Poštovani putnici!

Dear Passengers,

Završava još jedna kalendarska godina, u kojoj smo nastojali učiniti sve kako biste se vi u našim zrakoplovima uvijek osjećali ugodno. Nastojat ćemo i dalje poboljšavati našu uslugu, a novi obroci u poslovnom razredu još su jedan korak u tom smjeru. Od ove zime, naime, putnici poslovnog razreda mogu uživati u ukusnim obrocima pripremljenima po autohtonim hrvatskim receptima.

Kraj godine uvijek je prigoda da posebno zahvalimo svim našim poslovnim partnerima na predanoj suradnji. Istinski zahvaljujemo svima, ali izdvajamo jednu, za nas važnu, obljetnicu. Već 15 godina naša je tvrtka ovlaštena za tehničko održavanje inozemnih zrakoplova. Lufthansin zrakoplov bio je prvi na kojemu su naši stručnjaci obavili različite radove. Iskreno zahvaljujemo našim kolegama na neprekinutoj suradnji i povjerenju koje su nam darovali.

Ali, ponajviše, dragi putnici, zahvaljujemo vama koji birate našu kompaniju kao pouzdanog partnera na putu do odredišta. Dijelimo s vama radost što će vas naši zrakoplovi i u ove blagdanske dane voditi do vaših najmilijih. Želimo vam mnogo lijepih trenutaka u danima koji su pred vama i u cijeloj godini.

Another year has ended in which we have put forward the utmost effort in providing our customers with the most comfortable experience possible on board one of our flights, and we feel obliged to continue improving that service. Introducing a new Business Class menu was one step in that direction. Beginning this winter, Business Class passengers can enjoy delicious inflight meals created from autochthonous Croatian recipes.

This time of year is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge all our business partners for their commitment to our work. We are truly grateful to everyone, and we are especially proud of another landmark moment. For the last fifteen years, our company has been certified for the technical maintenance of foreign aircraft, the very first of which was a Lufthansa airliner, and our specialised technicians have performed various checks and repair services. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our many associates and partners for their ongoing cooperation and support, and for putting their trust in us. Moreover, dear passengers, we would like to extend our appreciation to all of you as well for choosing to fly with Croatia Airlines to your destination of choice. We take great pleasure in bringing you closer to your loved ones for the holidays. Please accept our best wishes for the many memorable moments you will have in the coming days and throughout the new year.

Sretan vam Božić i nova godina!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Goran Petercol is a Croatian artist with the greatest international presence today. He currently lives and works in Rijeka and Rovinj, and works with the Gregor Podnar Gallery in Berlin, the Ursula Krinzinger Gallery in Vienna and others. This conversation took place in Rovinj, the artist’s birthplace, and it wasn’t by accident.

- Zanimaju me utjecaji onoga što me okružuje, što je u mojem susjedstvu. S čim imam kontakt. Zato mi može biti poticajno i ono čime se bavim (umjetnost) i ono što je prisutno uz to bavljenje. Što me fizički dodiruje. Ne mogu razmišljati, na primjer, o nekom hotelu nego o konkretnom hotelu, o onome koji poznajem. Konkretnije, na primjeru odabira radova za Hotel Adriatic, ne doživljavam hotel po sebi nego hotel i susjedno svjetlo na trgu ili hotel i znanje o gostu u hotelu, što je kao informacija moralo doći do mene i u tom sam sudaru dobio poticaj. Tada hotel vidim uvećan za postojanje tog susjedstva. Svako od

ga pronaći u svemu. I opet, stvaranje u kontekstu umjetnosti jest umjetnost, i u tome je smislu ograničeno. Pridavanjem značenja sporednom stvaranju, podsjećam na cjelinu koja je od umjetnosti šira.

nabrojenih zajedništava potiče me na nove logičke zaključke, mijenja mi percepciju zasebno svakoga od njih. Kao kad stolac postaje materijalno veći za količinu tijela koje na njemu sjedi ili žlica postaje integralni dio ruke koja ga drži. Ili obrnuto, kad u istoj situaciji tijelo vidim veće. Iako dodirom izjednačeni, omogućuju mi izbor da jedno vidim kao bitno, a drugo kao sporedno. Teško mi je govoriti o tome i biti precizno jasan. Svaka je stvar nastala po nekoj njenoj logici, rezultat je nekoga neizrečenog koncepta, kao da sam okružen različitim stvaranjima. Tako osjećam, zato nastojim, kad je to moguće, ne upotrijebiti pojam umjetnost. Umjesto toga, volim reći stvaranje, jer možemo

tičnoga svakodnevnog života, koji se utjelovljuje u receptima, namirnicama ali i šire - u načinu stvaranja i razmišljanja.

Koji su Vama bili zanimljivi trenuci takve razmjene iskustava i ideja?

- Ono što sam sebi zadao da trebam razriješiti jest smisao odnosa umjetnosti i gastronomije. Smisao dodirivanja tih dviju vrsta stvaranja. Prizvao sam vlastito životno iskustvo u kojemu u stankama tijekom crtanja pripremam jelo. Tako se stvaranje u kulinarstvu (bez obzira na doseg kvalitete) doslovce nastavlja na stvaranje u vizualnoj umjetnosti. Ta banalna situacija razrješava situaciju u kojoj dovodimo u vezu jednu i drugu vrstu stvaranja, dokazuje da ona proizlazi iz istinitosti života, a ne iz nasu-

mičnog miješanja jednoga s drugim. Tako je tekao i razgovor sa chefom Andrewom.

Držeći se svaki od nas vlastitog teritorija, pažljivo smo propitivali tuđi, nalazeći zajednička mjesta. Na primjer, sjećam se njegova sladoleda od vanilije s maslinovim uljem i cvijetom soli; bez obzira na to što je po sebi zanimljiv, osjećao sam da je izrečen kao smjernica za pravac razmišljanja, zapravo približavanja naših teritorija.

Kad bih sažeo ideju povezivanja naša dva teritorija stvaranja, odgovor bih našao u izjavi chefa Alaina Chapela, koji kaže da treba jesti istinu.

Kontinuirano surađujete s Galerijom Gregor Podnar iz Berlina, koja Vas zastupa već niz godina. Kakav je Vaš odnos s

jesu li se neki formati poklapali s određenim razdobljima vaše umjetničke prakse?

- Kad uzmem papir kako bih na njemu nešto nacrtao, uzeo sam nečiji gotov proizvod kako bih na njemu nešto dodao.

To nacrtano prisvaja papir i stavlja ga u kontekst umjetnosti. I obrnuto, taj papir utječe na ono što je nacrtano, stvarajući kompoziciju unutar formata. Pitao sam se, što ako crtam na nekoj stijeni ili zidu gdje su rubovi neodređeni ili dovoljno daleko, da se odnos do rubova izgubi te tako crtež kao da prestaje biti komponiran u format.

Tako sam se spontano snašao u vanjskom prostoru, unutar arhitekture, uzimajući za podlogu stvarne zidove. Na tako velikoj površini umjesto njezinih rubova usmjerio sam se na rubove vlastitog dosega.

galerijom i koji se zanimljivi procesi rada,

His working process embodies consistent and clear principles of bringing different elements into a harmonious relationship.

Starting with the artist’s own body and its relationship to the artistic material, his artworks become a sort of continuation of his physical reach and movement. Therefore, a particularly interesting result is related to specific moments and situations in the artist’s immediate environment, for which he has a striking sensibility. Using minimal tools, often even non-material elements like light, the artist achieves a maximum effect. The motive for this interview was a continuation of the collaboration between Artist Goran Petercol and myself, the custodian of Hotel Adriatic’s collection, which was part of the artists’ residential program project entitled: The Artist Meets the Chef.

- S Gregorom surađujem dvadeset godina.

Ponekad ga osjećam više kao prijatelja nego kao galeristu tako da nisam siguran s koje pozicije imam njegovu podršku što se u prvom redu sastoji od vjerovanja u ono što radim. Ta je podrška konstantna i mnogo mi znači. Ne ovisi o promjenama trendova, tržištu i sličnim stvarima koje povremeno čine nečiji rad zanimljivim ili nevidljivim. Imam potpunu slobodu što ću raditi, a ostalo je njegovo, tako nekako izgleda naš poslovni dogovor. Primjerice, dogovorio je moju prvu suradnju s kustosom Herculesom Goulartom Martinsom, koji me uvrstio u prvu izložbu novog prostora galerije Jaquelines Martins u São Paulu. Herculesa sam pozvao na večeru u Rovinj, jer morao sam mu objasniti pitanja oko postavljanja radova. Na izložbi neću biti prisutan, a datumi su se poklopili.

Ispalo je da je njegovo sudjelovanje na večeri imalo pravi radni smisao, uz to popraćen rijetkim luksuzom. Kako je djetinjstvo proveo na moru u Brazilu, imam dojam da je dodatno uživao, jer na odlasku mi je rekao da mora ponovno doći u Rovinj.

- Umjetnik svojim radom uvijek upućuje na vlastitu poziciju, opisuje sebe. Taj je opis ponekad rezultat stvaranja, kojega umjetnik može i ne mora biti svjestan, ali isto tako može ga koristiti da bi sebe prikazao na željeni način. Na primjer, netko slika žestokim bojama, nekontroliranim gestama jer ne može drugačije, ali on može na isti način slikati jer želi biti umjetnik koji tako slika. Ili pripadati nekom umjetničkom razdoblju, stilu, trendu… biti tradicionalan ili, rekli bismo, avangardan.

Ovim kratkim opisom označujem svoj interes koji mi je dao osnovu da se koristitim različitim konceptima stvaranja. Ako se, na primjer, koristim jednim konceptom koji me jasno određuje na jedan način i iz njega izvedem formu što pripada dijametralno suprotnom konceptu, tada blokiram mogućnost da me se odredi.

n 1963, walking around Rovinj’s empty streets at night, Goran Petercol created his first long-exposure photographic work, without even realizing the role it would play later. His nightly walk, a young man’s experiment, resulted in photographs, which are, today, on permanent display at the Hotel Adriatic in Rovinj, and have become a part of the international contemporary art collection of the Maistra Company.

Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka, the Modern Gallery in Ljubljana, Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig in Vienna, Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe and the IFA Gallery in Bonn.

You are one of only a handful of artists who have been present at the world’s largest biennale events: the 46th Venice Art Biennale, the 22nd São Paolo Biennale and the 4th Istanbul Biennale. Your works of art are represented in important public collections, such as the Arteast Collection 2000+ / the Modern Gallery in Ljubljana, the Ludwig Museum in Budapest, MUMOK in Vienna, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, and the Watermill Collection in New York. What basic principles and strategies do you develop in your artistic creations?

- I am interested in the impact of my surroundings, my neighborhood, whatever I come into contact with. Therefore, my work (art), as well as what is present alongside my work, can be stimulating for me.

Whatever physically touches me. I cannot, for example, reflect on the general idea of a hotel, but only on a specific hotel, one I’m familiar with. To be more specific, I’ll use the example of when I selected works for the Hotel Adriatic; it was not the hotel per se, but the hotel and the light in the square nearby, or the hotel and the knowledge

CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

_ 11

about one of its guests, which reached me as a piece of information, and this collision of sorts created an impetus for me. I then saw the hotel amplified by the existence of this neighborhood. Each of these associations encourages me to come to new logical conclusions, which affects my perception of each of the elements. Like when a chair is materially enlarged by the mass of the sitting body or a spoon becomes an integral part of the hand that holds it. Or the other way around, when I see the body as larger in the same situation. Although made equal by contact, I’m given a choice to see one element as essential, and the other as ancillary. It’s difficult to speak about this and be precise and clear. Each thing is created in accordance with a specific logic; it is the result of an unspoken concept, as if I’m surrounded by different creations. This is how I feel and because of this, I try not to use the term art whenever possible. I prefer the term creation because we can find it in everything. And yet again, creation in the context of art is art, and is, thus, limited.

By giving meaning to an ancillary creation, I point out the whole, which is broader than art.

Your collaboration with the Hotel Adriatic continues by way of the residential program, The Artist Meets the Chef, through which you met Chef Andrew Gaskin. Upon reflection with him, you created a dinner for guests interested in today’s world of art. Gastronomy and cuisine have their tried and true forms and expectations, and in this segment, the novelty brought about by such an experiment is the introduction of unexpected forms and combinations, and the creation of a mediating space of authentic daily life, embodied in recipes and ingredients, but also beyond - in creating and thinking. Which moments of this exchange of experience and ideas were interesting to you?

- The task I gave myself to solve was the meaning of the relationship between art and gastronomy. The meaning of contact between these two types of creation. I called upon my own life experience when I prepared food during breaks from drawing.

Thus, culinary creations (regardless of the level of quality) literally build upon creations in visual art. This trivial situation resolves the situation where we connect both types of creation, and it proves that it results from the authenticity of life, rather than from the

12 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

random mixing up of one and the other. This was also the flow of my conversation with Chef Andrew. With each of us holding onto our own respective territories, we carefully explored the other one’s, finding overlaps.

For example, I remember his vanilla icecream with olive oil and fleur de sel; besides being interesting in and of itself, I felt that it was a statement of his direction of thought, or rather, a way of bringing our two territories closer together. To summarize the idea of connecting our two creative territories, I would like to quote Chef Alain Chapel, who said that one should eat the truth.

You have continuously worked with the Gregor Podnar Gallery from Berlin, which has represented you for years. What is your relationship like with the gallery and what interesting working processes, presentation spaces and career development strategies are behind an excellent story like this?

- I have worked with Gregor for twenty years. I sometimes think of him more as a friend than a gallery manager, so I’m not sure from which aspect of the relationship his support comes from, but it primarily consists of believing in what I do. This support is constant and means a lot to me. It does not depend on changes in trends, the market and such things which occasionally make someone’s work either interesting or invisible. I have full freedom to choose what I’m going to do, and the rest is up to him - this is the core of our business agreement. For example, he arranged my first collaboration with Custodian Hercules Goulart Martins who included me in the first exhibition on the new premises of the Jaquelines Martins Gallery in São Paulo. I invited Hercules to dinner in Rovinj, as I had to explain certain issues related to setting up my art since I could not be present, and the dates overlapped. It turned out that his participation in the dinner was meaningful with respect to my work, and was also accompanied by a rare luxury. Since he spent his childhood near the sea in Brazil, I was under the impression that he enjoyed it all the more, because when we were parting ways, he told me that he simply had to visit Rovinj again.

You use and combine different materials and techniques in your work, creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art. Your artworks reflect your

physical reach with respect to the format of the background and space in which you work. This background can be a partition, a wall, a floor, a sheet of paper of a certain size. How do you choose the format of the background and then the format of your work; and have certain formats coincided with specific periods of your artistic practice?

- When I take a piece of paper in order to draw something on it, I’ve taken someone else’s finished product in order to add something to it. The drawing assimilates with the paper and places it in the context of art. And the other way around - the paper affects the drawing, creating a composition within the format. I have often wondered what would happen if I drew on a partition or a wall where the edges were either indistinct or not in close proximity, so that the relationship with the rim was lost, and the drawing was in a way no longer incorporated in the format. Thus, I spontaneously found my way into the outside space, within architecture, taking actual walls as the background. With such a large surface, instead of its edges, I focused on the limits of my own reach.

In your work, the creation of the work itself is an essential content of the work, which ultimately means that the work’s appearance is determined by the working processes and the techniques of connecting elements into a whole. Which techniques are important in this process?

- Through his or her work, an artist always points to his own position, describes him or herself. This description is sometimes the result of creation, for which the artist can, but does not necessarily have to be aware of; and he or she can also use it to present him or herself in the desired way. For example, someone paints using dazzling colors and uncontrolled strokes because he cannot do it any other way, but someone can also paint in this way because he wants to be an artist who paints this way; or he may want to belong to an artistic period, style or… to be traditional or, let’s say, avant-garde. This short description is what interests me, and which has formed the basis for my using different creative concepts. If, for example, I use one concept which defines me clearly in one way, and then derive a form from it, which belongs to an opposite concept, I thereby hinder the possibility of being defined. Maybe the logic of their mutual  interaction is closest to what I am.

Nebeska udobnost dostojna svakog hotela.

Ili onog koji Şeli usrećiti svoga gosta.

ovinj, ili, kako ga još zovu, plavi dragulj Jadrana, ima svoj osobit i jedinstven šarm i ljepotu. To je slikovit romantični grad sa starim kamenim kućama, uskim ulicama i životopisnim trgovima. Na vrhu grada dominira crkva svete Eufemije, koja je ujedno i zaštitnica grada Rovinja.

Gotovo tijekom cijele godine u Rovinju se održavaju vrlo zanimljive kulturne, zabavne, poslovne i sportske manifestacije.

Raznolikost tih sadržaja upotpunjuje se i brojnim zgodnim restoranima, kafićima, galerijama i uličnim šarolikim ponudama i zbivanjima, gdje se osjeća prava punoća života.

Boravak u Rovinju još je potpuniji i sadržajnijii zbog blizine niza turističkih odredišta u njegovoj okolici, kao što su Limski kanal, Poreč, Umag, Pula, Brijuni, kao i mnoga gastronomska i vinska odredišta u srcu Istre. Ne propustite kušati vrhunske istarske specijalitete i upotpuniti taj gurmanski doživljaj već dobro poznatim i renomiranim istarskim vinima. Upravo je jedno od tih vina sorte muškat nedavno dobilo i svjetsku medalju za kvalitetu na međunarodnom sajmu vina u Londonu.

Ali i to nije sve! Rovinj pruža nešto što pripada u vrh svjetske turističke ponude. To su veoma atraktivna i vrhunska događanja koja si samo svjetski poznate turističke destinacije mogu priuštiti. Jedno od takvih događanja jest i održavanje u Rovinju Red Bull Air Race, utrke posebnim avionima za te namjene, od koje zastaje dah. Riječ je o najbržim utrkama na svijetu, koje zahtijevaju vrhunske pilote, posebnu i vrlo zahtjevnu organizaciju i, naravno, značajna financijska ulaganja. Dovoljno je spomenuti da se utrka avionima održala u samo najeminentnijim turističkim gradovima kao što su Abu Dhabi, Las Vegas, Kuala Lumpur, Chiba u Japanu, Ascot u Velikoj Britaniji, Budimpešta i drugim poznatim i prepoznatljivim turističkim odredištima. Povijest tih avioutrka datira još iz 1909. kada je u francuskom gradu Reirsu bila prva takva avioutrka. Danas imaju milijune obožavatelja u svijetu, koje privlače velike brzine i do 370 km /sat u niskom letu, zahtjevne prepreke koje prolaze vertikalnim manevarskim okretima i drugim nevjerojatnim akrobacijama koje se izvode sukladno postavljenim pravilima utrke. Sve je tako brzo i puno adrenalina da često goto-

vo samo stotinka sekunde čini razliku između pobjednika i ostalih natjecatelja tih utrka. Da je riječ o osobitom događanju govori i to što je Ministarstvo turizma Hrvatske proglasilo Red Bull Air Race u Rovinju najznačajnijim događajem u 2015. godini.

Spomenimo i drugo veoma važno događanje na koje Rovinj može biti ponosan: Rovinj Beach Polo Cup ili, kako ga nazivaju, kraljevski sport, i to polo na pijesku. Okupile su se u Rovinju poloekipe najboljih igrača iz Argentine, Velike Britanije, Njemačke, Švedske, Švicarske, Austrije, SAD i drugih zemalja uz pedesetak dresiranih argentinskih polo-konja.

Bili su tu i najbolji svjetski polo-igrači poput Argentinca Uwea Zimmermanna, zatim Britanca Marca Holmesa, koji je inače poznat i po tome što često igra s kraljevskom obitelji, osobito s prinčevima Harryjem i Williamom.

Zanimljivo je da su se polo-igre održavale još davnih 20-ih godina prošlog stoljeća na otoku Brijuni i da su se vratile baš u ove krajeve nakon više od gotovo 100 godina. Polo-turnir održao se na posebno uređenoj Porton Biondi plaži u Rovinju.

Sudionici polo-turnira prodefilirali su na konjima i po gradu, što je bilo osobito atraktivno. Da je riječ o zaista osobitom događaju, govori i to što su takvi poloturniri na pijesku održani u samo svjetski poznatim turističkim mekama poput Miamija, Dubaja, Mallorce, Ibize, St. Moritza i u još nekim poznatijim i ekskluzivnijim turističkimj gradovima.

Povijest polo-natjecanja počela je gotovo prije više od 2000 godina u Perziji, zatim

Rovinjska ribarnica / Rovinj Fish Market

se proširila u Indiju, te iz Indije u Britaniju.

Danas su Argentinci vodeći u svijetu u toj sportskoj disciplini. Njihov spomenuti polo-igrač Uwe Zimmerman bio je i pobjednik rovinjskog Polo Beach Cupa.

Kao i sva velika svjetska događanja, njihov sastavni i nezaobilazni dio jest glamur. Tako se na ovom polo-turniru u Rovinju pojavila i Ivana Trump, zatim Philip Zepter sa svojom luksuznom jahtom i mnogi drugi uzvanici i poznate ličnosti.

Da dva vrlo atraktivna događanja nisu iznimka nego pravilo, da se u Rovinju gotovo već tradicionalno podržavaju i održavaju osobito važne manifestacije, dovoljno je spomenuti samo neke od njih: To su već dobro poznat svjetski festival senzualnih latinoplesova u lipnju

svake godine, u kojima sudjeluje čitav grad, njegove plaže, a u noćnim satima po klubovima čini vam se da ste u nekom tipičnom latinogradu s plesačima zaljubljenicima tih strastvenih plesova iz gotovo cijeloga svijeta. Jednako tako zanimljiv, ali za drugu vrstu obožavatelja, tu je i rovinjski tradicionalni međunarodni jazz-festival na kojemu je ove godine nastupao i poznati karizmatični jazz-saksofonist Joshua Redman. Kad smo već kod saksofona, spomenimo i međunarodni rovinjskli festival puhačke glazbe. Oni koji vole sport, dolaze na svoje jer tu je i tradicionalna jedriličarska regata krstaša, pa međunarodni turnir mladih u nogometu i rukometu. Ove godine održana je Porsche Parada Europe. I za ljubitelje glazbe Rovinj organizira tradicionalni međunarodni festival barokne glazbe i izložbe svjetskih slikara poput Dalija, Picassa, a sve do početka listopada održavala se i zanimljiva izložba slika Marca Chagalla.

Moglo bi se i dalje nabrajati, ali bolje je i ugodnije za vas da sami dođete u Rovinj i uvjerite se i oduševite njegovim šarmom i veoma zanimljivim događanjima.

Ovaj se grad zaista trudi, i u tome uspijeva, da se oni koji u njega dođu, gotovo po pravilu, ponovno sa zadovoljstvom i vraćaju. Osim vrhunskih hotela i usluga u sklopu vodeće hrvatske grupacije Maistra, tu je i predivna priroda i čisto more, svjetski gotovo luksuzno, uređene, ali i romantične prirodne plaže, osobito gastronomska ponuda za svakoga i poznata vina renomiranih istarskih vinara, bogati kulturni i sportski sadržaj uz veoma atraktivna događanja gotovo tijekom cijele godine. Sve to zajedno pruža posjetiteljima neobjašnjivi osjećaj ispunjenosti i zadovoljstva jedinstvene rovinjske atmosfere. 

ovinj, also known as the blue jewel of the Adriatic, has a specific charm and beauty. It is a picturesque, romantic city with old, stone houses, narrow streets and picturesque squares. The top of the city is dominated by the Church of St. Euphemia, the patron saint of Rovinj.

Throughout most of the year, Rovinj is host to very interesting cultural, entertainment, business and sporting events. The diversity of these happenings is complemented by numerous interesting restaurants, cafes, galleries and various street vendors selling their wares; it’s where the real fullness of

CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

_ 35

life can be felt. Spending time in Rovinj is even better due to the vicinity of an array of nearby tourist destinations, such as the Lim Channel, Poreč, Umag, Pula, Brijuni, as well as numerous gastronomic and wine destinations in the heart of Istria. Do not miss tasting the exquisite Istrian specialties and renowned Istrian wines. One of these wines, the Muscat, recently won a medal for quality at the London International Wine Fair. That is not all, however!

Rovinj also offers something that belongs to the best of global tourism. These are very attractive, top class events, which only globally-renowned destinations can afford.

One such event is the Red Bull Air Race, a breathtaking air spectacle performed with specially-designed aircraft, it is the fastest race in the world, requiring top class pilots, a special and very demanding organization, as well as significant financial investment.

This race takes place only in the most eminent tourist cities such as Abu Dhabi, Las Vegas, Kuala Lumpur, Chiba in Japan, Ascot in Great Britain, Budapest and other famous and recognizable tourist destinations. The air races date back to 1909, when the first such race was held in the French city of Reirs. The races already have millions of fans across the world who are attracted to high speeds (up to 370 km/h in low flight), and to the performance aspect of the event, such as the demanding obstacles with vertical manoeuvres, turns and other incredible stunts performed according to the established race rules. Everything is so fast and packed with adrenaline, it is oftentimes a hundredth of a second which makes the difference between the winner and other race competitors. This event is so special that the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Croatia declared the Red Bull Air Race the most significant event of 2015. Another very important happening, which Rovinj can be proud of, is the Rovinj Beach Polo Cup, held in mid-May. Rovinj was host to teams from Argentina, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, USA and other countries, with some fifty trained Argentinian polo horses. Among them were some of the best polo players in the world, including Uwe Zimmermann from Argentina, and Marc Holmes from Britain, known for his frequent games with members of the British Royal Family, especially princes Harry and William. Interestingly, polo games first took place back in the 1920’s on the

36 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

Brijuni Islands, and they have returned to the area after almost 100 years. The polo tournament took place at the Porton Biondi Beach in Rovinj. Participants in the polo tournament rode through the city on their horses, which was a particularly attractive sight. It is truly a special event, because such polo tournaments on sand take place only in globally-renowned tourist meccas, such as Miami, Dubai, Mallorca, Ibiza, St. Moritz and other well-known and exclusive tourist cities. The history of polo goes back 2000 years in Persia. It then spread to India, and from there, it came to Great Britain. The Argentinians are, nowadays, among the best in the world at this sport.

Their aforementioned player, Uwe Zimmerman, was also the winner of the Rovinj Polo Beach Cup. Glamour is a crucial part of all major, global events, so the Rovinj polo tournament was attended by Ivana Trump and Philip Zepter on his luxurious yacht, as well as many other famous VIP guests.

These two attractive events are not an exception, however, but more of a rule. Rovinj has traditionally supported and organized important events. Just some of them are: the globally-renowned Festival of Sensual Latino Dance, taking place in June, across the entire city and on its beaches, while the nightclubs offer an atmosphere typical of Latin America with dancers of these passionate dances coming from all over the world. Attracting a different crowd, there

is also the equally-interesting, traditional, international Rovinj Jazz Festival, which this year, featured a performance by famous and charismatic Jazz Saxophonist Joshua Redman. Speaking of saxophones, we must mention the International Rovinj Festival of Wind Instruments. For those who like sport, there is the traditional sailboat regatta, as well as international youth football and handball tournaments. This year, there was also the Porsche Parade Europe.

For fans of music, Rovinj also organizes the traditional International Festival of Baroque Music, as well as exhibitions of works by globally-renowned painters, such as Dali and Picasso, while an interesting exhibition of paintings by Mark Chagall has been on show since early October. We could keep going, but it would be better if you visited Rovinj and experienced its charm for yourself. This city really tries its best, and succeeds because most who visit it once happily return again. Apart from top class hotels and services as part of the leading Croatian hotel group, Maistra, Rovinj also boasts beautiful scenery, a clean sea, fancy and romantic beaches, a gastronomic package suited to everyone, famous wines by renowned Istrian winemakers, a diverse cultural and sporting program, as well as other attractive events throughout the year.

This unique Rovinj atmosphere offers visitors an inexplicable feeling of fulfilment and pleasure. 

vaki tip prostora unutar hotela Adriatic u Rovinju tretiran je specifično i odiše drugačijom atmosferom: zajednički je prostor udoban, u mediteranskim tonovima, i isprepleće se s krajolikom, hodnici crno obojenih zidova osvijetljeni svjetlosnim umjetničkim instalacijama vode do samo 18 bijelih i prozračnih soba s pogledom na gradsku rivu i venecijanske kuće natkrivene krovovima od terakote. Stoljetna zgrada tog hotela jedna je od najprepoznatljivijih građevina u Rovinju, važna za njegov identitet, što ne čudi s obzirom na to da se nalazi u središtu grada, fokusu svih događanja. Tako i svaki gost hotela postaje dio lokalne atmosfere i življenja, a ponekad je teško reći dominiraju li prizemnim prostorom Rovinjani ili gosti. Tu su se smjestili Caffe Bar Adriatic sa stotinjak vrhunskih viskija iz cijelog svijeta, od Japana pa do onih klasičnih irskih, i restoran Brasserie Adriatic s jelima inspiriranima francuskom Rivijerom te obogaćenima lokalnim, svježim namirnicama i plodovima mora.

Hotel je sagrađen 1913. godine na atraktivnoj lokaciji uz more, kao jedan od prvih hotela u regiji i jedini u urbanom tkivu grada Rovinja. Prošlogodišnjom sveobuhvatnom obnovom eksterijer je zadržao tradicionalni, autentični povijesni izgled, a novi interijer, za koji su zaslužni Studio Franić Šekoranja s 3LHD-om vizualno je bogat, eklektičan, suvremen, klasičan i elegantan, s mnoštvom tekstura, tonova i boja. Svaki je detalj razrađen: grafički dizajneri Lana Cavar, Marino KrstačićFurić i Ana Tomić osmislili su vizualni

identitet, a dizajn uniformi osoblja kreirale su dizajnerice iz Studija I-gle.

Glavno su obilježje interijera site-specific instalacije, nadopunjene manjim radovima koji su pažljivo postavljeni/odloženi u interijeru svake sobe, čiji su autori renomirani međunarodni umjetnici iz Hrvatske, Slovenije, Austrije, Italije, Njemačke i Francuske. Umjetničku kolekciju hotela, u kojoj će uživati znatiželjni gosti u potrazi za drugačijim iskustvom, tvori više od stotinu komada muzejske vrijednosti.

Umjetnike i umjetnine odabrala je kustosica Vanja Žanko. Oni rade u različitim medijima a na projektu ih je sjedinila aktivna želja za dubljim povezivanjem s prostorom te aktivacijom lokacije i njezine baštinske vrijednosti. Vizualni umjetnici zastupljeni radovima u prostorima hotela jesu: Abdelkader Benchamma, Jasmina Cibic, Igor Eškinja, Chris Goennawein, Kristina Lenard, Federico Luger, Charles Munka, Goran Petercol, Valentin Ruhry, Sofija Silvia, Saša Šekoranja, Massimo Uberti, Zlatan Vehabović, Žižić/Kožul.

Hotel Adriatic organizira različite kulturne događaje za goste i stanovnike grada, pozicionirajući se kao zanimljiva platforma za suvremene umjetničke izričaje.

Uskoro počinje s rezidencijalnim programom za vizualne umjetnike Umjetnik susreće kuhara, u kojemu povezuje suvremenu gastronomiju i vizualnu umjetnost.

Ovaj projekt slijedi kreativni okret Maistre, s obzirom na to da tvrtka već nekoliko godina podupire vrhunske umjetničke talente, predstavljajući sinergiju globalnih trendova luksuznog turizma i lokalne

if the ground floor is dominated by locals or guests. There is the Caffe Bar Adriatic with around a hundred top class whiskeys from across the world, from Japan to the traditional Irish blends, and the Brasserie Adriatic restaurant, with dishes inspired by the French Riviera and made from local, fresh ingredients and sea fruit.

The hotel was built in 1913 on an attractive location by the sea, as one of the first hotels in the region and the only hotel in the urban area of Rovinj. After last year’s extensive renovations, the traditional, authentic and historic appearance was kept on the outside, while the new interior - work of the Franić Šekoranja Studio and 3LHD, is visually rich, eclectic, contemporary, classical and elegant, with lots of textures, shades and colours. Every detail was meticulously planned: graphic designers Lana Cavar,

Marino Krstačić-Furić and Ana Tomić came up with the visual identity, while the uniform design was the work of designers from the I-gle Studio.

The main features of the interior are the site-specific installations, complemented by smaller works that have been exhibited/placed in the interior of every room, designed by renowned, international artists from Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Germany and France. The hotel’s art collection, which is sure to intrigue curious guests looking for a different experience, consists of more than a hundred valuable museum pieces. Artists and artworks were selected

by Custodian Vanja Žanko. Although they work with different media, the project brought these artists together out of a respective desire to connect deeply with the area, to uplift the location and increase

kulture. Program je razvijen s kustosicom Vanjom Žanko i umjetnikom Tomislavom Brajnovićem, a namijenjen je umjetnicima koji u radu tematiziraju mediteranski kontekst i pritom vrijednim umjetničkim opusima grade značajne međunarodne karijere.

Gastronomija i kulinarstvo imaju svoje afirmirane i provjerene forme i očekivanja, i u tom segmentu novost koju donosi umjetnički eksperiment uvodi performativnost, neočekivane forme i kombinacije, posebnost instalativnog postavljanja stolova, ambijent, pribore, posreduje neku novu uzbudljivu i neočekivanu priču. Umjetnicima se ovdje nudi vrijeme za refleksiju i prostor za nova iskustva, usporavanje umjesto uobičajenog imperativa novih umjetničkih produkcija na rezidencijalnim programima.

Tijekom boravka umjetnici se preko niza aktivnosti s različitim lokalnim partnerima upoznaju s gastronomskom i umjetničkom kulturom koja se njeguje u samom gradu i Istarskoj županiji. Svoj boravak umjetnici završavaju večerom koju pripremaju s glavnim kuharom hotela Andrewom Gaskinom za profesionalce iz različitih svjetova i sektora. Tijekom večere umjetnik gostima predstavlja svoj umjetnički rad na osobnoj razini - koji može biti izravno vezan uz fenomen hrane i stola kao platforme za komunikaciju i umrežavanje, ali predstavljen uz kulinarska iskustva, recepte i kuhanje. Održana je nulta probna večera s Goranom Petercolom, rovinjskim umjetnikom međunarodne reputacije, kojom je inaugurirana  ideja rezidencijalnog programa.

A hundred years old hotel building is one of the most recognizable structures in Rovinj, and it is of great importance for the city’s identity, which is not surprising because it is located in the city centre - the heart of all events.

the value of cultural heritage. Visual artists whose works are featured in the hotel are: Abdelkader Benchamma, Jasmina Cibic, Igor Eškinja, Chris Goennawein, Kristina Lenard, Federico Luger, Charles Munka, Goran Petercol, Valentin Ruhry, SofijaSilvia, Saša Šekoranja, Massimo Uberti, Zlatan Vehabović, Žižić/Kožul.

The Adriatic Hotel organizes various cultural events for its guests and for citizens of Rovinj, and has positioned itself as an interesting platform for contemporary artistic expression. It is soon starting its residential program for visual artists, An Artist Meets a Chef, which brings together modern gastronomy and visual art. This project is consistent with Maistra’s creative turnaround, since the company has been supporting talented artists for several years now, presenting the synergy of global trends in luxury tourism and local culture. The program was developed in cooperation with Custodian Vanja Žanko and Artist Tomislav Brajnović, and is aimed at artists whose work features Mediterranean motifs, and whose valuable artistic works are helping them establish noteworthy, international careers.

Gastronomy and cooking have their tried and true forms and expectations, but this segment is being expanded by artistic experimentation and is beginning to include performance, unexpected forms and combinations, where the table setting, the ambiance and cutlery choice and placement offers a new, exciting and unexpected story. Artists are given time to reflect and space for new experiences; there is a slowing down instead of the usual pressures of artistic production that come with residential programs.

During their stay, through an array of curing activities with various local partners, artists get to know the gastronomic and artistic culture encouraged in the city and the entire Istrian County. Artists end their stay with a dinner, which they prepare for professionals from various worlds and sectors, with Hotel Chef Andrew Gaskin. During the dinner, artists present their personal artwork individually - the artwork of food that is, where the table becomes a platform for communication and networking, and the art is manifested through culinary experience, recipes, and manner of cooking.

A trial dinner just took place with Goran Petercol, a globally-renowned artist from Rovinj, which inaugurated the residential  program.

zložba Orašar - najljepša božićna bajka, koja se u Muzeju za umjetnost i obrt može razgledati do 26. veljače 2017., donosi slojevito koncipiranu priču o slavnoj povijesti toga planetarno popularnog baleta, počevši od njegove praizvedbe (Marijinsko kazalište u Sankt Peterburgu, 18. prosinca 1892.) sve do današnjih dana.

Autorski trolist toga velikoga izložbenog projekta tvore Vesna Ledić (autorica idejnog koncepta i voditeljica projekta), dr. sc. Arijana Koprčina (autorica i kustosica izložbe) i Saša Šekoranja (autor postava izložbe). U suradnji s brojnim muzejskim djelatnicima i vanjskim stručnim suradnicima omogućuju začudan pogled izbliza na ovaj bajkovit balet. Pred posjetiteljima je raskošna niska izloženih artefakata: hrvatski i inozemni kostimi, oglavlja i scenski nakit, raznovrsni rekviziti, dokumentarne fotografije, privatna kolekcija drvenih lutaka…

Posudba Državnog baleta iz Berlina, postavljenoga 2013. u koreografiji Vasilija Medvedeva i Jurija Burlake, osobito je zanimljiva jer njihovo je raskošno uprizorenje Orašara vjerna rekonstrukcija izvornih scenografskih rješenja i originalne koreografije iz 1892. godine.

Jednako je značajna i posudba iz Zaklade milanskog Teatro alla Scala. Osobitost tih milanskih kostima iz 1969. godine u tome je što su specijalno kreirani za Scalinu ambicioznu produkciju Orašara, koji je tom prigodom prvi put zaživio u koreografiji znamenitoga ruskog baletana Rudolfa Nurejeva. Prekrasni milanski kostimi nose pak autorski potpis svestranoga grčkog umjetnika Nicholasa Georgiadisa. Nurejev je u milanskom Orašaru tumačio i ulogu pomalo ekscentričnog Drosselmeyera, nastupajući u kostimu koji zacijelo predstavlja jednu od najvećih atrakcija zagrebačke izložbe. Kako je Nurejev gotovo uvijek otkupljivao one kostime što su specijalno za njega i bili kreirani, to se u milanskoj riznici scenskog ruha čuvaju samo dva njegova kostima, koje upravo stoga brojni poklonici baletne umjetnosti doživljavaju kao svojevrsne relikvije.

Ova kompleksna izložba Muzeja za umjetnost i obrt donosi i izbor iz kolekcije kostima Belinde Wright, primabalerine Londonskog festivalskog baleta, poslije preimenovanog u Engleski nacionalni balet. Nakon smrti Belinde Wright, zbirku je 2007. naslijedio njezin dugogodišnji

Izložba Muzeja za umjetnost i obrt donosi i povijesni prikaz zagrebačkih izvedaba baleta Orašar, koje su odreda ostvarene na sceni Hrvatskoga narodnog kazališta, na kojoj je 1931. godine Orašar prvi put izveden pod svojim izvornim ruskim nazivom Ščelkunščik (Щелкунчик), zaslugom Margarete Froman koja je potpisala koreografiju i režiju te integralne hrvatske praizvedbe Orašara. Nakon tridesetogodišnjeg izbivanja, Orašar se tek 1970. vratio na zagrebačku scenu, i to u koreografiji i režiji Waczlawa Orlikovskog. S obzirom na to da je Orlikovskyjev majstorski oblikovan Orašar u Zagrebu obnavljan u tri navrata (1974., 1984. i 2004.), upravo su na toj dugovjekoj predstavi odgojene generacije hrvatskih plesača i poklonika klasičnog baleta. U navedenim produkcijama svoj su značajan doprinos dali i scenograf Zlatko Bourek (1984., 1997. i 2004.), kostimograf Leo Bei (1970. i 1974.), te kostimografkinje Ika Škomrlj i Diana Kosec-Bourek (1984., 1997. i 2004.), koje su reinterpretirale kostimografska rješenja Lea Beija.

Počevši od 9. prosinca 2011., Orašar se na sceni zagrebačkoga HNK-a, pred uvijek prepunim gledalištem, već petu sezonu zaredom izvodi u koreografiji i režiji Dereka Deana, te u kostimima i scenografiji Roberte Guidi de Bagno.

Po izboru Zlatka Madžara, zagrebačku izložbu o baletu Orašar kontinuirano prati decentna reprodukcija integralne tonske snimke Orašara P.I. Čajkovskoga op. 71 (izvedba: Orkestar Marijinskog kazališta

pod ravnanjem V. Gergijeva), a u izdvojenoj, individualnoj slušaonici posjetitelji mogu, po vlastitome izboru, neometano uživati u još dvjema velikim izvedbama ulomaka iz skladateljeva orkestralnog izvornika te u jednoj sjajnoj klavirskoj preradbi (izvedbe: Lenjingradska filharmonija

T

he Nutcracker - A Magnificent Christmas Tale, featured at the Museum of Arts and Crafts until the 26th of February, 2017, brings a layered story of the globally-popular ballet’s famous past, starting with its premiere at the Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg on December 18, 1892, until today.

The three creators of this major exhibition project: Vesna Ledić (author and project manager), Arijana Koprčina, Ph.D. (author and curator) and Saša Šekoranja (exhibition designer), in cooperation with numerous museum employees and external expert associates, offer a magical inside view of this fairy tale ballet. It includes an array of exhibited artefacts, including Croatian and foreign costumes, headwear and stage jewellery, various props, documentary photographs, a private collection of wooden dolls…

The loan from the Berlin State Ballet, choreographed by Vasily Medvedev and Juri Burlaka in 2013, is specifically interesting because their lavish adaptation of The Nutcracker was a true to life reconstruction of the original scenography and choreography from 1892.

The loan the Museum of Arts and Crafts secured from the Teatro alla Scalla of Milan is likely just as significant. The Milan costumes from 1969 are special because they were created specifically for Scala’s ambitious production of The Nutcracker, which was the first occasion this ballet was choreographed by renowned Russian Ballet Dancer Rudolf Nureyev. The beautiful costumes from Milan were designed by Greek Artist Nicholas Georgiadis. In Milan’s Nutcracker, Nureyev also played the role of the somewhat eccentric Drosselmeyer, performing in a costume that will surely be one of the greatest attractions at the Zagreb exhibition. Since Nureyev almost always purchased costumes created especially for him, two of his costumes that are part of the holdings in Milan are considered relics by numerous fans of ballet.

This complex exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Crafts also features a selection from the collection of costumes worn by Belinda Wright, the prima ballerina of the London Festival Ballet, later renamed the English National

Ballet. After the death of Belinda Wright, the collection was inherited in 2007 by her dance and life partner of many years Croat Jelko Yuresha.

The Museum of Arts and Crafts exhibition also provides historic insight into all of the Zagreb performances of The Nutcracker ballet, all of which occurred on stage at the Croatian National Theatre, the first one taking place in 1931 under the original Russian title Ščelkunščik, thanks to Margareta Froman, who choreographed and directed the full Croatian premiere of The Nutcracker. After a thirty-year absence, The Nutcracker returned to the Zagreb scene in 1970, choreographed and directed by Waczlaw Orlykowski. Since Orlykowski’s masterfully done version of The Nutcracker was performed in Zagreb three times (1974, 1984 and 2004), numerous generations of Croatian dancers and aficionados of classical ballet were trained during this long-running show. In terms of the aforementioned productions, great contributions were made by Scenographer Zlatko Bourek (1984, 1997 and 2004), Costume Designer Leo Bei (1970 and 1974), and costume designers, Ika Škomrlj and Diana KosecBourek (1984, 1997 and 2004), who reinterpreted the costume design of Leo Bei. As of December 9, 2011, for the fifth consecutive season, The Nutcracker is being performed on stage at the Zagreb Croatian National Theatre, choreographed and directed by Derek Dean, with costumes and set design by Roberta Guidi de Bagno.

At the choosing of Zlatko Madžar, Zagreb’s exhibition about The Nutcracker presents the soundtrack of the original recording of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker op. 71, performed by the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, conducted by Valery Gergiev, while a separate, individual listening-room offers visitors an opportunity to choose between and enjoy two other major performances of excerpts from the composer’s orchestral original, and one excellent cover for two pianos, performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Jevgeny Mravinsky; and the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich, and pianists Marta Argerich and Nicholas Economou.

An excellent stage performance, as well as a unique museum exhibit about the masterpiece of classical ballet has definitely placed Zagreb on the cultural map of the world. 

U Karlovcu je otvorena Aquatika, novi i jedini slatkovodni akvarij u ovom dijelu Europe.

Nijedna europska zemlja nema tako raznolike i očuvane rijeke kao Hrvatska. Hrvatske su rijeke golemo bogatstvo, ali još nedovoljno otkriveno.

Postav u karlovačkom akvariju prati tok tipične krške rijeke, pružajući detaljan, zanimljiv, poučan i uzbudljiv pogled u čudesan slatkovodni svijet.

Aquatika - the new and only freshwater aquarium in this part of Europe has opened in Karlovac. No country in Europe has such diverse and wellpreserved rivers like Croatia does. Croatian rivers are huge, but still relatively unexplored sources of wealth. The Karlovac Aquarium follows the course of a typical karst river, offering detailed, interesting and educative insight into the magnificent world of freshwater living.

ni akvarij Karlovac nastala je u sklopu projekta pod nazivom Slatkovodni akvarij i muzej rijeka - aquarium, koji je sufinancirala Europska unija iz Europskog fonda za regionalni razvoj u sklopu Operativnog programa Regionalna konkurentnost.

Nositelj projekta bio je Grad Karlovac, a partneri Hrvatski veterinarski institut, Hrvatski institut za biološku raznolikost, Gradski muzej Karlovac i Pan - udruga za zaštitu okoliša i prirode.

U 25 akvarijskih bazena prikazano je više od 100 vrsta slatkovodnih riba, od čega čak četrdesetak endemskih vrsta. Svojim radom, osim funkcije akvarija, imat će zadatak predstaviti tradicijsku kulturu, geološku prošlost i način života uz rijeke te biti na raspolaganju znanstvenom sektoru.

Akvariji u Aquatici biotopski su, što znači da vjerodostojno prikazuju tipičnu kršku

rijeku, te je zbog toga u akvarije posađeno i bilje iz naših rijeka. Svaki posjetitelj tako može doživjeti riječni tok od izvora do ušća.

- Morunu ćemo s vremenom pokušati nabaviti za akvarij. Najveća je riba Aquatike sibirska jesetra mase 15 kg. To je drevna vrsta, nešto kao slon među sisavcima. U osjetljive se vrste ubraja i kečiga, koju imamo u akvariju, no ona je manjih dimenzija.

Bit će zastupljene ribe iz cijele Hrvatske, a kojih ima oko 150 vrsta, najviše u Europi poslije Turske s azijskim dijelom, a tome broju mi težimo - kaže naša sugovornica Margarita Maruškić Kulaš, ravnateljica Aquatike i naglašava: - Želimo da najveća vrijednost našeg akvarija bude ta što ćemo preko turizma, znanosti i obrazovanja poučavati o biološkoj raznolikost da bismo generacijama koje dolaze u baštinu ostavili

prirodne ljepote naše zemlje.

Osobitost je Aquatike i njezin suvremeni dizajn, koji su projektirali stručnjaci iz nagrađivanog Studija 3LHD iz Zagreba.

Aquatika je projektirana na građevinskoj čestici veličine 8327 četvornih metara kao dvoetažna građevina s prizemljem i podzemnom etažom. Objekt ima 2781 četvorni metar, a akvarij će odjednom moći primiti 150 posjetitelja.

Aquatika će imati i mnogo dodatnih sadržaja. To je najprije kongresna dvorana kapaciteta 70 osoba u kinopostavu, a nalazi se u akvarijskom dijelu kompleksa, uz poseban ulaz za one koji žele samo iznajmiti dvoranu, bez ulaska u akvarij.

Osobita je po tome što se u njoj vide dva akvarija.

Zatim, tu je edukacijska dvorana/igraonica opremljena namještajem za djecu i ozvučenjem.

Nadalje, spomenimo čitaonicu u kojoj će se od otvorenja do 1. svibnja 2017. nalaziti zbirka Speleoteka u gostima. Riječ je o speleoteci iz fundusa speleoloških udruga iz Karlovca, a sastoji se od knjiga, časopisa, tematskih separata, brošura i dijela audiovizualne građe, a ima otprilike 5000 pojedinačnih naslova.

Napokon, Aquatika će opremati vlastitu znanstvenu čitaonicu iz područja prirodnih znanosti, a imat će i café bar sa zimskim radnim vremenom od 8 do 19 sati svaki dan, trg kao javni prostor za druženje i igralište za djecu - dva manja dječja igrališta s vanjske strane kompleksa, s pogledom na Koranu.

Slatkovodni akvarij Karlovac atrakcija je u svakom smislu: ekološkom, obrazovnom, turističkom, znanstvenom ili jednostavno zbog svoje originalnosti i toga što akvarij slatkovodnih voda ne postoji nigdje u široj regiji, osim u srcu Hrvatske, okružen četirima rijekama - u Karlovcu. 

T

he Aquatika Freshwater Aquarium is located in the vicinity of the Foginovo bathing area on the Korana River, in the centre of Karlovac, which won the Croatian Tourist Board’s Green Flower award for Best Public Beach in continental Croatia in 2011.

The aquarium complex is very modern, and its architecture, especially the green roofing, naturally blends in with the recreational zone of Karlovac.

Aquatika - The Karlovac Freshwater Aquarium is a public institution that was founded as part of the Freshwater Aquarium and Museum of Rivers project, co-financed by the European Union out of the European Regional Development Fund within the framework of the Regional Competitiveness Operational Program. The project leader was the City of Karlovac, while project partners were the Croatian Veterinary Institute, the Croatian Institute for Biodiversity, the City Museum of Karlovac, and the Pan - Association for Environment and Nature Protection.

The 25 aquarium pools feature more than 100 species of freshwater fish, some 40 of which are endemic. Apart from its functioning as an aquarium, it will also present the traditional culture, geological past and the way of life by the river, as well as be at the service of the scientific sector.

The aquaria at Aquatika are biotopes, which means our intent was to show a karst river as realistically as possible, which is the reason we included river plants in the aquaria, too. Each visitor can, thereby, experience a river’s flow from its source to the estuary.

- We will eventually try to get a beluga for the aquarium.

The largest fish at Aquatika is a Siberian sturgeon weighing 15 kg. It is an ancient species, something like an elephant among mammals. Another sensitive species we already have is the sterlet, but it is a smaller fish. We will have fish from all over Croatia, some 150 species, which is the largest number in Europe, after Turkey, the

Asian part, and that is the number we strive towards, says our interlocutor Margarita Maruškić Kulaš, Aquatika Director and points out: The greatest value of our aquarium will be teaching about biodiversity through tourism, science and education, so that upcoming generations can experience the natural beauties of our country.

Aquatika is also unique for its contemporary design - the work of experts from an awardwinning architectural firm in Zagreb - Studio 3LHD. Aquatika was built on an 8,327 square meter parcel as a two-storey building with a ground floor and an underground level. The building spreads across 2,781 square metres, and can accommodate up to 150 visitors at the same time.

Aquatika will also boast many other amenities, including a cinema-like congress hall for up to 70 people, located in the aquarium part of the complex, with a special entrance for those who wish to rent just the hall, and includes no access to the aquarium itself. It is a special venue because two aquariums can be seen inside. There is also an educational hall/play area equipped with furniture for children and a sound system.

Furthermore, we must mention the reading area. Between its opening and May 1, 2017, Aquatika is set to feature the Speleoteka u gostima (Speleological Reference Library) collection - a collection from holdings of speleological associations from Karlovac, consisting of books, magazines, themed excerpts, brochures and some audio-visual materials, numbering around 5000 individual titles. Finally, Aquatika will equip its own scientific library in the field of natural sciences, and it will also feature a café bar with daily winter working hours between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., a public square area, and a play area for kids - two smaller playgrounds on the outer side of the complex with a nice view of the Korana. The Karlovac Freshwater Aquarium is an attraction in every sense: ecological, educational, touristic, and scientific. Also, it is based on an original concept - there are no other freshwater aquariums in the wider region, except in the heart of Croatia, in Karlovac, surrounded by  four rivers.

Javna ustanova Aquatika - Slatkovodni akvarij Karlovac nastala je u sklopu projekta pod nazivom Slatkovodni akvarij i muzej rijeka - kaquarium, koji je sufinancirala Europska unija iz Europskog fonda za regionalni razvoj u sklopu Operativnog programa Regionalna konkurentnost 2007.- 2013. u iznosu od 36,200.000 kuna, a ukupna je vrijednost projekta 37,000.000 kuna.

The Aquatika Public Institution - the freshwater aquarium in Karlovac was established as part of the Karlovac freshwater Aquarium and Museum of rivers - the Kaquarium Project, and was co-financed by the European Union out of the European Regional Development Fund, within the 2007-2013 Regional Competitiveness Operational Programme, in the amount of HRK 36.2 million. The total value of the project was HRK 37 million.

Od davnina gledaju se preko mora Split i Šolta. Otok samo devet nautičkih milja udaljen od obale i središnjega grada Dalmacije, oduvijek mami u svoje okrilje. Svima koji su je pohodili, od njezina postanka do danas, dala je Šolta dio svog kolača. A stvarali su je trudom i mukom težaci, ribari, japnari (proizvođači vapna), pomorci, slikari, pjesnici...

Split and Šolta have been facing each other across the sea since the distant past. The island, just 9 nautical miles from the shores of Dalmatia’s central city, has always had special allure. Anyone who has ever come to Šolta has enjoyed a slicepiece of the pie. Šolta was built with an effort and struggle by peasants, fishermen, lime manufacturers, seamen, painters, poets…

Ispred Splita površina slana jedan otok posred je Jadrana.

ovoljno blizu, a dovoljno daleko... rekao bi svaki Šoltanin vjeran svom škoju, a i svaki putnik namjernik kojemu je Šolta ciljano odredište za odmor u tipičnome mediteranskome otočnome miljeu, puna mirisa i tradicionalnih okusa, prekrasnih zaštićenih uvala uz more te naseljima u unutrašnjosti otoka, koja odišu patinom starine i privlače okružjem još sačuvane ambijentalne arhitekture pučkih, izvornih graditelja koji ostaviše otoku u nasljeđe svoje dvore, crkve i povijesne spomenike.

Da nije bilo toga prkosnoga, radu i jadu vičnoga, otpornog čovjeka od škoja, ne bi se Šolta othrvala bremenu prošlosti i sačuvala tradiciju, ne samo u kamenu, nego i u nastojanju k povratku svom iskonu.

Otok se prvi put spominje u 4. stoljeću prije Krista pod imenom Olyntha, dolaskom Hrvata ime se kroatizira u oblik Sulet, a u vrijeme mletačke kolonizacije romanizira se hrvatsko ime u oblik Šolta.

Najstarija naselja na otoku niknula su na visoravni u njegovoj unutrašnjosti - Grohote (od antičkog doba glavno šoltansko naselje), Donje Selo, Srednje Selo i Gornje Selo.

Tu još danas pronalazimo prave bisere

tipične mediteranske arhitekture, koji se opiru vremešnosti i sporoj zaštiti, te modernim urbanističkim intervencijama što su mjestimice na rubu devastacije izvornog prostora. A upravo je ta lokalna graditeljska baština sastavni dio zavičajnog identiteta i neupitna vrijednost u turističkoj ponudi. Šolta je od pamtivijeka bila vezana za Split, koji ju je smatrao svojim posjedom.

Od 14. stoljeća Šoltani su splitskom plemstvu plaćali velike poreze i razne naknade. Prihodi od Šolte pokrivali su 60 posto rashoda grada Splita. Tek 1905. godine Šoltani su uspjeli otkupiti zemljište od Splita i tada počinje novo razdoblje u društvenoj i privrednoj povijesti otoka, no praćeno teretom masovnog iseljavanja.

Iz svega toga izdigao se šoltanski čovjek te uznastojao obnoviti ono najvrednije što otok daje.

Ante Buktenica Peculo u 87. godini života pravi je primjer upornosti i izdržljivosti čovjeka od škoja. Sâm obrađuje svoje masline, vinograd, vrt, proizvodi ulje, vino, rakiju, prošek.

- Ja imam svoju misiju, da ostavim budućim generacijama na uvid dio nasljeđa i bogatstva koje su nam naši stari, priroda i Bog ovdje podarili - riječi su Dinka Sule iz Grohota, slikara, pjesnika, prozaika, čovjeka koji ostavlja dubok trag u očuvanju prirodnoga i kulturno-povijesnog nasljeđa Šolte.

- Turizam je danas glavna gospodarska grana na Šolti, a osnovno polazište djelovanja udruge Moja Šolta jest upravo da odredište čine ljudi - kaže predsjednica

udruge Višnjica Čerić.

- Dio smo projekta Hrvatske turističke zajednice Hrvatska 365 i radimo na stvaranju destinacijskih proizvoda i povezivanju svih sudionika u turizmu preko Mape integrirane ponude Šolte.

Turizam Šolte uključuje i proizvodnju tradicionalnih lokalnih proizvoda. Šolta se može pohvaliti s 22 otočna proizvoda koja nose oznaku izvornosti RH. Jedan je od njih glasoviti šoltanski med od ružmarina. Tradicionalno pčelarstvo već tri naraštaja njeguje Obiteljsko gospodarstvo Tvrdić u Grohotama.

- Naš je moto Give bees a chance, na prezentacijama posjetitelje upoznajemo s tradicionalnim načinom proizvodnje meda i ostalih pčelinjih proizvoda, a povezani smo s proizvođačima iz cijelog svijeta - ističe Goran Tvrdić, koji je svojim pristupom i dobro plasiranom pričom ukorijenjenom u tradiciji dokazao da se može napraviti dobar posao na otoku.

S tim bi se složio i Frane Kaštelanac, čija obitelj već četiri stoljeća u Gornjem Selu sadi masline i proizvodi maslinovo ulje. Ekološki uzgoj maslina, suvremeno opremljena uljara, prezentacije i prodaja na kućnom pragu, pokazali su se kao jamstvo za budućnost pod imenom Olynthia - natura d.o.o. Sporo, ali uspješno oporavlja se i Dobričić, autohtona sorta vinove loze od koje je Tomislav Purtić u Srednjem Selu napravio brand prepoznat-

ljivoga šoltanskoga vinskog okusa.

A Vicko Buktenica, slikar naive nuove, nasljednik najvećega dalmatinskog slikara naive Eugena Buktenice Đenka, uredio je stričevu Spomen-kuću i Galeriju u Grohotama, koje su proglašene Centrom dalmatinske naive i postale nezaobilaznom točkom na turističkoj karti Šolte. Radionicama, kolonijama, izložbama, humanitarnim akcijama, nastoji prenijeti svoju ljubav prema slikarstvu, te tako pridonijeti očuvanju šoltanske slikarske tradicije.

Tu, na tome šoltanskom škoju, iz kamena i škrapa povijest govori - o čovjeku, zemlji, trudu, dišpetu, guštu i vječnom nadahnuću. Dvorovima i kantunima pjesma odzvanja. Brodovi zaklon traže u sigurnim uvalama Stomorske, Maslinice, Nečujma, Rogača. Danas Šolta ispisuje neke nove stranice, s novom vizijom, s novim zano som, za one koji tek dolaze.

C

onveniently close, but far away enough, as any local of Šolta loyal to their island would say, but also most travellers who choose Šolta as their typical Mediterranean island holiday destination. The island is saturated with scents and traditional flavours, beautiful protected coves and settlements in the interior, which exude an old-world charm and attract visitors with their well-preserved architecture.

Their creators, the original island builders,

vip weekend winter 2016/2017 from 01.12.2016. – 31.03.2017. (except 28.12.2016. – 03.01.2017)

have left a legacy of houses, churches and historical monuments on this island.

Had it not been for the audacious, resilient islanders, used to hard work and misery, Šolta would not have endured the obstacles of the past and preserved its tradition, not just in stone, but in striving to return to its roots.

The island was first mentioned in the 4th century B.C. as Olyntha; with the arrival of Croats, the name was Croatized to Sulet, and in the time of colonization by the Republic of Venice, the name was Romanized to Šolta.

The oldest settlements on the island developed in the highlands in the interior: Grohote (the main settlement on Šolta since antiquity), Donje Selo, Srednje Selo and Gornje Selo.

Here, one can still find true pearls of typical Mediterranean architecture that defy age, a slow conservation process, as well as modern urbanist interventions, which threaten to devastate this indigenous area. The local architectural heritage is an

integral part of the local identity and an unquestionable asset in the area of tourism.

Since forever, Šolta has had ties to Split, which regarded it as property. Since the 14th century, locals of Šolta paid high taxes and various other dues to the nobility of Split. Income from Šolta made up for 60 percent of Split’s expenditures. Only in 1905 did the locals of Šolta manage to buy off the land from Split, which marked the beginning of a new period in the social and economic history of the island. This period, however, was also plagued by mass emigration. The modern man of Šolta rose from all that, striving to renew the best of what the island had to offer.

At 87, Ante Buktenica Peculo is a true example of the persistence and resilience of an islander. He cultivates his own olive groves, vineyards and gardens, makes his own oil, wine, rakija and prosecco.

On the other hand, through its project, Pokret otoka, the Buđenje (Awakening) youth association is making decisive steps forward with education programs and by

02

CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

raising awareness about the necessity of involving the youth in local community development and supporting their strategy about future life on the island.

I have my mission - to leave part of the heritage and wealth bestowed upon us by our ancestors, nature and God for future generations to boast about. These are the words of Dinko Sule of Grohote, a painter, poet, prosaist, and a man who is making strides in preserving the natural, cultural and historic heritage of Šolta.

Nowadays, tourism is the main branch of revenue on Šolta.

The main guideline of the Moja Šolta (My Šolta) Association is that a destination is defined by its people, according to the president of the association, Višnjica Čerić.

- We are part of the Croatia 365 project of the Croatian Tourist Board, and we are working on creating local products, and bringing together all participants in tourism and other related activities via the Map of the Integrated Offer of Šolta.

Tourism on Šolta also includes the production of traditional local products. Šolta now boasts 22 products that are branded as original Croatian products.

One of them is the famous rosemary honey of Šolta. Traditional beekeeping has been nurtured on the Tvrdić Family Farm in Grohote for three generations.

- Our motto is: give bees a chance. We organize presentations in which we familiarize visitors with the traditional process of making honey and other products associated with bees. Also, we are connected with manufacturers from all over the world, says Goran Tvrdić, who has shown that a proper approach and a well-placed story based on tradition can result in good business on the island.

Frane Kaštelanac, whose family has been cultivating olives and producing olive oil in Gornje Selo for four centuries, would agree. The ecological cultivation of olives, modern, oil-making facility, as well as presentations and sales from home have afforded some assurance for the future of Olynthia Natura, the company brand name.

Dobričić, the autochthonous grape, turned into a recognizable brand of Šolta by Tomislav Purtić, is also on a slow but definite path to recovery.

Vicko Buktenica, a naïve painter and successor of the greatest Dalmatian naive painter - Eugen Buktenica Đenko, opened his uncle’s Memorial House and Gallery in Grohote, which have both been proclaimed the centre of Mediterranean naïve art and have become an unavoidable destination on the tourist map of Šolta. With workshops, colonies, exhibitions and humanitarian actions, he strives to pass his love of painting on to others, thus contributing to the preservation of the painting tradition on Šolta.

Here, on the island of Šolta, history is born out of stone and the clanking of rocks; stories are told about man, the land, hard work, and animosities, but also about joy and eternal inspiration. The sound of songs resounds through courtyards and street corners. Vessels seek shelter in the safe bays of Stomorska, Maslinica, Nečujam and Rogač. Nowadays, Šolta is writing some new pages, has a new vision, a  new enthusiasm, for those who are yet to come.

Ukradete li slobodno vrijeme između sastanaka, ili dolazite u posjet nekome tko je stalno na sastancima, ili ste u turističkom posjetu gradu, vjerojatno biste željeli raditi ono što rade pravi Briselci, jer to je zacijelo najbolji način da se upozna grad. Bruxelles je, iako veoma kompleksan u svom sastavu, srdačan i otvoren grad.

If you can steal away between meetings, or if you are visiting someone who is always in a meeting, or you are simply visiting the city as a tourist, you would probably like to do as the locals of Brussels do because that would surely be the best way to get to know the city. Although it has an extremely complex infrastructure, Brussels is a very welcoming and open city.

M

nogima se poznavanje Bruxellesa svodi na detaljni uvid u labirint hodnika Europskog parlamenta, impozantne palače Vijeća ili mnogih, razbacanih zgrada Europske komisije.

Ali, što Briselci rade? Čitaju belgijske stripove i jedu pomfrit pa vafle, pri ruci im je jedno od 1150 registriranih vrsta belgijskog piva, a vani pada kiša? Dio toga možda je čak i istina, makar se pomfrit i vafli uglavnom jedu vani, a ne kod kuće, i premda se posljednjih godina vrijeme ovdje mijenja. Možda je samo

subjektivni osjećaj, ali više je sunčanih i svijetlih dana, kad ovaj grad zablista i može se doživjeti posve drugačije nego što očekujete. Što se tiče pomfrita, najpoznatiji je kiosk tj. fritkot Maison Antoine na Place Jourdan. Onamo ćete zacijelo skrenuti nakon razgledavanja Trga Schuman, gdje su sve glavne palače institucija Europske unije.

Ako ste slučajno smješteni u gospodskoj i skupoj briselskoj četvrti Uccle, odšetajte do Chez Eugene i ondje ćete, preko pomfrita, zagristi u okus starog Bruxellesa. Ili, bolje rečeno, Belgije. Pomfrit je nastao

u davna doba, kad su flamanski gradovi cvali i bili izlog trgovačke i prosperitetne Europe, ali sela su bila kao prokleta siromaštvom i teško se oporavljala od ratova. Seljaci su pekli krumpir, jer ona ih je hrskavost izdaleka podsjećala na meso. Poslije su pržene krumpiriće kušali saveznički vojnici po rovovima i osigurali tome belgijskom proizvodu svjetsku slavu. Dakle, kušajte ih, s tim da ih danas ne umaču - kako stari recept nalaže, prije nego što se bace na tavu - u goveđi loj, nego se bacaju u ulje. Šetnja po fritkotima dobra je za upozna-

vanje grada, jer deset je najboljih kioska s pomfritom raštrkano po gradu. Kušajte i fritkot na trgu Flagey. To je ionako i hype mjesto grada, odlične neformalnosnobovske kombinacije. Taj trg je mjesto gdje se okupljaju umjetnici i sve druge slobodne profesije koji imaju ukus visoke klase, a neredovita primanja, no uvijek se nekako snađu i drže glavu iznad vode, i imaju računala apple.

Na trgu Flagey odlična je koncertna dvorana, gdje gostuju vrhunski umjetnici, najčešće pijanisti, probrana svjetska

klasa, a to nije ni čudno, jer Bruxelles, gdje se održava izbor u sklopu Natjecanja kraljice Paole, jedno je od svjetskih središa klasične glazbe. Dakako, najveći je doživljaj, od kojeg ljubitelje klavirskih koncerata prođu srsi, kad velika Marta Argerich odluči izaći iz svoje duboke privatnosti pred svoju publiku. Vrlo često osjetljiva se umjetnica povuče u posljednji tren, ali kad svira, to su trenutci koji se pamte cijeli život.

Druga velika briselska umjetnica jest Ann Teresa de Keersmaeker, plesačica

i koreografkinja koja vodi avangardnu plesačku skupinu Rosas, pa ako je njihov teatar na reportoaru, nemojte ga zaobići, jer dobit ćete uvid u jedan od slojeva toga kulturom bogatoga grada.

Zamislimo da već sada razgledavate grad, i da ste ušli na glavni gradski trg, Grand place. Kad izvadite telefon za selfie, uhvatite i neku od prekrasno urešenih kuća, jer tako ćete zabilježiti duboku i simboličku europsku povijest.

grad, sravnio je sa zemljom dotadašnji glavni trg i, kako je bio običaj, spalio ga nakon bombardiranja. Jedino je kamena oplata današnje Vijećnice odoljela, no i ona je napola ruševina. U samo četiri godine briselski cehovi i gilde, zanatske i trgovačke udruge, sagradile su ovo čemu se sada divimo. Kad je već bila prilika da se počne ispočetka, onda su dotadašnje kuće s vrtovima i dijelovi natkrivene tržnice zamijenjeni blještavo ukrašenim zgradama. Na tome mjestu doista možemo kontemplirati Europu

koja se rađa iz pepela, kad joj više nitko ne daje šanse. Zamislite koliko je moralo biti statističara koji su izračunali stabilnost zgrada, koliko graditelja, skulptora, zanatlija, poslovođa, koliko se profesija ovdje motalo i kojom se brzinom radilo. U gradskim arhivima piše da su se profesionalci tražili i vrlo skupo plaćali. Rad se isplatio, i to je nosilo novi optimizam.

Svaki nacrt nove zgrade bio je dan na uvid gradskom vijeću, dakle političarima, koji se nisu smatrali najpametnijima, nego su konzultirali umjetnike i ljude od

ukusa uklapaju li se nove zgrade skladno u cjelinu. Cijela četvrt oko Grand place sagrađena je tih godina. Usred, pak, gradskog trga, spaljena su prva dva protestantska heretika u vjerskim ratovima koji su nakon toga desetljećima uništavali Europu, no i to smo preživjeli i oporavili se. Bruxelles je postajao sve važnije trgovačko i industrijsko središte.

Najviše stanovnika Bruxelles je imao sredinom šezdesetih, oko milijun i pol, a nakon toga, što nije bio dobar znak, broj je opadao, jer građani su se, zbog kom-

pleksnih razloga, iseljavali po predgrađu.

Danas ima oko milijun, ali doima se većim, jer dijelovi su grada sagrađeni gotovo imperijalno. Belgija je, zahvaljući trgovini, ali u prvom redu koloniji Kongo, bila izvanredno bogata zemlja. Bruxelles je pak, iako je nedaleko bio neusporedivi Pariz, a nedaleko i jednako tako bogati Amsterdam, iskakao kao mjesto gdje se odvijao neki međunarodni posao, gdje su zastajali i zadržavali se predstavnici stranih država ili vojski.

Bruxelles je izabran za sjedište

tadašanjeg kluba zemalja iz kojega će izrasti današnja Europska unija zbog svoga geografskog položaja. Bio je na dva i pol sata vlakom do Pariza (obične željeznice bile su vrlo brze) - danas je na sat i deset minuta superbrzim Thallysom, na malo više od sat vremena od tadašnjega glavnoga grada Njemačke, Bonna, i otprilike toliko do Amsterdama.

Ni London, koji se doduše priključio europskoj zajednici mnogo kasnije, nije bio veoma daleko, jer veza do Ostendea, odakle je trajekt vozio do Engleske,

također je bila vrlo dobra.

Kad smo kod povijesti i kod politike, potražite na Grand place zgradu s guskom na pročelju. To je La Maison de Cygne, koju je sagradio bivši ceh mesara. Guska, od koje su radili foi gras, bila je njihov zaštitni znak. Poslije je ovdje bio restoran. Potkraj 19. stoljeća tu su nekoliko godina redovito ručavali Karl Marx i Friedrich Englels. Danas se tu nalazi jedan od najboljih briselskih restorana, vrhunske francuske kuhinje, chefa Dmitrija Stassera, koji je u lovu na

Zgrada Berlymont Europske komisije, Trg Schuman The Berlymont building, headquarters of the European Commission, Schuman Square

Michelinovu zvjezdicu što ju je restoran imao pa izgubio.

Kad kažemo Bruxelles, to se najčešće odnosi na Regiju Bruxelles, uz Valoniju i Flandriju, jednu od tri ravnopravne belgijske pokrajine.

Regija Bruxelles sastoji se od 19 općina, a svaka ima svoga gradonačelnika.

Strogo rekavši, ime Bruxelles odnosi se samo na usko središte grada.

Trg Schuman, gdje su Vijeće i Europska komisija, stroži je i formalniji, a u doba službenih sastanaka, policijsko osiguranje

izvanredno strogo. Dio oko Europskog parlamenta ležerniji je.

Pred Parlamentom je trg Luxembourg, popularni Plux, gdje izlaze i zastupnici, i asistenti, i službenici. Iako bi se pomislilo da i ovdje vladaju ukočeni birokratski tipovi, nije tako. Uglavnom se okupljaju mladi ljudi koji stječu radno iskustvo u Parlamentu, a mnoge od njih, svakako ambicioznije, čeka i lijepa budućnost.

Među njih dolaze i lobisti, novinari, predstavnici svih mogućih udruga i biznisa.

Osim uistinu udaljenog Anderlechta, gdje je moderni simbol grada, i simbol nekadašnje vjere u prosperitet, Atomium, sve se može neprimjetno obići pješice.

Napokon, otmjena četvrt velikih muzeja, koncertnih dvorana i galerija, te kraljevske palače, vrlo je blizu. To je dio grada kamo zalaze briselska gospoda i gdje su se oduvijek i zadržavali. Ne znači niti da je taj dio ukočen i dalek, naprotiv, Bruxelles je, iako veoma kompleksan u svom sasta vu, srdačan i otvoren grad.

F

or many people, Brussels is all about the labyrinth of hallways inside the European Parliament, the impressive palaces of the Council, or the numerous, scattered buildings of the European Commission.

But, what do the locals of Brussels do?

Do they read Belgian comics, eat fries and waffles, drink some 1,150 registered types of Belgian beer, and do it all while it’s raining? Part of that may be true, even though fries and waffles are usually eaten out, not at home, and the weather has been changing over the past several years.

It may be a subjective feeling, but there

seems to be sunnier, bright days, when this city truly shines and it can be experienced in ways different than expected.

As regards fries, the most popular is the Maison Antoine fritkot at the Place Jourdan, where one will inevitably end up after a visit to Schuman Square - the location of the main EU institutions. If you happen to have accommodations in the expensive, upper-class neighbourhood of Uccle, make sure to visit Chez Eugene, where you can taste old Brussels and Belgium in general. Fries go back a long way, to a time when Flemish cities flourished as merchant centres of a

prosperous Europe, while villages, on the other hand, were plagued with poverty and had a difficult time recovering from wars.

Peasants baked potatoes in oil because its crunchiness somewhat reminded them of meat. Later on, fries were tasted by allied soldiers in trenches, putting this Belgian product on the fast track to global popularity. Give them a try, however. Nowadays, they are fried in oil, not beef fat like in the old recipe books. A fritkot tour is not a bad way to get to know the city, as ten of the best fry-kiosks are scattered across Brussels. Definitely try the fritkot on Flagey Square. It is the place most hyped-up in

the city, offering an excellent informalsnobbish combination; it’s the gathering spot for artists and other freelancers, with high class taste, but irregular income, who always get by somehow, keep their heads above water, but still manage to own an Apple computer. Flagey Square is also the location of an excellent concert hall that is often host to top class musicians, mostly globally-renowned pianists, which isn’t surprising because Brussels - host to the Queen Paola Competition, is one of the world’s capitals of classical music.

88 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

The greatest experience, which causes goose bumps in fans of piano concerts, however, is when the great Marta Argerich decides to emerge from her private cave and make an appearance for her fans.

The sensitive artist, oftentimes, cancels at the last minute, but when she performs, they are moments to remember. Another major artist from Brussels is Ann Teresa de Keersmaeker, dancer and choreographer, who heads the avant-garde dance group, Rosas. So, if their theatre company is in the repertoire, make sure to visit and gain

insight into another cultural layer of the city.

Let’s imagine you are already sightseeing in the city, and you have entered the main city square, the Grand Place. When you take your phone out to take a selfie, make sure to catch some of the beautifully-decorated houses in the background, and capture the deep and symbolic history of Europe.

In 1695, when Duke Villeroy and his army arrived in front of this merchant city, they levelled the main square, bombing and burning it, as was routine at the time. Only the stone shell of the contemporary City

Fontana na Mont des Arts Fountain at Mont des Arts

Council remained. In only four years, the guilds and trade unions rebuilt what we admire today. Since they had an opportunity to start over, houses with gardens, as well as parts of the covered market, were replaced by prominently decorated buildings. We can truly imagine Europe being reborn from the ashes, after no one gave it another chance. Just imagine how many structural engineers calculating the stability of buildings were needed; builders, sculptors, craftsmen, foremen and other workers must have been present there, all at once,

in order to build at such a fast pace. The city archives state that professionals were highly sought after and well-paid. The work paid off, and this introduced new optimism.

Each new building design was submitted for approval to the City Council, to politicians who, knowing they were out of their element, consulted artists and people with taste in order to make sure that the new buildings fit in with the surroundings. The entire neighbourhood around the Grand Place was built in those years. In the middle of the city square, however, the first two

protestant heretics were burned during religious wars, which devastated Europe over the following decades. Europe, however, survived from that, and fully-recovered once again. Brussels had become an increasingly important trade and industrial hub. The city had the largest population in the mid 1960’s, around a million and a half, but the number has dwindled since, mostly due to citizens moving to the suburbs for various complex reasons. The city, nowadays, numbers around a million inhabitants, but it certainly seems bigger, because parts of

the city have been built up in an imperial style. Belgium has been a very rich country thanks to trade, but also very much thanks to its colony - the Congo. Although in the vicinity of incomparable Paris, and equallyrich Amsterdam, Brussels has always stood out as a place of international business and a destination for representatives of foreign states and armies. Brussels was chosen as the headquarters for the club of countries that were to form the modern day EU, mostly due to its geographic position. It was two and a half hours away from

90 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

Paris by train (regular railways were very fast); today, it is connected by a superfast Thalys train and only an hour and ten minutes away), just over an hour away from the onetime capital of Germany - Bonn, and approximately the same distance from Amsterdam. Even London, which joined the EU much later, wasn’t far away because the connection with Oostende, and ferries regularly crossing to England, was also very good. Speaking of history and politics, look for a building located at the Grand Place, with a goose on its façade. This is

La Maison de Cygne, built by the former butchers’ guild. The goose, which foi gras is made from, was their trademark. Later on, the building housed a restaurant. In the late 19th century, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were regular lunch customers for several years. Nowadays, it is the location of one of the best restaurants in Brussels, offering top French cuisine, owned by Chef Dmitri Stasser, and a Michelin Star hopeful.

The restaurant already had it once, but lost it. When we speak of Brussels, we mostly mean the entire region of Brussels, one of

Saint Gilles

three equal Belgian regions that also include Wallonia and Flanders. The Brussels region consists of 19 counties, each with their own mayor. Strictly speaking, however, Brussels is just the city centre.

Schuman Square, the location of the Council and the European Commission, is stricter and more formal, and police security is very tight during official meetings. The area around the European Parliament is more relaxed.

In front of the Parliament is the Luxembourg Square, popularly known as the

Plux, a popular place among representatives, assistants and clerks alike. Although one might think the place is packed with stiff, bureaucratic types, that is not the case. It is mostly a gathering place for young people getting work experience at the Parliament, and many of them, especially the ambitious ones, have a bright future to look forward to. They are joined by lobbyists, journalists, and representatives from various associations and businesses.

Apart from the more distant Anderlecht, where Atomium, the contemporary symbol

of the city and its faith in prosperity is located, everything in the city is within walking distance.

A fancy neighbourhood comprised of large museums, concert halls and galleries is not far off.

It is the part of town reserved for the upper class of Brussels, and it has always been like that. It does not mean that this part of the city is uptight; on the contrary… Brussels is very complex in its structure, but a  very welcoming and open city.

Jedna od najposjećenijih zagrebačkih gornjogradskih ulica, u kojoj se često istodobno zateknu po dvije, tri skupine turista, svakako je Ulica sv. Ćirila i Metoda, koja povezuje Markov trg s kulom Lotrščak i panoramskim vidikovcem kod poznate uspinjače. U Ćirilometodskoj ulici nalazi se i danas katolička crkva posvećena Svetoj braći Ćirilu i Metodu, koji su zaštitnici Europe.

One of the bussiest streets in the Zagreb Upper Town, where one can often come across two or three groups of tourists at the same time, is certainly St. Cyril and Methodius Street which connects St. Mark’s Square with Lotršćak Tower and the vantage point next to the famous funicular. The church consecrated to the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, who have been declared Co-patrons of Europe, still has its address in St. Cyril and Methodius Street.

I

ako je crkva katolička, dakle ima istu hijerarhiju s papom na čelu, isti moral i isti temeljni vjerski nauk, grkokatolička se crkva na zagrebačkom Gornjem gradu razlikuje izgledom i obredom od onih u kojima se mise slave po rimskom obredu.

Malo je znano da Katolička Crkva, a catolicos znači sveopći, univerzalan, štuje i njeguje dvadeset i dva ravnopravna obreda, a jedan od njih jest i bizantski obred.

Grkokatolička liturgija jest liturgija pjesničkog izričaja i mistične duhovnosti, za razliku od mise po rimskom obredu, koja se po strukturi i molitvama nekako više obraća razumu. Upravo zbog toga i katolici rimskog obreda dolaze u tu crkvu na svetu liturgiju jer mogu se ispovijediti i pričestiti, a kako liturgija zvuči, možete i čuti na adresi: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=on_dOiHzItM. Upravo manjinski obred podsjeća na raznolikost i ljepotu univerzalnog katoličanstva koje nije

vezano uz kategoriju nacionalnosti nego vjeroispovijesti.

Kad u nedjeljna jutra počnu zvoniti zvona kršćanskih crkava u Zagrebu, pozivaju kršćane na bogoslužje u čijem je središtu Isus: njegov život, smrt i uskrsnuće. Naraštaji vjernika svjedoče tada o pozivu što im ga je uputio Bog i o Božjoj ljubavi koju su iskusili. Pa kad dolaze na misu, tad se Bogu obraćaju pjesmama hvale i slave i upućuju molitve za uslišanje. Crkva naučava da gdje su dvojica ili trojica sabrana u moje ime, tu sam i ja među njima (Matej 18,20). Za kršćanske vjernike zvonjava je najava skorog okupljanja župljana. Ćiril je monaško ime Konstantina, koji je poznat po tome što je svete knjige s latinskoga i grčkoga prevodio uz bratovu pomoć na staroslavenski jezik i za tu je svrhu izumio i novu abecedu zvanu glagoljica. Kao i mnogi sveci tog doba, braća su ostavila sjaj dvora, gladni Boga, zaredili

se i odlazili u razne krajeve naviještati Riječ Božju, a time i spasenje. Njihov rad i život oduvijek je cijenio osobito papa Ivan Pavao II. pa ih je Apostolskim pismom Egregiae virtutis od 31. prosinca 1980. godine proglasio suzaštitnicima Europe.

Za vrijeme svete liturgije izmjenjuje se ljepota staroslavenskoga i hrvatskog jezika.

Voskliknite Gospodevi, vdja zemlja, pojte že imeni jego, dadite slavu hvalje jego, tekst je prve antifone (pripjevne pjesme) čiji prijevod glasi: Sva zemlja neka pjeva Gospodu, pjevajte Imenu njegovu, dajte hvalu slavi njegovoj! Nedjeljom se, osim u Velikom postu, služi liturgija sv. Ivana Zlatoustoga, rođenoga u Antiohiji oko 345. godine. Nadimak Zlatousti - Krizostom dobio je zbog svoje iznimne rječitosti i divnih propovijedi po kojima je ostao zapamćen. Zaštitnik je propovjednika i prognanika, a najpoznatije propovijedi one su o svećenstvu, kao i ulomak koji slijedi: Krist je sa mnom, koga da se bojim? Pa uzdigli se protiv mene i valovi, i mora, i bijes prvaka, sve je to za mene slabije od paučine. I da me nije zadržala vaša ljubav, ni danas ne bih bio odbio da otputujem drugamo. Uvijek naime kažem: Gospodine, budi volja tvoja, da činim što hoćeš ti, a ne što hoće ovaj ili onaj. To je moja utvrda, nepomična stijena i štap koji se ne savija.

Ako to Bog hoće, neka bude. Ako želi da ostanem ovdje, zahvaljujem mu. Gdje god bude htio, iskazujem mu hvalu.

A najbolji i dostojni nastavljač vrsnog govorništva i uvjerljivog navještanja u tradiciji Ivana Zlatoustog u Hrvatskoj bio je grkokatolički svećenik don Ante Živko Kustić (1930. - 2014.). Zauzimao se bezrezervno za ekumenizam, a često je tvrdio da

hrvatstvo nije rezervat katolika, da jednako tako dobar može biti i musliman, evangelik i ateist, ali da je važno da je čovjek.

No tko su zapravo katolici bizantskog obreda? Grkokatolici su nositelji istočnog kršćanstva. U Hrvatskoj ih je najviše u Žumberku, kao i ostalim gradovima okoli-

ce: Karlovcu, Samoboru i Jastrebarskom.

Odnos rimokatolika i grkokatolika slikovito je opisao don Živko Kustić napisavši da je to ista katolička crkva u dva različita izvanjska oblika; to je kao dvije narodne nošnje, dvije različite pjesme ili dva različita kola u istom narodu. Povijest ove grane

kršćanstva piše se od 16. stoljeća kad u Hrvatsku dolazi veća skupina uskoka. Budući da se broj grkokatoličkih vjernika u Zagrebu stalno povećavao, to se od sebe nametala potreba za gradnjom posebne crkve, jer sjemenišna kapela postala je premalena za vjernike i neprikladna za

Nedjelja na zagrebačkome Gornjem gradu tako je rezervirana za vjernike i skupine turista. Većina je zgrada spomenički zaštićena i svjedoči o prolaznosti života mnogih i mnogih generacija i tako podučava smjernosti, strahopoštovanju i pomalo  zaboravljenome Memento mori.

slavljenje javnog bogoslužja.

Tako je godine 1828. uza sjemenište dograđena crkva sv. Bazilija Velikoga.

Godine 1885. križevački biskup Ilija Hranilović dao je po nacrtu arhitekta Hermana Bolléa tu crkvu produljiti i sagraditi zvonik, a crkvu posvetiti sv. Ćirilu i Metodu. Ćirilometodska se ulica do 1935. godine zvala Gospodska ulica, a kad je crkva dobila naslov konkatedrale, ulica dobiva ime po slavenskim apostolima Ćirilu i Metodu, koji su živjeli u 9. st., a danas su suzaštitnici Europe. Na pročelju crkve ističu se mozaici sv. Ćirila i Metoda i sv. Petra i Pavla. Ikone na ikonostasu oslikao je znameniti ikonograf E. A. Bučevski. Poslije su na zidove crkvene lađe stavljene tri velike slike akademskog slikara Ivana Tišova (Rođenja Kristova, Uskrsnuća i Posljednjeg suda). Crkva je potpuno obnovljena za vrijeme župnikovanja Nikole Kekića, sadašnjega biskupa, a župu je nedavno preuzeo mladi otac Danijel Hranilović, podrijetlom sa Žumberka. Iako vjernici žive na teritoriju cijeloga grada, crkva je nedjeljom lijepo popunjena. Prevladavaju stariji, gotovo podjednako muškarci i žene, ali ima i mladih i djece. Nije lako uvijek doći, primjerice, s Borongaja na Gornji grad, ali nastoji se očuvati tradicija i vjera otaca, kazuje mladi otac na uobičajenom druženju nakon svete liturgije nedjeljom. Muški zbor pjeva druge nedjelje u mjesecu na liturgiji u 10,30 sati, a mješoviti sastav zadnje nedjelje u mjesecu u isto vrijeme. Budući da ove godine proslavljaju 85. godišnji-

lthough the Greek Catholic Church in the Zagreb Upper Town church is catholic, meaning that it respects the hierarchy headed by the Pope and that it shares the same fundamental moral teaching of the Catholic Church, it differs from those where the liturgy is celebrated according to the Roman Rite in appearance and the form of the rite it follows. It is not common knowledge within the Catholic Church that the word catolicos means universal, and that there are as many as 22 equal liturgy rites. One of them is the Byzantine Rite.

It is a liturgy of poetic expression and mystic spirituality, unlike the Roman Catholic Mass, whose structure and prayers are more appealing to common sense. This is why Roman Catholics choose to come to this church for the Divine Liturgy; they can confess and receive Communion. To hear what the liturgy sounds like, go to https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=on_dOiHzItM. Minority rites are a reminder of the variety and beauty of the universal catholic faith, which is not tied to the category of nationality, but rather to denomination.

When the bells of the Christian churches in Zagreb start ringing on a Sunday morning, they invite Christians to come to church to celebrate Jesus: his life, death and resurrection. Generations of believers testify to the call of God and God’s love as they have experienced it. During service, they worship God with songs of praise and glory, and send him their prayers to be heard. This is what we find in Church teaching: for where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them (Mathew 18:20). For Christian believers, the ringing of a church bell heralds an imminent gathering of faithful parishioners.

Cyril is the monastic name of Constantin, who became famous for having translated sacred books from Latin and Greek into Old Slavonic with the help of his brother.

In order to be able to do that, he invented

a new script called Glagolitic. Like many saints of that time, the brothers forsook the glamour of the court to worship God; they took vows and roamed the world to prophesy God’s Word and salvation. Assigning great value to their work and life, Pope John Paul II issued the Egregiae virtutis Apostolic Letter on December 31st 1980, whereby he proclaimed them co-patrons of Europe. The beautiful words of Old Slavonic and Croatian are used in turn during the Divine Liturgy. Voskliknite Gospodevi, vdja zemlja, pojte že imeni jego, dadite slavu hvalje jego, a verse sung in the first antiphon translates into: Shout with joy to God, all the earth; sing to His Name; give glory to His praises.

Barring the period of Fast, the liturgy served on Sundays is the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. He was born in Antioch circa 345. He owes his nickname, Chrysostom, the Golden-mouthed, to his remarkable volubility and beautiful sermons for which he is most famous. He is the patron saint of preachers and expelled people, and his most well-known sermons about priesthood include the following passage: If Christ is with me, who shall I fear?

Though the waves and the sea and the anger of princes roused against me, they are less to me than a spider’s web. Indeed, unless you, my brothers, had detained me, I would have left this very day. For I always say: Lord, your will be done, not for this fellow or that would have me do, but what you want me to do. That is my strong tower, my immovable block, my staff that never gives way. If God wants something,

let it be done! If he wants me to stay here, I am grateful. But wherever he wants me to be, I am no less grateful.

In Croatia, the best and the most worthy continuator following in the tradition of his excellent oratory skills and persuasive teaching, was Greek Catholic Priest Ante Živko Kustić (1930 - 2014). He was a fervent advocate of ecumenism and he often claimed that Croatdom was not a Catholic reserve, that a Muslim, Evangelist or an atheist could be an equally-good, and that the most important thing was their humanity.

But who are actually the Catholics of Byzantine Rite? Greek Catholics are the custodians of Eastern Christianity. In Croatia, most of them live in Žumberak and in neighboring cities: Karlovac, Samobor and Jastrebarsko. Don Živko Kustić has described the relationship between Roman and Greek Catholics in a very colorful way stating that this is the same Catholic Church in two different external forms; the two are like two folk costumes, two different songs or two different dances practiced by the same nation.

The history of these two branches of Christianity goes back to the 16th century when a big group of Uskoks (soldiers) arrived in Croatia. As the number of Greek Catholic worshippers continued to grow in Zagreb, a need arose to build a special church when the seminary chapel became too small and unfit for public services. Thus, in 1828, the Church of St. Basil the Great was built next to the seminary.

In 1885, the Bishop of Križevci commissioned Architect Herman Bollé to make a design for an extension and a belfry and consecrated the church to St. Cyril and Methodius. Up until 1935, the name of the Ćirilometodska was Gospodska (Noble Street). When the church was declared a co-cathedral, the street was renamed after the Slavic apostles, Cyril and Methodius, who had lived in the 9th century and who have since been declared co-patrons of Europe.

The church façade depicts mosaics of St. Cyril and Methodius and St. Peter and Paul. The icons on the iconostasis were painted by famous Iconographer E. A. Bučevski. Subsequently, three

large paintings by Ivan Tišov were mounted on the walls of the church nave: The Birth of Christ, Resurrection and The Last Judgement. The church was completely renovated during the ministry of Nikola Kekić, the current bishop, while the diocese has only recently been taken over by a young father named Danijel Hranilović, a native of Žumberak. Although worshippers are scattered all over the city, the turnout for both Sunday liturgies is quite impressive.

Most of the churchgoers are older men and women in nearly equal numbers, but there are also youngsters and children. It is not always easy to make it to service, i.e., from Borongaj to the Upper Town, but the desire to preserve tradition and the faith of the fathers prevails, said the young father during the customary get-together after the Divine Liturgy on Sunday. The male choir sings on the second Sunday of the month during the 10:30 liturgy, while the mixed choir sings on the last Sunday of the month at the same time. Since they are celebrating their 85th anniversary this year, they will be releasing a compact disc featuring songs which bring appeasement to the soul, comfort to the heart and overall hope.

Sundays are reserved for churchgoers and groups of tourists. Government buildings, the Parliament and the Supreme Court are empty on Sundays and the conspicuous absence of people in business suits makes a Sunday in the uper Town somehow detached from everyday life and so much more dignified.

Most of these old buildings are protected.

Having seen many generations come and go, they testify to the transience of life and thus, teach us about humility, awe and the  somewhat forgotten Memento Mori.

Filip Merčep, marimbist Neumorni putnik A relentless traveler Piše/By _ Zlatko Madžar Fotografije/Photos _ Branko Hrkač

D

vadesetpetogodišnji hrvatski glazbenik Filip Merčep, svestrani udaraljkaš i poglavito briljantan marimbist, zarana je počeo graditi - sada već i respektabilnu! - međunarodnu karijeru. Njegova neupitna glazbenička karizma temelji se na osebujnu spoju goleme energije i izvanredne samokontrole, sviračke perfekcije i improvizacijske maštovitosti, visoke profesionalnosti i mladenačke otkvačenosti… S neumornim europskim putnikom Filipom kratko smo porazgovarali uoči njegove prve sjevernoameričke turneje.

Brojne koncertne obveze vode Vas diljem svijeta. Jesu li ta stalna putovanja samo profesionalna nužda ili Vas ona, već po sebi, istinski vesele?

- Putovanja i nastupe diljem svijeta zapravo smatram najboljom kombinacijom.

Nove sredine i krajolici djeluju motivirajuće i pobuđuju novu kreativnu energiju, a to se onda i čuje na mojim koncertnim nastupima. Sa sjajnim Marimba kvartetom Katarzyne Myćke, koji je stacioniran u Njemačkoj, upravo se pripremam za prvo gostovanje u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, kamo smo pozvani na prestižni udaraljkaški skup na kojemu će se - u organizaciji Percussion Art Society International Convention - u Indianapolisu okupiti najbolji solisti i ansambli iz cijeloga svijeta. Iskazana mi je osobita čast da ondje koncertno predstavim vibrafon OneVibe, kako je nazvan novi instrument tvrtke MarimbaOne, na čijim glazbalima i sviramo u našem njemačkom ansamblu.

Osim nastupa u Indianapolisu, očekuje nas i kraća turneja po Istočnoj obali te u središnjoj Americi, a ja ću održati i soli-

stički koncert na Univerzitetu za glazbu u Miamiju, gdje ću predstaviti svoje novo autorsko djelo, koje je nastalo kao rezultat četverogodišnje potrage za vlastitim umjetničkim identitetom.

Vaši su roditelji i stariji brat profesionalni glazbenici, što uvelike objašnjava i Vaš generalni odabir životnog poziva.

No zašto ste odlučili biti baš udaraljkaš, koji na koncertnoj sceni - uz današnju veliku konkurenciju - jedino može opstati ako podjednako dobro vlada nekolicinom poprilično različitih udaraljkaških glazbala?

- Moj godinu i pol dana stariji brat Lovro

zarana se odlučio baviti glazbom, koja je - zahvaljujući njemu - i mene počela malo-pomalo zaokupljati. Majka i otac zdušno su nas poticali da se predano bavimo i raznoraznim izvannastavnim aktivnostima jer, kao profesionalni muzičari, oni su itekako dobro znali kako je teško uspjeti na glazbenoj sceni. No upravo na primjeru naših roditelja, Lovro i ja zarana smo se uvjerili da je život profesionalnih glazbenika zapravo prekrasan, i to je bilo odlučujuće.

U glazbenoj školi počeli ste učiti svirati na klaviru, a tek su zatim na red došle i udaraljke, zar ne?

udaraljke i elektroniku, koju smo ljetos praizveli na Osorskim glazbenim večerima. Kad bih vam pak želio predočiti sve nove glazbene zamisli koje mi se sada roje u glavi - e za to bi nam bilo potrebno sve vrijeme podužega međukontinentalnog leta, recimo, u Sjedinjene Američke  Države!

ilip Merčep, a 25-year-old Croatian musician, versatile percussionist and, primarily, a brilliant marimbist, started to build his - now impressive - international career early on. His unquestionable musical charisma rests on a distinct blend of vast energy and extraordinary self-control, technical perfection and spontaneous creativity, a high degree of professionalism and youthful quirkiness… We briefly spoke to Filip, who is a tireless traveler around Europe, on the eve of his first tour of North America.

U Filipovom domu stalno je svirala klasična glazba. Kao dijete najprije je zavolio Ravelov Bolero i neprekinuti solo malog bubnja.

Classical music was played in Filip´s home all the time. As a kid, he first came to love Ravel’s Bolero and the incessant solo of the small drum.

- U našem domu stalno je svirala klasična glazba. Kao klinac najprije sam zavolio Ravelov Bolero, u kojemu je moju pozornost najviše zaokupljao neprekinuti solo malog bubnja. Unatoč tomu, u glazbenoj sam školi počeo učiti svirati na klaviru, a onda sam kao desetogodišnjak iznenada odlučio da ću se baviti judom. Nakon brončane medalje u judu, osvojene na Državnom prvenstvu Hrvatske, napokon sam odlučio da pokušam spojiti ono što je naizgled nespojivo - udaranje i glazbu.

Tako sam se definitivno priklonio udaraljkama, koje su i bile moja prva glazbena ljubav.

Osim solističkih nastupa, kako onih posve samostalnih tako i onih uz orkestar, vrlo često nastupate i u raznim hrvatskim i inozemnim udaraljkaškim ansamblima. Na kojim sve projektima sada radite?

- Sada sam zaokupljen poprilično različitim projektima. U Marimba kvartetu svjetski glasovite poljske marimbistice Katarzyne Myćke izvodimo mnoštvo skladbi koje su ciljano napisane baš za takav sastav, ali povremeno radimo i iskorake, pa tako, primjerice, sada često - zajedno s naratorom - izvodimo našu marimbističku verziju Saint-Saënsova Karnevala životinja. Tim projektom naš predivni instrument želimo približiti djeci, čak i onoj najmlađoj. Posve drugačiji i mnogo ležerniji repertoar izvodim pak sa sedmoricom vrsnih sviračkih kolega u SUDAR Percussion Ensambleu, koji je glazbena kritičarka Irena Paulus proglasila najotkvačenijom grupom muzičara na ovim hrvatskim prostorima. Odlučili smo načiniti svoje aranžmane nekoliko skladbi Jean-Michela Jarrea, pionira elektroničke glazbe. Nekoliko njegovih skladbi uživo smo snimili u prestižnom RSL studiju, a njegovu smo skladbu Oxygen IV objavili u obliku spota. Na scenski atraktivnim nastupima ansambla SUDAR publika se, ponesena našom energijom ali i našim aranžmanima, često podiže na noge. U novije vrijeme sve više osjećam potrebu da se kao glazbenik počnem izražavati i na autorskoj razini. Upravo sam se stoga, u kreativnom zajedništvu s dragim prijateljem Nicolasom Sinkovićem, počeo baviti i elektroničkom glazbom. Naš prvi rad bila je koautorska skladba Dijalog - za

You have made numerous concert appearances around the world; are these constant travels - in your case merely a professional necessity, or do they bring you true pleasure in and of themselves?

- I believe that travelling while performing around the world is the best combination; a new environment and diverse landscapes are motivating and stir up creative energy, and this transpires at my concerts as well.

I am currently preparing for my first guest performance with Katarzyna Myćka’s amazing Germany-based Marimba Quartet in the United States, where we have been invited to a prestigious percussionist convention, organized by the Percussion Art Society International Convention, which is set to bring together the best soloists and ensembles from around the world in Indianapolis. I was given the special honor of promoting the vibraphone, OneVibe, during the concert. This is the name of the new instrument manufactured by MarimbaOne, whose instruments we use in the German ensemble. In addition to the Indianapolis performance, we also have a short tour of the East Coast and Central America ahead of us, and I will be giving a solo concert at the Music University in Miami, where I will be presenting my new work, which came out of a four-year pursuit for my own artistic identity.

Your parents and your older brother are professional musicians, which largely

As a kid, I first came to love Ravel’s Bolero, which captured my attention, mostly it was the incessant solo of the small drum. Despite this, I started learning to play the piano at music school, and then, as a 10-year-old, I suddenly decided to pursue judo! After winning a bronze medal in judo at the Croatian State Championships, I finally decided to merge two seemingly disparate things - hitting stuff and music! Thus, I chose to play percussion instruments, which were, in any case, my first love in music.

In addition to solo performances, both the ones where you perform completely alone and the ones where you are a soloist accompanied by an orchestra, you frequently perform as a member of different percussionist ensembles, some Croatian, some international. Which projects are you currently working on?

pattern occasionally. So for example, we now often perform our marimba version of Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals together with a narrator; through this project, we aim to familiarize the children, even the young ones, with our beautiful instrument.

It is a completely different and much more laid-back repertoire that I perform with seven of my accomplished musician friends in the SUDAR Percussion Ensemble, which Music Critic Irena Paulus described as the quirkiest group of musicians in Croatia. We decided to make our own arrangements of several pieces by Jean-Michel Jarre, the pioneer of electronic music. We have recorded several of his compositions at the prestigious RSL Studio, and we published his piece Oxygen IV as a music video. During SUDAR Ensemble performances, which are very attractively-staged, the audience, enthralled by our energy, but also by our musical arrangements, often stands up.

explains your choice of vocation, but how did you decide to be a percussionist who is able to survive on the concert scene, given today’s intense competition, not having mastered several percussion instruments, which are quite different from each other?

- My brother Lovro, who is a year and a half older than me, decided to go into music early on. Thanks to him, music started to captivate me too, little by little. Our mother and father enthusiastically encouraged us to pursue diverse extracurricular activities with commitment since - being professional musicians - they knew all too well how difficult it would be to succeed in the music business. So, the example of our parents helped Lovro and I realize early on that the life of a professional musician was beautiful, and this was the deciding factor.

Filipova neupitna glazbenička karizma temelji se na osebujnu spoju sviračke perfekcije i improvizacijske maštovitosti, visoke profesionalnosti i mladenačke otkvačenosti…

Filip`s unquestionable musical charisma rests on a distinct blend of rests on distinct bend of technical perfection and spontaneous creativity, a high degree of professionalism and youthful quirkiness…

I have felt an increasing need recently to express myself as a composer. This is why, in creative collaboration with my dear friend Nicolas Sinković, I have started to pursue electronic music. Our first work together was the piece that we co-wrote, A Dialogue - for Percussion and Electronic Instruments, performed for the first time this summer at the Osor Musical Evenings event, within our multi-media designed concert project, which took place at several locations in Osor. If I wanted to inform you of all the new musical ideas currently dancing around in my head, well, it would take as long as an intercontinental flight to the  United States!

Kompanija Borovo preživjela je turbulentna vremena i sada je jedan od hit brendova u Hrvatskoj: 85 uspješnih godina Borovo je proslavilo izložbom Povijest cipele u zagrebačkoj Laubi.

- Borovo je ove godine obilježilo punih 85 godina otkako je proizveden prvi par obuće. Tom smo prigodom ovu izložbu otvorili u Gradskome muzeju Vukovar, a u studenome, koji je postao simbolom stradanja i obrane Hrvatske, imamo potrebu govoriti o našem Borovu, ne samo zbog kontinuiranoga upornoga i mukotrpnog rada, nego zbog toga što su upravo Borovo i njegovi djelatnici imali veliku ulogu u obrani Vukovara i Hrvatske - istaknuo je predsjednik Uprave Borovo d.d. Gordan Kolundžić.

Na izložbi vidjeli smo zbivanja koja počinju davne 2800. godine prije Krista, s početaka vučedolske kulture koja je ilustrirana svima poznatom vučedolskom čizmicom.

U početku 20. stoljeća pojavljuje se obuća kakvu poznajemo danas. Tada počinje i

Borovo celebrates 85 years of success. The Borovo shoe manufacturer has survived some turbulent times and is now considered one of Croatia’s leading brands. 2016 marks the 85th year since the Borovo company manufactured its first pair of shoes. To commemorate the landmark moment, a History of Shoes exhibition was held at the Lauba Art Gallery in Zagreb.

In honour of the occasion, we opened an exhibition at the Vukovar City Museum in November. A symbol of Croatian suffering and national defence, Borovo needed a voice, not because of the 85 years of painstaking hardwork it had put in, but because the company and its employees played a huge role in the defence of Vukovar and Croatia itself, stressed President of Brorovo’s Management Board Gordan Kolundžič.

The exhibition showcased displays dating back to 2800 BC, just as the Vučedol Culture began. An illustration of this was the famous Vučedol boot exhibit. At the beginning of the 20th century, footwear as we know it today started to appear on the market. It was then that the story of Borovo began, the story of rubber boots, galoshes, and leather sandals.

Hrvatska umjetnička scena obiluje autorima koji rade malo drugačiji dizajn: jedan je od njih Vedran Kirin, koji je nedavno predstavio novu kolekciju Cabinet.K ukrasnih tanjura. Stakleni unikati dotjerani su decoupage tehnikom i printevima koje je autor iscrtao na listovima starih enciklopedija. U svakome motivu može se pročitati neka poruka, preko slike ili natpisa na tanjuru, a prevladavaju emocije i ljubav - objasnio je Vedran. Kao što vidite, njegova je inspiracija - ljudska anatomija. Pomalo mračnu i hladnu temu Vedran je raznježio porukama i motivima ljubavi, no to nipošto ne djeluje prekičasto, nego upravo suprotno, moderan dizajn idealan je za ukrašavanje zidova ili čak svakodnevno korištenje. Njegovi unikatni ručno rađeni tanjuri oduševili su mnoge zaljubljenike u posebne dizajnerske komade, a dio ponude otputovao je u Argentinu. Vedran je prije desetak godina među prvima na našim prostorima otvorio dućan s retro i vintage dekoracijama, a svoj je rad nastavio brojnim umjetničkim projektima, koji završavaju i izvan granica Hrvatske.

The Croatian art scene is abundant with designers who are a little different in their design aesthetic. One such artist is Vedran Kirin who has recently rolled out his new Cabinet.K Collection of decorative plates.

The glass items are made using a decoupage technique and prints which the designer drew on the pages of an old encyclopedia. Every motif, be it a written message across an image or just background writing on a plate, abounds with feeling and

love, explains Vedran. From his artwork, it is apparent that his inspiration is the human anatomy. Although his images portray a cold darkness, they are softened by the motifs and messages of love, which in no way come across as being overly-kitschy.

In fact, the opposite is true. The artwork’s modern design is ideal for decorating walls and is crafted for daily use. His unique, hand-made plates have thrilled lovers of specialty-design decor, and one offer from a client even led him to Argentina.

Ten years ago, Vedran was the first on the Croatian design front to open a store and sell retro and vintage decor. Nowadays, his work continues through various artistic projects, some of which have taken him abroad.

Nedavno je zagrebački stari dio grada dobio još jednu atraktivnu lokaciju, ne samo za turiste, nego i za domaće, na kojoj je do sada održano nekoliko modnih revija i predstavljanja: obnovljen je tunel Grič koji spaja Mesničku i Radićevu ulicu.

Zbog spoja umjetničke instalacije, prigodnog uređenja prostora, videoprojekcija i bogatoga glazbenog programa prostor tunela u ovome razdoblju posebno je mjesto u inače bogatom programu Adventa u Zagrebu 2016. godine.

Not long ago, the old part of town got yet another must-see attraction, but it’s not just for tourists. Lately, the locals have been flocking to this recently-renovated venue, located between Mesnička and Radićeva Street, to put on fashion shows and other promotional events.

Art installations, functional interior design elements, video projections, and a varied musical program add to the festive atmosphere

Riječki karneval

Arhiva Karnevala Rijeka

The Rijeka Carnival

Piše/By _ Dubravka Prpić Znaor 01

Dok svi žive godinu s četiri, Rijeka je, kradući zimi, stvorila svoje i jedinstveno peto godišnje doba. Ime mu je Karneval. A karneval se u Rijeci oduvijek piše velikim slovom i živi svim srcem.

Počinje 17. siječnja, na blagdan sv.

Antuna ili, kako bi to ovdašnji puk kazao, na Antonju. Dan velike Međunarodne karnevalske povorke, 26. veljače 2017. godine, sublimacija je svega što joj je tijekom petoga godišnjeg doba prethodilo.

Defile je to riječke maškarane posebnosti koja se temelji na tradiciji. U svakom šavu prekrasnih kostima, u svakom vijku alegorijskih kola, u svakoj gradskoj ili prigradskoj karnevalskoj grupi, živi ta maškarana riječka posebnost.

Na kraju prikaza, ostaje samo poziv: Budi što želiš! Dođi na Riječki karneval!

a capital C. It’s yet another event to be celebrated to the fullest.

The Carnival opens January 17th, 2017, on the Feast of Saint Anthony, or what the locals refer to simply as Anthony’s Day and closes with the International Carnival Parade on February 26th, 2017, which is an accumulation of the preceding month’s fifth-season festivities.

Masked processions and special marching bands are part of the Carnival’s tradition.

The streets come alive with beautifullyadorned costumes, allegorical floats, and groups of masquerading revellers. Both city folk and suburbanites alike turn out for the special occasion. The festive ambience of the town calls to them: Dress up or come as you are to the Rijeka Carnival!

While most people get to live through only four seasons, Rijeka citizens, stealing temporally from the winter, get to experience a fifth season - a unique time of year called the Carnival. And that’s Carnival with

Also, due to its network of highways and semi-motorways, Croatia is closer than ever.

elovnik poslovnog razreda lice je svake zrakoplovne kompanije. Imajući to na umu, pokrenuli smo projekt Inspirirani Hrvatskom (engl.Inspired by Croatia), u sklopu kojega je kreiran i novi meni našega poslovnog razreda. Najbolji način za predstavljanje hrvatskih delicija jest korištenje autohtonih namirnica i recepata.

A kada smo se odlučili za taj put, logičan nam je izbor suradnika na jelovniku bio splitski Uje oil bar, koji se koristi isključivo lokalnim namirnicama i prezentira ih prema tradicionalnoj recepturi.

S njima je na meniju surađivao i proslavljeni hrvatski chef Dino Galvagno, čija je misija upotrijebiti namirnice uzgojene, ulovljene ili ubrane u lokalnom okružju.

Jela koja predstavljamo osvježene su verzije autohtonih recepata primorske i kontinentalne Hrvatske.

Dino Galvagno i Leopold Botteri, vlasnik Uje oil bara, na jelovniku su radili nekoliko mjeseci analizirajući ponudu drugih zrakoplovih kompanija i dostupna iskustva svjetskih chefova, koji su već locirali određene namirnice i okuse što su ukusniji u zrakoplovu.

Tom iskustvu pridodali su i rezultate vlastitih testiranja, istih obroka začinjenih različitim intenzitetom i pripremljenih na različite načine, u realnom okružju na visini krstarenja.

Rezultat višemjesečnog rada jest jelovnik u kojemu mogu uživati putnici poslovnog razreda. Na meniju je nekoliko uspješnica iz Uje oil bara, oplemenjenih namirnicama bogatima umamijem, ali i jela koja je Dino Galvagno kreirao posebno za ovu prigodu.

Svoj revival na ovom će meniju doživjeti i nekoliko tradicionalnih hrvatskih jela poput pašticade ili purice s mlincima, prilagođenih zahtjevnim uvjetima koje mora  zadovoljiti hrana u zrakoplovu.

ood and drink in Business Class has become the most important feature of every airline. Keeping this fact in mind, we implemented the Inspired by Croatia project, which led to the creation of our new Business Class menu. We figured the best way to present the delicacies of Croatia was to use autochthonous ingredients and recipes.

So logically, the first thing we did in creating our menu was to work closely with the Uje Oil Bar in Split, which uses only locallygrown ingredients and presents them in a traditional way in their recipes.

Collaborating with us on the menu was famous Croatian Chef Dino Galvagno whose approach it was to only use foods grown, caught or harvested in the local environment. All the dishes on our menu are modernized versions of autochthonous recipes of coastal and continental Croatia.

Dino Galvagno & Leopold Botteri, the owner of the Uje Oil Bar, worked for several months on the menu, analyzing the menu choices of competitor airlines as well as the feedback of experienced chefs around the globe who were already familiar with the specific ingredients and flavours suitable, and more palatable, for on-board dining.

This research was incorporated into our own taste tests, where the same dishes were experimented with: seasoned at different flavour intensities and prepared in different ways in a real in-flight environment.

The results from these several months of

Pour the lemon dressing over the mixture and lightly toss. The lemon juice should completely cover the shrimps. Let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

The menu boasts the revival of several traditional Croatian dishes, such as stewed beef (pašticada) or turkey with flatbread (purica s mlincima), adapted accordingly, of course, to conditions required of in-flight  dining and meal preparation.

Dubravkin put Restaurant & Wine Bar

Fotografije/Photos _ Duško Vlaović

Smjeπten u tuπkanaËkoj πumi, na samo nekoliko minuta hoda od srediπta grada, Dubravkin put koncipiran je kao restoran i wine bar. Interijer je ugodan, topao i moderan, a boravak na terasi pruæa predivan pogled na park i πumu. Filozofija restorana jest predstaviti gostima inovativan dining-koncept. Mediteranska kuhinja i jelovnik πefice Priske Thuring te profesionalno i usluæno osoblje koje vodi Marko Rundek, svakom Êe gostu pruæiti ukusno, elegantno i sofisticirano iskustvo.

Dubravkin put svoje uporiπte pronalazi u timu ljudi koji vole ono πto rade i vjeruju u to. Predanost i posveÊenost poslu te jedinstvena znanja i vjeπtine gostima pruæaju ukusna, elegantna i sofisticirana iskustva. Priska Thuring, πefica kuhinje Dubravkinog puta, roena je u ©vicarskoj, a odrasla u Kanadi. Timu restorana pridruæila se 2015. godine. Priska opisuje svoj meni kao kulinarsku voænju po Mediteranu. Pri kuhanju koristi se uglavnom domaÊim proizvodima, istodobno neumorno traæeÊi nove male proizvoaËe kako bi pokazala koliko Hrvatska moæe ponuditi, a sezonski proizvodi kljuËni su za postizanje visoke razine kvalitete. Restoran surauje s mnogo lokalnih proizvoaËa, ribara i lovaca kako bi ujedno pomogli i zajednici. Mali proizvoaËi svojim proizvodima posveÊuju mnogo vremena, paænje i ljubavi, a to se

126 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 4/2016

odraæava i na kvalitetu i okuse koji se nude na tanjuru. Svjeæi kravlji sir dolazi s breæuljaka sjeverno od Zagreba, paËje meso iz varaædinskog podruËja, riba stiæe od dalmatinskih ribara, kavijar od pastrve iz Zagreba, a povrÊe s glavne zagrebaËke trænice. Priskina neprestana potreba za istraæivanjem i putovanjima, na kojima osvjeæava stara i stjeËe nova kulinarska iskustva, proæima cijeli jelovnik. Pruæiti gostima nezaboravno iskustvo, iskušati nove stvari, uËiti o proizvodima - strasti su koje ju potiËu da sa svojim timom neprestano pomiËe granice.

Meni za ruËak veoma je dinamiËan, mijenja se gotovo svaki tjedan, manje je zahtjevan i prilagoen ubrzanom tempu æivota koji veÊina od nas æivi. VeËernji jelovnik je fine dining u sklopu kojega se nude i dva degustacijska jelovnika.

Wine bar, s dugaËkim drvenim barom i vinskom policom koja krasi ulaz u restoran, jedna je od osobitosti Dubravkina puta. Mnogo se truda i ljubavi ulaæe u stvaranje jedne od najveÊih i najpriznatijih ponuda vina u Hrvatskoj, od kojih se velika veÊina toËi na Ëaπe. Sommelier restorana ustrajno radi na poboljπanju kolekcije viπe od 500 razliËitih vina iz svih relevantnih svjetskih vinskih regija, uz naglasak na nevjerojatnoj raznolikosti i kvaliteti koju nude hrvatska vina.

kubanskih cigara i cigarillosa, klasiËni kokteli, spektakularan izbor viskija, ruma, konjaka, dæina te drugih svjetski poznatih piÊa i likera.

Restoran raspolaæe i privatnom prostorijom naziva Val. Ambijent je prikladan za intimniji doæivljaj privatnih i poslovnih ruËkova, veËera i dogaaja te je idealan prostor za odvojene korporativne evente.

Ovdje tim restorana organizira i konceptu-

alne veËere pod nazivom #VeceraUValu.

Svaka veËera ima svoju tematiku koja za sve goste ostaje tajna do poËetka. Apsolutno sve, od hrane, piÊa, scenografije, postave stola, pa Ëak i glazbe u skladu je s odabranom temom. Ne znate što Êete jesti, ne znate koja Êete vina dobiti uz pojedina jela, ne znate kakvu Êete vrstu glazbe sluπati ili pokraj koga Êete pak sjediti. Jedino πto morate znati jest da ulazite u jedan od najboljih hrvatskih restorana i da Êe se za vas dobro pobrinuti skupina kreativaca i profesionalaca, koja zaista uæiva u osmiπljavanju i realizaciji tih veËera.

Stoga rezervirajte svoje mjesto telefonom na broj +385 (0)1 4834 975 ili info@dubravkin-put.com GPS koordinate: Lat: 45.820979 N, Lon: 15.974808 E Radno vrijeme: 11- 24 h, nedjeljom zatvoreno

Situated in the Tuškanac Forest, a short walk from the city centre, is the Dubravkin Put Restaurant and Wine Bar. The interior space is comfortable, warm and modern, while the terrace boasts a breathtaking view of the park and forest. The restaurant’s philosophy is giving guests an innovative dining experience. The Mediterranean cuisine and menu of Chef Priska Thuring as well as the professional dining staff led by Marko Rundek provides every guest with an enjoyable and elegant experience.

A staff who love and believe in what they do is at the core of the Dubravkin Put Restaurant. The team’s determination, commitment to working hard, unique knowledge base and service skills allow diners to experience the utmost in taste and sophistication. The restaurant’s Executive Chef Priska Thuring, who was born in Switzerland, but raised Canada, joined the restaurant team in 2015. She describes her menu as a culinary journey through the Mediterranean and sources mostly locallygrown, seasonal ingredients, which she believes is key to achieving a high level of food quality. Priska is constantly in search of new, small-scale regional producers that show Croatia in the best light. To this end and to help the local community, the restaurant works with numerous local food producers, fishermen, and farmers. They are especially attentive to small growers they believe put the quality and flavors of Croatia on a plate.

Dubravkin Put sources fresh cheese from farms north of Zagreb, duck meat from the Varaždin area, fish from the Dalmatian coast, trout caviar from Zagreb, and vegetables from the main farmers’ market in Zagreb. Priska’s need to constantly come up with new ideas and her quest for new gastronomic experiences permeates her entire menu. It’s this passion that drives her and her team to push culinary boundaries. This is turn, gives guests a memorable dining experience - where they can try out new delicacies, and learn about products.

One of the restaurant’s special features is the wine bar’s long wooden counter and wine rack, which decorates the entryway.

A lot of sweat and tears has gone into creating one of the largest and most-recognized wine collections in Croatia, the vast majority of which is sold by the glass. The restaurant’s sommelier has worked hard on building a vast collection, which already contains 500 different types of wine from all the relevant wine-producing regions around the world, but there is a strong emphasis on Croatian wines - their variety and quality. There is also a wide selection of Cuban cigars and cigarillos, as well as an impressive selection of whiskey, rum, cognac, gin and other classic cocktails and liqueurs.

The restaurant also boasts a private room called Val. The ambient is suitable for intimate parties or for business meals and special events, and is ideal for corporate gatherings. The team organizes conceptual dinners under the name: #VeceraUValu.

Every dinner party has a theme, which is kept a secret until the event begins.

Absolutely everything is a mystery - from the choice of food, beverages, scenography, table settings and seating arrangements to the specially-chosen music.

CROATIA AIRLINES NOVOSTI CROATIA AIRLINES NEWS sudionika hangarima Croatia Airlinesa u Međunarodnoj zračnoj luci Zagreb.

20. OBLJETNICA LETENJA NA LINIJI ZAGREB - SARAJEVO U sarajevskoj zračnoj luci 19. listopada 2016. obilježili smo 20. obljetnicu kontinuiranog letenja na međunarodnoj redovitoj liniji Zagreb - Sarajevo.

Na svečanosti, koja je održana u najvećoj i najvažnijoj zračnoj luci Bosne i Hercegovine, istodobno je obilježeno i dvadeset godina uspješne poslovne suradnje Croatia Airlinesa i Međunarodnog aerodroma Sarajevo.

Naš prvi let na redovitoj međunarodnoj liniji Zagreb - Sarajevo bio je u kolovozu 1996. godine putničkim zrakoplovom ATR42. Prvi smo sletjeli u obnovljenu sarajevsku zračnu luku i ponovno je otvorili za civilni zračni promet.

Od tada pa sve do danas naši zrakoplovi tijekom cijele godine svakodnevno povezuju glavne gradove Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine.

20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ZAGREBSARAJEVO ROUTE The 19th of October 2016 marked the 20th anniversary of the first regularly- scheduled international route from Zagreb - Sarajevo.

A ceremony was held at the Sarajevo International Airport, the biggest and most important airport in Bosnia and Hercegovina, to commemorate the landmark moment. The date also marked the twentieth year of Croatia Airlines’ working relationship with the Sarajevo airport. The first regular international flight from Zagreb to Sarajevo took place in August 1996 on commercial flight ATR42. We were the first to land in the renovated airport, which had re-opened for civilian traffic. Since then, our aircraft have operated daily throughout the year to con-

ODRŽANA STRUČNA KONFERENCIJA Konferencija Airline E&M Central, Eastern & Southern Europe održana je u Zagrebu 9. i 10. studenog 2016. godine. Croatia Airlines ugostio je sve sudionike konferencije. Dvodnevna konferencija okupila je priznate stručnjake iz regije pa tako i iz našeg Sektora tehničkih poslova.

Razmatrane su aktualne teme vezane uz pružanje MRO usluga (usluga održavanja, popravaka i remonta aviona, motora i aviokomponenti) koje zaokupljaju stručnjake iz tehničke branše s našeg područja kako bi se i nadalje nastavila te razvijala najbolja praksa u pružanju različitih tehničkih usluga.

Prvoga dana konferencije održana su zanimljiva izlaganja i niz panela u kojima su sudjelovali i naši kolege. Drugoga dana konferencije nastavljeno je sa stručnim predavanjima, a poslije završetka službenog dijela organizirali smo posjet svih

The Airline E&M Central, Eastern & Southern Europe Conference was held in Zagreb on 9-10 November 2016. Croatia Airlines hosted all conference participants. The twoday conference brought together recognized experts from the region as well as experts from our technical sector. Topics discussed focussed on issues related to MRO services provision (maintenance services, repairs and complete overhaul of aircraft, engines, and other aviation components) which were of interest to the technicians in our region so that best practices in technical service provision could be further developed. Day one of the conference boasted interesting presentations and panel discussions, which included members of the Croatia Airlines’ team while the second day was devoted to lectures. Once the conference was officially closed, a tour was organized at the Zagreb International Airport for all Croatia Airlines’ conference participants.

DVJESTOTI C- PREGLED Sigurnost letenja postiže se visokom razinom održavanja zrakoplova, i to u skladu s najvišim svjetskim zrakoplovnim standardima. Od 2001. godine naša je kompanija ovlaštena i za tehničko održavanje inozemnih zrakoplova u tehničkom središtu u Zagrebu. Tako je tijekom prosinca i dvjestoti Luftansin zrakoplov Airbus A320 došao na red za C-pregled u našim hangarima. Suradnja je počela prije petnaest godina. Točnije, 25. listopada 2001. g.,

TECHNICAL CONFERENCE HELD IN ZAGREB

Volim putovati!

u Zagreb je, na prvi C-pregled, stigao Lufthansin Airbus A320, D-AIPU. Uspješna suradnja nastavlja se do današnjih dana u obliku različitih radova, C-pregleda, strukturalnih modifikacija, rekonfiguracija kabine itd.

200TH C CHECK Flight safety is achieved by maintaining high levels of aircraft performance in accordance with the highest world aviation standards. Since 2001, our company’s technical centre in Zagreb has been responsible for undertaking the technical maintenance of foreigh aircraft. In December, the Lufthansa Airbus A320 arrived in our hangars for the centre’s 200th C Check. Collaboration with Lufthansa began twenty-five years ago on 25 October 2001 to be exact. This was when the first C Check was carried out on Lufthansa’s Airbus A320, D-AIPU. Since then, we have been working with Lufthansa successfully on various works: C Checks, structural modifications, cabin reconfigurations etc.

RED SJEDENJA

D. Fabijanić

Vaπe je sjedalo rezervirano samo za vas. Napuπtate li sjedalo tijekom leta, molimo da se prije svakog slijetanja vratite na sjedalo.

UPUTE ZA SIGURNOST Prije uzlijetanja zrakoplova osoblje Êe vam dati nekoliko uputa πto valja Ëiniti u sluËaju opasnosti. One se odnose na tip zrakoplova pa ih paæljivo prouËite. Prigodom uzlijetanja i slijetanja svi putnici, ukljuËujuÊi i djecu, moraju se vezati sigurnosnim pojasima.

PreporuËujemo da zbog vaπe sigurnosti i udobnosti ostanete privezani tijekom cijelog leta. Pri slijetanju molimo da ostanete na svojim sjedalima sve dok se ne iskljuËi znak obvezatnog vezivanja.

Prilikom ulaska u neke zemlje valja popuniti odreene obrasce. Oni su vam dostupni u aerodromskoj zgradi pri ulasku u zemlju. Kako bismo vam olakπali i ubrzali taj postupak, naπe Êe vam ih kabinsko osoblje rado podijeliti tijekom leta.

ELEKTRONIČKI URE�AJI U RUČNOJ PRTLJAZI Upotreba elektroniËkih ureaja dopuπtena je iskljuËivo u zrakoplovnom radu, teæe i veÊe ureaje potrebno je pospremiti dok je upaljen znak obveznog vezivanja.

Popis dopuπtenih elektroniËkih naprava: n Mobilni/Smart telefoni n Tablet raËunala

ZABRANJENI PREDMETI Zakonom je zabranjeno noπenje opasnog materijala i u predanoj i u ruËnoj prtljazi. U takve se ubrajaju eksplozivi, lako zapaljive tekuÊine, radioaktivni materijali i otrovi, oruæje, stlaËeni plinovi, korozivna i oksidirajuÊa sredstva.

USLUGA TIJEKOM LETA U naπim zrakoplovima posluæujemo hranu i napitke bez naplate.

U poslovnom razredu na svim letovima usluga ukljuËuje birana hrvatska jela, alkoholna i bezalkoholna piÊa te izbor domaÊega i stranog tiska.

U ekonomskom razredu usluga ovisi o vrsti i duljini leta.

Na domaÊim letovima posluæuje se samo voda, a na meunarodnim letovima usluga se sastoji od snacka i ponude piÊa.
