Intro

Dok željno čekamo Novu godinu, sumiramo rezultate iz protekle i radujemo se činjenici da je još jedna uspješna godina iza nas!

As we eagerly await the New Year, we sum up the results of the previous year and we are happy that another successful year is behind us!

Uspjehe smo mjerili brojem putovanja i destinacija koje smo posjetili, a svoja iskustva smo obogatili kroz obilazak Vijetnama, Njemačke, Turske, Malezije i Indonezije, ali smo se svaki put rado vraćali u našu zemlju i uživali u ljepotama koje nudi. Trudili smo se da sve te trenutke podijelimo s našim čitateljima putem pisane riječi u magazinu Furaj.ba i sretni smo što smo u tome uspjeli.

We measured success by the number of trips and destinations that we visited, and we enriched our experiences through tours of Vietnam, Germany, Turkey, Malaysia and Indonesia, but each time we happily returned to our country and enjoyed the beauty that it offers. We aimed to share all those moments with our readers via the written word in Furaj. ba magazine and we are happy that we succeeded in doing that.

Nadamo se da će nam i nadolazeća godina donijeti mnogo lijepih i sretnih trenutaka, te divnih putovanja i iskustava, a iste želje imamo i za vas dragi čitatelji. Želimo vam sretnu i uspješnu 2020. godinu!

We hope that the following year will also bring us many nice and happy moments, and wonderful trips and experiences, and we have the same wishes for you, dear readers.

We wish you a happy and successful 2020!

BIH PREUZELA KONTROLU NAD SVOJIM NEBOM Posao kontrole bh. zračnog prostora iznad 10.000 metara nadmorske visine su u posljednjih više od 20 godina obavljale Hrvatska i Srbija, no od 5. decembra bh. nebo se nadzire iz BiH, čime je otvoreno novo poglavlje u historiji civilnog zrakoplovstva BiH. Agencija BHANSA je u novembru 2014. godine započela pružanje usluga kontrole letenja na visini do 10.000 metara iz Operativne jedinice Oblasne kontrole leta Sarajevo (ATCU I). Sada je ova jedinica preuzela kontrolu nad zračnim prostorom BiH iznad 10.000 metara, čime je u potpunosti realizovana Faza II Strategije razvoja Sistema za upravljanje zračnim prometom u BiH. BHANSA će u zimskom periodu kontrolisati do 800 preleta aviona nebom iznad BiH, a u ljetnjem i do 1.600.

B&H TAKES CONTROL OF ITS SKIES For over 20 years, the control of B&H airspace above 10 000 meters of altitude was conducted by Croatia and Serbia, but as of December 5, B&H skies will be monitored from B&H, opening a new chapter in the history of civil aviation of B&H. In November 2014, the agency BHANSA began to offer flight control services at an altitude of up to 10000 meters from the Air Traffic Control Operational Unit Sarajevo (ATCU I). Now this unit has also taken over control of B&H airspace above 10000 meters, which means that Phase II of the Development Strategy of the System of Controlling Air Traffic in B&H has been completely implemented.

During winter, BHANSA will control up to 800 flights in the skies above B&H, and during summer up to 1600 flights.

LEDENA ČAROLIJA NA VILSONOVOM ŠETALIŠTU

MAGIC OF ICE AT WILSON'S PROMENADE

Općina Novo Sarajevo i ove godine, od 27. 12. do 26.1. 2020., za sve građane priprema sada već tradicionalnu manifestaciju pod nazivom Ledena čarolija.

Ova čarobna manifestacija za cijelu porodicu će biti realizovana kod otvorene scene između Historijskog i Zemaljskog muzeja na Vilsonovom šetalištu.

Tokom cijelog zimskog raspusta djeca će imati priliku besplatno naučiti klizati i družiti se s Djeda Mrazom.

Svim posjetiteljima će biti obezbijeđeno besplatno korištenje klizaljki, kao i velikog klizališta. Kao i prošle godine poseban termin izdvojit će se za najmanje klizače, koji na led mogu samo u pratnji roditelja. Osim toga, prostor će sadržavati i još veću igraonicu nego li prethodnih godina, gdje će se odvijati edukativne, interaktivne i zabavne radionice.

Kako je planirano, ove godine bit će pažljivo osmišljen i Food Corner, te prostor za roditelje, koji će, između ostalog moći uživati čitajući knjige dok se mališani igraju. Cijeli prostor u neposrednoj blizini lokacije će biti dekorisan i siguran, jer je prije svega namijenjen djeci, a cilj je da se u punom sjaju dočara i dočeka praznična atmosfera na našem najpopularnijem šetalištu.

This year, from 27. 12. to 26.1. 2020, the Municipality of Novo Sarajevo will again be organizing its now traditional ongoing event called Ledena Čarolija (Magic of Ice) for all its citizens. This magical event for the whole family will take place at the open scene between the Historical and National Museum at Wilson's Promenade.

During their entire winter break, children will have the opportunity to learn ice skating for free and to socialize with Santa Claus. All visitors will be able to use ice skates for free, as well as the large ice-skating rink. As was the case last year, there will be a special time set for the youngest skaters, who can go on the ice only if they are accompanied by a parent. Apart from that, the space will have an even larger playroom than last year, where there will be educational, interactive and entertaining workshops.

There is also a plan for a carefully thought out Food Corner, and a space for parents, who will be able to enjoy themselves by reading books, while the youngsters play.

The entire space in the immediate vicinity of the location will be decorated and safe, as it is intended primarily for children, and the goal is to evoke and welcome a festive atmosphere in full glory at our most popular promenade.

INTERVJU / INTERVIEW

elma Alispahić, prvakinja drame Sarajevskog ratnog teatra, svojoj kolekciji dosadašnjih priznanja i nagrada dodala je ovih dana još jedno. Posljednje u nizu je priznanje na 16.

Festivalu glumca Nikšić 2019 , gdje je za predstavu Ay ,Carmela, dobila nagradu za najbolji partnerski odnos na sceni s Draganom Jovičićem.

- Nagrada za najbolji partnerski odnos je, u suštini, najbolje priznanje koje glumac može dobiti. Gluma na sceni ne može postojati bez drugog čovjeka. Kad je čovjek nagrađen za to onda znači da, zaista, svoj posao radi kako treba. Ovu nagradu dobila sam i godinu ranije za predstavu Jedan Pikaso, gdje sam igrala s jednim od najvećih glumaca ove regije, gospodinom Metom Jovanovskim.

Dragana Jovičića smatram najdražim i najboljim partnerom. Tako da je sjajno što je Ay, Carmela poslije dvadeset godina, upravo nagrađena u ovoj kategoriji, jer smo Dragan i ja na sceni jedno glumačko biće.

Prošle godine dobili ste nagradu Actor of Europe 2018, uz brojna priznanja na domaćim i regionalnim festivalima. Koliko su nagrade bitne i koliko znače potvrdu da ste na pravom putu u profesionalnom smislu?

- Nagrada Actor of Europe 2018 meni je važna jer sam se našla u društvu laureata, koji su moji glumački idoli.

To su Ljuba Tadić, Rade Šerbedžija ili Milena Zupančić. To priznanje smatraju i nagradom za životno djelo. Iako mi je rano da sumiram rezultate životnog rada, značajno mi je što se dodjeljuje glumcima koji su ostavili individualni pečat u kulturnom sjećanju Evrope. Meni je upravo do te individualnosti stalo cijeli moj život. Nagrade budu i prođu, ali ono na šta sam ponosna je, ustvari, kontinuitet kvalitetnog rada. Činjenica je da nikad nisam spuštala profesionalne standarde i pristajala na kompromise, koji nisu kreativne prirode.

To je moje najveće zadovoljstvo.

INTERVJU / INTERVIEW

U aprilu ove godine, tokom Sajma knjige u Sarajevu promovirali ste knjigu Korak po korak do velike tišine Sylvia Plath. Možete li nam nešto više reći o knjizi, njenom putu i značaju za čitateljstvo?

- To je moja prva knjiga i uzbuđenje je bilo veliko. Rezultat je dugogodišnjeg istraživanja, koje je počelo radom na predstavi Čežnja i smrt Sylvije Plath.

To je ujedno i moj magistarski rad na Odsjeku za komparativnu književnost Filozofskog fakulteta u Sarajevu. Bilo mi je bitno objaviti priču o jednoj genijalnoj pjesnikinji. To je i priča o kreativnosti, izuzetnosti i hrabrosti da se život gleda drugačijim očima, otvoreno, bez predrasuda, osjećajno i duboko.

Mislim da u svijetu površnosti i instant vrijednosti jedna takva priča je prijeko potrebna. Komentari na knjigu su sjajni. Drago mi je da je pitka i čitljiva, iako se radi o naučnom radu. Prevodimo je na engleski jezik, te vjerujem da će čitalaca biti sve više.

ljudima koji je pogledaju otvori oči za ono što nisu htjeli da vide.

Radite i kao univerzitetski profesor. Šta je najljepše u tom dijelu Vašeg angažmana?

- Pedagoški rad pričinjava mi veliko zadovoljstvo. Mnoga učenja kažu da se znanje mora podijeliti s drugima.

Ne smije se kriti i držati samo za sebe, jer tako postaje besmisleno. Studentima nastojim dati vjetar u leđa. Ne pri-

S obzirom na brojne angažmane pretpostavljamo da dosta i putujete. Uživate li u tome ?

Početkom prošlog mjeseca promovirana je nova predstava Vaše matične kuće SARTR, Bullying Collection, u kojoj tumačite jednu od uloga. Vršnjačko nasilje je tema koju ste pokrenuli, zar ne ?

- Vršnjačko nasilje je, nažalost, stalno aktuelno pitanje u ovom društvu. Ova predstava je pokušaj da se tišina, koja vlada po tom pitanju, prekine. To je bolest društva, kao i svaka druga. Nažalost, reagujemo tek kad osjetimo posljedice umjesto da radimo na prevenciji. Ovaj komad nastoji ohrabriti žrtve vršnjačkog nasilja da govore i da vrište ako treba, ali i roditelje da ne pristaju na apatiju i inertnost. Trebaju natjerati sistem i sve instance da rade svoj posao. Svi iz ansambla smo unijeli lične priče u ovu predstavu. Mnogo nam znači. Po prvim reakcijama publike vidimo da i 16

Tu je i angažman na Sarajevo Film Academy, gdje svjedočim nastajanju budućih sjajnih filmskih reditelja, a uživam i u radu sa studentima solo pjevanja na Muzičkoj akademiji u Sarajevu, koje podučavam scenskom studiju opernih uloga. Okružena sam mladim i kreativnim ljudima i učim od njihove mladosti i oduševljenja životom. Pripremam knjigu o velikom britanskom pjesniku Ted Hughesu, koja je moj doktorski rad i spremam se za nova gostovanja kao predavač na nekim od evropskih univerziteta.

stajem nikada ni na kakva polovična rješenja. Mala smo zemlja, nemamo ni geografskim, ni političkih, ni vojnih, ni nekih drugih šansi. Naša šansa da preživimo je samo znanje. Znanje je važno jer se njime borimo protiv ignorancije. Ona stvara mržnju, a mržnja sva zla ovoga svijeta. Zato mladim ljudima moramo dati znanje da oplemene ovu zemlju i planetu. Šta Vas očekuje u narednom periodu?

- Najprije nekoliko uloga u matičnom Sarajevskom ratnom teatru.

- Bila sam veliki putnik prije, a i sada kada mi se za to pruži prilika. Uspomene s putovanja mi mnogo znače.

Kad god poželim, prelistavam slike iz Amerike, Engleske, Francuske, Italije, Švedske, Danske, Norveške, Njemačke, s Havaja, iz Turske....I onda, opet, skoknem tamo u mislima. Naravno, sada s dvoje djece, ne putujem tako intenzivno, što ne znači da neću onda kada oni budu spremni za putovanja.

Mislim da djecu treba voditi da upoznaju različita mjesta.

Trebaju shvatiti da je svijet toliko velik i lijep i da svuda mogu napraviti svoju kuću, ako budu otvoreni za ljepote koje svijet nudi.

I na kraju, šta očekujete u novoj 2020. godini ?

- Osoba sam koja mnogo sanja, ali ništa previše ne očekuje. Živim trenutke i za trenutke. Moje želje vezane su za moje bližnje. Sve drugo će biti, kako će biti. Ne mislim ni da sve treba prepustiti sudbini. Mislim da se i na sudbini mora raditi. Treba svako nešto sanjati. Ja imam neke lijepe, slatke snove, koji mi izmame osmijeh na lice svakodnevno. I to mi je sasvim dovoljno.

SELMA ALISPAHIĆ

My Greatest Recognition is that I Stayed True to Myself IN HER RICH BODY OF ACTING WORK, SHE HAS PLAYED ANNA KARENINA, SYLVIA PLATH, HASANAGINICA, CARMELA, CATHERINE OF BOSNIA AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT ROLES.

INTERVJU / INTERVIEW

hievement award. Even though it is early for me to sum up the results of my life’s work, it’s important to me that it’s awarded to actors who have left their mark in the cultural memory of Europe. It is that individuality that I’ve always cared about.

Awards come and go, but what I’m proud of is actually the continuity of good work. The fact is that I never dropped my professional standards and agreed to compromises that weren’t of creative nature. That is my greatest satisfaction.

In April this year, during the Book Fair in Sarajevo, you promoted the book Step by Step to Great Silence - Sylvia Plath. Can you tell us more about the book, its journey and significance for readers?

S

elma Alispahić, a champion of drama at the Sarajevo War Theater (SARTR), has added another award to her collection of recognitions and awards. The latest is a recognition from the 16th Festival of Actors Nikšić 2019, where she received the award for best partnership with fellow actor Dragan Jovičić for the show Ay, Carmela.

- The award for best partnership is really the best recognition that an actor can get. Acting on stage cannot happen without someone else. When a person gets awarded for that, it means that they’re really doing their job well. I got this award last year as well, for the show One Picasso, where I acted with one of the greatest actors from this regi18

on, Mr. Meto Jovanovski. I consider Dragan Jovičić my favorite and best partner. So it’s great that after twenty years Ay, Carmela has been awarded in this category, as Dragan and I are one on stage.

Last year, you received the Actor of Europe 2018 award, along with numerous recognitions at local and regional festivals. How important are awards and how much do they serve as confirmation that you are on the right path in a professional sense?

- The Actor of Europe 2018 award is important to me, because I found myself in the company of laureates, who are my acting idols. They are Ljuba Tadić, Rade Šerbedžija or Milena Zupančić. That award is also considered to be a lifetime ac-

- That was my first book and there was great excitement. It’s the result of years of research, which began when I worked on the show The Longing and Death of Sylvia Plath. It’s also my master’s thesis at the Department of Comparative Literature at the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo. It was important to me to publish a story about this genius poet. It’s also a story of creativity, excellence and courage to see life through a different lense, openly, without prejudice, emotionally and deeply. I think that in the world of superficiality and instant values, one such story is necessary. Comments about the book are brilliant. I’m glad that it’s easy and readable, even though it’s academic work. We’re translating it to English, and I believe that there’ll be even more readers.

At the beginning of last month, the new show at your original workplace of SARTR, Bullying Collection, was promoted, where you play one of the roles. Bullying is a topic that you started, is that correct?

- Bullying is, unfortunately, a constant current issue in this society.

This show is an attempt to make the silence surrounding this topic stop.

It’s a disease of society, like any

other. Unfortunately, we react once we’ve felt the consequences instead of working on prevention. This piece aims to encourage the victims of bullying to speak out and scream if they need to, and for parents not to accept apathy and inertia. They need to force the system and everyone relevant to do their work. Everyone from the ensemble brought personal stories into this show. It means a lot to us. Based on the first reactions of the audience, we see that it is eye-opening for people who see the things that they didn’t want to see.

You also work as a university professor. What is the best part of doing that work?

- Educational work brings me great pleasure. Many studies say that knowledge must be shared with others. It must not be hidden and kept to oneself, as it becomes meaningless. I try to encourage my students. I never accept partial solutions. We’re a small country, we don’t have geographical, nor political, military, or other opportunities. Our chance of survival lies in knowledge.

Knowledge is important, because it fights ignorance. Ignorance creates hatred, and hatred creates all the evil in this world. That’s why we must pass on knowledge to young people so that they can make this country and planet better.

new guest lectures at some European universities.

Considering your numerous engagements, we assume you travel a lot.

Do you enjoy it?

- I used to be a great traveler, and now I travel when I get the chance.

Memories from travels mean a lot to me. Whenever I feel like it, I flip through photos from America, England, France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Hawaii, Turkey...And then, again, I pop into these places in my thoughts. Of course, now that I have two children, I don’t travel as much, which doesn’t mean that I won’t once they’re ready. I think children should be taken to different places in order to get

to know them. They need to realize that the world is so big and beautiful, and that home can be everywhere, if they’re open to the beauty of what the world offers.

And finally, what do you expect in 2020?

- I’m a person who dreams a lot, but doesn’t expect too much. I live in the moment and for moments.

My wishes are about those closest to me. Everything else will be, as it’ll be. I also don’t think that everything should be surrendered to fate.

I think you have to work on fate too.

Everyone should have dreams. I have some nice, sweet dreams, which bring a smile to my face each day.

And that is perfectly enough for me.

What are your plans in the coming period?

- Firstly, several roles at my original workplace of Sarajevo War Theater.

Stara Bistrička stanica se vraća građanima

S

tara željeznička stanica u sarajevskom naselju Bistrik u narednom periodu, kroz obnovu i otvaranje muzeja, bit će vraćena građanima Sarajeva.

Trenutno devastirani objekt, a nekada reprezentativna građevina velike historijske vrijednosti, željeznička stanica iz perioda austrougarske vladavine, postat će mjesto susreta kulturnih društvenih događaja značajnih za Grad Sarajevo.

26

HISTORIJA BISTRIČKE STANICE Nakon što su austrougarske vlasti 1882. godine željeznicom uvezale Sarajeva sa Slavonskim Brodom i Budimpeštom, izgrađena je zgrada željezničke stanice Bistrik. Tada se javila potreba da se sa Sarajevom povežu i istočni dijelovi BiH, te je tako rođena ideja o izgradnji Istočne pruge prema Višegradu, odakle

se preko Šarganske osmice moglo putovati za Beograd, Sofiju, Solun i Istanbul. Puštanje pruge u promet 1906. godine ozvaničeno je i otvaranjem zgrade Željezničke stanice na Bistriku.

Izgrađena od cigle iz obližnje ciglane Augusta Brauna, ova dvospratna građevina pod visokim kosim krovom je sadržavala kancelarije za osoblje, biletarnicu i čekaonicu u

U svojim posljednjim godinama, stanica je stekla i svjetsku prepoznatljivost, a i danas su ostali dobro zapamčeni kadrovi iz kultnog filma Valter brani Sarajevo snimljeni na Bistričkoj stanici

prizemlju. Napravljena na najvišoj tački Bistrika, i danas predstavlja najimpozantniji objekt na tom području. U njenoj blizini se nalazio i prvi od ukupno 134 tunela na trasi do Beograda, Tunel Brdo-džamija.

Stanica na Bistriku je vrlo brzo postala jedan od simbola Sarajeva i zauzela posebno mjesto u srcima Sarajlija, a postala je i zaštitni znak razglednica iz ovog grada. U svojim posljednjim godinama, stanica je stekla i svjetsku prepoznatljivost, i do danas su u sjećanjima mnogih

Bosanaca i Hercegovaca ostali urezani kadrovi iz kultnog filma Valter brani Sarajevo snimljeni na Bistričkoj stanici, kada Valter sa saborcima zauzima lokomotivu čuvenog Ćire, voza koji je do sredine sedamdesetih na ovu stanicu stizao svakodnevno.

zgrada i natkriveni peronski prostor posljednjih godina su korištene kao stambeni objekt, dok su od ostalih dijelova kompleksa ostale ruševine.

Umjesto nekadašnje pruge danas uz zgradu stanice na Bistriku prolazi gradska zaobilaznica.

Ukidanjem Istočne pruge 1973. godine, stanična zgrada Bistrik u potpunosti gubi svoj osnovni značaj, a posljednja lokomotiva koja je napustila peron stanice na Bistriku bio je upravo Ćiro, početkom augusta 1978. godine. Nekadašnja upravna

OBNOVA ZGRADE O važnosti zgrada stare željezničke stanice Bistrik, kazuje i činjenica da je 2006. godine proglašena Nacionalnim spomenikom BiH, a kako bi sačuvao kulturnu baštinu, te vratio sjećanja generacija i vrijednu tradiciju, Grad Sarajevo je okončao rješavanje imovinsko-pravnih odnosa i stvorio pretpostavke za početak obnove ovog devastiranog objekta koji je svojevrstan simbol Sarajeva.

Ovaj projekt ima tri vrlo važne dimenzije; kulturnu, socijalnu i razvojnu. Plan Grada Sarajeva je da obnovljena Bistrička stanica doprinosi kao turistička atrakcija i bude multifunkcionalni objekt koji će biti u potpunosti samoodrživ.

U Bistričkoj stanici bit će smješten muzej s postavkom o dugoj željezničkoj tradiciji u BiH i Sarajevu. Svi planovi aludiraju na to da će stara željeznička stanica na Bistriku potpuno zasijati u novom ruhu, ponuditi bogat turistički sadržaj i da će ponovo krasiti Sarajevo!

The Old Bistrik Station is Returning to the Citizens

T

he old railway station in the Sarajevo neighborhood Bistrik will be returned to the citizens of Sarajevo (in the next period), through the renovation and opening of the museum. Currently devastated, this once symbolic building of great historical value, the railway station from the Austro-Hungarian period, will become the venue for social-cultural events significant for/to the city of Sarajevo.

cted. At that time, the need arose for the connection between other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sarajevo. Thus, the idea of/for constructing the Eastern Railway towards Visegrad was born, from where it was possible to travel to Belgrade, Sofia, Thessaloniki, and Istanbul via the Sargan Eight. In 1906, the start of operations was commemorated with the opening of the Bistrik station building.

HISTORY OF THE BISTRIK STATION

Built from brick from the nearby August Brown brickyard, this twostory building under a tall sloping roof, contained staff offices, a ticket office, and a waiting room on the ground floor. Built at the highest point of Bistrik, to this day it stands for the most imposing building in the

area. In close proximity, you could also find the first of the 134 tunnels on the route to Belgrade, Tunel Brdo-dĹžamija (Hill-Mosque Tunnel).

The Bistrik Station quickly became one of the symbols of Sarajevo, a trademark of postcards from this city, and it took a special place in the hearts of the locals. In its last years, the station has gained worldwide recognition, especially through the cult film Valter Defends Sarajevo (Valter brani Sarajevo). The scene where Valter and his comrades occupy the locomotive of the famous Ćiro, the train that until the mid seventies passed through this station every day, will forever be carved in the memories of many Bosnians.

In its last years, the station has gained worldwide recognition, and the scenes from the cult film Valter Defends Sarajevo filmed at Bistrik Station will forever be carved into the memories of the citizens.

With the abolition of the Eastern Railway in 1973, the Bistrik station building completely lost its primary purpose (osnovnu svrhu), and the last locomotive to leave the station platform at Bistrik in early August 1978 was, in fact, Ćiro.

self-sustaining. A museum will tell the story of the long railway tradition in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sarajevo. All plans allude that the

old Bistrik train station will have a new shine, offer rich tourist content and will again embellish the city of Sarajevo!

In recent years, the former administrative building and platform area have been used as a residential space, while other parts of the complex have been ruined. Instead of the former railway, a city bypass passes today adjacent to the Bistrik station building.

BUILDING RENOVATIONS In 2006, the building of the old Bistrik railway station was proclaimed a National Monument of BiH, showcasing its importance. In order to preserve cultural heritage and restore the memories of generations and valuable traditions, the City of Sarajevo has finished resolving legal property issues, thus creating preconditions for the beginning of the reconstruction of this devastated building, which is in many ways, still a symbol of Sarajevo.

This project has three very important dimensions; cultural, social, and developmental. The city plans to make the renovated Bistrik Station a tourist attraction and a multifunctional facility that will be fully 29

d samog početka studija na Pravnom fakultetu, Aldina je imala želju da se bavi porodičnim pravom, a njeni afiniteti nikada nisu bili usmjereni ka ekonomiji.

Ulaganje u ljude je proces koji traje kod nekoga manje, negdje duže i nisam u potpunosti saglasna s tim da smo svi zamjenjivi, jesmo naravno, ali po koju cijenu... Motivacija ljudi se podstiče svaki dan, od načina na koji ih pozdravite ujutru, do načina na koji rješavate konflikte i prepreke na koje nailazimo svaki dan.

mansa. Međutim, kako sam ranije već i navela, upornost, znanje i samopouzdanje mijenjaju opštu sliku prema krajnjim kupcima.

Da niste u automobilskoj industriji, čime biste se bavili? Postoji li neka branša prema kojoj gajite simpatije?

- Kao i većina žena pretpostavljam, mogla bih se vidjeti u svijetu kozmetike i mode. Volim kremice, parfeme, kozmetiku… Mirišem, osluškujem o novitetima na tržištu, volim čitati i istraživati na ove teme.

Kada poželite odmoriti od poslovnih obaveza, kako provodite svoje vrijeme?

- Trudim se nadoknaditi svaki trenutak sa svojom porodicom. Emotivna sam i volim kada smo skupa, to me ispunjava. Volim da čitam i tražim vrijeme za to kad god mogu. Imam veliku sreću da imam prijateljice koje jako volim i pred kojima nemam nikakvih tajni, ni ustručavanja, te uvijek nađemo slobodno veče za čašu vina i smijeh.

Sigurno se često otiskujete na poslovna putovanja, može li se i u tom smislu uživati u putovanju i destinaciji na kojoj se nađete?

- Zahvaljujući svom poslu, svih ovih godina, zaista sam imala priliku otići na savršene lokacije i uživati u druženju s vrlo dragim ljudima iz cijelog svijeta. Kada volite svoj posao, svaki trening je uživanje, ugodno spojeno s korisnim. Jedini dio koji najviše umori jeste putovanje do određenih destinacija i povratak, sve ostalo je divno iskustvo i uspomena. Šta je, prema Vašem mišljenju, ključno za pronalaženje uspješne ravnoteže između posla i privatnog života?

- Organizacija i podrška partnera i porodice kao i razum sviju nas. Šta biste sebi, na poslovnom i privatnom planu poželjeli u Novoj godini?

- Zdravlje uvijek i prvo, snagu i ustrajanost, nove izazove, mnogo smijeha i zdravo okruženje.

ALDINA HADŽIĆ, Executive Director of Mercedes-Benz

I Live the Brand that I Represent EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD NOT PLANNED TO BE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND ENDED UP THERE COMPLETELY BY ACCIDENT, ALDINA HADŽIĆ, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF STARLINE COMPANY, THE AUTHORIZED SALES AND SERVICE PARTNER OF MERCEDES-BENZ, IS NOW A TOP EXPERT IN HER WORK Interviewed by: Samila Ivković Photographs: Vanja Lisac

F

rom the very beginning of her studies at the Faculty of Law, Aldina wanted to be in family law, and her affinities were never in economics. However, from her first work experience, she found herself in numbers, trading and sales. Her desire for learning and advancement grew, her ambitions were bigger and now she is here, in the male world of the automotive industry.

- I started working in 2002 in F-AUTOCENTAR, as an administrative clerk and an assistant for preparing tenders, and that is how I learned about vehicles, step by step. After Ford and Volvo, I transferred to ASA Group, as a sales advisor for Audi.

For years, I progressed like that and gradually moved on to management roles, and at one point I headed five brands of the VW concern, along with marketing for Porsche Sarajevo Ltd. Was it difficult for you to find your feet in the world of automobiles, how interested in them were you previously?

- It’s about love for your work, like any other, you either love it and get by great or not. There is a resistance towards women in the automotive industry in our environment, i.e. 15 years ago it was greater than today, but when you prove that you know automobiles, that you can equally answer questions as a woman, the environment accepts you. Unfortunately, it’s a fact that as a woman you must work harder to prove that you can do it.

It is clear that you found your feet easily and proved yourself in this job, as you became the executive director at STARline Mercedes-Benz in August this year. What vision did you bring to this company?

- The desire to implement the experience and knowledge that I have gained so far, as well as the challenge to learn more and improve my managerial skills in a slightly different environment. My vision is to present the Mercedes-Benz brand, which I represent with company STARline on the B&H and Sarajevo Canton market, as it should be done for the

image of this brand, to make sure that our buyers are satisfied and to conquer a large part of the market.

Which characteristics are necessary for a woman to be excellent at her job and reach a managerial role?

- Knowledge, self-confidence, organization, attitude, to live the brand that you represent 24/7, knowing people, persistence, a smile and a balance between your private and personal life. It’s not simple, but with support and a strong character, it can be done.

Every automobile seller must possess the special skill of recognizing potential buyers... Who is Mercedes-Benz intended for?

- Mercedes-Benz is a vehicle from the Premium segment, and for the most part, the vehicles are intended for corporate, businesspeople who spend a lot of time driving and who need a comfortable and safe vehicle. On the other hand, A and B class models appeal to the segment of young people and young (married) couples. The GL models are an 33

Pri samom dolasku, predlažemo vam da upoznate grad, osjetite njegovu dušu i toplu dobrodošlicu kojom će vas Sarajevo oduševiti već

OBILAZAK SARAJEVA

prvog dana vašeg boravka. Za početak se upustite u laganu šetnju sarajevskim ulicama...

Prazničnu atmosferu Sarajeva najbolje ćete doživjeti posjetite li magični Coca-Cola Sarajevo Holiday market koji nudi bogat zabavni sadržaj za sve uzraste, a jednako će vas oduševiti i Zimska čarolija na platou Skenderije, kao i Jana Ice Garden ledeni park smješten na Trgu oslobođenja Alija Izetbegović.

Krenete li Titovom ulicom prema Ferhadiji, obavezno zastanite i ugrijte se pored Vječne vatre, a ne zaboravite napraviti i nekoliko fotografija kod ovog simbola grada. Nastavite li koračati ka Baščaršiji, pažnju će vam privući brojni vjerski objekti, kao i različite građevine, među kojima mnoge ponosno stoje još od austrougarskog perioda.

Kada stignete do srca Sarajeva – Baščaršije, ne propustite igru s golu-

bovima, te fotografisanje kod Sebilja. Kada ste već tu, obavezno obiđite i zanatske ulice, gdje možete kupiti suvenire koji će vas dugo podsjećati na duh Sarajeva i lijepe trenutke koje ćete ovdje doživjeti.

s tradicionalnim slasticama poput hurmašica, tufahija i baklave, a za uživanje u američkim palačinkama zadužen je lokal Talks&Giggles, mjesto koje mami osmijehe i okuplja istinske sladokusce.

Dalje će vas voditi mirisi bosanske kuhinje... Ćevapi, pite, sogan dolme, kao i druga tradicionalna jela mamit će vas da svratite u sarajevske lokale i uživate u fantastičnim okusima.

Dobra ideja za ručak su i restorani na obroncima grada iz koji se pruža čaroban pogled na zimsko Sarajevo.

Nakon ručka, po bosanskoj tradiciji, vrijeme je da svoja čula raznježite nekom slasticom, kafom ili čajem.

Mjesto najukusnije kafe je Ministarstvo ćejfa, dok ćete u Čajdžinici Džirlo probati fantastične i neobične čajeve. Nezaobilazno mjesto je i cafe bar Zlatna ribica, koji odiše unikatnim enterijerom i odlično je mjesto za ugodnu dnevnu ili noćnu varijantu izlaska. Boravak u Sarajevu slađim će vam učiniti brojne slastičarne

Ako ste u višednevnoj posjeti Sarajevu i ako ste ljubitelj snijega i skijanja, naša preporuka za posjetu su olimpijske planine nadomak Sarajeva; Bjelašnica, Igman i Jahorina. Bogat sadržaj nudi i planina Trebević do koje, osim privatnim vozilom, za samo nekoliko minuta možete stići i Sarajevskom žičarom.

Po samom izlasku iz gondole, uputite se u obilazak bob staze izgrađene za vrijeme Olimpijskih igara. Nakon toga, laganom šetnjom stižete do Pino Nature hotela, a u blizini se nalaze i Brus, Level up, kao i Sunnyland, u kojem će vam posebno zadovoljstvo biti vožnja alpine coasterom s fantastičnim pogledom na grad.

REVIEW

DOČEK NOVE GODINE U BUDVI

B

udva, najatraktivnija ljetnja crnogorska turistička destinacija posljednje dvije decenije u regionu je prepoznata i kao najznačajnije mjesto okupljanja tokom novogodišnjih praznika.

Prelijepi trg ispred Starog grada još 2000. godine postao je jedinstven koncertni prostor, okružen drevnim zidinama, starim više od 2000. godina.

Već prve godine, kada su ispred brojnih gostiju i mještana na pozornici nastupili Zdravko Čolić, Indexi, Atomsko sklonište i mnogi drugi, svima je bilo jasno da Budva pretenduje da ugosti najveće zvijezde regiona i da epitet turističke prijestonice zadrži tokom cijele godine.

Smjenjivala su se tokom protekle dvije decenije sjajna i atraktivna imena vrsnih muzičara koji su svojim stvaralaštvom obilježili muzički prostor nekadašnje Jugoslavije. Uvođenjem elektronske muzike u zvanični dio programa, od prošle godine se lagano mijenjaju trendovi i privlači nova publika.

Petodnevni program na Trgu ove godine će početi već u subotu, 28. decembra, kada će nastupiti trebinjski rock sastav Krugovi u žitu, Akademia 46

i Katapult iz Bara i kultni hrvatski rock sastav Psihomodo pop. U nedjelju, 29. decembra u podne koncert će održati poznata džez pjevačica Lena Kovačević, dok će se u noćnim satima predstaviti Gradska muzika Budve, bend Refugie Jesus & Apostols i Neno Belan s bendom.

U ponedjeljak 30. decembra održat će se podnevni koncert crnogorskog gu�dačkog kvarteta Lords of the Strings, čiji članovi su ujedno i muzičari crnogorskog simfonijskog orkestra. Istu noć posjetitelje očekuje veče elektronske muzike koje će otvoriti DJ-evi Stevan Mandić i John K, a potom će nastupiti svjetski poznati turski DJ – Mahmut Orhan i francuski DJ duo Offenbach.

Posljednjeg dana ove godine, 31. decembra u dnevnim satima će biti organizovan program za najmlađe, dok će uvečer nastupiti sastav The Grupa, poznata pop pjevačica Nevena Božović i regionalna zvijezda – Zdravko Čolić.

U srijedu, 1. januara od 14 sati planiran je koncert klasične muzike u okviru kojeg će nastupiti renomirana crnogorska operska imena: Marijana

Šovran, Marko Kalajanović, Lana Asja Dabović, Emilija Minić i poznati srpski tenor Stevan Karanac. Soliste će i ove godine pratiti Mediteranski revijski orkestar pod dirigentskom palicom Radovana Papovića, a na flauti će svirati i Ksenija Franeta. U večernjim satima će na Trgu prvo zapjevati klapa Assa Voce, onda ćemo se podsjetiti poznatih hitova Harija Mata Harija, nakon koga će nastupiti kraljica narodne muzike Svetlana Ceca Ražnatović.

Već dvije decenije Budva tokom prvih januarskih dana postaje domaćin hiljadama ljudi koji su željni dobrog noćnog provoda i lijepih zimskih dana na moru, kada na nekoj od brojnih otvorenih terasa na obali, uz toplo zimsko Sunce, mogu uživati u pogledu na pučinu. Turistička organizacija opštine Budva, lokalna samouprava, turistička privreda grada i svi mještani, i ove godine poželjet će dobrodošlicu svim ljudima dobre volje.

Ako volite istraživati, razgovarati s domaćinima sela i uživati u čistom zraku, predlažemo da krenete u obilazak Lukavca. Vaša stanica za predah nakon toga može biti restoran Eko-Oaza koji se nalazi u selu, a radi isključivo vikendom.

ŠKOLA PRIRODE U SELU ŠABIĆI Šabići su autentično bjelašničko selo smješteno na platou između Bjelašnice, Treskavice i Visočice.

Selo je smješteno na nadmorskoj visini od 1100 metara, 30 km južno od Sarajeva, a posebno je prepoznatljivo po Školi u prirodi, koja je u proteklom periodu i rekonstruisana, te je u funkciji novi savremeni objekt. Kroz Školu u prirodi učenici IV razreda osnovnih škola s pod�-

ručja Kantona Sarajevo u školskoj 2018/2019 godini borave na čistom zraku, u ugodnom i mirnom seoskom ambijentu, te imaju priliku da se upoznaju s prirodnim i historijskim znamenitostima šireg područ� ja planine Bjelašnice. Školske aktivnosti se realiziraju u toku cijele školske godine, a do škole vodi asfaltni put iz Sarajeva koji je uvezan gradskim prijevozom i saobraća pored olimpijskih objekata na Bjelašnici. U neposrednoj blizini ško�le nalazi se ambulanta, čije osoblje je na raspolaganju gostima škole.

Blizina kanjona rijeke Rakitnice, okružene šumom, prekrasnim sta� zama, pašnjacima i izvorima pitke vode, predstavlja ambijent čiste i ne�taknute prirode koji će vas dodatno očarati. U Šabićima možete posjetiti i nekoliko novootvorenih ugostitelj-

skih objekata, koji se mogu pohvaliti modernim interijerom i vrlo bogatom ponudom. Predlažemo da se upustite u avanturu, istražite Šabiće i uživate u zimskoj idili!

UMOLJANI, SELO IZ LEGENDI Iz sela Šabići skrenite desno i prati�te pravac do sela Umoljani. Na 1275 m nadmorske visine smješteno je selo uz koje se vežu i interesantne legende. Prema jednoj legendi, veliki zmijoliki zmaj je izašao iz kanjona Rakitnice, koji je udaljen 3 km od sela, i prošao kroz Studeni potok, vijugajući s namjerom da uništi selo i pojede seljane. Kada su primijetili opasnost, seljani su se povukli na brdo i počeli moliti Boga da se zmaj okameni. Bog je uslišio njihove molitve, a u stijeni se i sada može vidjeti oblik te okamenjene nemani.

it. According to one legend, a large snake-like dragon came out of the canyon of the Rakitnica River, which is located 3 km from the village, and passed through Studeni Potok, with the intention of destroying the village and eating its inhabitants. When they realized they were in danger, the villagers retreated to the hill and started praying to God for the dragon to turn to stone. God answered their prayers, and to this day you can see the shape of the dragon in a rock.

Apart from that, here you will also see authentic shepherds’ huts, and some 200 meters from the entrance to the village, there is a necropolis of medieval tombstones (stećci).

Trebevićka staza

za bob i sankanje

Autor: Samila Ivković

O

sim duboko urezanih sjećanja, na najveći sportski događaj u Jugoslaviji - Zimske olimpijske igre u Sarajevu 1984. godine, danas podsjećaju i različiti objekti izgrađeni u to vrijeme, koji stoje kao svjedoci da se takav spektakl dešavao upravo u našoj državi.

Tako je za potrebe 14. zimskih olimpijskih igara 1984. godine na Trebeviću izgrađena bob staza koja je služila za takmičenje u bobu dvosjedu, četverosjedu i sankanju. Bob stazu je gradila, tada najbolja i najjača, njemačka firma Dayle. Radovi oko bob staze bili su povjereni profesoru Gorazdu Bučaru koji je s grupom arhi72

tekata napravio tadašnje olimpijsko remek djelo. Gradnja ovakve bob staze nije bila zahtjevna samo građevinski nego i instalaciono, naročito zbog sistema hlađenja koji je bio povjeren profesoru Zlatku Đikiću.

alizovati, bob staza je bila i jedna od najstrmijih i najbržih na svijetu, ali i jedna od najsigurnijih. Koliko je teško napraviti dobru stazu, potvrđuje i podatak da je danas u svijetu samo 13 licenciranih bob staza.

Bob staza na Trebeviću je karakteristična po tome što je napravljena za kombinovanu upotrebu za bob i sankanje, a to je nakon Sarajeva postao standard gradnje u svijetu. Start staze je na 1.108 mnv, cilj se nalazio na 982 m, a duga je 1.570 metara.

Za gradnju ovakve staze bilo je potrebno sedam miliona dolara, i to je bio najskuplji objekt koji je izgrađen za Olimpijske igre 1984. godine.

Osim što je bila najzahtjevnija za re-

Na Olimpijskim igrama 1984. sankaška takmičenja gledalo je 20 hiljada ljudi, dok su takmičenja u bobu bila nešto posjećenija, pratilo ih je oko 30.000 gledatelja. Nakon Olimpijskih igara staza je korištena za takmičenja u sklopu Svjetskog kupa. Osim toga, velika atrakcija bio je čamac Vučko u kojem su i građani, njih sedam ili osam u jednoj vožnji, mogli uživati u svim čarima bob staze. Tako je ona nakon sa-

mih igara ostala samoodrživa, sve do početka rata i opsade Sarajeva, koja je počela 1992. Tokom agresije, pretrpljena su velika razaranja, pa je tako, nažalost, uništena i bob staza.

Zahvaljujući velikoj ljubavi Sarajlija prema Trebeviću, ovoj planini se polako vraća nekadašnji sjaj, obnavljanjem postojećih i izgradnjom novih sadržaja. Danas je Trebević popularno mjesto za ugodne šetnje, trčanje, fotografisanje, kao i ekstremne sportove poput down-hill biciklizma.

Pokrenuta je inicijativa za obnovu staze za bob i sankanje koja je trenutno osposobljena za suhe treninge, a u budućnosti bi trebala biti glavni regionalni trening centar. U blizini bob

staze je i izlazna stanica Trebevićke žičare, kao i nekoliko lokala u kojima se možete udobno smjestiti i odmoriti nakon šetnje ovom čarobnom sarajevskom planinom.

Osim što je bila najzahtjevnija za realizovati, bob staza je bila i jedna od najstrmijih i najbržih na svijetu, ali i jedna od najsigurnijih. Koliko je teško napraviti dobru stazu, potvrđuje i podatak da je danas u svijetu samo 13 licenciranih bob staza

Trebević Bobsled

Author: Samila Ivković

A

part from deep-set memories of the biggest sporting event in Yugoslavia - the Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo in 1984, today there are still various facilities that were constructed at that time, which testify of the fact that such a spectacle took place in our country.

That is how a bobsled track was built for the requirements of the 14th Winter Olympic Games in 1984 at Trebević, serving for both bobsled and luge competitions (in a two-seater or four-seater). The bobsled was constructed by the best German company at the time called Dayle.

The work related to the bobsled was entrusted to professor Gorazd Bučar, who designed the Olympic masterpiece of the time with a group of architects. The construction of such a bobsled was demanding not just in terms of construction, but also in terms of installations, particularly because of the cooling system, which was entrusted to professor Zlatko Đikić.

The bobsled at Trebević was specific, as it was constructed as both a bobsled and luge track, and that became the standard of construction in the world after Sarajevo. The start of the track was at an altitude of 1108 m, the finish was at 982 m, and 74

and Luge Track

Apart from being very hard to construct, the bobsled was one of the steepest and fastest bobsleds in the world, and also one of the safest. It is not easy to construct a proper bobsled - this is reflected in the fact that today there are only 13 licensed bobsleds in the world the track was 1570 meters long. To build this kind of track, it took seven million dollars, and it was the most expensive facility that was built for the Winter Olympic Games in 1984.

Apart from being very hard to construct, the bobsled was one of the steepest and fastest bobsleds in the world, and also one of the safest.

It is not easy to construct a proper bobsled - this is reflected in the fact that today there are only 13 licensed bobsleds in the world.

At the Olympic Games in 1984, the luge competitions were observed by 20000 spectators, while the bobsled competitions were a bit more popular, with around 30000 spectators.

After the Olympic Games, the track was used for World Cup competitions. Apart from that, there was a great attraction called the Vučko boat where citizens, seven or eight of them in a single ride, could enjoy the magic of the bobsled. That is how after the Games it became self-sustaining, up until the beginning

of the war and the siege of Sarajevo, which began in 1992. During the aggression, there was a lot of destruction, and unfortunately the bobsled track was destroyed.

Because of the great love of Sarajevans towards Trebević, this mountain is slowly getting its former glow back, with the restoration of existing and the creation of new facilities.

Today, Trebević is a popular place for pleasant walks, running, photography, and extreme sports like downhill mountain biking.

There is also an initiative to restore the bobsled and luge track, which is currently suitable for training in dry conditions, and in the future, it should become the main regional training center. The exit station of the Trebević cable car is located near the bobsled track, as well as several establishments where you can get comfortable and relax after a walk along this magical Sarajevan mountain.

MIRZA NIKOLAJEV, USPJEŠNI BH. SANKAŠ

O

vaj 17-godišnji Sarajlija sankanje je zavolio već nakon prvog spuštanja niz bob stazu na Trebeviću, a da se sankanjem želi i profesionalno baviti, Mirza je shvatio onog momenta kada je postao svjestan ostvarenih rezultata, koje je popravljao svake naredne sezone.

- Ljubav prema sankanju se rodila prije pet godina, u ljetnom periodu kada se umjesto kliznika koriste točkići na sankama. Sankanje je ispunilo sva moja očekivanja, pa čak i mnogo više od toga. Poseban čar sankanja je njegova jedinstvenost jer se prolazno vrijeme mjeri u hiljaditim dijelovima sekunde, što nije svojstveno drugim sportovima.

SANKAŠI IZ SARAJEVA Sankanje pruža različite mogućnosti i prilike, što je Mirzi naročito predstavljalo izazov u bavljenju ovim sportom.

Nakon što se uvezao s trenerom i drugim sankašima, Mirza je hrabro zakoračio ka uspjehu.

- Osim doniranih sanki čija vrijednosti iznosi 143.000 KM, IOC nam je kupio i kombi koji koristimo za odlaske na treninge i takmičenja. Zbog nedostatka finansijskih sredstava zimi treniramo samo na trening sedmicama koje su obavezne za kvalifikacije na svjetskim i evropskim prvenstvima i trkama Svjetskog kupa.

Mirza je dio sankaške reprezentacije Bosne i Hercegovine i do sada je ostvario niz dobrih rezultata. Naročito je, kaže nam, ponosan na ukupni rezultat koji je ostvario prošle sezone.

- Potrebno je osigurati određena finansijska sredstva jer je sankanje naš jedini zimski sport kojim u kontinuitetu predstavljamo našu zemlju na najjačim svjetskim takmičenjima.

Postoje i mogućnosti da dobijemo stipendije, ali nažalost, od naših institucija nemamo podršku. Ina�če, ja sam od ove godine dobitnik Olimpijske stipendije koju dodjeljuje Internacionalni Olimpijski komitet (IOC), a koja bi mi trebala pomoći u pripremama za odlazak na naredne Zimske olimpijske igre.

Mirza pohađa Srednju ekonomsku školu u Sarajevu i nastoji da njego�� vo obrazovanje ne ispašta zbog sporta.

USPJEŠNE PRIČE / SUCCESS STORY

MIRZA NIKOLAJEV, SUCCESSFUL B&H LUGER

Luge has fulfilled all my expectations Author: Samila Ivković

MIRZA NIKOLAJEV, A SUCCESSFUL B&H LUGER, HAS BEEN ACHIEVING EXCELLENT RESULTS AT THE GLOBAL LEVEL IN THIS ADRENALINE-FILLED SPORT. MIRZA FEELS AT HOME ON THE LUGE, AND HIS TALENT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE; AS OF THIS YEAR, HE IS RECEIVING A SCHOLARSHIP FROM THEM

T

his 17-year-old Sarajevan grew to love luge after his first ride down the bobsled at Trebević, and he realized that he wanted to be a professional luger once he became aware of the results that he had achieved, which had improved each season.

- My love of luge started five years ago, during summer, when wheels are used on the luge instead of runners. Luge has fulfilled all my expectations; it has even gone beyond. The special thing about luge, what makes it unique, is that time lapsed is measured in thousandths of seconds, which is not the case with other sports.

LUGERS FROM SARAJEVO Luge offers various possibilities and opportunities, which Mirza found particularly challenging in this sport. After he made contact with his coach and other lugers, Mirza 78

sport. He is of the opinion that the Ministry of Culture and Sports should allocate adequate funds from the budget for this sport, at the cantonal and federal level.

Apart from loving and following many sports, Mirza is interested in architecture and photography. He also enjoys traveling. He especially liked Park City, a city in the American state of Utah bravely took a step towards success.

- Currently, there are four lugers from Bosnia and Herzegovina who compete at World Cup races and world and European championships. Even though this is an individual sport, I easily became friends with the other lugers from Sarajevo.

I don’t see them as my competition, but I advocate and cheer for them as much as I do for myself.

As of 2014, when the bobsled and luge track at Trebević was made suitable for training during summer, our lugers have been achieving excellent rankings in performances at the Junior World Cup and the World Championships races. The restoration of the track attracted the attention of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the FIL World Luge Championships, so our lugers received a valuable donation of 15 luges with wheels for training during summer on the Trebević bobsled.

- Apart from the donated luges in the value of BAM 143000, IOC also bought us a van that we use to go to training and competitions. Due to a lack of funds, in winter we only train in the weeks that are mandatory for qualifying at world and European championships and World Cup races.

Mirza is part of the luge team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and so far, he has had a number of good results.

He tells us that he is proud of the overall result that he had in the last season.

- In the junior category in the overall world ranking, I ended up 7th, and credit for my results goes to my excellent coach Senad Omanović, to whom I am very grateful. His enthusiasm and love for this sport gives me additional strength to try harder and progress.

LUGE IS AN EXPENSIVE SPORT Luge is, says Mirza, an expensive

- It is necessary to ensure certain financial means, as luge is our only winter sport where we have continuously represented our country at the greatest world competitions.

There’s also the possibility of getting scholarships, but unfortunately, we do not have the support of our institutions. As it happens, as of this year, I am the recipient of an Olympic scholarship, which is awarded by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and which should help me in my preparations for going to the next Winter Olympic Games.

Mirza is attending the High School of Economics in Sarajevo and is making a great effort not to neglect school due to sport. The Law on Primary and Secondary Education allows him to have more prolonged absences from classes, due to his status as a prospective sportsman.

- I try to fulfill all my school commitments as best as I can. In addition, the teachers at my school have understanding for my sporting activities. I intend to go to university anyway, as education gives us more choices and opens up new perspectives in life.

Apart from loving and following many sports, Mirza is interested in architecture and photography. He also enjoys traveling. He especially liked Park City, a city in the American state of Utah, their style and way of life, which is completely different to ours.

When it comes to the future, Mirza’s ambitions lie in progress and new accomplishments.

- I hope that I will succeed in advancing my knowledge and capabilities.

It is my wish, and goal, to qualify for the Winter Olympic Games, which will be held in Beijing in 2020.

BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA / BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

razloga zašto posjetiti

Visoko

10 Reasons to Visit Visoko

80

1. KORAČAJTE TRAGOVIMA BOSANSKOG KRALJEVSTVA Vratiti se kroz vrijeme i posjetiti mjesta gdje su nekada stolovali bosanski vladari, mjesto gdje je napisana Povelja Kulina bana, predstavlja za ljubitelje historije jedno neobično iskustvo i nestvaran doživljaj. Krunidbeno i grobno mjesto prvog bosanskog kralja Tvrtka I Kotromanića (1377. – 1391. ), te ostalih bosanskih vladara, mjesto održavanja državnog Sabora, mjesto izdavanja i pohranjivanja službenih isprava, religiozni centar s prvim franjevačkim samostanom i franjevačkom vikarijom u Bosni, mjesto nastanka brojnih spisa i povelja, potvrđuju činjenicu da je ovo područje bilo i ostalo nezaobilazno mjesto u hiljadugodišnjoj tradiciji nastanka države. Lokalitet Mili/ Arnautovići proglašen je nacionalnim spomenikom Bosne i Hercegovine 2003. godine.

1. WALK ALONG THE TRACES OF THE BOSNIAN KINGDOM To go back in time and visit places where Bosnian kings used to rule, the place where the Povelja Kulina Bana (Charter of Ban Kulin) was written, represents an unusual and unreal experience for those who love history. The fact that this was the crowning place and burial place of the first Bosnian king Tvrtko I Kotromanić (1377 – 1391) and other Bosnian rulers, the place where the National Assembly was held, the place where official documents were issued and stored, a religious center with the first Franciscan monastery and vicarage in Bosnia, the place where numerous documents and charters were written, confirms that this area was and is an unavoidable place in the millennial tradition of the formation of the state. The locality of Mili/Arnautovići was declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2003.

2. CENTER OF MEDIEVAL BOSNIA

2. CENTAR SREDNJOVJEKOVNE BOSNE

In written records, the old town of Visoko was first mentioned on 01. 09. 1355 in the Charter of Ban Tvrtko I to the residents of Dubrovnik, but it is considered to have existed a lot earlier. It is one of the earliest examples of medieval urbanism in the region of Bosnia, and along with Mile/Arnautovići, it is thought to be the center of medieval Bosnia. Apart from its military and defense function, it served as a temporary residence of the Bosnian ruler, the throne of the Great Bosnian Prince, and it also served as a trade center with a suburb at its base called Podvisoki, from which the Visoko center (čaršija) gradually developed. Considering its historical significance, it was declared a national monument in 2004, and it is part of the cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Stari grad Visoki u pisanim izvorima prvi put se spominje 01. 09. 1355. godine, i to u povelji bana Tvrtka I Dubrovčanima, ali se smatra da je postojao mnogo ranije. Jedan je od najranijih primjera srednjovjekovnog urbanizma na području Bosne, te se uz Mile/Arnautovići smatra centrom srednjovjekovne Bosne. Osim vojno-obrambene funkcije, bio je povremena rezidencija bosanskog vladara, sjedište Velikog kneza bosanskog, a imao je funkciju i trgovačkog centra s podgrađem u podnožju zvanim Podvisoki, od kojeg se postepeno razvila visočka čaršija. S obzirom na njegov historijski značaj, proglašen je nacionalnim spomenikom 2004. godine, te je dio kulturne baštine Bosne i Hercegovine.

BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA / BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

4. BOGATO KULTURNO-HISTORIJSKO NASLIJEĐE Kao svjedoci dugogodišnje bogate historije Visokog svjedoče nacionalni spomenici, koji su dio kulturne baštine Bosne i Hercegovine, te ih je potrebno sve istaknuti: Stari grad Visoki, Mili- krunidbena i grobna Crkva bosanskih kraljeva, Okolište-neolitsko naselje, Tabhanska/Tabačka džamija, Crkva sv. Prokopija, Franjevački samostan sv. Bonaventure i Stara džamija s haremom u Goduši. Kao značajan faktor promovisanja i zaštite kulturnog naslijeđa je JU Zavičajni muzej Visoko, koji svakodnevno radi na zaštiti, očuvanju i promociji kulturnog naslijeđa ovog područja.

3. MJESTO SUSRETA RAZLIČITIH CIVILIZACIJA I RELIGIJA Hiljadu godina pisane historije i stotine tragova različitih kultura i civilizacija, koje su se stoljećima smjenjivale na ovom području, utjecali su da visočka dolina obiluje bogatom kulturnom baštinom i impozantnim sakralnim zdanjima, koji svjedoče o višegodišnjem suživotu naroda različitih konfesija i religija. Tri simbola grada, tri markantna sakralna zdanja, kao svjedoci tolerancije i jednakosti su Franjevački samostan sv. Bonaventure, Crkva sv. Prokopija i Tabhanska/ Tabačka džamija.

3. MEETING PLACE OF DIFFERENT CIVILIZATIONS AND RELIGIONS A thousand years of recorded history and hundreds of traces of different cultures and civilizations, which have alternated for centuries in this region, have affected the Visoko valley so that it is abundant in cultural heritage and impressive places of worship, which testify of years of coexistence of peoples of different beliefs and religions. Three symbols of the town, three striking places of worship, serve as witnesses of tolerance and equality: the Franciscan monastery of St. Bonaventura, the Church of St. Prokopije and Tabhanska/Tabačka Mosque.

82

4. RICH CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL HERITAGE National monuments serve as witnesses of the long and rich history of Visoko, and they are part of the cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, so we must point them out one by one: Old town Visoki, Mili- the crowning and burial Church of Bosnian Kings, Okolište- Neolithic settlement, Tabhanska/Tabačka Mosque, the Church of St. Prokopije, the Franciscan Monastery of St. Bonaventura and the Old Mosque with a harem in Goduša. The Heritage Museum of Visoko is a significant factor, working each day on the protection, preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of this area.

5. GRAD TRGOVINE I ZANATSTVA Visoko je nadaleko poznato kao trgovačko i zanatsko mjesto, a visočki trgovci se smatraju kao jednim od najboljih. Ono po čemu je Visoko i danas prepoznatljivo su koža i krzno, visočko suho meso, te tradicionalni zanati goduškog i liješevačkog kraja, koji se ujedno smatraju i za jedne od najljepših suvenira.

Ako ste ljubitelji ovih proizvoda, starina, rukotvorina, posjetite visočke dućane, koji obiluju bogatom i raznovrsnom ponudom.

5. TOWN OF TRADE AND CRAFTS Visoko is well-known as a place of trade and crafts, and the merchants there are considered to be among the best. Even today, Visoko is best known for leather and fur, cured meat, and traditional crafts from the regions of Goduša and Liješevo, which are thought to make the prettiest souvenirs. If you are a fan of these products, antiques, handmade items, you should visit the shops in Visoko, which are full of a rich and diverse offer of goods.

6. OSJETI UTJECAJ ORIJENTA Ne možete doći u Visoko, a da ne primijetite Šerefudinovu/Bijelu džamiju, koji svojim izgledom plijeni pažnju svih posjetitelja, bez obzira na vjersku i nacionalnu pripadnost.

Džamiju je projektovao poznati bosanskohercegovački arhitekt Zlatko Ugljen, te je za ovo zdanje 1983. godine, dobio prestižnu svjetsku nagradu za arhitekturu Aga Khan. Uvrštena je u sami vrh najljepše dizajniranih sakralnih objekata, a 2007. godine dobila je značajno priznanje mađarskih arhitekata, koji su je svrstali među tri najljepše dizajnirana sakralna objekta u Evropi.

6. FEEL THE INFLUENCE OF THE ORIENT You cannot come to Visoko, without noticing Šerefudinova/Bijela Mosque, which attracts the attention of all visitors, regardless of their religion and nationality. The mosque was designed by famous Bosnian-Herzegovinian architect Zlatko Ugljen, and he received the prestigious Aga Khan world architecture award for it in 1983. It is listed at the very top of the best-designed places of worship, and in 2007 it was recognized by Hungarian architects, who listed it among the three best-designed places of worship in Europe.

7. PROŠETAJTE BOSANSKOM DOLINOM PIRAMIDA Bosanska dolina piramida sastoji se od Bosanske piramide Sunca (Visočica) koja je, s visinom od više od 220 metara, znatno viša od Keopsove piramide, zatim Bosanske piramide Mjeseca (Plješevica) visoke 190 metara, Piramide bosanskog Zmaja (Buci) od 90 metara, te obrađenih uzvišenja Hrama Majke Zemlje (Krstac) i Piramide Ljubavi (Cemerac), a tu je svakako i Tumulus u Vratnici.

angkawi je arhipelag s 99 otoka na Malezijskoj zapadnoj obali, koji ima status UNESCO-vog globalnog geoparka. Glavni i najveći otok, koji se također zove Langkawi, okružen je tirkiznim morem i brdima, među kojim se smjestila prašuma stara 10 miliona godina. S cjelogodišnjom vlagom i dvije sezone, suhom od novembra do aprila, te vlažnom od maja do oktobra, s temperaturom od 25 °C do 32 °C, Langkawi je pravi tropski raj.

PJEŠČANI RAJ Otočje se nalazi u ekvatorijalnoj klimatskoj zoni, pa je sunčano i toplo tokom cijele godine.

Pored Datai Bay, prekrasne privatne plaže resorta The Datai Langkawi, koju je National Geographic prepoznao kao jednu od 10 najljepših plaža na svijetu, na otoku ima i mnogo drugih jednako lijepih plaža kao što je Tanjung Rhu, koja se svrstava među najbolje plaže u Langkawiju. S bijelim pijeskom i palmama, čistom vodom i stijenama u moru ispred, ima sjajan i atraktivan pogled, te se bez pretjerivanja može opisati kao pješčani raj.

Za one čiji izbor nije ljenčarenje na plaži, otok nudi mnogo aktivnosti i turističkih atrakcija. Ono što svakako niko 98

ne želi propustiti je prilika za odlazak u prašumu, gdje je moguće vidjeti langure, makaki majmune, crne džinovske vjeverice, te neke od mnogobrojnih šarenih ptica. Posebno interesantan je odlazak do visećeg mosta, odakle se pruža pogled na nepregledna prašumaska prostranstva.

LANGKAWI ŽIČARA Must see u Langkawiju je žičara koja odvodi posjetitelje u 15-minutnu vožnju do vrha planine Mat Cincang, odakle se pruža prekrasan pogled na Langkawijeve prašume, otočiće i vodopade, koji se vide tokom vožnje prema vrhu. Na 708m visokom vrhu nalazi se jedna od glavnih atrakcija Langkawija - Sky Bridge Langkawi. To je 125 metara dug, zakrivljeni, viseći pješački most koji u svim smjerovima nudi spektakularan pogled na ostrva Langkawija i Indijski okean, a tokom lijepog vremena, u daljini se mogu vidjeti obrisi Tajlanda i Indonezije. Most koji može primiti do 250 ljudi odjednom, izgleda kao da lebdi u zraku između planina, na visini od 660m. Oni najhrabriji mogu gledati kroz stakleni pod u ambis ispod sebe. Na svakom kraju mosta nalaze se vidikovci na kojima se može uzeti predah i uživati u hladnom povjetarcu.

Langkawi, a Tropical Island

L

with Magical Beaches

angkawi is an archipelago made up of 99 islands on Malaysia’s west coast, which holds the status of an UNESCO Global Geopark. The main and largest island, which is also called Langkawi, is surrounded by a turquoise sea and hills, where there is a rainforest that is 10 million years old. With year-round humidity and two seasons, the dry one being from November to April, and the wet one from May to October, with a temperature from 25 °C to 32 °C, Langkawi is a real tropical paradise.

SANDY PARADISE The islands have an equatorial climate, so it is sunny and warm all year long. The stable climate means that the Andaman Sea, which splashes across Langkawi, is relatively calm and pleasant. Apart from Datai Bay, the beautiful private beach of the The Datai Langkawi resort, which the National Geographic recognized as one of 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, there are many other equally beautiful beaches on the island, such as Tanjung Rhu, which is classified among the best beaches in Langkawi. With white sand and palm trees, clear water and rocks in the sea, there is a brilliant and attractive view, which can, without exaggeration, be described as a sandy paradise.

LANGKAWI CABLE CAR

A must see in Langkawi is the cable car, which takes visitors on a 15-minute ride to the peak of Mat Cincang mountain, from which there is a wonderful view of Langkawi’s rainforests, little islands and waterfalls, which you can see during the ride towards the peak.

At the 708-meter-high peak, there is one of the main attractions of Langkawi - the Sky Bridge Langkawi. It is a 125-meter-long, curved, suspended pedestrian bridge, which offers a spectacular view of the islands of Langkawi and the Indian Ocean in all directions, and when the weather is nice, you can see the outlines of Thailand and Indonesia in the distance. The bridge, which can accommodate 250 people at once, looks like it is floating on air between mountains, at a height of 660 m. Those who are feeling brave can look through the glass floor into the abyss in front of them. At each end of the bridge, there are vantage points where you can have a break and enjoy the cool breeze.

For those who prefer not to lie around on the beach, the island offers many activities and tourist attractions. Something that should certainly not be missed is the opportunity to see a rainforest, where you can see langurs, macaque monkeys, black giant squirrels, and some of the numerous colorful birds. A visit to the suspended bridge is very interesting, as there is a view from there of the vast expanse of the rainforest.

MOĆNI KUALA LUMPUR GLAVNI GRAD MALEZIJE, KUALA LUMPUR, ČIJOM PANORAMOM DOMINIRAJU MODERNI TORNJEVI, MUNARE I KUPOLE HRAMOVA, SA STANOVNICIMA KOJI ČINE MOZAIK RAZLIČITIH KULTURA, VAŽI ZA JEDAN OD NAJUZBUDLJIVIJIH I NAJVIBRANTNIJIH GRADOVA AZIJE.

I

zmeđu visokih nebodera, parkova i mnogo uličnih marketa, živi ova užurbana metropola koja kombinacijom starog i novog stvara ugodan kontrast, što je dio njegovog neodoljivog šarma. To je grad, koji je između 1.200 nominovanih gradova iz 220 različitih država, ponio titulu Sedam novih svjetskih čuda. Grad koji se iz godine u godinu nalazi među 10 najposjećenijih gradova na svijetu.

ŠTA VIDJETI U KUALA LUMPURU? Zvuči nevjerovatno da čelik i beton mogu oplemeniti neki grad i dati mu sasvim novu dimenziju, ali tornjevi blizanci Petronas su arhitektonsko čudo Kuala Lumpura, s njima je ovaj grad postao još moćniji i šarmantniji. Oko njega se skoro 24h okupljaju turisti…

Unutar tornjeva se nalazi muzej nafte, koncertna dvorana, džamija i 100

multimedijalni konferencijski centar. Tornjevi su opremljeni s ukupno 76 liftova, od čega je 58 dvospratnih liftova čiji donji dio staje na neparnim, a gornji na parnim spratovima, čija najveća brzina je 7 m/s, a mogu da povezu 26, odnosno 52 osobe.

Dvospratni Sky Bridge, dužine 58,4 metra i težak 750 tona, povezuje dva tornja na 41. i 42. Spratu.

PETRONAS TORNJEVI U BROJKAMA 88 spratova, 1800 vrata, 32 000 prozora, 765 stepenica, 29 sistema pokretnih stepenica i 76 liftova, impresivne su brojke koje pokazuju kakav su projekt tornjevi blizanci Petronas u Kuala Lumpuru u Maleziji.

Ono što također treba vidjeti u Kuala Lumpuru su Batu pećine, jedna od najposjećenijih turističkih atrakcija Malezije, unutar kojih se nalazi

najveći hinduistički hram izvan teritorije Indije. U podnožju stepeništa je visoka statua božanstva Murugana, koji je najmlađi sin boga Šive i boginje Parvati, kome je hram i posvećen. Statua od 43 metra je najviša statua Murugana na svijetu, na čije farbanje je potrošeno 300 litara zlatne boje.

Tu je i prelijepa džamija Putra s munarom visokom 116 metara.

Građena je od rozog granita, jer je roza simbol ljubavi i dobra u islamu.

Može primiti do 15 hiljada vjernika unutar svojih elegantnih odaja.

Vrijedan posjete je i Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, koji se nalazi 10 minuta od centra Kuala Lumpura. Park je dom za više od 3.000 ptica, a ono što razlikuje Kuala Lumpur Bird Park od ostalih parkova ptica je koncept slobodnog leta. U neposrednoj blizini je i Vrt orhideja s hiljadama raznobojnih orhideja različitih vrsta.

THE POWERFUL KUALA LUMPUR THE CAPITAL OF MALAYSIA, KUALA LUMPUR, WHICH HAS A PANORAMA DOMINATED

BY MODERN TOWERS, MINARETS AND DOMES OF TEMPLES, AND A POPULATION MADE UP OF A MOSAIC OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, IS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING AND VIBRANT CITIES OF ASIA

B

etween the skyscrapers, parks and many street markets lives this busy metropolis, creating a pleasant contrast with a combination of the old and the new, which is part of its irresistible charm. This is a city that, out of 1200 nominated cities from 220 different countries, took the title of New Seven Wonders of the World. A city that, year after year, is among the top 10 most visited cities in the world.

WHAT TO SEE IN KUALA LUMPUR? It sounds unbelievable that steel and concrete could refine a city and give it a completely new dimension, but the Petronas Twin Towers are the architectural wonder of Kuala Lumpur, and with them this city has become even more powerful and charming. Tourists gather here almost 24/7‌ Within the towers, there is an oil museum, concert hall, mosque and multimedia conference center.

102

The towers are equipped with a total of 76 elevators, of which 58 are double-deck elevators, where the lower part stops on odd-numbered floors, while the upper part stops on even-numbered floors, with a top speed of 7 m/s, and they can accommodate 26, i.e. 52 people.

PETRONAS TOWERS IN NUMBERS 88 floors, 1800 doors, 32 000 windows, 765 stairs, 29 escalators and 76 elevators are the impressive numbers which show the magnitude of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The double-decker Skybridge, 58.4 meters in length and weighing 750 tons, connects the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floor.

What you must also see in Kuala Lumpur are the Batu Caves, one of the most visited tourist attractions of Malaysia, within which there is the greatest Hindu temple outside of the

territory of India. At the foot of the stairs, there is the tall statue of the divinity of Murugana, who was the youngest son of the god of Shiva and goddess Parvati, whom the temple is dedicated to. The 43-meter statue is the tallest statue of Murugana in the world, and in order to paint it, 300 liters of gold coloring was used.

There is also the beautiful Putra Mosque, with a 116-meter minaret.

It was constructed out of pink granite, because pink is the symbol of love and goodness in Islam. It can accommodate up to 15 thousand worshippers within its elegant chambers.

The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is also worth visiting, only 10 minutes from the center of Kuala Lumpur. The park is home to over 3000 birds, and what sets the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park apart from other bird parks is the concept of free flight. In the immediate vicinity, there is also the Orchid Garden with thousands of colorful orchid species.

KAFTAN STUDIO

DOMAĆI BREND KOJI OSVAJA crvene tepihe širom svijeta Autor: Samila Ivković

K

valitetni i luksuzni materijali, posvećenost kreiranju i izradi, te velika doza ženstvenosti utkana u svaki dizajnerski komad s etiketom Made in BiH, ono je što karakteriše popularni bh. brend Kaftan studio. Dizajnerski modni duo iz Sarajeva, Emina Hodžić-Adilović i Nermina Hodžić, kroz više od 15 godina rada, kreirale su brojne vrhunske kreacije koje su zaživjele na crvenim tepisima širom svijeta, te tako oduševile sve ljubitelje mode, pa čak i one najizbirljivije.

- Oduvijek smo znale čime se želimo baviti. Još u toku studija na Likovnoj Akademiji, dizajn je bilo polje našeg istraživanja i usavršavanja. Po završetku studija, polako smo počele raditi prve kolekcije, formirale radionicu, tako dobile povjerenje klijenata, što nas je dovoljno ohrabrilo da pokrenemo svoj brend i otvorimo svoj studio.

PREPOZNATLJIV AUTORSKI IZRAZ Glavna motivacija Kaftan studija je kroz sve ove godine bila potreba za kreativnim izražavanjem kroz modni dizajn, a cilj je bio napraviti kvalitetan brend pod etiketom Made in BIH. Pitali smo sestre Eminu i Nerminu šta ih izdavaja u mnoštvu brendova koji danas postoje...

- Mi smo od početka gradile prepoznatljiv autorski izraz s kojim smo se izdvojile kao umjetnice, dizajnerice. Kaftan studio je konkretno u regiji postao uzor mnogim dizajnerima, što nas zaista raduje. Ono što 104

Zahvaljujući Kaftan studiju, Bosna i Hercegovina je imala prvi put kreaciju na crvenom tepihu dodjele Oscara. Objavljeni smo u prestižnim modnim magazinima širom svijeta. Stilisti su oduševljeni našim radovima i često nas biraju nas je izdvojilo i što nas diferencira u odnosu na ostale jeste činjenica da pristupamo dizajnu studiozno i da radimo na sebi prije svega, što se reflektira na dizajn i sam proizvod.

Kako kažu vlasnice, koncept Kaftan studija se nije mnogo promijenio od samih početaka, ali naglašavaju da je jako bitno da sazrijeva i da ga poboljšavaju sa svakom novom kolekcijom i prezentacijom radova koje izlaze iz ovog studija.

105

USPJEŠNE PRIČE / SUCCESS STORY

Emina i Nermina su nam otkrile šta je potrebno za dobar i kvalitetan proizvod na polju dizajna.

- Kada poznajete dizajnersku struku, onda osim estetike morate zadovoljiti i formu, morate poznavati materijal s kojim radite, kao i tehnike postizanja rezultata prilikom izvedbe dizajnerskog rješenja.

POZNANSTVO S PRINCEZOM DEENOM Tokom prošlogodišnje Sedmice mode u Parizu, dizajnerice Kaftan studija su upoznale princezu Deenu Abdulaziz, bivšu urednicu Vogue Arabia, koja je ranije nosila njihove kreacije. Otkrile su nam kako je došlo do saradnje s njom i do toga da izabere komad odjeće iz njihovog studija.

- Dobar dizajn nađe svoj put, a društvene mreže su jedan od tih puteva.

Zahvaljujući Kaftan studiju, Bosna i Hercegovina je imala prvi put kreaciju na crvenom tepihu dodjele Oscara. Objavljeni smo u prestižnim modnim magazinima širom svijeta.

106

Stilisti su oduševljeni našim radovima i često nas biraju. Jednostavno, ako dobro i uporno radite, razvijate se kao autor i tu ne postoje nikakve granice. Prepustite se radu i rezultati sami dolaze.

- Volimo biti dio sretnih trenutaka naših klijentica. Što se tiče materijala, volimo raditi sa svim, jer je to naše sredstvo za rad, medij putem kojih izražavamo svoje dizajnerske sposobnosti.

Na pitanje koliko su im značajna poznanstva poput ovog s princezom Deenom, iz Kaftan studija poručuju da je poznavanje dizajna njihovo najznačajnije poznanstvo. Ne koriste se, kažu, ličnim poznanstvima da bi ostvarile uspjeh ili neku dobit, dizajn je njihov način komunikacije.

Kada ne bi bile dizajnerice Kaftan studija, ove dvije sestre su saglasne da bi se bavile edukacijom budućih dizajnera. A, osim poslovnih obaveza koje im ne predstavljaju teret već zadovoljstvo, Emina i Nermina ipak nađu vremena i za predah.

- Osobe koje prepoznaju kvalitetan dizajn vrlo lako se identificiraju s nama i našim radovima. Možete imati sva poznanstva svijeta, ali ako je ono što nudite polovično ili blijeda kopija, onda vjerujte da ćete ostvarivati iste takve rezultate i trošiti dragocjeno vrijeme na sve, osim na rad i dizajn.

Emina i Nermina su u najvećoj mjeri posvećene dizajniranju svečanih haljina i vjenčanica, koje se uvijek rade za posebne prilike, a povod je uvijek radostan.

- Uvijek razmišljamo i bavimo se dizajnom. Trenutke predaha provodimo s porodicom na planini, zajedničkim druženjima uz film, predstavu, koncert, odlazak na izlet... Također, volimo i putovati. Svako putovanje nas je dodatno obogatilo i donijelo novo oduševljenje i iskustvo. Francuska, Španija, Italija, Turska, putova� nja po Istoku... Svaka destinacija ima svoju lijepu stranu i specifičnost.

Sebi, a i drugima, dizajnerice Kaftan studija u Novoj godini su poželjele zdravlje i ljubav, dva najveća izvora za zahvalnost, snagu i sreću.

KAFTAN STUDIO LOCAL BRAND THAT IS CONQUERING Red Carpets across the World Author: Samila Ivković

H

igh-quality and luxurious fabrics, dedication towards creation and production, and a lot of femininity sown into each designer piece with the label Made in B&H, is what characterizes the popular B&H brand Kaftan Studio. Throughout their 15 years of work, the fashion duo of designers from Sarajevo, Emina Hodžić-Adilović and Nermina Hodžić, has cre�ated numerous superb creations that have come to life on red carpets

across the world, thrilling all fashion lovers, even the fussiest ones.

RECOGNIZABLE CREATIVE EXPRESSION

- We always knew what we wanted to do. While we were studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, design was our field of research and specialization. Upon completion of our studies, we slowly began working on our first collections, formed a workshop, and gained the trust of clients, which gave us enough courage to start our brand and open our studio.

The main motivation of Kaftan Studio throughout all these years was the need for creative expression through fashion design, and the goal was to make a quality brand with the label Made in B&H. We asked sisters Emina and Nermina what sets them apart from the number of brands in existence...

107

USPJEŠNE PRIČE / SUCCESS STORY

INTRODUCTION TO PRINCESS DEENA During last year’s Fashion Week in Paris, the designers of Kaftan Studio met princess Deena Abdulaziz, former editor of Vogue Arabia, who had previously worn their creations.

They revealed to us how they came to work with her and how she chose an item of clothing from their studio.

- Good design finds its way, and social networks are one of those ways.

Thanks to Kaftan Studio, a creation from Bosnia and Herzegovina made it to the red carpet for the first time, for the Oscars. We were published in prestigious fashion magazines across the world. Stylists are thrilled with our creations and often select our work. Quite simply, if you work well and hard, you develop as a creator and there are no limits there. Do the work and the results come on their own.

When asked how important it is to know people, like princess Deena for example, they say that their most significant „acquaintance“ is design. They do not use personal acquaintances to be successful or have some kind of gain, design is their way of communicating.

- From the beginning, we had a recognizable creative expression, which set us apart as artists, designers.

Kaftan Studio has become the ideal for many designers in the region, which really makes us happy. What sets us apart and what makes us different from others is the fact that we approach design studiously and work on ourselves before all, which is reflected in the design and the product itself.

As the owners say, the concept of Kaftan Studio has not changed much since the very beginning, but they emphasize that it is very 108

important for it to develop and improve with each new collection and presentation of creations that come from this studio.

Emina and Nermina revealed to us what it is that is required for a good and high-quality product in the field of design.

- When you know a particular field of design, then apart from aesthetics, you must satisfy form as well; you must know the fabrics you are working with and the techniques of achieving results during the execution of the design solution.

- People who recognize quality design find it very easy to identify with us and our work. You can have all the acquaintances of the world, but if what you offer is incomplete or a pale imitation, then trust that you will have the same kind of results and waste precious time on everything other than work and design.

For the most part, Emina and Nermina are dedicated to designing formal dresses and wedding dresses, made for special occasions, that are always joyous.

- We love to be part of our clients’ happy moments. When it comes to fabrics, we love working with everything, as it is our means of work, a medium through which we express our designing skills.

If they were not Kaftan Studio designers, these two sisters agree that they would do the work of educating future designers. And, apart from work commitments, which do not represent a burden, but a pleasure, Emina and Nermina still find the time to have a break.

- We’re always thinking about and doing design work. When we take a break, we spend time with our families on the mountains, socialize together with a film, show, concert, excursion... We also love to travel.

Each trip has enriched us and brought new enthusiasm and experiences. France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, trips to the East... each destination has its prettiness and uniqueness.

The designers of Kaftan Studio wish themselves, and others, health and love in the New Year, two greatest sources of gratitude, strength and happiness.

Good design finds its way, and social networks are one of those ways.

Thanks to Kaftan Studio, a creation from Bosnia and Herzegovina made it to the red carpet for the first time, for the Oscars. We were published in prestigious fashion magazines across the world. Stylists are thrilled with our creations and often select our work

Transplantacija organa

U BOLNICAMA GRUPACIJE MEDICAL PARK

C

entar za transplantaciju organa u sklopu grupacije Medical Park, od svojih početaka ima misiju da spasi ljudske živote, a do danas je izgradio odličnu reputaciju zbog svojih ulaganja, specijalizacije i uspješnih priča, ne samo u Turskoj, već širom svijeta. Medical Park je u rangu s vodećim svjetskim centrima u polju zatajenja i transplantacije organa, u pogledu napredne tehnologije i specijalizacije, a o tome kazuje i činjenica da grupacija Medical Park godišnje izvrši 800 transplantacija organa.

110

Važnost transplantacije organa je velika, jer pomoću nje životni vijek postaje duži, a kvaliteta života raste s nižim troškovima u odnosu na tretman koji se koristi u krajnjoj fazi kod zatajenja organa, poput dijalize bubrega. Zbog svega toga transplantacija organa je važan doprinos čovječanstvu. O njenoj važnosti govori i to da Medical Park bolnice imaju pacijente koji su imali transplantaciju bubrega prije čak 20 godina, a koji su do danas osnovali porodice, obavljaju različite poslove i žive sasvim normalan i kvalitetan život.

Medical park grupacija, koja važi za jedan od najuspješnijih i međunarodno priznatih transplantacijskih centara, nudi svoje usluge domaćim i međunarodnim pacijentima, među kojima i pacijentima iz naše države.

Organi i tkiva koja mogu biti transplantirani u bolnicama Medical parka pacijentima iz Bosne i Hercegovine su bubrezi, jetra i koštana srž.

TRANSPLANTACIJA BUBREGA Transplantacija bubrega je najbolji tretman za pacijente koji pate od hroničnog zatajenja bubrega u terminalnoj fazi. Transplantacija

bubrega ne može se izvesti na svakom pacijentu koji ima zatajenje bubrega, a izvodi se nekoliko pregleda i pretraga da bi se odlučilo da li je pacijent kandidat za transplantaciju.

Ako postoji član porodice ili drugi voljan donor moguće je spasiti život pacijenta. U Medical parku se transplantiraju isključivo organi živih

Medical park grupacija trenutno se može pohvaliti timom od 10 članova koji se sastoji od najiskusnijih profesora iz SAD-a i Njemačke, koji su specijalisti za transplantaciju jetre i koji se mogu nositi sa svim ključnim vanrednim situacijama koje bi se mogle dogoditi tokom transplantacije jetre.

pronalaze rješenja za zdravstvene probleme pacijenata i postižu visok prosjek preživljavanja pacijenata, organa i tkiva.

donora, koji ne moraju biti u krvnom srodstvu s primaocem, ali krvne grupe moraju biti kompatibilne.

PRESAĐIVANJE KOŠTANE SRŽI

tehnološkom opremom i s iskusnim timovima za transplantaciju organa, Medical Park nudi veoma kvalitetnu uslugu za svoje pacijente, bez pravljenja ikakve koncesije na polju medicinske etike i poštujući prava pacijenata.

Ako i nisu kompatibilne, donor ipak može donirati organ koji će se, u zamjenu za kompatibilan, transplantirati nekom drugom pacijentu.

Transplantacija bubrega poboljšava kvalitetu života pacijenta osiguravajući mu bubreg koji će funkcionirati ispravno. Novi bubreg počinje stvarati eritroprotein s tim što nema pojave anemije, a kod žena reproduktivnom dobu ponovo se uspostavlja menstrualni ciklus i moguće je da se planira trudnoća.

TRANSPLANTACIJA JETRE Transplantacija jetre je postupak u kojem se terminalno bolesna jetra zamjenjuje sa zdravom jetrom donora. Transplantacija jetre izvodi se kada su iscrpljene sve ostale mogućnosti liječenja bolesti jetre i ovo je tehnički najsloženija transplantacija organa, ali je jedina metoda izlječenja terminalne bolesti jetre s obzirom na to da ne postoji mehanička zamjena za funkcionirajuću jetru.

Transplantacija koštane srži najčešći je transplantacijski poduhvat radi kojeg pacijenti iz Bosne i Hercegovine dolaze u Centra za transplantaciju organa Medical parka.

Transplantacijom koštane srži mogu se liječiti bolesnici s akutnim i hroničnim oblikom leukemije, te bolesnici s teškim oštećenjem koštane srži.

To je medicinski postupak koji se izvodi radi zamjene koštane srži koja je oštećena ili uništena bolešću, infekcijom ili hemoterapijom.

Ovaj postupak uključuje presađivanje matičnih ćelija krvi, koje putuju u koštanu srž gdje stvaraju nove krvne stanice i potiču rast nove srži.

Zdrave matične ćelije mogu doći od živog donatora ili mogu doći iz vlastitog tijela pacijenta. U takvim slučajevima matične ćelije se mogu uzgajati prije nego se započne s hemoterapijom ili zračenjem. Te zdrave ćelije se zatim skladište i koriste u transplantaciji.

Stručni timovi Medical parka brzo

Ne samo tokom operacije, već i u postoperativnom periodu, zahvaljujući godinama iskustva u transplantaciji organa. S vrhunskom

organ transplants per year speaks volumes.

Organ transplantation is very significant, as a person’s lifespan gets longer and their quality of life grows, and expenses are lower when compared to the treatment one would need in the last phase of organ failure, such as with kidney dialysis.

Because of all that, organ transplantation represents an important contribution to mankind. Its significance is reflected in the fact that Medical Park Hospitals Group has patients

who had kidney transplants 20 years ago, and today they have families, various careers and they lead completely normal and good lives.

Medical Park Hospitals Group, which is known as one of the most successful and internationally recognized transplantation centers, offers its services to local and international patients, including patients from our country. The organs and tissue that can be transplanted at Medical Park Hospitals Group are kidneys, liver and bone marrow.

KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS Kidney transplants are the best treatment for patients who suffer from chronic kidney failure in the terminal phase. Kidney transplants cannot be performed on every patient who has kidney failure, and several checkups and tests are conducted in order to decide whether the patient is a candidate for transplantation. If there is a family member or some other donor who is willing to help, it is possible to save the life of the patient.

At Medical Park, transplantation is performed only with the organs of living donors, who do not have to be related to the recipient, but their blood groups must be compatible.

Even if they are not compatible, a donor can still donate an organ that will be used for some other patient, with whom there is compatibility. A kidney transplant improves quality of life for the patient, ensuring a kidney that will function properly. The new kidney starts producing erythropoietin and there is no anemia, and women of reproductive age re-establish their menstrual cycle, making it possible to plan pregnancy.

LIVER TRANSPLANTS Liver transplantation is a procedure where a terminally ill liver is replaced with a healthy donor liver. Liver transplants are performed when all

other possibilities have been exhausted when it comes to treating the disease of the liver, and this is technically the most complex organ transplantation, but it is the only method of treating the terminal disease of the liver, considering that there is no mechanical replacement for a functioning liver.

Medical Park Hospitals Group can currently boast of a team of 10 members, comprising of the most experienced professors from the USA and Germany, who are liver transplant specialists and who can manage any emergency that can arise during a liver transplant.

BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT A bone marrow transplant is the most frequently performed type of transplantation procedure that patients from Bosnia and Herzegovina come for to the Center for Organ Transplantation of Medical Park Hospitals Group. Bone marrow transplants are done on patients with acute and chronic leukemia, and those with severe bone marrow damage. This is a medical procedure that is performed in order to replace bone marrow that is damaged or destroyed from illness, infection or chemotherapy. This procedure includes the transplantation of blo-

od stem cells, which travel to the bone marrow and create new blood cells and instigate the growth of new marrow.

Healthy stem cells can come from a living donor or from the patient’s own body. In such cases, the cells can be grown prior to chemotherapy or radiation. Those healthy cells are then stored and used during transplantation.

The professional team of Medical Park Hospitals Group quickly finds solutions for patients’ health issues and they have a high average of the survival of patients, organs and tissue. Not just during an operation, but also during the post-operative period, thanks to years of experience in organ transplants. With top technological equipment and experienced organ transplant teams, Medical Park offers a high-quality service for its patients, without any compromise when it comes to medical ethics and respecting the rights of patients.

I

am the Fish that is made of Gold, what is your wish (Ja sam ribica napravljena od zlata, koja je tvoja želja), natpis je koji će vas dočekati na ulazu sarajevskog caffea Zlatna ribica.

Kada zakoračite u unutrašnjost uočit ćete da je sve u vintage i retro stilu, a da interijerom vladaju neobični predmeti iz prošlosti: ogledala, crno-bijele slike, gobleni, razglednice, plakati, knjige, namještaj i odjeća. U pozadini svira jazz i blues. Karta pića je ispisana u obliku bh. pasoša, a u stolovima ispod stakla ćete pronaći mnoštvo razli-

čitih papirnatih novčanica, kovanica i ljubavnih poruka od posjetitelja iz cijelog svijeta. U središtu kafića smješten je akvarijum s Dorom, pravom zlatnom ribicom.

Ljubazno osoblje obučeno u različite kostime služi piće u unikatnim i neobičnim šoljama i čašama. Neobičan je i toalet u kojem se nalaze mali retro televizor, retro telefon, četke za kosu, toaletne potrepštine, kozmetika i peškiri.

Ovaj unikatni caffe je otvoren prije više od trideset godina i posjećuju ga Sarajlije, stran ci, turisti, diplomate i svi oni koji žele da za trenutak

uplove u neko drugo vrijeme i da se prisjete prošlosti.

National Geographic je uvrstio Zlatnu ribicu na listu fenomenalnih mjesta, a na TripAdvisor-u nosi 4,5 zvjezdice. Vlasnik ovog kafića kaže da u Ribici vlada organizovani haos koji vam sve vrijeme privlači pažnju, jer ako pogledate bilo gdje pronaći ćete nešto interesantno.

Zlatna Ribica se nalazi u centru Sarajeva, u neposrednoj blizini Vječne vatre. Pređete ulicu Maršala Tita, skrenete na desnu stranu, pa na lijevu i naći ćete se pred vratima ovog neobičnog, ali zaista predivnog kafića.
