The Sibenik Times
From the editor
Mark THOMAS
W
elcome to our beautiful county and to the eighth edition of “The
Sibenik Times”. Manners make the man. This phrase is drummed
into people in England from the day they are born till the day they
die. It’s taken to such an extreme that it crosses all borders and goes to a
completely new level. Without a doubt the two most important words in
the English language are “please” and “thank you.” Almost every conver-
sation is filled with these words. I often tell people who are travelling to
England for the first time that whatever they say remember to say “please”,
“thank you” or “sorry” and you’ll fit in with the culture perfectly. As I said
this behaviour has now gone to an extreme level. So much so that if you
accidentally stand on someone’s foot you will find them apologising to you
with a polite “Oh, I’m so sorry!” You’ve just stamped on someone’s foot,
possibly injuring them in the process, and although in obvious pain your
victim will sheepishly smile and offer an apology. To an outsider it might be
unclear who has stepped on whose foot as both parties begin the battle of
apologising profusely. Is the victim actually apologising for having a foot at
the end of his leg and for “stupidly” leaving his foot in the way of a passer-
by? Politeness and manners are amplified to another level when you enter a
shop or, in fact, in any situation where customers are involved. As you walk
into a shop you will are bombarded with kind words and any question to
a member of staff will be meet with a crescendo of polite words. When I
first came to live here I was pleasantly surprised as in almost every shop I
walked into I was greeted with “Dobar dan” and a smile. Unfortunately, it
seems that this custom is becoming rarer and rarer. More and more often
just getting a smile out of the shop assistant is like getting blood out of a
stone. Manners and behaviour are taught from a very early age. It seems
that after children have learnt “Mummy” and “Daddy” the next words from
their mouths are “sorry, please and thanks.” At school you are taught to be
courteous at all times, even with your fellow pupils. This constant “manners
make the man” policy has become part of the fabric of English culture. I was
interested to see if this same policy played an important role in Croatian
culture. As I have seen and experienced many times before in many different
ways the two cultures are fundamentally different. Of course, politeness
is just as important here as it is in England it’s just that the methods and
styles are different. As opposed to using, well over using, courteous words
frequently, well over frequently, Croatians have a tendency to use them less
often but with more meaning. A friend of mine summed it up beautifully.
He said that when people said “sorry” here it really comes from the heart,
in fact it’s almost as if they are giving a piece of their heart to you. It is as if
when they are born they are given a limited number of “apologies” in their
heart and they are careful not to give them away unless they really mean
it. It’s fascinating for me to be an observer when two people are “really”
apologising to each other here. Although the apology might be about a
trivial matter the drama that ensues could give you the impression that
a life or death situation is being forgiven. The clash of cultures between
English and Croatian is also interesting to experience and I’m often in the
position to see this from first hand when mine and my wife’s family meet.
The sheer directness of Croatians compared to the more indirect style of
the English in conversations produces amusing results. One question can
give you two completely opposite answers depending on who you ask. After
living in Dalmatia for nine years I have found that I have started to adopt
some local mannerisms. Much to the frustration of my mother I often find
myself answering her questions without saying “please” or “thank you.”
This leads to situations where I am left feeling 10 years old again as my
mother replies to my answer with “what’s that little word beginning with P
that you forgot?” Remembering in which culture I am at that time I quickly
reply “Please.” In conclusion “thank you” very much for your patience in
reading this article and “please” relax for the rest of your weekend. I hope
everyone’s happy now.

FLOATING LIBRARY ON ADRIATIC
T he Croatian government are launching a novel ini-
tiative to inspire people to read this year - a floating
library. “The library ship” will sail along Croatia’s Adriatic
coast from 19 July to 1 August, stopping in 14 ports to
promote the culture of reading and writing as well as
Croatian books and writers. The ship will be filled with
books as well as Croatian writers and they will begin in
Crikvenica on the northern Adriatic coast and end in
Makarska on the southern Adriatic coast. Between the
first and the last ports, the library ship will stop in Krk,
Cres, Mali Losinj, Rab, Novalja, Sali, Sv. Filip and Jakov,
Zlarin, Sibenik, Primosten, Jelsa and Supetar. Among pa-
ssengers will be writers Enes Kisevic and Hrvoje Salkovic,
who claim that the library ship is a great way to connect
books and people and bring them closer to each other. cultural programs in the ship’s ports of call. The library
Kisevic hopes that the library ship will be as successful as ship first sailed eight years ago on the initiative of Igor

PRIMOŠTEN VINEYARDS
T he Ministry of Agriculture and the County of Sibenik
have reached agreements on the preparation of the vi-
neyards in Primošten. The existing vineyards will be replan-
ted in place of the current olive groves in the area stated
the Ministry. Also in the programme are steps to include
the sites of the vineyards into the UNESCO’s system for pro-
tecting the countryside. By the year 2011 around 12.4 milli-

FLOOD OF TOURISTS
M
ore than 280,000 foreign visitors arri-
ved in Croatia last Saturday, it has been
revealed. A report by Magyar Tavirati Iroda
news agency, as divulged by gazdasagiradio.
hu, claims the volume of traffic on the border
between the two countries has been heavy, as
people flock to Croatia for "seaside vacation
season", reports All Hungary News. Drivers to
Croatia have been cautioned the section of the
A4 motorway between the border and Zagreb,
and tolls around the city, have been busy at
peak times. The sheer volume of travellers has
also caused some delays on the A1 motorway
to Dalmatia, the news provider states. It is likely
to come as good news to the tourism industry,
which had predicted a good summer for the
country. Tourism minister Dajr Bajs told HRT te-
levision he expected the numbers visiting the
country to increase, with more than 11 million
expected to visit Croatia this year.

CROATIA
CONFIDENT ON EU
ASCENSION
C roatian President Stjepan Mesic says he expects
his country will be ready to formally join the Eu-
ropean Union as early as next year. Speaking to the
French daily newspaper Le Figaro this week, Mesic
said the EU’s internal debates brought on by Ireland’s
rejection of the Lisbon Treaty wouldn’t derail Croatia’s
admission. I understand European countries, inclu-
ding France, which intends to solve the EU’s institu-
tional problems before proceeding to any new acce-
ssions, Mesic said. We will speed up the rhythm of our
reforms and be ready in 2009 to join the EU as its 28th
member. The EU Observer said Mesic expressed con-
fidence that the Lisbon Treaty issue would be ironed
out by the union to the satisfaction of those nations
that might initially reject the pact. Croatia began pre-
paring for EU ascension in 2005 and expects to join
by 2011, the Observer said.
ST. JACOB
IN THE MONEY
T he most profitable investment in the history of
Sibenik is certainly St. Jacob’s cathedral. And this
fact was again proved last month when the cathe-
dral was featured in one of Italy’s top publications.
Bell’Europa magazine produced a 14 page article
about the cathedral including a map of the town and
various photos. This high circulation publication,
which is printed in Italian, English German, French
and Spanish, has a circulation of 95,000 copies and
the article about the St Jacob cathedral is estimated
to be around 400,000 euros worth of free publicity.
HUNGARY
FIFTH LARGEST
INVESTOR IN
CROATIA
H ungary is Croatia’s fifth biggest investment par-
tner with Hungarian capital invested in Croatia
exceeding one billion euros since 1995, a foreign
economy expert at the Hungarian Embassy in Zagreb
told MTI on Sunday. Peter Zavoczky said Hungary
came in fifth after Austria, the Netherlands, Germany
and France in terms of investments in Croatia, accor-
ding to data by the Croatian National Bank. Hungary’s
investments are propelled largely by Hungarian oil
group Mol’s share in Croatian peer INA, as well as the
presence of Hungarian market-leading OTP bank,
Zavoczky said. Among other Hungarian firms settled
long-term in Croatia he mentioned the frozen pastry
franchise Fornetti, cardboard maker Dunapack and
companies servicing CNC machines and operating
vending machines.
CROATIAN
PROPERTY EXHBITS
IN LONDON
A conference which will cover Croatia is set to take
place in London this autumn to brief potential
property developers or investors on the basics of
operating in several different European countries.
The Henry Stewart conference study on September
12th will cover “all you need to get started in a new,
active and profitable market” such as that in Croatia.
Delegates will be informed of where demand is and
what it is for, the costs of buying, selling and renting
and the typical investment, legal, occupational and
funding structures in the country. While it will not
make the individual “an instant expert” it is expected
the conference will give interested attendees a “firm
foundation for rewarding engagement” in the Croa-
tian property market.

from Hebrew, means “He who is like God”. Having in his
assistance, strength and protection, the residents of Šibe-
nik used his figure, symbolizing fearlessness and victory, in
their city seal and coat of arms. This was their way of de-
monstrating the strength of the municipality, which was
to follow their patron's example and constantly win in the
battle for preservation of their rights. The holiday St Mic-
hael has been celebrated solemnly in Šibenik throughout
the centuries. Every year on the patron's day in September
a nobleman would be accepted into the town council, and
also it was common that a prisoner would be released. On
the 12th of March 1453 the town council decreed that on
certain holidays including St Michael's day no trading was
allowed in the town ,fortress , or in the district except for
small things that were necessary for food. A very serious
penalty was enforced to those who forged the seal of St
Michael; the punishment was amputation of the right hand
and banishment from the town and its district. The image
of the town's patron saint is St Micheal overlooking the
town of Šibenik, while trampling on Lucifer thus slaying
him with a spear with his wings spread out.

LAVENDER
The Queen of fragrances, Lavender, has a long tradition
in Croatia and especially in the Dalmatia region. Its pa-
stel purple blossom is a part of the Dalmatian landscape.
Today dried lavender in small canvas bags is sold as an
authentic souvenir. It is a relatively inexpensive gift for fri-
ends and family and can also be bought in an oil form.

OLIVE OIL
Olive oil is the most used and most common fruit juice
drained from a plant. The Mediterranean people have
considered olive oil as sacred for thousands years. The
best kind of olive oil is virgin olive oil (extra virgin), and
there are still many subclasses depending on taste and
need. Some souvenir shops will sell home made olive oil
from the villages around Sibenik and this although nor-
mally darker in color has a stronger and clearer taste.

RAKIA
Rakia is hard liquor similar to brandy and vodka, popu-
lar in Croatia and among the South Slavic peoples. The
tradition of making and drinking rakia as well as all other
distilled beverages, is a lot poorer than a corresponding
wine tradition. However, the two of them are certainly in-
tertwined, since the process of distillation as we know it
today was first used by South Italian monks approxima-
tely a thousand years ago.

HOME FROM HOME Lazar Civjak

Y
ou probably don't
know a human who
doesn't have at least
one beautiful piece of gold
in his bijou box, using it for
special occasions. The gold-
smith profession is as old as
mankind and the old town
of Sibenik wouldn't be the
same without numerous
jewelry shops that have
more than just a commerci-
al role and the most impor-
tant is the aesthetic one. In
one of those golden king-
doms works Lazar Civjak, a
'golden artist' who revita-
lized traditional jewelry of
the Sibenik County such as
the 'Sibenik button', witho-
ut which any festal clothes
are not the same.
How did you end up in Si-
benik?
My family originates from
Kosovo, from Peci, from
where a numerous amo-
unt of goldsmiths come
from, but I don’t actually
remember my home town,
because my gather Simon
left Kosovo when I was only
three years old. He was a
goldsmith, too. I am the fo-
urth generation that works
with gold in my family. My
father never forced me to
become a goldsmith, but I
couldn’t resist it anyway. I
remember how I loved to
make golden stuff when fa-
ther went on some busine-
ss trip, because it was the
only free time I could do
it, as we had only one wor-
king table. Father couldn't
hide his happiness because
he knew I was in his way...
and he was right.
How have you been
accepted by the local po-
pulation?
Beautiful from the very
beginning. Now, forty ye-
ars after we arrived I feel
at home and I really don’t
feel like a foreigner. We
came here in 1964 and in
1965 my father started this
business. Three years ago
we celebrated the fortieth
anniversary but without a
big party, because we are
waiting for the fiftieth one
and we hope that we are
going to live until it.
What advice would you
give to foreign nationals
who are thinking of mo-
ving here?
Everything I need I have ri-
ght here. Sibenik is a town
for those who love a peace-
ful life, who love to have a
lot of friends, who love to
walk, who love family life,
who love to work and enjoy
themselves... Sibenik is for
those who love to love.
How often do you go back
to your country?
Not so often. But I love to
go and see the place where
I was born. I always talked
to my sons about the be-
autiful town Peci in Koso-
vo, where their granddad
came from and started the
work we live from.
What are your plans for
the future?
I hope that at least one of
my three sons will conti-
nue the family tradition.
The oldest one is Simon,
the second is Tadej and
the youngest one's name
is Bruno. Although none
of them showed any spe-
cial interest for this craft,
except the third and the
youngest one, I'm sure that
our family job wouldn't die
when I die. We don't make
only rings or earrings, but
almost everything, and
on of the most interesting
stuff is the traditional bijou
box, carefully made of pure
silver with the motifs of the
one necklace, except that
in this case the 'Sibenik bu-
tton' is five times enlarged.
Everything is hand-made
and we are going to conti-
nue with it. Many of them
ended in homes of famous
people and I'm proud of the
fact that one of my boxes
was sent to Pope John Paul
II. The information that
Croatian National Tourist
Board has chosen me for
an award for the Sibenik
button I found out from
the newspapers who came
to our workshop to make a
story of it. I didn't know that
I was even a choice. After it
the Croatian Chamber of
Trades and Crafts awarded
me, too. The creative and
not just the commercial
work is what I'm interested
in and I hope to develop
more such ideas. Now, we
even publish 'bagatin', an
old traditional Sibenik coin.
On one side of it there is a
drawing of St. Michael, the
Sibenik safeguard and on
the other side St. Marcus,
the safeguard of Venice.

A MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN IN THE HEART OF THE OLD CITY

Monastery garden
M
edieval Mediterranean Garden of St Lawrence
Monastery (MMG) in Sibenik was restored and
opened on 6th November 2007 after being for-
gotten about for a hundred years. MMG is an integral part
of the St Lawrence Monastery and an integral part of the
programs that the Sibenik Private Gymnasium has deve-
loped. The restoration project of MMG was completed by
renowned landscape architect, Dragutin Kiš, who recei-
ved the Millennium Award for Flora in Japan, 2000. This
particular type of garden is notably rare, as it is the only
one of its kind in Croatia, and there a very few in this part
of Europe. MMG follows an established medieval design:
a cross design for a pathway, small centrally located wa-
ter feature, with low growing varieties framed by box tree
and beautiful spectacular old varieties aromatic rose stan-
dards. There are four sections filled with medicinal plants
and herbs. A special place has been assigned for our
assortment of thyme in a wonderful array of red, purple,
silver, light and dark green foliage. The sensational com-
bination of colours is a true work of art. Another notable
attraction in the garden are the capers. Legend has it that
Juraj Dalmatinac brought the first capers to Sibenik. They
have been planted within the gaps and cracks in the sto-
ne walls as a homage to the great builder. The inclusion of
this simple medieval plant we are able to tie together the
main features of this region; stone; flora; Juraj Dalmatinac.
Šibenik has claims on another significant historical figure,
Robert Visiani Šibenčanin. He was one of the most famous
European botanists of the 12th Century and a professor
at the famous University of Padua. From its inception the
project to restore MMG was fueled by the objective to
have the site open to the public. With this in mind we cre-
ated a number of educational programs for schools and
for organized tours. The MMG is situated within the St.
Lawrence Monastery complex which means that during
your visit to the space you can tour Our Lady's Grotto, the
Church of St Lawrence, the Monastery as well as a cafe,
restaurant, and souvenir shop. I have recently spent a few
hours in the garden and it is an excellent place to relax
from the hustles and bustles of the Old City. It has the feel
of an oasis in the centre of town and after walking the gar-
dens you must enjoy a cold drink under the shade of the
monastery bell tower. A truly unique experience and well
worth a visit if you are in the Old City of Sibenik.

KOZMO drugstores are the first

Croatian drugstore chain and a must in terms of be-
auty and health care in Croatia. KOZMO offers everything
fundamental for face and body care and treatment, a large
assortment of summer scents, cosmetics for men, products for

ated on the Adriatic coast and pick products of renowned world brands.

THE ROMAN REMAINS OF BURNUM
T
he Roman military camp Burnum was situated on
the right banks of the Krka River in the area of the
present day village of Ivoševci. On the location of
“The Empty Church” (Šuplja Crvka) can be seen today the
remnants of a port which was part of the military camp.
The camp was most probably constructed 33 years before
the birth of Jesus Christ when the XX legion briefly stayed
there. After the battle at Akcija, 31 years B.C, the XI legion
was stationed at Burnum. Archeological excavations carri-
ed out in the area of the camp revealed that the camp
was built in two phases. In the first, older phase a small
part was constructed and then in the second phase the
majority of the work was carried out. Building was initia-
ted by the Roman governor for Dalmatia Publie Kornelius
Dolabela. A few recovered written items are evidence on
the construction of the camp. One of these items is from
51 years after the birth of Christ and mentions Publie An-
teja Rufa, witnesses of the building of the camp 69 years
after the birth of Christ were the XI legion who left the
camp and transferred to Vespazijan army in their fight for
the emperor. After the XI legion left Burnum the IV legion
were stationed there and stayed there from the years 70
to 86. The legions departed when the Dalmatian province
became “provincial inermis”. At this time Burnum started
to lose its military significance and on the site of the mili-
tary camp a civil settlement formed which developed to
the west of the camp. The settlement, which carried the
same name as the camp, got the status of a municipality
and fell into the system of the Emperor Hadrian (118 AD).
Burnum was situated on a very important crossroads in
these ancient times. It can be assumed that the quality of
its position and its connections were the main reasons for
its downfall. The last time that Burnum was mentioned was
in 537 and this was in connection with a battle between
the Bezant Emperor Justinian when he attempted to take
it back from the Ostrogoths in the 6th Century.
Today the archeological remains that be seen are the ou-
tlines of the port, amphitheatre and a section of the aqu-
educt which brought water to Burnum.

SEA CUCUMBER
The sea cucumber has an elongated body and leathery skin and
is found on the sea floor worldwide. If you dive in clearer waters
around Sibenik or on one of the many islands you’ll certainly spot
one. It is so named because of its cucumber-like shape. The diet of
most cucumbers consists of plankton and decaying organic ma-
tter found in the sea. Some sea cucumbers position themselves in
currents and catch food that flows by with their open tentacles.
They also sift through the bottom sediments using their tentac-
les. They can be found in great numbers on the deep sea floor,
where they often make up the majority of the animal biomass.
Some varieties of sea cucumber are said to have excellent hea-
ling properties. Extracts are prepared and made into oil, cream
or cosmetics. Some products are intended to be taken internally.
It is believed that the sea cucumber contains all the fatty acids
necessary to play an active role in tissue repair. Sea cucumbers are

SARDINES
believed to be endowed with aphrodisiac powers in the Far East.
Sea cucumbers have also inspired thousands of haiku in Japan,
where they are called namako written with characters that can be
translated “sea mice”. In English translations of these haiku, they
are usually called “sea slugs”; according to the Oxford English Dic-
tionary, the term “sea slug” originally referred to holothurians (in

F
ishing for sardines (sar-
dela as they are known in
Croatia) on the Croatian
Adriatic coasts of Dalmatia and
Istria is an ongoing activity tra-
cing its roots back thousands
of years. The region was part of
the Roman Empire, then largely
a Venetian dominion, and has
always been sustained throu-
gh fishing mainly sardines. All
along the coast there are many
towns that promote the age-old
practice of fishing by lateen sail
boats for tourism and on festival
occasions. Today this tradition
is also continued by many pro-
ducers. The fish is very popular
in all of Dalmatia and is usually
cooked fresh from the sea on an
open grill dressed with a little
olive oil and rosemary.
Sometimes the fish is prepared
coated in a light flour based ba-
tter. Sardines, or pilchards, are a
group of several types of small,
oily fish related to herrings.
Sardines were named after the
island of Sardinia, where they
were once in abundance. A ge-
neralization is that if the fish is
less than 10cm long it is classed
as a sardine, and if larger than 4 the 18th century), though biologists now use the name only for
inches it is classed as a pilchard. the nudibranch molluscs, marine relatives of land slugs.
Sardines are also healthy and
considered a “brain food.” The-
se fish are rich in omega 3 fatty
acids, which can help maintain a
healthy heart. Recent studies su-
ggest that omega-3 fatty acids
slow the progression of mild to
moderate Alzheimer’s disease.
These fatty acids can also help
control blood sugar level. Not
only are sardines packed with
omega-3 fatty acids, but they
are also a good source of vita-
min D, calcium and B12.
