?
Hedonista sam i volim lepe stvari, lepe hotele, udoban smetaj, dobru
hranu. Putovanja su onaj trenutak u ivotu kada treba da uivaju sva
ula, tako da su hoteli sa dobrim sadrajima uvek moj izbor. Volim
hotele koji su lepo dekorisani, sa sobama ispunjenim prirodnom
svetlou i opremljeni modernim tehnologijama koje su tu kako bi
sva oekivanja gosta bila ispunjena.
Gde biste voleli opet da odete, kakav tip putovanja
volite i s kim?
Uivam u aroliji ljubavi i volela bih da s dekom provedem neko-
liko nedelja u nekom lepom, egzotinom letovalitu, izolovanom
od guve i buke. Nismo jo odabrali destinaciju, bie dovoljno da
imamo jedno drugo, bistro more i dugu peanu plau. U nedostatku
slobodnog vremena, uvek dobro dou i vikend putovanja. Sa neko-
liko dobrih prijateljica moe se savreno uivati u kratkom predahu
takvih putovanja, a tu je i neizostavni oping, koji devojkama uvek
donosi zabavu i radost. Moja najbolja drugarica i ja esto uivamo u
takvim avanturama.
Hrana koju ste probali i ostala Vam je u seanju?
Hrana u mojoj porodici predstavlja pravi uitak. Kad god smo u
prilici, volimo da obedujemo zajedno. Putujui, probala sam speci-
jalitete iz raznih krajeva sveta, ali najvie volim italijansku kuhinju,
testenine, kafu i tiramisu. Oboavam testenine, matovite prelive,
masline, parmezan, miriljave mediteranske zaine... Posle obroka
visit plan. The services of travel agencies are very valuable, when I
have to choose hotels and means of transport.
Do you prefer luxury hotels or privately arranged
accommodation?
I am a hedonist. I love beautiful things, beautiful hotels, comfortable
accommodation and good food. Traveling represents one of those
moments in life, when you need to delight all your senses. That is why I
always choose good hotels. I love hotels that are beautifully decorated,
with rooms filled with natural light and equipped with modern
technologies that are there to ensure that all expectations are met.
Where would you like to go again, what kind of travel do
you like and with whom?
I enjoy the magic of love and I would like to spend a few weeks with
my boyfriend in a beautiful, exotic resort isolated from the hustle and
bustle. We have not chosen a destination yet, but it will be enough if have
one another, a clear blue sea and a long sandy beach.When I do not have
much free time, I enjoy a short weekend trip. With a few good friends you
can always have a short and pleasant break. That includes the inevitable
shopping that girls love so much. My best friend and I often enjoy such
adventures.
Which food have you tried? Which remained
in your memory?
In my family food represents a real pleasure. We dine together, whenever
we can. While traveling, I have tried dishes from all over the world, but

Na listi mojih elja je Kjoto dragulj Japana / On my wish list is Kyoto - the jewel of Japan
volim dobar tiramisu, jo jedan italijanski specijalitet. Volim taj ukus
pikote natopljene crnom kafom i maskarpone sirom.
Kako se pakujete, ta nikako ne zaboravljate da ponesete?
Kakav odmor volite?
Ve dugo unazad, imam standardnu listu za putovanja, koja mi pomae
da budem organizovanija i da se brzo i lako spakujem. Uvek planiram
kombinacije za dan i vee, ali umem da ponesem i stvari za trening.
Volim da vebam kad god mi to mogunosti i vreme omoguavaju. Mala
crna haljina i visoke potpetice jesu neto bez ega ne polazim na puto-
vanje. Nekoliko kombinacija vie u odnosu na broj dana ponekad optereti
kofer, ali me nikada nisu prekorili na aerodromu. Na kraju krajeva, uvek
se rukovodim time da, iako zaboravim neto, gde god da odem postoje
prodavnice i sve moe da se kupi. Dobro drutvo, dobro raspoloenje,
dobra knjiga, vedrina i osmeh meni su najvaniji, gde god da krenem.
Koja zemlja Vas je najvie inspirisala za pisanje?
Na Mediteranu bih mogla da ivim i da piem Taj posao, ipak ostav-
ljam profesionalcima. Poneka zabeleka sa nekog putovanja za sada
je jedini trag koji ostavljam na papiru. Profesionalno sam vezana za
izdavatvo i knjige, ali ne za pisanje, pa u tom pogledu i ne traim
inspiraciju na putovanjima.
Gde biste se rado vratili, koje ste zemlje posetili
vie puta?
Volim Italiju, Grku, mediteransku klimu i toplo more. Volim Be, u
kojem uvek dobro opingujem, i Pariz, koji ne mogu da ne volim. Uvek
se rado vraam u one zemlje i gradove koji su me uinili srenom.

I especially love Italian cuisine, pasta, coffee and tiramisu. I love pasta,
imaginative toppings, olives, cheese, fragrant Mediterranean herbs etc.
After the meal I love a good tiramisu, another Italian specialty. I love
the taste ladyfingers soaked in black coffee and mascarpone cheese.
How do you pack, what do you always bring with you
and, of course, what type of holiday do you prefer?
I have had a standard list of travel items, which helps me to be more
organized and to pack in a faster and easier way. I always carry
combinations for day and night, but I can also carry things for training. I
like to make exercises whenever I can and I have time. A littleblack dress
and high heels are something without which I never leave on a trip.I
carry a few more combinations than the number of days I will travel,
and that can overburden my case, but I have never been reprimanded
at the airport. By the end of the day, I think that if I forget something,
there are shops wherever and everything can be bought. Good company,
good humor, good books, serenity, a smile and positrons are the most
important to me wherever I go.
Which country has inspired you most for writing?
I could live and write in the Mediterranean. However I will leave that
job to the professionals. So far, a few travel notes are the only traces of
my adventure left on the paper. Professionally, I am bound to publishing
and books, but I have not decided to become a professional writer. That
is why I do not look for inspiration in my travels.
Where would you like to go back? Which country
have you visited several times?
I love Italy, Greece, the Mediterranean climate and the warm sea. I
love Vienna, where shopping is always good and Paris, which I cannot
abstain from loving. I am always glad to return to the countries and
cities that have made me happy.

Lebanese cuisine is one of the healthiest in the world and enjoys

a worldwide reputation for its richness and variety as well as,
of course, its health factor. The Lebanese gastronomy is a rich
mixture of various products and ingredients coming from the
diverse Lebanese regions. Olive oil, herbs, spices, fresh fruits
and vegetables are commonly used, as well as dairy products,
cereals, fishes and various types of meat. The Lebanese cuisine
includes the traditional Lebanese Meza, an elaborate variety of
one hundred fifty hot and cold dishes. A typical Mezze may con-
sist of Tabboule and Fattouch, together with the caviars: Hom-
mos and Moutabal, and some patties such as the Sambousseks
and finally the stuffed grape leaves, with of course the Lebanese
flat pita bread which is essential to every Lebanese Mezze. We
are going to present seven recipes. The Arak, an anise-flavored
liqueur, is the National Lebanese alcoholic drink and is usually
served with the traditional convivial Lebanese meals. Another
Lebanese drink, which is worth savoring, is the Lebanese wine,
which is now enjoying a worldwide reputation.

4 bunches of Parsley chopped finely, drained 1 bunch of fresh green
mint chopped finely, drained 5 medium sized tomatoes chopped, drained
1 small white onion chopped finely 1/4 cup of fine Burghul (fine cracked
wheat #1) 1/3 to 1/2 cup of quality olive oil 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed
7-Spices*
Tabbouleh Preparation Method
1. Rinse all vegetables and let dry, especially the parsley and mint.
2. Cut stems off parsley then chop finely. Spread chopped parsley on
paper towels and let rest for a few minutes in order to get rid of the
moisture. Parsley needs to be dry of moisture before adding it to the
mixing bowl.
3. Cut stems off mint, and finely chop the leaves. Lay them on a
paper towel and let dry.
4. Chop tomatoes into small cubes of less than 1/2 in then place in
strainer to rid them of the juice.
5. Finely chop onions and mix with 7-spices.
6. Finely chop the cucumber.
Serving and Tips
Once mixed, Tabbouleh gets soggy rather quickly, so its best if you
mix it immediately before serving. Moreover, make sure that when
you add the chopped veggies to the mixing bowl, that they are dry of
moisture and juice otherwise your salad turns soggy. Ideally you want
the juice in the salad to be mostly from the lemon juice and olive oil.
Use only freshly-squeezed lemon juice. So if you want to prepare the
ingredients in advance, do the chopping, then dry with strainer/paper
towels, then place ingredients side by side in a bowl or deep tray (as
in the photo above), and put in the fridge.
Once ready to serve, add the lemon juice on top of the dry Burghul,
add the olive oil and salt all over the ingredients and then mix lightly
with a fork and avoid over-mixing so it doesnt turn soggy. Having the
Tabbouleh served on a lettuce or cabbage leaf is a cool tradition.
* Lebanese 7-Spices contain equal proportions of the following ground spices:
Allspice, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Ground Cloves, Ground Nutmeg, Fenugreek,
Powdered Ginger

Instructions
1. Rinse the dry chickpeas to get rid of any debris, then soak for 10
hours with teaspoon of baking soda. If you dont prefer to use bak-
ing soda, youll just have to boil them for a longer time so they get
soft. Baking soda helps softening them quicker.
2. Once ready, empty the soaked chickpeas in a colander/filter to get
rid of the soaking water, then rinse it with fresh cold water really well.
3. Add the chickpeas to a cooking pot with teaspoon of baking
soda (optional, just to speed the process) and then add about 6 cups of
water (or until water covers the chickpeas by about inch).
4. Bring it to a boil on high heat, then let it simmer on low heat for
about 1 hour while the pot is covered.
5. Check up on the chickpeas 45 minutes into simmering to see if its
done. The test is simple, try to crush a chickpea with your fingers, if it
crushes easily and feels smooth then its done.
6. Once the chickpeas are cooked, and while still hot add them
immediately to a food processor with to 1 cup of warm water and
grind for a 3-5 minutes at low speed.

9. Notes: Some folks suggest adding the boiled chickpeas water to the
food processor instead of regular warm water. You could do that and
result in a slightly richer taste, however the resulting hummus may be a
bit tougher on the tummy due to all the baking soda in the water.
10. As soon as the water starts boiling, a white foam will appear on the
top, try to scrape out as much of it as possible (without removing water).

Priprema listova:
1.Ukoliko koristite listove vinove loze iz konzerve, izbacite vodu iz
konzerve, a onda potopite listove u istu toplu vodu 3 do 4 minuta.
Isperite listove nekoliko puta sveom vodom kako bi uklonili kon-
zervanse.
2. Ukoliko koristite svee ubrane listove vinove loze, birajte mlade
listove koji su svetlije boje i mekani, srednje veliine. Dobro ih oper-
ite, a onda kuvajte na niskoj temperaturi oko 40 minuta.
3. Kada je lie spremno, isecite drke i naslaite na dasku za
seenje, spremite se da uvijate!
Kako da uvijate listove vinove loze
1. Poloite listove ravno na dasku za seenje sa grubljom stranom
nagore.
2. Dodajte kaiice punjenja pri dnu lista kao na slici dole.
3. Uvijte donji deo lista preko punjenja, do jedne treine

5. Prebadice levu stranu preko, do jedne treine
6. Potom ih uvijte do kraja lista
7. Dobro uvijanje mora biti vrsto, kako se ne bi razdvojilo tokom
kuvanja. Volimo da pravimo rolnice srednje veliine ili male, de-
bljine od oko ina i duine 3 ina.
8. Kada je uvijeno, poreajte rolnice vinove loze gusto u posudu
ije je dno pokriveno slojem iseckanog crnog luka i slojem iseck-
anog paradajza.

trebalo da prekrije rolnice vinove loze.
3. Dodajte mali tanjir (koji se moe koristiti u mikrotalasnoj) povrh
i pritisnite nadole i ostavite u posudi dok se kuva. Tanjir pritiska
rolnice nadole kako bi ih bolje drao skupljene.

sigurni da je sos pravilno rasporeen i da nije samo na jednoj strani.
Posluivanje i saveti
1. Kada su kuvane, skinite poklopac sa posude i ostavite da stoji
oko 1 vremena da se ohladi. Za to vreme e rolnice vinove loze upiti

Preparing the Leaves
1. If using canned grape leaves, get rid of water from can then soak
leaves in clean hot water for 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse leaves multiple
times with fresh water to get rid of any preservatives.
2. If using freshly picked green grape leaves, make sure to pick the
young leaves that are light in color and tender with a medium size.
Wash well then boil on low heat for about 40 minutes.
3. Once leaves are ready, cut off their stems and stack them on a
cutting board, and lets get ready to roll!
How to Roll the Grape Leaves
1. Lay the leaves flat on a cutting board with the rough side facing
upwards.
2. Add teaspoon of stuffing towards the bottom of the leaf as in
the photo below.
3. Roll bottom of leaf over the stuffing, rd of the way
4. Fold right side over, rd of the way
5. Fold left side over, rd of the way
6. Then roll all the way through the end of the leaf
7. A good roll needs to be tight so that it doesnt break apart during
cooking. We like to make medium to small rolls, about inch thick
and 3 inches long.
8. Once rolled, stack the grape leave rolls tightly in a pot with its
bottom covered with a layer of sliced onions and a layer of sliced
tomatoes.
Cooking the Grape Leaves
1. Once youve finished adding the rolls, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of
salt on top, add th cup of lemon juice, cup of olive oil, 2 cups of
water
2. Shake the pot sideways to let the liquids seep all the way through
the bottom. The liquid should top the grape leave rolls.
3. Add a small (microwave-safe) plate on top and press it down-
wards and leave in pot while cooking. The plate creates a downward
pressure on the grape leave rolls to keep them tightly held together.
4. Cover the pot and cook for a few minutes on high heat until the
sauce boils, at which time turn the heat down to low and let simmer
and cook for about 35 minutes.
5. Every 10 mins or so, shake and swing the pot slowly to ensure
that the sauce is equally dispersed and isnt stuck on one side.
Serving and Tips
1. Once cooked uncover pot and let rest for about 1 hour to cool
down. During this time the grape leave rolls will absorb more sauce
and enhance in flavors (optional)
2. Once ready to serve, empty the sauce from the pot in a separate
container, then put your serving plate upside down on top of the
cooking pot, and while holding them tightly together turn them over
quickly so the pot is now on top and the serving plate on the bottom.
3. Lay serving plate on the kitchen counter and slowly lift up and
remove the pot from the plate. You should now have a nice looking
pile of neatly stacked grape leave rolls with the tomatoes and onions
on top. You can then add a bit of its sauce on it to taste.

Beogradu. Zahvaljujui ovoj putujuoj vinskoj manifestaciji, uskoro e vinska
ponuda u Srbiji biti bogatija za neke nove etikete najboljih italijanskih vina

BALKAN WINE EXPO 2014

Soon, new Italian wines in Belgrade

The third Balkan Wine Expo, which was held this year for the first time in Belgrade,
has just finished. Thanks to this traveling wine event, the Serbian wine market
will be enriched with the labels of the best Italian wines.

B T
eogradski hotel Holiday Inn i njegov kongresni
centar Belexpocentar bio je ove godine domain
vinske radionice Balkan Wine Expo koja je pred-
stavila 40 proizvoaa vina iz 12 italijanskih
regija i dva velika konzorcijuma Consorzio di
Tutela Vini Soave in Veneto i Consorzio di Tutela Lugana
Doc in Lombardia. Dogaaj su posetili brojni profesionalci iz vin-
skog sveta Srbije somelijeri, restorateri, hotelijeri, distributeri, kupci i
predstavnici brojnih medija koji su imali priliku da probaju vie od 300
etiketa vina vrhunskog kvaliteta.
Italijani su poznati po tome da u svemu vole da uivaju, a naroito
u hrani i piu. Iako proizvode odlina pia, kao to su grapa (rakija
od groa), sambuka (slina uzu), limunino (liker od limuna), ver-
mut i martini, ipak su najpoznatiji po proizvodnji vina. Iako je re
o maloj vinarskoj zemlji, oko 30 odsto ukupne svetske proizvodnje
potie upravo iz Italije. Odlini prirodni uslovi, mediteranska klima,
Alpi, dobar sastav zemljita, voda i sunce su idealni za uzgoj groa,
a samim tim i vina.
U Italiji postoji 20 vinskih regiona, a na ovogodinjem Balkan Wine
Expo su se predstavili proizvoai iz 12 italijanskih regija. Meu
njima su najpoznatije Toskana, Piemont i Veneto (jedan od veih re-
giona), ali ne treba zanemariti ni ostale regione: Lombardia, Friuli
Venezia Giulia, Trentino Alto Adige, Marche, Lazio, Umbria, Abru-
zzo, naroito region Sicilia i Sardegna.
Na sve profesionalce iz vinskog sveta poseban utisak ostavila je de-
gustacija pod nazivom Podneblja savrenstva, koja je organizovana uz
podrku Udruenja somelijera Srbije, a tokom koje su dva velika kon-
zorcijuma predstavila posebna vina Soave i Lugana.
Mnoge sorte italijanskih vina su nepoznate, jer groe od kojih se prave
najbolje uspeva u Italiji, ali se u ostatku sveta manje uzgajaju jer ne us-
pevaju najbolje. Meutim, prema reima organizatora ovog dogaaja,
Alvara de Anne, urednika izdavake kue Bacco Arianni, neke od tih
posebnih sorti vina uskoro emo videti i u Beogradu jer su utisci i
izlagaa i poznavalaca ovog boanskog pia i te kako pozitivni.
Postignut je glavni cilj, a to je upoznavanje, kao i razmena infor-
macija koja je rezultirala saradnjom. Utisak veine uesnika jeste da
je dogaaj jako dobro organizovan, da je odziv bio fenomenalan, da
su Sajam posetili ljudi koji su veliki poznavaoci vina, kako sa tehnike
strane tako i sa komercijalne. S druge strane, i posetioci su zadovoljni
ponudom jer su videli da su italijanski proizvoai doneli najbolje iz
svoje ponude, to jo uvek nije prisutno na srpskom tritu istakao
je Alvaro de Anna.
Jedno od poznatih italijanskih vina koje e se uskoro nai na srpskom
tritu jeste vino Felugan iz vinarije Feliciana Lombardia, koje je od
strane italijanskog konzorcijuma proizvoaa Lugane proglaeno za
najbolju Luganu 2013. godine.
Naa vinarija ima dugu tradiciju. Proizvodimo bela vina i jedno cr-
veno, a ove godine smo izloili Luganu. Ovo vino je visoko cenjeno
od strane italijanskih proizvoaa Lugane, a jako dobro su ga ocenili
i distributeri iz Srbije, tako da ve moemo najaviti da e se naa vina
nakon ovog Sajma pojaviti na srpskom tritu izjavio je Massimo
Sbruzzi, vlasnik vinarije Feliciana Lombardia.
Poslednjih godina svedoci smo velikog porasta ponude uvoznih vina
na naem tritu i injenice da kvalitet postaje odluujui faktor pri-
likom izbora. Upravo to je primetio i Alvaro de Anna prilikom svojih
poseta Beogradu.
Vinska kultura u Srbiji je na zavidnom nivou. Primetili smo da u restor-
anima imate brojne italijanske etikete vina i rakija i pored toga to se
u Srbiji proizvodi dobro domae vino, iji je odnos kvaliteta i cene vie
nego zadovoljavajui. Dakle, prepoznali smo Srbiju kao nae strateko
vinsko trite izjavio je Alvaro De Ane, organizator vinske manifest-
acije Balkan Wine Expo.

HRANA I PIE / FOOD & DRINK
he Belgrade hotel Holiday Inn, and its Congress
Center Belexpocentar were this years hosts of
the wine workshop Balkan Wine Expo, which
presented 40 wine producers from 12 Italian re-
gions and two consortia - Consorzio di TutelaVini
Soave in the Veneto and the Consorzio di TutelaLugana Doc
in Lombardia. The event was visited by numerous professionals from
the wine industry of Serbia - sommeliers, restaurateurs, hoteliers, dis-
tributors, buyers and mass-media representatives, who had the opportu-
nity to taste more than 300 labels of high quality wines.
Italians are known for enjoying everything, especially food and drink.
Although they produce excellent beverages, such as grappa (grape
brandy), sambuca (similar to Ouzou), Limoncello (lemon liqueur),
vermouth and martini, nevertheless they are most famous for the pro-
duction of wine. Although it is a small winemaking country, about 30
percent of the global production of wine comes from Italy. Excellent
natural conditions, the Mediterranean climate, the Alps, the good com-
position of the soil, water and sun are ideal for the production of grapes,
and therefore wine.
In Italy there are 20 wine regions, out of which twelve were represented
in this years edition of Balkan Wine Expo. Among the most popular
are Tuscany, Piedmont and Veneto (one of the largest in the region),
but we should not neglect the rest of Lombardy, Friuli Venezia Giulia,
Trentino Alto Adige, Marche, Lazio, Umbria, Abruzzo, and especially
Sicilia and Sardinia.
All the professionals from the wine industry were especially impressed
by the wine tasting called The lands of perfection, organized with the
support of the Association of Sommeliers of Serbia, during which the
two consortia presented the special wines Soave and Lugana.
Many varieties of Italian wines are unknown, because the grapes used
to produce them grow best in Italy, but they are rare or non-existing
elsewhere. However, according to Alvaro de Anna, editor of the pub-
lishing house Bacco Arianna and organizer of this event, some of these
special wines will soon be available in Belgrade, because the impres-
sions of both, exhibitors and experts, about this divine drink were
certainly positive.
The main goal was achieved, which was to make acquaintance and
exchange information, in order to ensure cooperation. The impression
of most participants is that the event was very well organized, that the
response was excellent and that the fair was visited by people, who are
great connoisseurs of wine from both, the technical and the commercial
point of view. On the other hand, also visitors were satisfied with the
offer, because they saw that the Italian manufacturers made the best of
their offers, which is not always present on the Serbian market - said
Alvaro de Anna.
One of the leading Italian wines that will be soon on the Serbian market
is Felugan from Feliciana Lombardia, which was declared the best Lu-
gano wine of 2013 by the Italian consortium of Lugano manufacturers.
Our winery has a long tradition. We produce white wines and one red
wine. This year we presented ourLugano wine, which was highly appre-
ciated by the Italian manufacturers of Lugano and very well received by
Serbian distributors. Therefore, we can announce that, after this event,
our wines will be available on the Serbian market - said Massimo Sbru-
zzi, owner of Feliciana Lombardia winery.
In recent years we have witnessed a large increase in the supply of im-
ported wines in our market and as a matter of fact, quality is a decisive
factor in the election. This is exactly what Alvaro de Anna observed
during his visit to Belgrade.
-Wine culture in Serbia is at a very high level. We noticed that restau-
rants offer numerous Italian wines and spirits, in spite of the fact that
Serbia produces good wines, whose ratio of quality and price is more
than satisfactory. That is why; we recognize Serbia as our strategic wine
market - said Alvaro De Anna, organizer of Balkan Wine Expo.

Mateus
Moji modeli namenjeni su jakim,
samosvesnim enama
Vanije od stila je da imate linost

Modna dizajnerka Marijana Mateus je, nakon uspeha na polju modnog dizajna, proirila de-
latnost i na industrijski dizajn, sa posebnim fokusom na izradu poslovnih uniformi za mnoge
poznate kompanije. Tako je posetiocima Sajma turizma u Beogradu predstavljena marama ins-
pirisana srpskom prestonicom, koju je kreirala specijalno za Turistiku organizaciju Beograda.
Marama na sebi ima etiri venca razliite boje koje simbolizuju etiri godinja doba. Nakon
sajamske promocije, marama je u prodaji u Turistikom informativnom centru u Knez Mihailo-
voj. Ovo je samo jedna od naih poslovnih aktivnosti uspeno kreiramo uniforme za mnoge
hotele, restorane, bolnice i banke.

My models are designed for strong,

self-conscious women
Having a personality is more important than style
After her success in the field of fashion, designer Marijana Mttheus expanded activities
to industrial design, with a special focus on the development of business uniforms for many
well-known companies. A scarf inspired by the Serbian capital and specifically created for
the Tourist Organization of Belgrade was presented to the visitors of the Tourist Fair of
Belgrade. The scarf has four different colored wreaths that represent the four seasons and
after the presentation it was already on sale at the Tourist Info-center in KnezMihailovas-
treet. That isjust one of our successful business activities. We create uniforms for many
hotels, restaurants, hospitals and banks.

Moji modeli namenjeni su jakim, samosvesnim enama / My models are designed for strong, self-conscious women
Recite nam neto o svojim planovima i ta trenutno
pripremate?
Poslednjih nekoliko meseci intenzivno sam radila na kolekcijama za Sa-
jam turizma u Beogradu, gde su prikazani modeli moje Lux Uniforms
kompanije, a posle sam uestvovala i na Sajmu kozmetike, gde smo
prikazali kolekciju za spa i velnes. U aprilu planiramo predstavljanje
kolekcije uniformi na crnogorskom sajmu turizma. Pored toga, krei-
ram garderobu za tri glavna enska lika u pozorinoj predstavi Cimet i
vanila. Ovo mi je druga prilika da radim sa pozoritem, nakon uspene
saradnje na filmu Parada, reisera Srana Dragojevia.
Kakva je zamisao Vae nove kompanije?
Lux Uniforms je kompanija koja distribuira uniforme i nudi specijali-
zovanu i promotivnu robu koja ispunjava sve zahteve klijenata. Nai
klijenti su male i velike korporacije, restorani, bolnice i firme koje
proizvode hranu. Nudimo i dodatne usluge vez, sito tampu i pri-
vatno etiketiranje. Uniforma uvek mora da bude udobna, funkcionalna
i izraena od kvalitetnog materijala. Najvanije je da naruilac bude
zadovoljan.
Na koja trita planirate da se proirite?
Ve dve godine uspeno radimo na domaem tritu. Moji poslovni pla-
novi su dugoroni i vezani za inostranstvo. Na leto planiram poslove u
Crnoj Gori, a da bi sve ovo bilo zaista isplativo, trebalo bi se vie okre-
nuti ka inostranom tritu, jer je izvoz neophodan kako bi se pokrenula
naa tekstilna industrija. U planu je proirenje na englesko trite na
kojem smo ve poeli da radimo.
Da li se potpuno povodite za trendovima ili samo u nekim
detaljima?
Nisam pristalica trendova stil imate ili nemate. Trendovi dolaze, odla-
ze i uvek se vraaju. Vano je da imate linost i harizmu jer ponekada
je nevano ta nosite na sebi ako nosite osmeh i sigurnost, kompletna
ste linost.
ta Vam najvie smeta na svetskoj, a ta na srpskoj
modnoj sceni?
Sva srea, pa mi nita ne smeta jer se ne bavim drugim ljudima... alu na
stranu. Odevnu kombinaciju treba prilagoditi datoj situaciji. Na naoj
modnoj sceni ima mnogo talentovanih dizajnera, ali vreme u kojem
ivimo ne dozvoljava da imamo ivu I raznovrsnu modnu scenu. Na
svetskoj modnoj sceni je mnogo lake raditi jer imate velike budete.
Koliko porodine veze mogu da pomognu u proboju
na svetsko trite?
Danas je talenat nedovoljan za uspeh. Za veinu poslova je, na samom
poetku, neizbean kontakt. Prvenstveno mora da stoji kvalitet iza vas,
teko je danas biti originalan i svoj. Mislim da samo istrajnost i veliki
rad mogu da vas dovedu na svetsko trite. Uzmimo primer Stele Ma-
kartni ona je erka poznatog muziara, talenat je nasledila od majke.
Meutim, da nije bila uporna i vredna, ne bi postala danas tako veliki
brend. Ona je primer osobe kojoj je ime bilo ulaznica za uspeh, a opsta-
nak na modnoj sceni je iskljuivo rezultat njenog rada.
Ko Vas inspirie, za koga biste kreirali?
Uvek i najvie me inspiriu moje erke. One su me ubedile da uem u
posao kreiranja u kojem sam i dan-danas. Volela bih da dizajniram mo-
dele za ene koje imaju snanu linost i koje su svoje, volim stil Gvinet
Paltrou, Olivije Palermo i Alekse ang.

Tell us about your plans and what you are
currently preparing?
In the last few months I have been intensively working on the col-
lections for Tourist Fair of Belgrade, where my collection Lux Uni-
forms was presented. After that, I participated in the Cosmetics Fair,
where I presented the collection for spas and wellness centers. InA-
pril, we plan to update our collection of uniforms and to present it
in the Montenegrin Tourist Fair. I am also creating the wardrobe for
the three main female characters of the theater play Cinnamon and
Vanilla.This is the second time I have the chance of working with a
theater, after my successful collaboration in the film Parade, direc-
ted by bySranDragojevi.
What are your plans for the new company?
Lux Uniforms is a company that distributes uniforms and offers spe-
cialized and promotional merchandise that meets all the requirements
of clients.Our clients include small and large corporations, restau-
rants, hospitals, and companies that produce food. We offer additional
services, including embroidery, screen printing and private labeling.
Uniforms must always be comfortable, functional and made of hi-
gh-quality materials. The most important thing is that the customer
should always be satisfied.
Which markets are you planning to expand to?
We have successfully worked for two years in the domestic market.
I have long-termbusiness plans, which refer to foreign markets. In
summer I plan to work in Montenegro. In order to make things really
profitable, we should be more oriented towards foreign markets be-
cause export is necessary in order to start our textile industry.We are
also planning to expand to the English market, where we have already
begun to work.
Do you follow the newest trends or just some
details of them?
I do not support trends. You have style or you do not. Trends come, go
away and always return. What is important is having personality and
charisma, because sometimes the least important is what you wear. If
you have a smile and confidence your personality is complete.
What bothers you most in the world and what do
you dislike most on the Serbian fashion scene?
Luckily, nothing bothers me, because I do not deal with other peoples
business... joking aside.It is necessary to adjust the garment combi-
nation to each situation. There are many talented designers onour
fashion scene, but the times we live in do not allow us to have a lively
and diverse fashion scene.It is much easier abroad, because budgets
are much bigger.
How can family ties help in penetrating
the global market?
Today talent is not enough for success.Most businesses require perso-
nal contacts in the beginning. First of all you need quality. Nowadays
it is difficult to be original, to be yourself. I think that only perseve-
rance and hard work can take you to the world market. A good exam-
ple is Stella McCartney. She is the daughter of a famous musician and
inherited her mothers talent, but if she were not so persistent, diligent
and hard-working, she would have never become the important brand
she is nowadays. It is just an example, her name was her ticket to the
world scene, but she survived there thanks to her work.

Precizno, jednostavno i sigurno, kao da su godine iskustva iza nje,
iako je optereena bremenom poznatog prezimena, najvie zahvalju-
jui starijoj sestri Natai i ocu Dragoljubu.
Konano se bavim poslom o kojem sam matala jo u detinjstvu, tako
da sve polako dobija svoj smisao. Pozitivan odgovor na moje modele
veliko je ohrabrenje za mene i znak da moram da nastavim ovim pu-
tem i pokaem koliko mogu da pruim u modi. Kada veruje u sebe i
svoje snove, na pola si puta do ostvarenja istih. To je bio moj glavni
moto kojim sam se vodila i bila inspirisana stvarajui moju prvu ko-
lekciju. elja mi je da devojke i ene u mojim haljinama budu blie
ostvarenju svojih snova jer sam ja svoj san ostvarila kreirajui ih.
Svoju prvu reviju kolekcije Believe, prikazanu na nedelji mode u or-
ganizaciji kompanije Select, posvetila je modernim i slobodnim ena-
ma. One nose njene modele, kao i...
ene koje veruju u sebe i svoje principe, a najmanje panje poklanjaju
miljenju okoline. Na njih to ne moe da utie. Smatram da svako ima
prava da se izraava kroz odeu kako eli i da tana definicija stila
ne postoji. Potujem i priznajem svaiji stil jer je moda umetnost, a
u umetnosti nema pravila. Ne pokuavam drastino da utiem na stil
ljudi oko sebe jer mislim da svako ima prava da izgleda kako eli.
Trend je neto to se sezonski menja i nije ga teko pratiti. Najbitnije
je da ono to nosi ume da nosi i da se u tome osea prijatno. A around me, because I believe that everyone has the right to look the way
ukusi su razliiti.
Precise and simple. She certainly has years of experience, although
she is burdened by a famous surname, first of all because of her sister
Nataa, but also because of her father Dragoljub.
I am finally doing the work that I have dreamed from my childhood, i.e.
everything is getting its meaning. The positive response to my models
is a great encouragement for me and a sign that I have to continue this
way and show you how much I can do in the field of fashion. When you
believe in yourself and your dreams, you are halfway to accomplish
them. That is the main motto that leads my actions and inspired me
to create my first collection. My wish is that my dresses help girls and
women to achieve their dreams, because I accomplished my dreams by
creating them.
Her first fashion collection Believe was unveiled during the fashion
week organized by Select, and it was dedicated to modern and free
women. They wear her creations, as well as ...
Women who believe in themselves and their principles and pay the least
attention to the opinion of others. It just has no influence on them. I
believe that everyone has the right to express the way she or he feels
by means of clothes, that there is no exact definition for style. I respect
and recognize everyones style because fashion is art and there are no
rules for art. I do not try to influence drastically the style of the people
he or she wants. Trend is something that changes according to seasons

Kada veruje u sebe i svoje snove, na pola si puta do ostvarenja / When you believe in yourself and your dreams, you are halfway to accomplishing them
Kako Vam se ini modna scena u naoj zemlji?
Smeta mi kada drugi imaju medijsku panju koju ne zasluuju. Zapra-
vo, volela bih da se ovde vie gledaju strani kanali i itaju asopisi da
bi se videlo kako izgledaju ljudi van Srbije. Mislim da kod nas postoji
veliki broj talentovanih dizajnera, ali se za njih ne zna jer nisu medijski
zastupljeni. Raduje me, ipak, to Srbija napreduje u modnom smislu
i ljudi su spremniji da prihvate neto drugaije. Za dobar stajling ne
mora da se potroi mnogo novca, nekada cena ne garantuje kvalitet.
Ko je najbolje stilizovana javna linost u Srbiji?
Moja sestra.
Koliko se Va stil menjao s godinama?
Moj stil se menja svakodnevno. Imam razne faze, u zavisnosti od ra-
spoloenja, situacije, pa i kilae. Biti stilista ne znai imati svoj stil i
oblaiti ljude tako, ve odrediti kome kakav stil odevanja odgovara.
Oboavam da nosim kone jakne, gumene izme i iscepane, patinirane
stvari. To je moj fazon, ali kada radim za druge ljude, uvek moram da
vodim rauna i o drugim stvarima. Oboavam nakit. Volim da imam
nekoliko dobrih i kvalitetnih torbi, a imam i mnogo cipela.
Imate li neka modna pravila kojih se pridravate?
Mislim da je veoma bitno da ljudi budu svesni svog izgleda, grae i
kilae. Smatram nedopustivim da se ene, koje imaju viak kilograma,
oblae oskudno, kao to ne volim da vidim da neko skriva svoje telo
garderobom, a nema potrebe da to radi. Seksi izgled ne podrazumeva
razgolienost. Nekada je ena seksipilnija u farmerkama i beloj majici
nego u mini suknji i majici s velikim dekolteom. Mnogi misle da je
mala crna haljina modni klasik. Kada me pitate koji komad bi svaka
dama od stila morala da ima u svom garderoberu, odgovaram - starke!
Najvanije je da sluate sebe, da nosite ono u emu se dobro oseate i
da jednom meseno kupujete Vog.
U emu se najprijatnije oseate?
Najprijatnije se oseam u mukoj majici i nosim je stalno po kui,
ponekad tako odem i do prodavnice, to mi mnogi zameraju, ali ta
u kada mi je tako ugodno. Kada elim da zablistam za neku posebnu
priliku, konsultujem se s ljudima oko sebe, jer mi kau da ne vidim
sebe realno. Prihvatam savete dragih ljudi.
Idealna kombinacija za mukarca?
Oboavam mukarca u obinoj beloj majici, irokim farmericama i cr-
nim starkama pod uslovom da je fino graen. Mogla bih da budem s
mukarcem iji mi se stil ne dopada, pod uslovom da ima elju da ga
promeni, tj. da mi dozvoli da poradim na njemu.

and that is not hard to follow. The most important thing is to know
how to wear what you wear and to feel comfortable with it. Tastes
are different.
What do you think about the fashion scene in our country?
It bothers me when others have the media attention that they do not
deserve. I would like that people watch more foreign channels and read
magazines, so that they could see what people outside Serbia look like.
I think we have a huge number of talented designers, but no one heard
about them, because they have no media coverage. However, I am glad
that Serbia is progressing in terms of fashion and that people are more
willing to accept something different. Good styling does not require
spending a lot of money, because sometimes price does not guarantee
quality.
Who is the best styled public figure in Serbia?
My sister.
How has your style changed over the years?
My style changes every day. I have various phases, depending on
mood, situation, and even weight. Being a stylist does not mean hav-
ing ones style and dressing people in that way, but to define which
dress style matches each person. I love to wear leather jackets, rubber
boots and all kind of torn, patinated things. That is my style, but when
I work for other people, I must always take care of many other things.
I love jewelry and I have a lot of it. I like to have good high-quality
bags and I have a lot of shoes.
Do you have any fashion rules that you follow?
I think it is very important that people be aware of their appearance,
body structure and weight. I find it unacceptable that overweight
women dress scantily, just as I do not like to see someone hiding his/
her body under the clothes. That is not necessary. Looking sexy does
not imply nudity. Sometimes a woman is sexier wearing jeans and a
white T-shirt, than wearing a mini-skirt and a shirt with a big dcolle-
tage. For many people, the little black dress is a fashion classic. When
you ask me what every lady should have in her wardrobe, I answer -
Converse! The most important thing is to listen to yourself and wear
what makes you feel well. And to buy Vogue once a month.
In what kind of clothes do you feel best?
I feel best when I wear a mans T-shirt and I always wear one at home.
Sometimes I dress in that way when I go to the store and many people
criticized me for doing so, but what can I do when I feel so comfort-
able? When I want to shine for a special occasion, I consult the people
around me, because they tell me what I cannot see myself. I accept the
advice of the people I love.
What is the ideal combination for men?
I love men that wear plain T-shirts, wide jeans and black sneakers, on
the condition that he is well built.
I could be with a man whose style I do not like, but only if he wishes
to change, i.e. if he lets me work on his look.
