THE COLLECTION

Dear Readers,

Editor in Chief Sandra Vlatković

INTRODUCTION

A very warm welcome to our inaugural edition of The Collection, Serbia.

Our aim, when creating this unique publication, was to bring together the ultimate treasure chest that will showcase Serbia to the world, highlighting the best our beautiful country has to offer. We greatly value all our visitors, whether they be holidaymakers or investors, and we hope this publication can act as a ‘business card’ or brochure to introduce our Serbia to the wider world.

The Collection, Serbia would only be possible with the support of both the National Tourism Organization of Serbia and the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications, to whom we owe our sincere gratitude.

We would also like to thank our hotel partners and advertisers, who have acted as the ‘wind at our backs’, ensuring that this ambitious project was completed to the highest of standards.

Many of our advertisers have been partners since our initial launch of The Collection, Montenegro more than 8 years ago, and have faithfully supported us in each edition ever since. The loyalty of our partners is built upon the guarantee that we deliver a world-class product in which they are worthy to be featured, as we strive to only highlight Serbia’s finest and most exclusive.

Serbia is on the move and undergoing an enormous, positive transformation, and we are now rightly taking our position on the world stage. We are no longer an emerging economy – we have emerged. You will witness this first-hand when you delve into the magazine and read about the exciting investment projects, growth in tourism, new real estate opportunities, fabulous new hotels and so much more.

Our tourism industry is undergoing unprecedented growth. Even the famous American magazine Vogue has included Belgrade in their list of lesser-known destinations that must be seen in 2019.

For a tourist, we believe our articles such as ‘10 Reasons to Love Belgrade this Spring and Summer’ and our ‘Insider’s Guide to Discovering Serbia’ will provide insight and top tips, to ensure you’ll remember your stay long after you’ve left.

For investors, we are delighted to include a supplement covering ‘All You Need to Know about Investing in Serbia’, in cooperation with The Development Agency of Serbia (RAS).

The Collection, Serbia is distributed in the rooms of our country’s finest hotels, and at other key destinations. We also hand-deliver this publication to some of Serbia’s key decision-makers, and to embassies and consulates throughout the world.

Serbia can be seen as located at the intersection of the world, with the beautiful oriental spirit of the East, and the business opportunities of the West. We believe this beautiful combination can be clearly seen throughout our Serbia, and throughout this edition.

We hope you enjoy.

INTRODUCTION

Dragi čitaoci, Dozvolite mi, pre svega, da vam poželim dobrodošlicu na prve strane premijernog izdanja „The Collection, Serbia“. Ovaj jedinstveni magazin pripremali smo sa željom da čitaocu na jednom mestu na uvid damo sveobuhvatnu riznicu koja će na najbolji način prikazati uzbudljivu zemlju kakva je Srbija, predstavljajući ono najbolje što ima da ponudi. Zamislili smo ga kao „vizit-kartu“ Srbije, zemlje jednako inspirativne i za posetioce i za investitore. Cilj nam je da zavolite Srbiju i da poželite da se vratite. Časopis „The Collection, Serbia“ je mogao da nastane jedino uz podršku Turističke organizacije Srbije i Ministarstva trgovine, turizma i telekomunikacija, kojima dugujemo iskrenu zahvalnost. Od srca se zahvaljujemo i hotelima koji su naši partneri, kao i svim oglašivačima koji su nam ukazali poverenje, dali podršku i „vetar u leđa“ da ovako smelo, ali svakako adekvatno predstavimo našu zemlje. Mnogi oglašivači u ovom broju su naši partneri više od osam godina, još od vremena kada je iz štampe izašao naš prvi magazin, „The Collection, Montenegro“, i bili su uz nas kroz svako izdanje. Naši partneri imaju poverenja da ćemo kreirati proizvod svetskog ranga i znaju će se, zahvaljujući zastupljenosti u našem magazinu, zapravo naći u ekskluzivnom klubu „najboljih u svojoj klasi“.

Srbija je zemlja u pokretu i prolazi kroz značajne pozitivne promene, te s pravom osvaja mesto na svetskoj pozornici. Privreda naše zemlje se razvija i značajno napreduje. U to ćete se uveriti iz prve ruke kada budete uronili u časopis i čitali o uzbudljivim investicionim projektima, rastu turizma, graditeljskim poduhvatima, novim vrhunskim hotelima…

Naša turistička industrija beleži nezapamćen rast. Čak je i čuveni američki časopis „Vog“ svrstao Beograd na spisak manje poznatih destinacija koje se moraju obići 2019. godine.

Ukoliko ste turista, verujemo da će vas članci kao što su „10 razloga zbog kojih ćete zavoleti Beograd ovog proleća i leta“ i „Insajderski vodič kroz Srbiju“, dovoljno informisati, ali i poslužiti vam kao savršeno mesto sa kog će otpočeti vaša avantura.

Ukoliko ste investitor, zadovoljstvo nam je da vas obavestimo da magazin ima i dodatak koji pokriva „sve što treba da znate o investiranju u Srbiju“, koji je nastao u saradnji sa Razvojnom agencijom Srbije.

Magazin „The Collection, Serbia“ se može naći u sobama svih kvalitetnih hotela u zemlji, kao i na drugim relevantnim tačkama za distribuciju. Takođe dostavljamo svoj časopis stotinama ključnih donosilaca odluka u Srbiji i putujemo širom sveta zahvaljujući našim konzulatima i ambasadama u inostranstvu.

Na raskrsnici svetova, u Srbiji, možete osetiti orijentalni duh Istoka, kao i poslovne mogućnosti Zapada, ali kroz jedinstvenu emociju srpskog domaćina. Mi čvrsto verujemo da smo sve to verno prikazali u ovom izdanju. Nadamo se da ćete uživati.

Dobrodošli u Srbiju!

Urednik Sandra Vlatković

Our restaurants have attained ground-breaking success across all hospitality platforms, most recognizably in The Michelin Guide, on TripAdvisor and as witnessed by our loyal guests who keep returning time and time again.

The team at ‘Street Guys Hospitality’ began small but always maintained a big vision. In doing so, we have achieved the establishment of accomplished restaurants and bars across two continents; taking the very best from the U.S. and employing them in the Balkans and vice versa.

The result? Our restaurants have attained ground-breaking success across all hospitality platforms, most recognizably in The Michelin Guide, on TripAdvisor and as witnessed by our loyal guests who keep returning time and time again.

E

very ingredient that enters our kitchen is of the highest quality and standard – from the meat to fresh greens, spices, grains, juices, spirits – indeed across all concepts. Each supplier we partner with is selected with purpose - for their unrivalled quality and ethical sourcing. Whether it be our small-plate restaurants Ambar Belgrade and Toro Latin GastroBar or our family-restaurant Mala Fabrika Ukusa – we will only ever serve the highest quality ingredients – a standard we have established and maintained since day one – never cutting corners.

TRI IMPRESIVNA RESTORANA, JEDNA FILOZOFIJA Ugostiteljstvo je naša strast Grupacija Street Guys Hospitality je počela skromno, ali je oduvek imala veliku viziju. Tako smo uspeli da osnujemo uspešne restorane i barove na dva kontinenta. Uzeli smo ono najbolje iz Sjedinjenih Država i primenili to na Balkan, i obrnuto. I šta smo postigli? Naši restorani beleže rekordan uspeh na svim ugostiteljskim platformama, pre svega u Mišelinovom vodiču, na sajtu TripAdvisor, kao i kod naših vernih gostiju koji nam se stalno vraćaju.

Svaki sastojak koji uđe u našu kuhinju je najvišeg kvaliteta i ispunjava najviše standarde – od mesa, do svežeg povrća, začina, žitarica, sokova, alkoholnih pića - u najrazličitijim konceptima. Svaki dobavljač koji je naš partner bira se zahvaljujući neospornom kvalitetu i etičkom načinu na koji dolaze do sirovina koje nam isporučuju. Bilo da govorimo o našim restoranima s konceptom „malih jela“, kao što su Ambar Beograd i Toro Latin GastroBar, ili o porodičnom restoranu Mala fabrika ukusa – uvek ćemo služiti samo najkvalitetnije sastojke – to je standard koji smo uspostavili i kog se pridržavamo od prvog dana – princip od kog nikada ne odustajemo.

AMBAR BEOGRAD – DOPUNA DEFINICIJI HEDONIZMA

Ambar Beograd otvoren je 2015. nakon izuzetnog uspeha brenda u SAD. Tokom 2018, Ambar DC je pohvaljen u Mišelinovom vodiču, o njemu je pisao Njujork Tajms, a već duže vreme restoran drži prvu poziciju na TripAdvisor listi za grad Vašington. Ambar Beograd kombinuje tradiciju i nasleđe sa kreativnošću i modernim dizajnom. Rezultat ovakve kombinacije je nezaboravno iskustvo posetilaca koje ukusnom hranom, neverovatnim pićima i domaćom, a istovremeno urbanom atmosferom, dopire do svih čula.

Od bogate ponude savršenih zalogaja, vrhunskog enterijera i najšireg izbora najkvalitetnijih rakija i lokalnih vina, do naše prvoklasne usluge - svaki detalj precizno je utkan u jedinstveno srpsko putovanje koje će vas ostaviti bez daha.

Svaki zalogaj u našem restoranu dopunjuje definiciju hedonizma, potrudite se da uživate svim svojim čulima u tome.

TORO LATIN GASTROBAR – DOBRODOŠLICA NAJBOLJEM IZ JUŽNE AMERIKE

Lociran u samom srcu Beograda, u ekskluzivnom ambijentu Beton hale, Toro Latin GastroBar je postigao jedinstven uspeh, kako u oblasti vrhunske gastronomije, tako i kao nezaobilazna destinacija visokog životnog stila.

Vlasnik i šef Ričard Sandoval, čija priznanja obuhvataju i ona najprestižnija poput Bon Appetit Restaurateur of the Year i Mexico’s Toque d’Oro, koristi južno i centralno-američke sastojke i vešto kreira „male tanjire“ predviđene za deljenje. Sandoval već ima lanac od 26 restorana u Denveru, Las Vegasu, Njujorku, Santa Moniki, Vašingtonu, Meksiku, Dubaiju i Kataru, a restoran u Beogradu prvi je njegov lokal u Evropi.

Karta pića uključuje inovativne koktele koji se prave od svežeg voća i prirodnog, organskog zaslađivača, zbirku latinskih vina i raznovrsna žestoka alkoholna pića, od kojih se izdvaja bogata ponuda tekila. Veseo enetrijer pomaže fuziji tradicionalnih i savremenih ukusa, i savršen je za kombinovanje južnoameričkih stilova i ukusa.

Da li ste avanturista? Ukoliko jeste, obavezno probajte naš Toro Latin Experience koji je specijalno kreiran kako bi obezbedio da vaše gastronomsko putovanje bude zaista nezaboravno.

THE COLLECTION

We enriched this part of the city with a spacious, beautiful garden and an even more impressive food concept.

MALA FABRIKA UKUSA – TRADITION AND IMAGINATION

We are ‘Mala Fabrika Ukusa’ (‘Small Factory of Tastes’), a family restaurant in one of the most beautiful parts of central Belgrade, namely, the magnificent Neimar. We enriched this part of the city with a spacious, beautiful garden and an even more impressive food concept. The restaurant originated from inspiration after a wonderful trip and a series of happy circumstances which were realized in 2009. Intended as a warm, pleasant and comfortable shelter from the hurried city rhythm, a venue to unwind and indulge in creative culinary delights that feature a fresh take on traditional Serbian cuisine. At Mala Fabrika Ukusa, we presented tradition our way, using unique modern techniques and creative ideas of our brilliant young team. We blended local foods and modern preparation styles of classic Serbian recipes with our chef ’s great creations and spiced it up with imagination and love.

The menu is divided into two parts: Tradition and Imagination. We use imagination when searching for the new and unusual. Tradition because it’s familiar and we want to preserve.

Naš restoran nastao je iz inspiracije posle jednog divnog putovanja i spleta srećnih okolnosti, i najzad je otvoren 2009. Zamišljen je kao toplo, prijatno i udobno sklonište od užurbanog gradskog ritma, mesto za predah i ukusan zalogaj koga ste baš željni, jer naš koncept je srpska tradicija oplemenjena savremenim dodirom. Ali ovde je i tradicija predstavljena na nama svojstven način - neobično obogaćena modernim tehnikama i kreativnim idejama našeg mladog tima. U igri učestvuju lokalne namirnice i moderni načini pripreme, stari srpski recepti i sjajne kreacije naših kuvara, a sve smo začinili maštom i ljubavlju prema ovom našem divnom poslu. Naš jelovnik podeljen je na dve sekvence: Tradiciju i Maštu. Mašta je u stalnoj potrazi za novim i neobičnim jer je naš tim neumoran i gladan inovacija, a Tradiciju znamo i želimo da čuvamo.

Looking at the very impressive reviews of the Square Nine Hotel on travel sites since the period of the hotel opening, the impression becomes clear very quickly that this hotel is something special. Just in 2019, Jessica from the UK states on booking.com – “I have travelled the world extensively but this is one of the most well designed and beautiful boutique hotels where I have ever stayed”. Ruby from Germany on the same portal writes in late 2018 “This is one of the best hotels in the world and I travel constantly”. There are hundreds of outstanding reviews which is independent proof that Square Nine Hotel is certainly, the talk of the town.

SQUARE NINE HOTEL BELGRADE Mesto o kome svi pričaju Ukoliko pogledate izuzetno impresivne ocene koje je hotel Square Nine dobio na turističkim sajtovima otkada je otvoren, ubrzo će vam postati jasno da je reč o veoma posebnom hotelu. Početkom godine, Džesika iz Velike Britanije piše na sajtu booking.com: „Putovala sam po celom svetu, ali ovo je jedan od najbolje dizajniranih i najlepših butik hotela u kom sam ikad boravila“. Rubi iz Nemačke na istom portalu 2018. godine piše sledeće: „Ovo je jedan od najboljih hotela na celom svetu, a to kažem kao neko ko putuje stalno“. Postoji na stotine izuzetnih ocena gostiju, koje su svaka za sebe dokaz da je Square Nine Hotel mesto o kome svi rado i pozitivno pričaju.

A modern classic in the heart of old world Belgrade. Conceived by the renowned design-architect, Isay Weinfeld, this awardwinning boutique hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Behind the impressive façade, which blends perfectly as the new amongst the old, the expansive lobby features an extensive collection of books and art, a polished limestone floor, and mid-century furnishings, which were carefully sourced at auction over the span of two years. The lobby is a hive of activity with guests mingling with business visitors, creating a wonderful lively space to enjoy and watch the world in what feels like the place where everything happens in the midst of this busy capital city.

The hotel offers two restaurants serving modern European cuisine in an elegant setting and Japanese delicacies on the hotel's rooftop terrace.

In the relaxed and elegant restaurant, The Square, located on the ground floor, the award-winning culinary director, Eyck Zimmer, creates dishes that reflect his own keen instinct for balancing flavour and texture with an exquisite blend of Frenchbased influences. The French touch to The Square’s impeccable gastronomy is recognized expressly in the carefully selected wine card, distinguishing this unique capital’s restaurant which, as the only location in Belgrade that offers all five premier, grand cru class wines of the Bordeaux region. The most renowned wines of Bordeaux are so high in quality and style that they were awarded 100 points by the Wine Advocate’s Robert Parker. Square Nine’s collection includes Chateau Latour (Pauillac 2002 and 2003), Chateau Lafite-Rothschild (Pauillac, 2009), Chateau Margaux (Margaux, 2009) and many others.

Iza impresivne fasade, koja se, iako je nova, savršeno uklapa sa raskošnim fasadama starog grada u okruženju, nalazi se prostrani lobi sa zadivljujućom zbirkom knjiga i umetničkih dela, uglačanim mermernim podom i nameštajem koji je dve godine pažljivo biran na aukcijama. Lobby bar hotela Square Nine je jednostavno mesto koje mora da se vidi-tu svoje mesto pronalaze prijatelji, porodice, poslovni partneri, umetnici, pisci, arhitekte, dizajneri…Tu se pije, jede, vode debate i tu se smeje. Jednostavno, svet u malom. Hotel sadrži dva restorana, od kojih jedan nudi savremenu evropsku kuhinju u elegantnom ambijentu, a drugi japanske specijalitete na terasi na krovu hotela.

U opuštenom i elegantnom restoranu The Square, smeštenom u prizemlju, nagrađivani kulinarski direktor, Ajk Cimer (Eyck Zimmer), kreira jela koja su odraz njegovog istančanog osećaja za ravnotežu ukusa i tekstura uz izvrsnu mešavinu francuskih uticaja. Francuski dodir savršenoj gastronomiji koju nudi restoran The Square prepoznatljiv je najpre u pažljivo odabranoj vinskoj karti, po kojoj se ovo mesto ističe u prestonici kao jedini restoran u kom je moguće naći svih pet vrhunskih, gran kru vina iz regije Bordoa. Najčuvenija vina iz Bordoa su toliko visokog kvaliteta i stila da im je Robert Parker iz časopisa Wine Advocate dodelio 100 poena.

Ebisu has become a national treasure amongst Belgrade’s wonderful gastronomy offer.

Named after the Japanese God of fishermen, the stylish rooftop Japanese restaurant - Ebisu, offers an elegant ambiance, a terrace overlooking Belgrade's most charming historic neighbourhood and authentic Japanese cuisine.

“The joy of a vineyard’s soul, is overflowing, dense, into the barrels of heavy night and into August flames”.

round thirty years ago, its production was renewed. Aleksandrović Winery followed the recipe of the King’s winegrowers and produced the first bottle, and now the wines of this agile winery are part of the permanent exhibition at La Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, and are on the wine maps of the most prestigious hotels and restaurants around the world. Last year, Aleksandrović Winery was declared the best winery in Serbia, also winning the prize for the best red wine for their blend of Merlot and Cabernet, Regent Reserve 2013. Aleksandrović wines have won many other awards – and anyone with at least some knowledge of what it takes to be successful and create this nectar of the gods, knows that behind every perfect drop, there is an amazing amount of effort, attention, love, and respect. How else could you explain that in the Aleksandrović Winery grapes are picked only by hand, purposefully reducing the yield, in order to select only the finest grapes. There are no exceptions, and the owners of the winery would rather give up on the whole harvest than to make a wine which would not be able to compete for the first prize in a competition among wine producers of the Balkans. Today, the Aleksandrović family are the leading Serbian private winery, with 75 hectares of their own vineyards

VINARIJA ALEKSANDROVIĆ – Tradicija, strast, kvalitet Vino za kraljevske trpeze Kraljevski podrumi dinastije Karađorđević pre stotinjak godina iznedrili su vino, koje je iz pitoreskne Šumadije kretalo na put širom Evrope i završavalo na brojnim kraljevskim dvorovima.

Pre tridesetak godina obnovljena je njegova proizvodnja, vinarija Aleksandrović je po receptu kraljevih vinogradara proizvela prvu bocu i sada se vina ove agilne vinarije nalaze u Svetskom Muzeju Vina u Bordou, kao i na vinskim kartama najprestižnijih svetskih hotela i restorana. Prošle godine, vinarija Aleksandrović proglašena je za najbolju vinariju Srbije, a naziv najboljeg crvenog vina ponela je njihova kupaža merloa i kabernea Regent Reserve 2013. Brojne su nagrade odnela vina Aleksandrović, a svako ko ima makar malo predznanja o tome šta je sve potrebno da se uspe i napravi ovaj nektar bogova, zna da se iza savršene kapljice krije neverovatna količina truda, pažnje, ljubavi i poštovanja. Kako drugačije objasniti činjenicu da se u vinariji Aleksandrović grožđe bere isključivo ručno i to namerno smanjujući prinos da bi se selektovalo najbolje grožđe.

of high-quality grape varieties, used for the production of their premium wines. Their vineyards are located just a few kilometres from the winery, in three different locations – Vinča, Ježevac and Bokanja, which are characterised by different microclimate and soil types. Good ventilation, which is typical of the Oplenac vineyards, is helpful for the owners, particularly for the growing of Pinot Noir and Rhein Riesling.

Boža Aleksandrović, the owner of the winery which currently produces 300,000 bottles of premium wines per year, proudly talks of his beginnings, and the first carefully bred varieties and the first wine made according to the traditional recipe, the famous Trijumf.

“This wine is the pinnacle of the winemaking tradition of the region of Oplenac. It is authentic and unique. The original recipe of Živan Tadić is proof that Trijumf is not just empty talk. Rather, it is a wine with history and pedigree. “We used the ratio of grape varieties identical to the one from 1932, the only difference being the use of up-todate technology. We control the yield of grapes as much as possible, since only top-quality yield can provide premium wines. The best winegrowers, technologists and oenologists were engaged in controlling each segment of production, from everyday care of the vineyard, the precise dating of the start of the harvest, production using the latest methods, to storing the wine in our cellars” says Mr. Aleksandrović. Trijumf can now be found on three continents, in Europe, America and Asia, and

Danas je porodica Aleksandrović sa svojim vinima vodeća srpska privatna vinarija i za proizvodnju svojih vrhunskih vina koristi 75 hektara sopstvenih vinograda zasađenih visokokvalitetnim sortama grožđa. Vinogradi se nalaze na svega nekoliko kilometara od vinarije, na tri različite lokacije - Vinča, Ježevac i Bokanja, koje se odlikuju različitim mikroklimatskim uslovima i tipovima zemljišta. Dobra provetrenost koja karakteriše oplenačko vinogorje ide na ruku vlasnicima, posebno za sorte pino noar i rajnski rizling.

Boža Aleksandrović, vlasnik vinarije koja trenutno godišnje proizvodi 300.000 boca vrhunskih vina, ponosan je kada priča o počecima, prvim sortama pažljivo uzgojenim i po staroj recepturi proizvedenom prvom vinu, čuvenom Trijumfu. „Ovo vino je kruna vinarske tradicije oplenačkog kraja, autentično i jedinstveno. Originalni recept Živana Tadića je jedan od dokaza da Trijumf nije prazna priča, već da ima istoriju, pedigre i da je to vino gde primenjujemo identični sortni sastav iz 1932. godine, s tim što smo sada dodali i modernu tehnologiju. Maksimalno kontrolišemo rod grožđa, svesni da samo od roda vrhunskog kvaliteta možemo da dobijemo vino najvišeg kvaliteta. Vrhunski vinogradari, tehnolozi i enolozi angažovani su da svaki segment proizvodnje bude prekontrolisan, od svakodnevne nege vinograda, preko tačnog određivanja dana početka berbe, proizvodnje u najsavremenijim uslovima do čuvanja vina u na-

the most exclusive restaurants in the biggest cities offer Trijumf on their wine cards since it is truly exotic for wine lovers who are a bit tired from French, Italian or Spanish wines. “Now, we often get calls from Beverly Hills restaurants who ask for Trijumf so that they can include it in their wine lists”, says Mr. Aleksandrović.

In honour of the first Trijumf, Aleksandrović Winery today has a whole range of wines with the name Trijumf – white, rosé and red, and even two sparkling wines and one dessert wine. The owner lovingly highlights Trijumf Gold, a wine which is fermented and aged in barrels made of oak from Slavonia, which hold 4,000 litres. Even though Aleksandrović Winery was initially known as a treasury of fine white wines, they have also adopted the production of red wines, and the connoisseurs highlight the Rodoslov Grand Reserve, a wine in the vein of the blends of Bordeaux, creating a very complex aromatic and fruity set, followed by a full body of high extraction, mature tannins and an elegant, long finish. The experts of Aleksandrović Winery created the first Serbian sparkling wine, produced in accordance with tradition and French recipes. It was declared the best sparkling wine in Southeast Europe, in the world competition of champagnes and sparkling wines, held in London.

The owner states that the biggest challenge a successful winery faces today is to have different sorts and clones, unique and different, and yet united by a single idea – promotion of the quality of the Oplenac soil and region.

Trijumf se sada može naći na tri kontinenta, u Evropi, Americi i Aziji i najekskluzivniji restorani u velikim svetskim gradovima imaju Trijumf na svojim vinskim kartama, jer on upravo predstavlja pravu egzotiku za ljubitelje vina koji su pomalo umorni od francuskih, italijanskih ili španskih vina. Danas imamo situaciju da nas zovu iz restorana sa Beverli Hilsa da traže Trijumf kako bi ga uvrstili u svoje vinske karte“, priča Boža Aleksandrović.

U čast prvog Trijumfa, vinarija Aleksandrović danas ima celu liniju vina koja u sebi nose naziv Trijumf - od belog, preko rose i crvenog, pa čak i dva penušava i jedno desertno vino. Vlasnik ističe sa ljubavlju Trijumf Gold, vino koje fermentiše i odležava u bačvama od slavonskog hrasta zapremine 4.000 litara. Mada je vinarija Aleksandrović primarno bila poznata kao trezor dobrih belih vina, usvojili su proizvodnju i crvenih vina i poznavaoci su izdvojili vina Rodoslov Grand Reserve, urađena u maniru bordoških kupaža u cilju stvaranja vrlo kompleksnog aromatskog sklopa voćnog karaktera, koji prati puno telo velike ekstraktivnosti, zrele tanine i elegantnu, dugu završnicu. Eksperti vinarije Aleksandrović osmislili su i prvo srpsko penušavo vino, proizvedeno tradicionalnom metodom po francuskoj recepturi. Ono je na svetskom takmičenju šampanjaca i penušavih vina, koje se održava u Londonu, proglašeno za najbolje penušavo vino jugoistočne Evrope. Kako je naglasio vlasnik, izazov uspešne vinarije je da ima različite sorte i klonove, jedinstvene i drugačije, a opet da ih sve povezuje jedna zajednička ideja – promocija kvaliteta oplenačke zemlje i podneblja.

new technologies. This is a family job, but without knowledge and passion of the people we employ, we would never make it on our own. Winemaking is an extremely demanding task. Producing premium quality wine is high science, and achieving continuity is even more complicated. Only after making wine and packing it, you face the next challenge – how do we sell it? That is why you have to listen to the market, because tastes change. At the same time, however, you have to preserve your identity and make sure that catering to the market does not mean losing the connection with what the wine represents. I have always tried to develop my own wine style, but I wanted to keep it in trend with the consumers’ tastes. For more than 5 years, we have been presenting our wines in some of the largest international wine trade shows in Asia. Even though they are not familiar with Serbian wines, the wine lovers from Asia were very interested to taste what kinds of wine we produce in Serbia, and their enthusiasm for the Aleksandrović wines are indescribable! We were particularly surprised that, even though they prefer red wines, they were extremely excited by the discovery of Trijumf,” states Boža Aleksandrović.

In addition to winemaking, Aleksandrović Winery also handles wine tourism, with more than 15,000 wine lovers visiting the winery every year, as part of organised and individual visits. The central building of the winery has a very attractive appearance – from the entrance to the building, to the reception hall, tasting hall and conference hall.

„Ima jedna narodna izreka: Čak iako ste na pravom putu, ako stanete onda će vas drugi prestići.

Zato mi stalno ulažemo u ljude, opremu, nove tehnologije. Ovo jeste porodični posao, ali bez znanja i strasti ljudi koje zapošljavamo, ne bi sami uspeli.

Vinarstvo je jedan visokostručan posao. Proizvesti vrhunski kvalitet je visoka nauka, a kontinuitet je još veća. Tek kad napravite vino i kad ga upakujete, dolazi sledeća etapa – kako ga prodati? Zato morate da osluškujete tržište, jer se ukusi menjaju.

Istovremeno morate da zadržite i identitet i da to praćenje tržišta ne izgubi vezu sa onim što to vino jeste. Ja sam uvek pokušavao da izgradim sopstveni stil vina, ali da ona budu u trendu sa ukusima potrošača. Već više od pet godina predstavljamo naša vina na nekim od najvećih svetskih sajmova vina u Aziji. Iako nisu upoznati sa činjenicom da se u Srbiji prave vina, tamošnji ljubitelji vina su bili vrlo zaintrigirani da probaju kakva se to vina proizvode u Srbiji i njihovo oduševljenje vinima Aleksandrović ne može se opisati rečima! Posebno nas je iznenadilo to da, iako su nacija koja voli isključuvo crvena vina, Trijumf je za njih predstavljao pravo oduševljenje i otkriće“, naglasio je Boža Aleksandrović.

Vinarija Aleksandrović se pored proizvodnje vina bavi i vinskim turizom, što potvrđuje godišnja poseta od preko 15.000 ljubitelja vina u okviru organizovanih i individualnih poseta. Centralna zgrada vinarije izgleda više nego reprezentativno – od samog ulaza u zgradu, preko prijemne sale, degustacione sale, konferencijske sale… Gosti namernici su uvek dobrodošli i u najboljem maniru šumadijske dobrodošlice biće domaćinski ugošćeni, biće im omogućen obilazak vinarije u pratnji stručnog vodiča, kao i degustacija vina.

UNIQUE FINE DINING IN BELGRADE

Salon 1905

In less than three years, Salon 1905 has positioned itself at the cusp of Belgrade’s restaurant scene, catering to both local and international guests, looking for an exceptional fine dining experience

S

Stepping inside the breath-taking building one immediately feels at home. With all the opulence, inside ‘1905’, the style is tasteful and refined.

ituated in the iconic ‘Geozavod’ building in the very heart of Belgrade’s Savamala district, Salon 1905 is truly a sight to behold. The turn-ofthe-century landmark edifice is a masterpiece of mixed Baroque and Art Nouveaux architecture, with a spectacular interior wrapped in glistening brass, marble and gold, in line with the finest Viennese and Parisian traditions.

Stepping inside the breath-taking building one immediately feels at home. With all the opulence, inside ‘1905’, the style is tasteful and refined. Just like the food. We recommend you start with some frisky white wine before tasting a slice of foie gras.

Yes, it’s the same foie gras that everyone in Belgrade is talking about, lush and creamy, melting over your taste buds. Then consider dipping into some warm starters. Take your pick between pappardelle with boletus and Chef ’s risotto, or go straight for the classics - homemade Italian Ravioli with Ricotta cheese that tastes like a summer morning in Palermo. For the main course, the Dry-Aged Ribeye steak is a knockout - with juices dripping like honey. This is something that Tony Soprano would kill for - on his lunch break. In case you are looking to unwind after your dinner, the massive oak bar with a rambunctious selection of drinks is an ideal spot for a late-night chill. If you’re around for the weekend, even better. You’ll dine to some of the ‘smoothest and chilliest’ live jazz in town, to make sure you roll

Salon 1905 – Beogradski restoran neponovljivog kvaliteta Piše Tijana Zotović

Za manje od tri godine, restoran Salon 1905 se pozicionirao na sam vrh beogradske restoranske ponude, ispunjavajući potrebe i domaćih gostiju i posetilaca iz inostranstva, koji traže izuzetno kvalitetno gastronomsko iskustvo.

Smešten u kultnoj zgradi Geozavoda u srcu Savamale, Salon 1905 je istinski raj za oči. Ovo zdanje sa kraja 19. veka predstavlja remek-delo barokne i secesionističke arhitekture, sa spektakularnim enterijerom u kom dominiraju svetlucavi mesing, mermer i zlato, u skladu sa najboljom tradicijom Beča i Pariza. Čim stupite u ovu impresivnu zgradu, osetićete se kao kod kuće. Iako raskošan, enterijer Salona 1905 oličenje je dobrog ukusa i prefinjenosti. Upravo takav i gastronomski užitak vas ovde očekuje. Preporučujemo vam da krenete sa nekim razigranim belim vinom pre nego što pređete na komad paštete od guščije jetre. Da, to je ista ona pašteta o kojoj priča ceo Beograd, koja je tako bogata i kremasta da se prosto topi u ustima. Potom razmislite da probate neko toplo predjelo. Birajte između paste papardele sa vrganjima i rižota šefa kuhinje, ili odmah pređite na klasiku – domaće italijanske raviole sa rikotom, koji ukusom podsećaju na sunčani dan u Palermu.

Salon 1905

the rest of your night in full swing.

This feeling of both intimacy and stylish hedonism is not entirely unknown to those who frequent Belgrade restaurants. Before Salon 1905, there was Salon 5. Based in a converted apartment of a period building in Belgrade’s historical neighbourhood of Zemun, Salon 5 is still one of the best-kept secrets in Belgrade. Not your average cool-looking restaurant, more like a private dining room, but without the pomp. The overall impression inside is one of elegance and warmth. The space is laced with classic Italian and Scandinavian furniture, and paintings of acclaimed modernist artists adorn the walls, engulfed in dreamy soundscapes from the lounge speakers, ranging from Brazilian Bossa and 1960s jazz to more contemporary ambient electronica.

The restaurant was founded by two old friends.

Nikola honed his trade working as a head chef in Italy for almost a decade, while Pavle has been known as an avid art collector running a successful design studio for quite some time. Together, they’ve opened Salon 5 as an alternative to Belgrade’s current restaurant scene, serving the finest Italian cuisine in an intimate and refined atmosphere.

“We want our guests to feel at home”, says Nikola, as he leans back in a 1950s Hansen chair, surrounded by vintage European film magazines, cookbooks and travel guides. “It’s about the experience, from the moment our guests pass through the door. As with Salon 1905 - on a slightly different level, but with a matching feel of intimacy and style,” says Nikola.

Both Salon 5 and Salon 1905 serve a similar line of dishes, using only high-quality fresh ingredients, making sure the service is to the highest standards SERBIA

od sušenog mesa sa rebara, sa kog se sokovi slivaju poput meda. Toni Soprano bi ubio za ovo jelo – na pauzi za ručak. Ukoliko želite da se relaksirate posle večere, impozantni bar od hrastovine sa bogatim izborom pića biće idealno mesto za kasno večernje opuštanje. Ako ste tu za vikend, tim bolje. Ješćete uz „najlaganiju i najopušteniju“ džez muziku uživo u celom gradu, i možete biti sigurni da će vam ostatak večeri proteći u najboljem raspoloženju.

Ovaj osećaj intime u kombinaciji sa otmenim hedonizmom nije u potpunosti nov posetiocima beogradskih restorana. Pre Salona 1905, postojao je Salon 5. Smešten u preuređenom stanu jedne starinske zemunske zgrade, Salon 5 je i dalje jedna od najbolje čuvanih tajni u Beogradu. Nije u pitanju običan restoran koji samo izgleda kul, već je više nalik vašoj ličnoj trpezariji, bez ikakve pompeznosti. Ukupan utisak koji ostavlja enterijer svodi se na eleganciju i toplinu. Prostor je obogaćen klasičnim italijanskim i skandinavskim nameštajem, kao i slikama poznatih modernista koje ukrašavaju zidove restorana, a obojen je očaravajućim zvukovima koji dopiru sa zvučnika, u rasponu od brazilske bosa nove i džeza iz 60-ih godina, do savremene ambijentalne elektronike.

Restoran su osnovala dva stara prijatelja. Nikola je ispekao zanat radeći skoro deset godina kao glavni kuvar u Italiji, dok je Pavle poznat kao strastveni kolekcionar umetničkih dela i već dugo vodi uspešan dizajnerski studio. Zajedno su otvorili Salon 5, kao alternativu na savremenoj beogradskoj restoranskoj sceni, i služe najbolju italijansku kuhinju u intimnoj i otmenoj atmosferi. „Cilj nam je da se naši gosti osećaju kao kod kuće“, kaže Nikola, dok vidno udobno sedi u Hansen fo-

at all times. The kitchen keeps the recipes simple yet powerful, while the team’s vast international experience in the gourmet industry, adds an extra layer of class to the experience every time.

Dedication and quality are what best sums up ‘the Salon ethos’. Word of mouth and recommendations on social media have brought the restaurant to the top of Belgrade’s dining scene, including first spots on TripAdvisor's website. But that’s not what the owners are most proud of - it’s when the guests inside are beaming after a good meal and they can see it on their faces. Nikola quotes Eugenio, one of the frequent Italian customers, and one particularly finger-licking Friday dinner “Man, this doesn’t taste like my mum’s pasta. It tastes like my grandma’s”.

“No fancy recipes for the sake of it - We prefer the real thing. Make the right dish the right way.” adds Pavle.

And we haven’t event talked dessert. Has to be seen to be believed.

I Salon 5 i Salon 1905 služe sličan izbor jela, koristeći samo najkvalitetnije sveže sastojke, uz uslugu na najvišem nivou u svakom trenutku. Recepti koji nastaju u kuhinji su jednostavni, ali moćni, dok bogata međunarodna praksa tima u gurmanskoj industriji svaki put daje dodatni nivo luksuza iskustvu koje nudi ovaj restoran.

Posvećenost i kvalitet su najbolji način da se opiše „etos Salona“. Usmene preporuke i pohvale na društvenim mrežama dovele su ovaj restoran na vrh beogradske restoranske scene, kao u slučaju sajta Trip Advisor, gde Salon drži prvo mesto. Ali to nije ono na šta su vlasnici najviše ponosni – jedini istinski kompliment njihovom restoranu su gosti koji sijaju od zadovoljstva nakon dobrog obroka, a da to zadovoljstvo, čak i da žele, ne mogu da sakriju.

Nikola citira Euđenija, jednog od čestih gostiju iz Italije, koji je jednog petka, nakon naročito ukusne večere rekao: „Čoveče, ovo me ne podseća na pastu moje mame, već na pastu moje bake.“ „Nema fensi recepata koji su sami sebi cilj – mi preferiramo autentičnost. Jela treba praviti na pravi način“, dodaje Pavle.

A nismo ni stigli da pomenemo desert. Moraćete da ga vidite i probate da biste u njega poverovali.

Being the capital of Serbian culture, education and science – here in Belgrade is where you will find the largest concentration of institutions in the field of science and art.

Located at the very mouth of the Sava River in the Danube River, the shores of these rivers have become popular promenades, the canvas for local artists as well as numerous restaurants with live music, cafes, and clubs that enrich the nightlife of the capital. The heartbeat of Belgrade is found where these two rivers converge. Form a culinary perspective, Belgrade provides an explosion of taste to satisfy any palate. Throughout history, Belgrade was influenced by various cultures and taking the best of all worlds, the city has conbined its diversity to offer something unique, creating a symbiosis of culinary cosmopolitanism forming regional and local cuisine.

Within the Nisville Jazz Festival, numerous workshops for children and adults are organised, and after an official programme at the fortress, an informal gig is held that lasts until early morning hours.

DANUBE – TRULY INTERNATIONAL RIVER.

Featured in the famous composition by Johan Strauss ‘On the beautiful Blue Danube’, the most beautiful European river Danube has always been an inspiration to statesmen and sailors, as well as artists and travellers. Flowing through 10 countries, more than any other river in the world, the Danube is truly an international river. Due to the endless blue and the cultural and historical significance, the Danube is one of the most popular rivers for cruis-

DUNAV – PRAVA MEĐUNARODNA REKA.

Opevana u čuvenoj kompoziciji Johana Štrausa mlađeg “Na lepom plavom Dunavu”, najlepša evropska reka Dunav uvek je predstavljala inspiraciju kako državnicima i mornarima, tako i umetnicima i putnicima. Zbog beskrajno plave površine i kulturno-istorijske važnosti, Dunav je jedna od najpopularnijih reka za rečno krstarenje ne samo u Evropi već i u svetu. Reka ukupne dužine od 2.700 kilometara prolazi tokom od 588 km kroz Srbiju.

The ‘Bačko Podunavlje’ Biosphere Reserve is one of the most well-preserved ricotta-wetland parts throughout the Danube, which UNESCO included in the World Biosphere Reserve list in 2017. On the eastern border of Serbia, where the Danube is the deepest, there is the beautiful national park, Đerdap. The lonely mountain in the picturesque Vojvodina plain, and also the oldest national park in Serbia, Fruška Gora, is known for its breathtaking slopes, century-old forests, vineyards, and the wellknown Fruška Gora monasteries. Try the famous Fruška Gora wine, bermet (unique in the world, the bermet desert wine comes from Sremski Karlovci and people say that bermet wine was served on the Titanic) and ausbruch, (sweet, strong and aromatic, ausbruch is an authentic wine of Srem), with recipes handed down from generation to generation.

Continue further along the Danube and taste the wines from the Serbian capital or a unique white wine from Smederevo, where the ancient Romans cultivated grapes. Or travel to eastern Serbia and taste the wine made from an autochthonous type of black incense that is grown exclusively in the Negotin Krajina, not far from Đerdap.

Pair the unique Serbian wines with local specialties and discover why the very basin of the Danube is considered an important gastronomic centre and one of the best wine producing areas in Europe.

Probajte čuvena fruškogorska vina, bermet (jedinstveno u svetu, desertno vino bermet dolazi iz Sremskih Karlovaca i govori se da su ga služili na Titaniku) i ausbruh (slatkasto, snažno i aromatično, ausbruh je autentično sremsko vino), čiji se recepti prenose s generacije na generaciju.

ODMOR U PRIRODI I AKTIVNI ODMOR – VRATITE SE KUĆI U BOLJOJ FORMI NEGO KAD STE OTIŠLI!

Odmor ne mora uvek da podrazumeva obilazak dinamičnih gradskih destinacija ili uživanje u posećivanju kulturnih znamenitosti. Ponekad nam je potrebno da aktiviramo svoje telo kako bi se naš um odmorio od neprestanog rada koji mu nameće moderan način života. I zato većina nas koristi svaku priliku da pobegne u neke mirne, pitome predele gde možemo da biramo da li smo raspoloženi za laganu šetnju proplancima i livadama, ili za fizički zahtevnije penjanje uz strme planinske staze.

Ukoliko vam pešačenje ili planinarenje ne istroše svu energiju, odnosno ako ste za malo više adrenalina, naše brze neukroćene reke koje jure kroz duboke kanjone, idealne su za istraživanje kajakingom ili raftingom, dok na velikim mirnim rekama možete krstariti brodovima ili učestvovati u regatama.

S planinskih visova u toplijim mesecima može vam biti zanimljivo spuštanje biciklom ili paraglajderom do cvetnih livada u dolini. Pećine, jame i kanjoni u našoj zemlji svojim brojem i raznovrsnošću predstavljaju pravi izazov za istinske istraživače i avanturiste – ove očaravajuće prirodne tvorevine uvešće vas u jedinstveni podzemni svet pružajući vam uzbuđenje, zabavu, a i prostor da naučite nešto novo.

Caves, gorges and canyons in Serbia, are numerous and the diversity will present a real challenge to true trailblazers and adventurers. These enchanting natural creations will bring you to a unique underground world providing excitement, fun, peace, and space to learn something new.

ZLATIBOR. For more than 125 years, the Zlatibor Mountain has been attracting the attention of guests since the King’s Fountain has been built there. The arrival of King Aleksandar Obrenović in 1893 to the town of Kulaševac (today’s Zlatibor), which was then renamed Kraljeve Vode (King’s Waters), is considered to be the official beginning of the tourism industry in Zlatibor, and this fountain was erected there to commemorate the King's visit. Numerous natural wonders of the area include Stopića cave, Prerast in Dobroselica and Gostilna waterfall, which is 20 metres high. Zlatibor has many well-organised walking paths as well as marked cycling routes, so you can also visit this mountain, and surrounding locations like Mokra Gora – which is the pearl of this region and a great starting point for getting to know the history of this magical place.

Visitors should not bypass the village of Sirogojno, known for knitters whose skill is renowned all over the world – so much so, you will find a museum to honour the tradition. Sirogojno is also the open-air museum – an old village, which depicts life in Zlatibor at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

ZLATIBOR. Već više od 125 godina, Zlatibor privlači pažnju gostiju, od kada je tamo sagrađena Kraljeva česma. Dolazak kralja Aleksandra Obrenovića 1893. godine u grad Kulaševac (današnji Zlatibor), koji je tada preimenovan u Kraljeve Vode, smatra se zvaničnim početkom turizma na Zlatiboru, a ova česma je podignuta u čast kraljeve posete. Prirodni spomenici kojima se Zlatibor najviše diči su Stopića pećina, Prerast u Dobroselici i Gostiljski vodopadi visine 20 metara. Zlatibor je proglašen vazdušnom banjom.

Na Zlatiboru postoje brojne uređene staze za hodanje, kao i obeležene biciklističke staze, tako da na efikasniji način možete obići i ovu planinu, i okolne lokacije poput Mokre gore – koja predstavlja biser ovog kraja i odlična je polazna tačka za upoznavanje s ovdašnjom istorijom.

Ne treba zaobići ni selo Sirogojno, poznato po pletiljama čije je umeće poznato širom sveta, i zarad koga je i osnovan ovaj muzej. U Sirogojnu se nalazi i Muzej na otvorenom „Staro selo” koji svedoči o načinu života na Zlatiboru krajem 19. i početkom 20. veka. ŠARGAN – MOKRA GORA. Jedan od bisera zapadne Srbije je Mokra gora, dolina na koju se nadovezuje Šarganski prevoj – prirodna spona između planina Tare i Zlatibora. Ako se nađete na Mokroj gori, obavezno je morate obići starom železnicom – Šarganskom osmicom. To vam je jedinstvena prilika da osetite kako se nekad putovalo planinskim krajevima Srbije, ali i da prirodne lepote Mokre gore sagledate iz drukčijeg ugla.

ŠARGAN – MOKRA GORA. One of the pearls of western Serbia is the Mokra Gora, a valley which connects the Tara and Zlatibor mountains. If you find yourself in Mokra Gora, you must definitely travel by the old railway – the Šargan Eight. This is your unique opportunity to go back in time to experience how locals once travelled to the mountainous regions of Serbia, but also to see the natural beauty of Mokra Gora from a very different angle.

Very close to the Mokra Gora station is the hill Mećavnik and the settlement of Drvengrad – the idea for which was conceived by the famous director, Emir Kusturica.

TARA NATIONAL PARK. The highest peaks of Tara reach over a thousand meters above sea level, and the rivers Drina, Rača, Brusnica, and Derventa additionally contribute to its beauty. From Tara’s viewpoints (Banjska and Bilješka Stena, Osluša, Sjenič), nature is shown in all its magnificence and invigorates the ghosts of ancestors who once worshiped it religiously and bowed to its power.

They offer a view of the emerald greenery of Lake Perućac and the mighty canyon of the Drina River, the Rac's Monastery and enchanting scenery from fairy tales.

THE GORGE OF THE RIVER UVAC. The river Uvac, situated between Zlatar and Zlatibor mountains and the cities of Nova Varos and Sjenica, is best known for its amazing meanders. Best experienced from a boat or a kayak or from one of the viewing points from which you get a truly magnificent view of the mesmerizing meandering river. The slopes of the gorge offer a labyrinth of caves. The reserve is also known as the habitat of a very rare species of Griffon vulture, one of the 140 species of birds that live in the wild area of the natural reserve.

It is best to visit Uvac Gorge in the summer season when nature is calm and welcoming and its beauty comes to full life. Visits are permitted only with the assistance of professional guides, who will take you through magical Uvac through marked paths, which cover over 30 kilometres.

CULTURE – COME IMMERSE YOURSELF!

The rich cultural heritage of Serbia is of great importance when understanding not only European but also the world’s spirituality and culture. Traces of prehistoric culture found at the site Lepenski Vir dating back from the period of 7,000 years B.C. The culture of Lepenski Vir has over time replaced the Neolithic cultures of Starčeva and Vinča. Located at the very border of the Roman Empire, Serbia is a country on whose territory some important battles for the expansion of the empire have been fought to increase dominance, but also for its survival. This is evidenced by the numerous remains of towns and roads that were created during more than six centuries of Roman rule in this region. Noteworthy also, is that no less than 16 Roman emperors were born in the territory of Serbia.

Due to the great importance of archaeological sites which provide an understanding of Roman culture and history, Roman sites from Serbia are

NACIONALNI PARK TARA. Najviši vrhovi Tare dostižu i preko hiljadu i po metara nadmorske visine, a reke Drina, Rača, Brusnica i Derventa dodatno doprinose njenoj lepoti. S Tarinih vidikovaca (Banjska i Bilješka stena, Osluša, Sjenič) priroda se prikazuje u svoj svojoj veličanstvenosti i priziva duhove predaka koji su je nekada religiozno obožavali i klanjali se njenoj snazi. S njih se pruža pogled na smaragdno zelenilo jezera Perućac i moćan kanjon reke Drine, manastir Raču i očaravajuće i bajkovite pejzaže.

Tara je, sa svojih blizu trista kilometara obeleženih planinarskih staza, pravi raj za ljubitelje prirode. Biciklističke staze u Nacionalnom parku Tara dostupne su tokom svih meseci i godišnjih doba.

KANJON UVCA. Reka Uvac, smeštena između Zlatara i Zlatibora i Nove Varoši i Sjenice, najpoznatija je po svojim zadivljujućim meandrima. Najbolje ju je doživeti iz čamca ili kajaka ili sa nekog od vidikovaca odakle se pruža istinski veličanstven pogled na ovu fascinantnu reku i njene meandre.

Padine klisure sadrže čitav lavirint pećina. Ovaj rezervat je poznat i kao stanište vrlo retke vrste, beloglavog supa, jedne od 140 vrsta ptica koje žive u divljini ovog rezervata prirode.

Kanjon Uvca je najbolje posetiti tokom leta, kada je priroda mirna i prijatna, i kada njena lepota u potpunosti oživljava. Posete su dozvoljene samo u pratnji profesionalnih vodiča, koji će vas provesti kroz magični Uvac obeleženim stazama dugim preko 30 kilometara.

KULTURA – DOĐITE I PREPUSTITE SE!

Bogato kulturno nasleđe Srbije od velike je važnosti za razumevanje evropske, ali i svetske duhovnosti i kulture. Tragovi praistorijske kulture pronađeni na lokalitetu Lepenski Vir, koji datiraju iz perioda 7.000 godina pre nove ere, doneli su ovom arheološkom nalazištu nadimak – kolevka Evrope.

Kulturu Lepenskog Vira s vremenom su zamenile neolitske kulture Starčeva i Vinče. Locirana na samoj granici rimskog carstva, Srbija je zemlja na čijoj su se teritoriji nekada vodile važne borbe za širenje imperije ali i za njen opstanak. O tome svedoče i brojni ostaci gradova i puteva koji su nastali u više od šest vekova vladavine Rimljana ovim prostorima, ali i veliki broj rimskih imperatora koji su rođeni na teritoriji Srbije – ni manje ni više nego njih 16!

Zbog velikog značaja arheoloških nalazišta za razumevanje rimske kulture i istorije, rimski lokaliteti iz Srbije našli su se na kulturnoj ruti Saveta Evrope, dok su ostaci velelepne rimske palate Feliks Romulijana upisani na Uneskovu listu svetske kulturne baštine.

Duhovni i kulturni život srednjevekovne Srbije odvijao se u okviru crkve, zbog čega brojni pravoslavni manastiri predstavljaju najvažnije spomenike ove epohe. Izgrađeni u periodu od 12. do 17. veka, dobro očuvani i bogato ukrašeni nekim od najlepših fresaka tog vremena, srpski manastiri predstavljaju važan deo ne samo srpskog, već i svetskog kulturnog nasleđa.

Zbog velikog kulturno-istorijskog značaja, tri manastirska kompleksa (Stari Ras sa Sopoćanima, manastir Studenica i skup manastira na Kosovu i Metohiji) upisani su na Uneskovu listu svetske kul-

THE COLLECTION

found on the cultural route of the Council of Europe, while the remains of the magnificent Roman palace of Felix Romuliana have been inscribed on UNESCO's list of world cultural heritage sites.

The spiritual and cultural life of medieval Serbia took place within the church, which is why many Orthodox monasteries are the most important monuments of this era. Built in the period from the 12th to the 17th century, well preserved and richly decorated with some of the most beautiful frescoes of that time, Serbian monasteries represent an important part, not only of Serbian but also of world cultural heritage.

Due to its great cultural and historical importance, three monastery complexes (Stari Ras with Sopoćani, Studenica), and a set of monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija are inscribed on UNESCO's list of world cultural heritage sites.

Medieval Serbian monasteries were important centres of education and culture and in the toughest times, were guardians of the national identity of the Serbian people. There are more than two hundred monasteries in Serbia, of which 54 were proclaimed cultural monuments, and several medieval Serbian sanctuaries are protected internationally.

Belgrade offers its own distinctive appeal. Besides enjoying a reputation as an all-year round party city, Belgrade will leave you speechless when it comes to a city break, with a chance to explore its rich culture, history, scenery, exquisite gastronomy and amazing people.

Belgrade will seduce you and whet your appetite for more on each visit and each time you will take so much away whilst leaving a part of your heart in our wonderful capital city.

Being a city that doesn’t sleep, the best time to explore Belgrade and its tenacious cheerfulness that makes it one of Europe's most happening cities, is during the spring and summer. Since the spring is also nature’s way of saying ‘LET THE PARTY BEGIN’; summer is a time of warm nights where you will feel the excitement in the air.

10 RAZLOGA ZBOG KOJIH ĆETE ZAVOLETI BEOGRAD OVOG PROLEĆA/LETA 2019.

Bajkovit, otvoren, veseo, uzbudljiv, ponosan, bogat kulturom, odvažan – veličanstven grad nadaleko poznatog noćnog života, nemirnog duha i romantične duše – sve je to naš Beograd!

Smešten na mestu gde se spajaju Sava i Dunav, reke koje svedoče o bogatoj i burnoj istoriji i evoluciji grada prepunog tragova vekovnih tradicija i kulture, Beograd je uspeo da zadrži svoj neobuzdani duh i postane istinsko oličenje savršenog spoja Istoka i Zapada.

Beograd nudi sasvim prepoznatljiv šarm. Osim što važi za grad u kom zabava traje tokom čitave godine, Beograd će vam oduzeti dah kao city break destinacija, zahvaljujući svojoj kulturnoj ponudi, bogatoj istoriji, očaravajućim pejzažima, izuzetnoj gastronomiji i divnim ljudima.

We love our Belgrade and we know you will too.

SPRING – WHEN THE EARTH LAUGHS WITH FLOWERS!

We love Belgrade in spring. The city shakes off the winter blues and turns on the spring, with blooming Belgrade being a sight to behold. The hibernation of the cold winter is over and locals spill out onto the streets at the first sight of spring buds.

Here are the top 5 reasons why to love Belgrade in the spring.

1. THE PARKS COME ALIVE!

Although the name implies that Belgrade is a white city (Beo-white, grad-city), Belgrade is actually a very green metropolis with 65 parks that cover over 385 hectares of land, with many tucked in beautiful corners of the city centre. The city’s ‘lungs’, our parks, are the ideal respite from the busy city and offer diverse attractions other than their immaculate beauty – monuments & picturesque fountains, picnic spots, sports and recreational trails, winding walking paths and lakes, which

veselosti, koja ga čini jednim od gradova s najviše zbivanja u Evropi, svakako je s proleća i leta. Proleće je doba kada nam priroda poručuje: „NEKA ZABAVA POČNE“, a leto karakterišu vrele večeri kada uzbuđenje prosto lebdi u vazduhu. Čak je i čuveni američki časopis „Vogue“ uključio Beograd na svoju listu manje poznatih destinacija koje se moraju posetiti tokom 2019. godine, opisujući ovaj zadivljujući grad kao mesto gde se „prošlost i sadašnjost stapaju u predivno, smelo, haotično i kontemplativno prostranstvo“.

Tim časopisa The Collection, Serbia izašao je na ulice i zamolio dobro obaveštene „lokalce“ da nam navedu glavnih 10 razloga zbog kojih ćete zavoleti Beograd ovog proleća i leta, a rezultati upravo slede.

Mi obožavamo svoj Beograd, a sigurni smo da ćete ga zavoleti i vi.

Fabulous, outspoken, lively, adventurous, proud, culturally vibrant, audacious – Belgrade is an exciting city with a widely recognised nightlife, a pulsating spirit and romantic soul – that makes our Belgrade!

PROLEĆE – KADA SE ZEMLJA SMEJE CVEĆEM!

Obožavamo Beograd u proleće. Grad tada otresa zimsku setu i navlači prolećnu zelenu boju, pa procvetali Beograd postaje prizor za divljenje. Zimski san je gotov i lokalno stanovništvo preplavljuje ulice pri prvom pojavljivanju prolećnih pupoljaka.

Evo pet glavnih razloga zbog kojih ćete zavoleti Beograd u proleće.

1. PARKOVI OŽIVE!

2. OUR GREEN MARKETS EXPLODE WITH COLOUR

Belgrade is actually a very green metropolis with 65 parks that cover over 385 hectares of land, with many tucked in beautiful corners of the city centre.

Belgrade is one of the few European cities that still maintains the beautiful tradition of having local farmers who come daily to the city's green-markets and sell fresh local products all year round. If you are willing to get familiar with or understand the essence of the city, visiting one of 30 green markets in Belgrade is a must. At this time of year, you will be fascinated by the variety of local and seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, where one can find many organic products exploding with colour. Palates are sure to be tickled by unforgettable flavours cured meat. For two years, Belgrade’s green-markets have become a place where successful events are organised, such as the Belgrade Night Market. To see the soul of Belgrade, a visit to one of our Green Markets will provide this unique opportunity. Strike up a conversation with a trader – for sure, somewhere nearby, someone will speak your language and be delighted to give you a warm welcome.

metropola sa 65 parkova koji se prostiru na preko 385 hektara zemljišta, a mnogi od njih su ušuškani u predivnim ćoškovima centra grada. „Pluća“ grada, naši parkovi, idealno su mesto za bekstvo od gradske vreve i nude raznovrsne atrakcije koje prate njihovu savršenu lepotu – tu su spomenici i slikovite fontane, mesta za piknik, tereni za sport i rekreaciju, duge staze za šetnju i jezera, što ih čini savršenim mestima za brzo „punjenje baterija“.

Neki od najpopularnijih parkova su: Tašmajdan, Pionirski park, Topčider, Čuburski park, Zemunski park, Košutnjak, Ada Ciganlija i Avala. Pronađite svoje utočište u hladu, izujte se, odmorite se i prošetajte po travi – tek ćete tada biti potpuno ispunjeni.

Beograd je jedan od malobrojnih gradova u Evropi u kojima se održala predivna tradicija svakodnevnog dolaska lokalnih zemljoradnika na pijace širom grada, na kojima prodaju sveže lokalne proizvode tokom čitave godine. Ako ste voljni da upoznate, odnosno shvatite suštinu grada, obavezno morate posetiti neku od 30 zelenih pijaca u Beogradu. U ovo doba godine, bićete oduševljeni raznovrsnom ponudom svežeg lokalnog i sezonskog voća i povrća, kao i mnogih organskih proizvoda sjedinjenih u eksploziji boja. Obradujte čulo ukusa nezaboravnim aromama domaćih mlečnih i suhomesnatih proizvoda. Tokom protekle dve godine, beogradske zelene pijace postale su mesto održavanja uspešnih događaja kao što je Beogradski noćni market.

Regardless of whether you are in the old part of Belgrade or on its river banks, the first sign of spring will be heralded by the arrival of outdoor dining.

Dust off your mandatory sunglasses, and enjoy the cherished gastronomic pleasures of Belgrade.

Prvi nagoveštaj sunca u bašte prestoničkih restorana, kafića i kafana privlači brojne lokalce, kao i posetioce belog grada.

Lined along the banks of Belgrade’s rivers, around 300 rafts (called splavs or splavovi in local language), which are essentially floating river clubs, are a local treasure and contribute to the colour that is Belgrade and a one of a kind in Europe. Because of their exclusive nightlife, splavovi have become an internationally recognised cultural phenomenon and a symbol of Belgrade, lighting up the city’s summer night’s sky 7 days a week. Crowded with party goers, splavovi are the ultimate night-out destination for all music preferences featuring Serbian folk to world popular music (RnB, Tech House and Deep House). Every Splav tends to have a distinctive personality, and there is something for everyone.

Ovo je najbolje mesto u Beogradu tokom vrelih letnjih večeri.

So, that’s our Belgrade in spring and summer. To end, we draw upon the wise words of the British travel journalist from the last century which encapsulates the typical visitor experience…

“It usually happens that a traveller goes to a famous place expecting a lot, and leaves disappointed and down…But then again, I went to Belgrade not expecting anything – the decorations, the sights, not even the joy or anything interesting – and now I am a victim of its seductive charm, and I have to leave it with utmost pain. This is a new feeling: to fall in love with a city.” – Herbert Vivian.

Ova ekološka oaza, nedaleko od centra grada, najveći je sportski, rekreativni, kulturni i zabavni centar Beograda i sadrži preko 50 sportskih terena na otvorenom, nudi posetiocima mogućnost bavljenja adrenalinskim aktivnostima, wellness programe, zabavne programe, sadržaje za najmlađe i još mnogo toga. Tokom vrelih letnjih dana, Ada je nesumnjivo sjajan izbor za sunčanje i osveženje, uživanje u skijanju na vodi ili vožnji bicikla, kao i dnevne i noćne žurke u brojnim kafićima i baštama sa živom muzikom . Uskočite i pridružite se lokalcima na ovoj fantastičnoj lokaciji!

Takav je, dakle, naš Beograd tokom proleća i leta.

Na kraju ćemo navesti mudre reči britanskog putopisca iz prošlog veka, koji je još tada opisao tipičan doživljaj posetilaca Beograda… „Putnik obično ide na neko poznato mesto očekujući mnogo, a ode razočaran i izneveren… Ja sam, međutim, otišao u Beograd ne očekujući ništa – ni ukrase, ni prizore, ni radost, niti bilo šta interesantno – a sada sam žrtva njegovog zavodljivog šarma i napuštam ga, a osećam strašan bol. Ovo je za mene novo iskustvo: zaljubio sam se u grad.“ – Herbert Vivijan.

“WHAT DOESN’T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER”

A HERO IN SPORTS AND LIFE

@ FFBB

When her professional basketball career was heading toward stardom, Nataša suffered a severe life changing leg injury in a tragic traffic accident in 2013.

Some of our readers will perhaps hear for the first time about the incredible life story of this brave and tenacious young lady, Nataša Kovačević, but it will certainly leave no one indifferent, after getting to know Nataša. A young, talented and promising basketball player, Nataša could serve us all, as an example of unimaginable tenacity and skill - keeping spirit bright in extreme adversity.

hen her professional basketball career was heading toward stardom, Nataša suffered a severe life-changing leg injury in a tragic traffic accident in 2013. Although life seemed to stop at that moment, Nataša chose not to lose heart and despair, but, by the strength of sheer will and positive energy, she went on to new victories, conquering life itself. Shortly after the operation, Nataša managed to delight the world the first time - she managed to get onto the basketball court hopping on one foot, where she made a professional comeback only 26 months after the accident. The recovery, including adjusting to her prosthetic leg, was excellent. She did not stay away from the basketball court, but, to everyone’s surprise, started playing basketball professionally again.

In the period after the accident, Nataša was named a FIBA Europe Youth Ambassador, won the ‘Pierre de Coubertin - Sport as a School of Life’ award. But the desire to help young athletes and give her support during the challenging times inspired her to

"Ono što nas ne ubije, čini nas jačim".

Heroina sporta i života Nataša Kovačević Neki od naših čitalaca će prvi put čuti neverovatnu životnu priču ove hrabre i istrajne mlade dame, ali ova priča zasigurno nikoga neće ostaviti ravnodušnim. Mlada, talentovana i perspektivna košarkašica Nataša Kovačević mogla bi nam svima služiti za primer nesagledive upornosti i veštog održavanja vedrog duha u iznimnim teškoćama.

Nataša je u trenutku kad je njena profesionalna košarkaška karijera išla ka samim zvezdama u saobraćajnoj nesreći 2013. godine izgubila potkolenicu. Iako se činilo da je život stao, Nataša je odabrala da ne posustaje i ne očajava, već snagom volje i pozitivne energije koje joj nimalo ne manjka, krenula je u nove pobede, ovog puta životne. Ubrzo nakon operacije Nataša je uspela prvi put da šokira svet - skakućući na jednoj nozi, izašla na košarkaški teren, na koji se takmičarski vratila nakon svega 26 meseci od nesreće. Oporavak je tekao odlično, baš kao i navikavanje na protezu, a od košarkaškog terena se nije udaljavala, već je na iznenađenje svih košarku ponovo zaigrala profesionalno.

establish the Natasha Kovačević Foundation.

If there is something for which Serbia is known for in the world, it certainly is exceptional people and the athletes, and for this reason, we share with you this story about the fighting spirit, courage, valour, determination, strength and energy of our extraordinary Nataša Kovačević, from whom we can all learn a lot.

She has been in love with basketball ever since she was a little girl, and already at the age of 19 she was a proud member of all the youth selections of Serbia’s national basketball team. A major traffic accident showed that life chose a somewhat different path for her, but that despite all the hardships, she draws her strength from the support of the people who stand by her. So, in October 2015, with the support of FIBA EUROPE and FFBB (French Basketball Federation), a sport prosthesis was made in Paris for Nataša, designed so that she could continue her dream on the court. Already in March of that year Nataša played a humanitarian match together with French and European basketball stars in Angers to help fulfil the dreams of sick children.

Later, in November, she made a comeback to professional basketball in her club Crvena Zvezda and played the match in the First Women's Basketball League of Serbia against Student from Niš.

She was the President of the Female Basketball Club Crvena Zvezda, and in 2017 she became a member of the ‘Women and Sports’ Commission, of the Serbian Olympic Committee.

SERBIA

Nataša je u periodu nakon nesreće ponela titulu ambasadorke mladih u asocijaciji FIBA Europe, dobitnica je priznanja „Pierre de Coubertin - Sport kao škola života“, ali želja da pomogne mladim sportistima i pruži ruku podrške u vremenu izazova inspirisalo ju je da osnuje Fondaciju „Nataša Kovačević“.

Ako je po nečemu Srbija prepoznatljiva u svetu, to su nenadmašni ljudi i vrhunski sportisti i upravo iz tog razloga sa vama delimo ovu priču o borbenosti, upornosti, hrabrosti, srčanosti, odlučnosti, snazi i energiji sjajne Nataše Kovačević, od koje možemo mnogo toga naučiti.

Od malena je zaljubljena u košarku, a već sa devetnaest godina bila je ponosni član svih mlađih selekcija nacionalnog košarkaškog tima Srbije. Teška saobraćajna nesreća pokazala je da život za nju bira malo drugačiji put, ali i da uprkos svim teškoćama njena snaga leži u podršci ljudi koji stoje uz nju.

Tako je u oktobru 2015, uz podršku FIBA EVROPE i FFBB (Francuske košarkaške Federacije ), u Parizu Nataši napravljena sportska proteza dizajnirana tako da ona može da nastavi svoj san na parketu.

Već u martu te godine Nataša je igrala zajedno sa francuskim i evropskim košarkaškim zvezdama u Anžeu humanitarnu utakmicu za ispunjenje snova bolesne dece, a novembra se vratila u takmičarsku košarku u dresu svog kluba Crvena Zvezda i odigrala utakmicu Prve ženske lige Srbije protiv Studenta iz Niša. Bila je predsednik KKŽ Crvena Zvezda, a 2017. godine postaje i član komisije „Žene i sport“ Olimpijskog komiteta Srbije.

If there is something for which Serbia is known for in the world, it certainly is exceptional people and the athletes, and for this reason, we share with you this story about the fighting spirit, courage, valour, determination, strength and energy of our extraordinary Nataša Kovačević, from whom we can all learn a lot.

Achievements are small victories that fade over time.

The path to these victories (or, more importantly, to defeats) is what truly moluds a character and this path represents the essence of life.

Q. Sandra Vlatković - The Collection, Serbia: Can you tell us about your early childhood, about your growing up, especially in a sports family like yours, and the role your parents had in setting up your life path?

A. Nataša Kovačević: I grew up in a sports mad family, so the main topic in our home has always been sport, especially basketball. Dad was a handball player, while Mum, a basketball devotee, won the European Champions Cup in 1979, playing for Crvena Zvezda. I spent most of my time on the basketball court in front of our building with my brother, who is eight years older than me.

From my dad, I inherited feistiness and optimism, while my mother has always been the one who led me to find the balance in my life, as a key to happiness. Still today, my brother Ivan is the person to whom I turn for every advice, because I am certain that he fully understands me, and his experience provides me with a solid support whenever necessary.

As a teenager you represented Serbia in all youth categories before you signed the first contract as a professional player in 2013. What can you tell us about your achievements and your favorite sports memories from that period of your life?

I do not like to talk too much about achievements. Achievements are small victories that fade over time. The path to these victories (or, more importantly, to defeats) is what truly moulds a character and this path represents the essence of life. Sport has given me a lot of things - shaping my character, taught me life lessons, brought me enduring friendships and left behind so many beautiful memories.

The period until 2013 was unbelievable in terms of my playing career - it brought many successes, and hinted at an even brighter future. Still, life likes to put up obstacles in our way to test us. It is up to us to just resist, to do our best and to draw lessons from each situation and every set of circumstances in which we find ourselves.

Your basketball career had been heading toward stardom before the tragic accident in 2013. At what point did you decide that this event would not define you and that you would go back to play basketball a few years later?

As I have already mentioned, life often puts up many tests before us, but we must not allow hard lessons to alienate and define us. This has been my attitude ever since the accident. I have to admit that my comeback to the court did not feature in my plans at all. The priority was that, in the moments when I lost my balance, to find the strength and a way to restore equilibrium in my life, both physically and mentally. My family and friends played a very important role in this and I will always be grateful for the support they have given me. Coming back to play basketball was my attempt to show people that nothing is impossible, that the boundaries are there to be pushed and that we can achieve anything if we want it enough. It was difficult to get back onto the court because I knew that I would not be able to perform at the same level of playing. It was difficult to face this reality. If my coming-back motivated at least one person and if it sent a message that nothing was impossible, then it was worth it.

Urednik The Collection, Serbia: Možete li nam reći nešto o vašem ranom detinjstvu, načinu odrastanja, pogotovo u sportskoj porodici kao što je Vaša, kao i o ulozi koju su vaši roditelji imali u postavljanju vašeg životnog kursa?

Nataša: Odrasla sam u sportskoj porodici, tako da je glavna tema u kući oduvek bio sport, a posebno košarka. Tata je bio rukometaš, dok je mama u dresu Crvene zvezde osvojila Kup Šampiona Evrope 1979. Uz brata, starijeg osam godina od mene, najveći deo vremena provodila sam na košarkaškom terenu ispred zgrade. Taj teren je za mene predstavljao ceo jedan svet. Govorilo se, a to je legenda koju pamtim još iz ranog detinjstva, da se na Banjici, izmedju pet solitera, igra najbolji basket u Srbiji. (Sigurna sam da klinci i u drugim krajevima grada pričaju slične anegdote za svoj kraj.) Kada sam imala sedam godina, dobila sam nadimak „EPP“ (ekonomsko propagandni program), jer sam minute na tom terenu krala tako što bih utrčavala u pauzama tih čuvenih basketa kako bih šutnula par puta na koš. Ovakav način odrastanja bio je, sa ove tačke gledišta, presudan za kreiranje moje ličnosti.

Naučila sam da se borim za svoje mesto na terenu, da strpljivo čekam priliku i da uvek pamtim koliko truda sam uložila da bih ostvarila svoje snove. Iako sam bila veoma mlada ove lekcije ostale su za ceo život.

Oduvek sam bila i pomalo tvrdoglava, i bez izuzetka sam se trudila da sama biram svoj put. U mom usmeravanju presudnu ulogu imali su moji roditelji. Oni su moja sigurna luka i moj neiscrpan izvor pozitivne energije i snage. Od tate sam nasledila prodornost i optimizam, dok je mama bila i dalje je ta koja me navodi na pronalaženje balansa života kao ključa sreće. Večno sam joj zahvalna i za ljubav prema knjigama koju je prenela na mene, jer su dobre knjige prozori budućnosti. Ipak, najomiljeniji član porodice mi je brat Ivan. Vremenom, kroz odrastanje, uspeli smo da pravaziđemo razliku u godinama i da u otvorenim razgovorima zajedno maštamo i savetujemo jedno drugo kroz sve izazove koje život sa sobom nosi. I danas je on osoba kojoj se okrećem za svaki savet, jer sam sigurna da me u potpunosti razume, a njegovo iskustvo pruža mi čvrst oslonac uvek kada je to potrebno.

Kao tinejdžerka predstavljali ste Srbiju u svim omladinskim kategorijama pre nego što ste potpisali prvi ugovor kao profesionalni igrač 2013. godine. Šta biste mogli da nam kažete o svojim dostignućima i najdražim sportski uspomenama koje nosite iz ovog perioda života?

Ne volim preterano da pričam o dostignućima.

Dostignuća su sitne pobede koje vremenom izblede. Put do tih pobeda (ili važnije poraza) je ono što je istinski kreira karakter i na tom putu je suština života. Sport mi je doneo zaista mnogo toga. Oblikovao je moj karakter, naučio me je životnim lekcijama, doneo mi je jaka prijateljstva i ostavio je za sobom puno lepih uspomena. Period do 2013. godine je bio neverovatan u pogledu igračke karijere, doneo je mnoge uspehe i nagoveštavao još svetliju budućnost. Ipak, život voli da postavlja prepreke i da nas stavlja na iskušenja. Naše je “samo” da se odupremo, da damo sve od sebe i da izvučemo pouke iz situacije i spleta okolnosti u kojem se nalazimo.

Basketball and sport continue to play an important role in your life. Can you tell us about your activities after your playing career including your Foundation?

I'm constantly trying to make progress and to improve myself. For this reason, I like to accept new challenges. The Foundation was established in 2013, immediately after the accident. I had incredible support from the public during my recovery, so I am very happy to be in a position, that I am now able to help someone else. The Foundation deals exclusively with athletes and the promotion of sports. Financing the Foundation, of course, is very difficult, but we are doing what we can. We have had some fantastic campaigns that I’m proud of. My goal has been clear from the very start - if we can help at least one person, or if just one little child begins to play sports thanks to the work of the Foundation, my mission is successful. I have become FIBA Youth Ambassador since 2014, which is a great pleasure for me. I am currently employed at the Basketball Federation of Serbia and studying for a master’s degree in the UK.

Vaša karijera u košarci krenula je ka zvezdama pre tragične nesreće 2013. godine. U kom trenutku ste odlučili da Vas taj događaj neće definisati i da ćete se vratiti košarci nekoliko godina kasnije?

Kao što sam već napomenula, život često pred nas stavlja razna iskušenja, ali ne smemo da dozvolimo da nas teške lekcije otuđe, definišu i određuju.

To je bio moj stav od momenta kada se nesreća desila. Moram da priznam da povratak na parket uopšte nije bio u planu. Prioritet je bio da, u trenucima kada sam izgubila balans, pronadjem pravi oslonac i način da svoj život vratim u ravnotežu. Tu su porodica i prijatelji imali veoma važnu ulogu i večno ću im biti zahvalna na pruženoj podršci. Vraćanje košarci bio je moj pokušaj da ljudma pokažem da ništa nije nemoguće, da su granice tu da bi se pomerale i da čovek može da postigne sve ukoliko to dovoljno želi. Bilo je teško vratiti se na parket jer sam znala da neću moći da budem na istom igračkom nivou. Teško je bilo i suočiti se sa tom realnošću. Ako je taj čin povratka motivisao barem jednu osobu i ako je poslao poruku da ništa nije nemoguće, onda je vredelo…

Our modern life presents young people with many challenges. What kind of advice would you give to the teenagers who struggle to overcome, what to them might seem insurmountable problems? They call you a “tenacious and courageous girl” - how much does your story serve as a support to young athletes and all other people who are faced with the severe trauma that you have experienced?

Košarka i sport i dalje igraju važnu ulogu u vašem životu. Možete li nam reći o svojim aktivnostima nakon igranja uključujući Vašu fondaciju?

Trudim se da konstatno napredujem i da nadogradjujem sebe. Iz tog razloga volim da prihvatam nove izazove. Fondacija je osnovana 2013. neposredno posle saobraćajne nesreće. Imala sam neverovatnu podršku javnosti u toku svog oporavka, tako da sam presrećna što sam sada u mogućnosti da i ja pomognem nekome. Fondacija se bavi is-

My goal has been clear from the very start - if we can help at least one person, or if just one little child begins to play sports thanks to the work of the Foundation, my mission is successful.

I really do not think that I will ever have enough years and wisdom to give advice to people. It is important that we realize that each one of us is special and unique. Each life story carries with it challenges, problems and difficult moments. In those moments, we should understand the burden of choice and make our decisions so that we can become stronger, more experienced and wiser. Defeats are nothing more than lessons, which are an integral part of every story about winning.

Nataša’s inspirational life story is featured in the documentary “The Leap”, which is in the final stage of shooting.

Authors, director Ivica Vidanović and screenwriter Aleksandar Miletić, with the support of the Basketball Federation of Serbia and the French Basketball Federation, together with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), will bring to the screen, a touching story about how Nataša Kovačević who rallied and got back on her feet, starting to play basketball actively again with a smile on her face.

The film also highlights the SerbianFrench friendship, which in basketball goes back to 1948, when a Frenchman was the head coach of the Yugoslav national team, Henry Hell.

The film will show Nataša’s efforts to erect a monument to this friendship in Mali Kalemegdan, and in honour of our basketball team that qualified for the first World Cup in Buenos Aires in 1950.

ključivo sportistima i promocijom sporta. Finansiranje fondacije, naravno, ide veoma teško, ali se borimo. Imali smo fantastičnih akcija i ponosna sam na to. Na sajtu fondacije www.natasakovacevicfoundation.com možete videti šta smo postigli i kome smo sve pomogli. Moj cilj je od samog starta jasan - ukoliko uspemo da pomognemo makar jednoj osobi ili ako neko malo dete počne da se bavi sportom zahvaljujući radu fondacije, moja misija je uspešna. Od 2014. sam postala ambasador FIBA za mlade što mi predstavlja veliko zadovoljstvo. Trenutno sam zaposlena u Košarkaškom savezu Srbije i na master studijama sam u Velikoj Britaniji.

Naš savremeni život donosi mnoge izazove mladima. Kakav savet biste dali tinejdžerima koji se možda bore da prevaziđu ono što im se može činiti nepremostivim problemima? Zovu Vas i „devojkom upornosti i hrabrosti“, te koliko ste svojim primerom podrška mladim sportistima i svima drugim ljudima, koji se nađu suočeni sa teškom traumom kakva se Vama dogodila?

Zaista ne mislim da ću ikada imati dovoljno godina i mudrosti da savetujem ljude. Važno je da shvatimo da je svako od nas poseban i jedinstven.

Svaka životna priča sa sobom nosi izazove, probleme i teške trenutke. U tim trenutcima trebalo bi da razumemo teret izbora i da svoje odluke donosimo kako bi postali snažniji, iskusniji i mudriji. Porazi nisu ništa više od lekcija, koje su sastavni deo svake pobedničke priče.

O Natašinoj inspirativnoj životnoj priči govori i dokumentarni film "Skok", koji je u završnoj fazi snimanja. Autori, reditelj Ivica Vidanović i scenarista Aleksandar Miletić, uz podršku Košarkaškog saveza Srbije i Košarkaškog saveza Francuske, kao i Međunarodne košarkaške federacije (FIBA), pretočiće na filmsko platno dirljivu priču o tome kako je Kovačevićeva ponovo stala na noge i kako je uz osmeh čak i aktivno zaigrala košarku.

Film priča i o srpsko-francuskom prijateljstvu, a koje u košarci seže još od 1948. godine, kada je Francuz bio selektor Jugoslavije. To prijateljstvo traje do današnjih dana i postoji prisna veza srpske i francuske federacije, koja je aktivno pomagala u oporavku i novom Natašinom početku.

Film će prikazati Natašine napore da se na Malom Kalemegdanu podigne spomenik tom košarkaškom prijateljstvu, a zapravo našoj košarkaškoj ekipi koja se kvalifikovala na prvo Svetsko prvenstvo u Buenos Ajresu 1950. godine.

Tu ekipu trenirao je Francuz Anri Hel, a bila je sastavljena od igrača večitih rivala – Crvene Zvezde i Partizana. Sam spomenik se simbolično nalazi između otvorenih košarkaških terena Crvene zvezde i Partizana, gde je skinuta ograda, čime se šalje još jedna dublja poruka.

“First of all, I have to thank all the clubs in which I developed as a player. I made my first steps playing at OFK Titograd under the guidance of coaches Šanjo Ljumovic and Brano Milacic”.

Niša Saveljić is a renowned local and international football star and has gone on from his remarkable history on the pitch, to create a career internationally in real estate investments and development of a football academy in the US. Miodrag Spahić from The Collection, Serbia caught up with Niša to talk football, life post football, family and memories that will last a lifetime.

Q. Miodrag Spahić, The Collection, Serbia - You have matured fully as a player in Belgrade’s Partizan FC. How do you remember the time you spent in Partizan?

A. Niša Saveljić - First of all, I have to thank all the clubs in which I developed as a player. I made my first steps playing at OFK Titograd under the guidance of coaches Šanjo Ljumović and Brano Milačić, after which I went to Budućnost, where I worked with coach Ante Miročević. I made the first team under the late Stanko Poklepović, who was a supreme coach and educator, and, most of all, a remarkable human being. He was the one who, in essence, discovered my potential. He moved me to the position of defender, where I was able to flourish.

I came to Partizan after an excellent season in Hajduk from Kula. At that time, I had already been a fully fledged, national team player. The very invitation from Partizan was especially important. The club was managed by Žarko Zečević and Nenad

Ekskluzivni intervju Niša Saveljić, svetska fudbalska zvezda Niša Saveljić je čuvena lokalna i svetska fudbalska zvezda. Po završetku svoje izuzetne karijere na terenu, uspeo je da ostvari međunarodnu karijeru u oblasti investicija u nekretnine, nakon čega je razvio fudbalsku akademiju u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Miodrag Spahić iz časopisa The Collection, Serbia sreo se s Nišom i popričao s njim o fudbalu, životu, porodici, i uspomenama koje će trajati večno.

U FK Partizan iz Beograda ste dostigli svoju punu fudbalsku zrelost. Kako se sećate tog vremena provedenog u Partizanu?

Odgovor: Moram pre svega da se zahvalim klubovima u kojima sam stasavao kao igrač. U OFK Titograd sam počeo prve fudbalske korake pod vođstvom trenera Šanja Ljumovića i Brana Milačića, da bih nastavio u Budućnosti sa terenerom Antom Miročevićem. U prvi tim sam ušao kod sada pokojnog Stanka Poklepovića, koji je za mene bio vrhunski trener i edukator, ali pre svega čovek. On me je, praktično, otkrio. Usmerio me je na poziciju odbrambenog igrača na kojoj sam napredovao.

U Partizan sam došao posle odlične sezone u Hajduku iz Kule. Tada sam već bio oformljen igrač

Bjeković, and the coach was Ljubiša Tumbaković.

The feeling you get when you enter the stadium, the feeling which comes with being a part of such a family, results in a special type of motivation. My teammates and the coach wanted to create something comparable to the success of previous generations – to be the champions and set an example to all the fans, especially the children. To show them how a player representing a club as big as Partizan should behave and play.

Do you remember your first eternal derby against Red Star?

The Partizan versus Red Star derby was the crowning achievement of everything I had done up to that point. That feeling shall forever remain carved in my memory. My first derby was played at the Partizan Stadium, before a record-breaking crowd of 50,000 spectators. Three hours before the start of the match, the stadium was filled to capacity. I remember what the captain at the time, Goran Pandurović, had told me in the hotel before the match - “Savelja, the derby is something beyond words. If we win or if you score, you will be the main guy in the town!”. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. It was my first derby and I scored the equalizer. Those two seasons in Partizan, before leaving to Bordeaux, were very successful.

i reprezentativac. Za mene je sam poziv iz Humske bio poseban. Partizan su tada vodili Žarko Zečević, Nenad Bjeković i pre svega trener Ljubiša Tumbaković. Sam osećaj ulaska na stadion, osećaj da si deo jedne takve familije kao što je Partizan, stvorio je u meni posebnu motivaciju. Sa saigračima i trenerom želeli smo da napravimo nešto što su generacije pre nas uspevale- da budemo Šampion i ujedno primer svim navijačima, a posebno deci. Da im pokažemo kako bi trebalo da se ponaša i kako da igra jedan igrač koji predstavlja tako veliki klub, kao što je Partizan.

Sećate li se svog prvog večitog derbija protiv Crvene Zvezde?

Derbi Partizan - Zvezda je kruna svega što sam do tada radio. Taj osećaj ostaće mi urezan do kraja mog života. Prvi derbi i to na našem JNA stadionu, pred rekordnih 50 hiljada gledalaca. Tri sata pred početak utakmice stadion je bio ispunjen do poslednjeg mesta. Pamtim šta mi je tadašnji kapiten Goran Pandurović rekao u hotelu pred utakmicu: “Savelja, derbi je nešto što se ne može opisati. Još ako pobediš ili daš gol, u gradu si bog!”. Utakmica je završena nerešeno 2-2. Moj prvi derbi i gol za izjednačenje... Te dve sezone u Partizanu, do odlaska u Bordeaux bile su jako uspešne. Bio sam strelac još dva puta, osvojili smo sve titule i to je svakako neizbrisiv trag moje generacije u pobedama nad Crvenom Zvezdom.

The year 1998 was also special in your career.

In the 1998/99 season, you won the French league with Bordeaux, and you played for FR Yugoslavia in the World Cup in France. These achievements would be a highlight in any player’s career. Was 1998 the peak of your career?

Yes, it was. Playing for Bordeaux holds a special place in my heart. The link between the club and fans is indescribable, and, believe me, it still going strong today. My generation won the French league title after 30 years. Not even the generations with Zidane, Dugarry, Lizarazu, Deschamps managed to achieve this. My performances at Bordeaux were the basis for my selection for the France 1998 World Cup national squad, and later for the European Championship in the Netherlands and Belgium. My only regret is that, because of an injury I succumbed to during the friendly match against Japan, I was not in the starting 11 in the World Cup, together with Mihajlović.

After your career as a player, you started a new job with the same passion for success – you began investing in real estate. This was a new chapter in your life. How did you find yourself in this new role?

In my life, I have always followed my gut feeling, my intuition, which never failed me. I was tired after twenty years of professional football, and needed a rest in order to face new challenges. Challenges then came to me, and I saw a new opportunity.

Montenegro, in my opinion, is the ideal country for foreign investments, and it is a magnet for credible businessmen from my other country, France. Since then I have been actively involved in large projects

I 1998. godina je bila posebna u Vašoj fudbalskoj karijeri. U sezoni 1998/99, osvojili ste francusku ligu sa Bordeaux-om dok ste na reprezentativnom nivou igrali za SR Jugoslaviju na Svetskom prvenstvu u Francuskoj. Za svakog igrača ovo su dva velika dostignuća. Da li je 1998. godina bila vrhunac Vaše karijere?

Jeste. Igranje u Bordeaux ima posebno mesto u mom srcu. Ta veza sa klubom i navijačima je neopisiva, a verujte traje i do dan danas. Moja generacija je osvojila titulu prvaka Francuske posle 30 godina. To nije pošlo za rukom ni generacijama na čelu sa Zidanom, Dugarijem, Dešampom, Lizerazuom...Upravo moje igre u dresu Bordeaux su bile najbolja preporuka da se nađem na spisku selektora za Svetskog prvenstvo u Francuskoj 1998. godine, a kasnije i za Evropsko u Holandiji i Belgiji. Ostaje mi mali žal što zbog povrede koju sam zadobio na prijateljskoj utakamici sa Japanom, nisam bio u prvoj postavi na Svetskom prvenstvu u tandemu sa Mihajlovićem.

Nakon fudbalske karijere, sa jednakom strašću za uspehom, ušli ste u novi posao - investicije u nekretnine. To je bilo novo poglavlje u vašem životu, kako ste se snašli?

U životu sam se uvek rukovodio unutrašnjim osećajem, intuicijom, koja me nije prevarila. Bio sam umoran od dvadesetogodišnje profesionalne karijere i bio mi je potreban predah kako bih krenuo u nove izazove. Izazovi su sami došli i ja sam video šansu. Crna Gora je, prema mom mišljenju idealna država za strane investicije, te je bila i magnet za kredibilne ljude iz sveta biznisa moje druge zemlje, Francuske.

in Montenegro, utilizing my international contacts and experience, to deliver world class projects, with more to come.

In August 2017, you were appointed the executive director of Girondins de Bordeaux USA, a project which was the result of partnership between football clubs Bordeaux and Washington, D.C. Can you tell us more about this project?

After being awarded the UEFA A Licence and officially returning to football, I did not hesitate, and I left for America. As a top athlete, I easily received the green card and I was given the opportunity to work on developing soccer. I had an idea which came to fruition. A colleague of mine managed the women’s section of Washington DC under the name Only Girls 99. After the introduction of one of the most famous football brands, Girondins de Bordeaux, the team became more popular in America. In combination with hard work, great results followed. We now wish to develop a football academy, in agreement with the new owners of Girondins de Bordeaux - General American Capital Partners LLC, which is headed by Joseph DaGrosa, and Girondins de Bordeaux USA. I formed an excellent partnership with the company Misahara Jewelry, famous in the world of premium, sophisticated diamond jewellery. The brand is popular in Hollywood and celebrities readily wear their products. This unique company is headed by Lepa Galeb-Roskopp and her husband, Rob Roskopp. Rob is known internationally, particularly in the United States, as a major skateboard star, a former world champion. Misahara Jewelry developed the ‘Santa Cruz Syndicate’, a team which inSERBIA

U avgustu 2017. postali ste Izvršni direktor Girondins de Bordeaux USA, projekta koji je nastao kao rezultat partnerstva između fudbalskih klubova Bordeaux i Washington, D.C. Možete li nam reći više o ovom projektu?

Posle dobijanja UEFA A licence i zvaničnog povratka u fudbalske vode nisam se dvoumio, otišao sam za Ameriku. Kao vrhunski sportista, bez ikakvih problema, dobio sam Zelenu kartu i mogućnost razvijanja evropskog fudbala “soccer-a”. Ostvario sam svoju ideju. Moj kolega vodio je ženske selekcije u Vašingtonu pod imenom Only Girls 99.

Dovođenjem jednog od napoznatijih fudbalskih brendova Girondins de Bordeaux tim je u Americi postao popularniji. Kada se tome doda predan rad ne izostaju ni sjajni rezultati. Dalje ambicijie su razvoj fudbalske Akademije i to u dogovoru sa novim vlasnicima Girondins de Bordeaux - General American Capital Partners LLC na čelu sa Joseph DaGrosa i Girondins de Bordeaux USA. Sklopio sam sjajno partnerstvo sa kompanijom Misahara Jewelry, veoma poznatom u svetu vrhunskog sofisticiranog dijamantskog nakita. Brend je popularan u Holivudu i rado ga nose poznate ličnosti. Na čelu ove jedinstvene kompanije su Lepa Galeb-Roskop i njen muž Rob Roskop. Rob je u svetu, a pogotovo u Americi velika zvezda skejt borda, nekada šampion na svetskom nivou.

cludes the best mountain bikers, Cédric Gracia and Greg Minnaar. They developed a worldwide brand, and since they want to broaden their participation in sports, they decided to add soccer to the Misahara Santa Cruz Syndicate. We found common ground and are ready to improve their position in the future, through cooperation between Girondins Bordeaux, Girondins Bordeaux USA and Misahara.

This will be a strong basis for the creation of a major Academy, which will improve our image and place us in a good position before the FIFA World Cup in America, Mexico and Canada in 2026.

Family obligations are surely on the top of your priorities. How do you manage balancing your business career, travelling and family?

To be honest, I am used to it. I have conveyed this to my children, who have adapted to this system at a very young age and I can say that they enjoy it.

They also live separately, in different parts of the world, and I believe that this is very important for their future and establishing contacts. We agree about things along the way and see each other when we make arrangements.

Your daughter Silvana has been building her own business career in Porto Montenegro, and your son Nicolas is a professional water polo player. Were you surprised by his decision to follow his dreams in the pool and not on the pitch?

Silvana and Nicolas are my motivation for everything I do. I am proud that they have become fine adults while growing up with me and my ex-wife Dijana. I am not surprised by Silvana’s successful start in business. She set her goals high back when she was living with me, in the Cambridge High School in Bordeaux. She graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in Dubrovnik. Working in an internationally recognised company such as Porto Montenegro, and being very successful at what she does, is certainly commendable. She has a lot to learn from her colleagues in such a position, and this will be useful for her further career. As for

Cedric Garcia i Greg Minnar. Napravili su i razvili brend poznat širom sveta, a s obzirom da žele da šire spektar sportova, odlučili su da Misahara Sindikate Santa Kruz brendu priključe i fudbal-soccer. Našli smo zajednički jezik i spremni smo da u budućnosti napravimo što bolju poziciju, i to kroz saradnju Girondins Bordeaux, Gironins Bordeaux USA i Misahara. To će biti jaka baza za stvaranje velike Akademije, doneće nam još bolji imidž i dobru poziciju za Svetsko prvenstvo u fubalu u Americi, Meksiku i Kanadi 2026. godine.

Naravno da su porodične obaveze prve na listi prioriteta. Kako uspevate da izbalansirate poslovnu karijeru, putovanja i porodicu?

Iskreno navikao sam.To sam preneo i na decu, koja su se već kao mladi navikli na takav sistem, i mogu da kažem da im prija. I oni žive odvojeno i na različitim stranama sveta, a ja verujem da je to jako važno za njihovu budućnost i kontakte. Dogovaramo se u hodu i vidimo se kada se sve uskladi. Ćerka Silvana uspešno gradi poslovnu karijeru u Porto Montenegro-u u Crnoj Gori, a sin Nicolas se profesionalno bavi vaterpolom. Da li Vas je iznanadila njegova odluka da svoje snove sledi u bazenu, a ne na zelenoj podlozi?

Silvana i Nicolas su moj motiv i pokretači za sve.

Ponosan sam što su uz mene i uz moju bivšu suprugu Dijanu, stasali u prave ljude. Iskreno, Silvaninim uspešnim poslovnim početkom nisam iznenađen.

Ona je svoje standarde postavila još kad je živela sa mnom, još u srednjoj školi Cambridge u Bordeaux.

Završila je Rochester Američki Univerzitet u Dubrovniku. Raditi u jednoj međunarodno priznatoj kompaniji kao sto je Porto Montenegro i još to raditi sa velikim uspehom, svakako je za veliku pohvalu. Od kolega na takvom mestu svakako ima šta da nauči, a to će joj poslužiti kao osnov za dalje napredovanje u karijeri. Što se Nicolasa tiče, on je napravio krupan korak za svoju budućnost. Na poziv trenera, otišao je na jedan od najboljih univerziteta u Americi UCLA i dobio punu stipendiju. Tamo već

THE COLLECTION

Nicolas, he made a huge step in the right direction for his future. He was invited by his coach to go to one of the best universities in the United States, UCLA, and received a full scholarship there. He has been playing and studying there for two years, which is opening major opportunities in sports and in business. He is used to the American system of life and work, and I would have nothing against it if he played for the US national team. I was honestly not surprised by his decision to pursue water polo, since his mother was also an excellent swimmer.

You have lived in many beautiful cities around Europe. What is your favourite city, and where would you rather live?

That is the most difficult question. Honestly, I always react to the energy of different cities. I have been around the world, and each city I visited was beautiful in some way or other. I am fascinated by the United States. The system, speed and quality of life has a special charm, and allows you to use all of your potentials in the best possible way. The sky is the limit, and unlike here, there is literally no jealousy or envy. I honestly love coming to Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, but only for a short while. I would highlight my Bordeaux, a city with which I have an emotional connection – my son was born there. This is where I became the champion of France, and they have the finest wines. I also love Paris, New York, Silicon Valley, and in our region, Kotor, Tivat-Porto Montenegro, and, of course, the beautiful Dubrovnik. I have to mention the Croatian coast, which I love, mostly the island of Korčula. Belgrade holds a special place in my heart, as a place where I spent amazing moments, formed lifelong friendships, and I always love coming back.

Do you see yourself as a football coach in the future?

Why not? Football offers many opportunities. I am planning to continue my education in the Football Association of Serbia, and to reach a UEFA PRO A License, after the UEFA A License.

You had a very successful career and played for big clubs. What are your most precious memories from your career as a player?

There was a reason behind every period of my career in different clubs. They certainly impacted my development into a mature, stable person, and a top athlete and player. I hold dearest my debut in Budućnost from Titograd, my titles with Partizan, and I am happiest that I won the French league with Bordeaux, and that I participated in the World Cup and European Championship with Yugoslavia.

drugu godinu igra i studira, a to mu otvara velike mogućnosti i u sportu i u biznisu. On se navikao na sistem života i rada u Americi, tako da ne bih imao ništa protiv i da zaigra za američku reprezentaciju.

Iskreno me nije iznenadilo njegovo opredeljenje za vaterpolo, jer mu je i majka bila vrhunski plivač. Živeli ste u mnogim lepim gradovima širom Evrope. Koji je Vaš omiljeni grad, a gde bi ste naradije živeli?

Uh, to je najteže pitanje. Iskreno energertski reagujem na gradove. Obišao sam svet i svaki grad u kome sam bio je na svoj način lep. Fasciniran sam Amerikom. Sistem, brzina i kvalitet življenja daje posebnu draž, omogućava vam da sav svoj potencijal iskoristite na najbolji mogući način. Nebo je granica, a ljubomore i zavisti, kao kod nas, bukvalno nema. Iskreno volim da dođem u Crnu Goru, Srbiju, Hrvatsku, ali samo na kratko. Ipak bih izdvojio moj Bordeaux za koji sam emotivno vezan - sin mi je tu rođen, tu sam postao prvak Francuske, imaju najbolja vina. Volim i Pariz, Njujork, Silicon Valley i kod nas Kotor, Tivat-Porto Montenegro i naravno predivni Dubrovnik. Neću da preskočim ni moju omiljenu hrvatsku obalu, a pre svega Korčulu. U mom srcu posebno mesto ima Beograd, u kom sam proveo sjajne momente, stekao neraskidiva prijateljstva i kom se rado vraćam.

Da li se vidite u budućnosti kao trener fudbalskog kluba?

Zašto da ne. U fudbalu su velike mogućnosti. Planiram da u FS Srbije nastavim edukaciju, da posle UEFA A licence, dobijem i UEFA PRO A. Imali ste vrlo uspešnu karijeru i igrali ste za velike fudbalske klubove. Koje su najdragocenije uspomene iz Vaše fudbalske karijere?

Svaki period moje igre u različitim klubovima imalo je svoje zašto i zato. Oni su svakako uticali da stasam prvo u zrelog, stabilnog čoveka, pa u vrhunskog sportistu i igrača. Najdragocijeniji mi je moj prvi debi u dresu Budućnosti iz Titograda, zatim titule sa Partizanom, a najdraže mi je što sam u dresu Bordeaux osvojio titulu prvaka Francuske, ali i učešće na Svetskom i Evropskom prvenstvu sa Jugoslavijom.

Ko vam je najveća podrška?

Najveću podršku, osim moje dece, imao sam od moje majke Desanke i sestre Irene kao i njene porodice. Uz mene je bio i uzak krug prijatelja.

Who is your biggest supporter?

In addition to my children, my biggest supporters include my mother Desanka, and my sister Irena, as well as her family. There has always been a close circle of friends around me.

Luštica Bay is an ideal location to discover all the country has to offer, and a little something new too…

t might be within easy reach of three major airports and just a stone’s throw from the UNESCO world heritage Bay of Kotor, but the new residential town and boutique resort of Luštica Bay feels worlds away. Bordered by verdant rolling hills and dipping its toes into crystal-clear Adriatic waters, it’s located along the vivid beauty of the Luštica peninsula where it’s carving out an exceptional way of life.

A life that combines the gentle traditions of Montenegrin coastal living with state-of-the-art contemporary facilities and a sustainable future. Finedining, superb shopping, world-class golfing and yachting, and five-star service, all converge to create the ultimate luxury riviera experience for guests and residents alike. A haven as diverse and exciting as it is tranquil and soothing to the soul.

Last year, it opened its new Marina Village. Set on the waterfront, in the heart of town, the Marina Village echoes the small hamlets that dot the Montenegrin coastline. Encompassing a new marina, The Chedi hotel, and a charming waterfront promenade of shops, restaurants, and lifestyle outlets, it has become the lifeblood of the town. A stylish harbour

LUŠTICA BAY DOŽIVITE CRNU GORU NA VIŠEM NIVOU Centar novog života na obali Jadrana Crna Gora je možda mala, ali bogatstva su joj brojna: sunčev sjaj tokom čitave godine, burna istorija, bogata kultura i divlja lepota pejzaža koji oduzima dah - od planina u unutrašnjosti do čarobne raznovrsnosti obale. Luštica Bay je idealna lokacija sa koje je moguće otkriti sve što ova zemlja već nudi, ali i ponešto potpuno novo i sasvim drugačije…

Iako se do novog stambenog naselja i butik turističkog kompleksa Luštica Bay lako stiže sa tri velika aerodroma, i mada je nadomak Bokokotorskog zaliva koji je pod zaštitom Uneska, Luštica Bay ipak deluje kao svet za sebe. Oivičena zelenim padinama, spušta se u kristalno čisto Jadransko more, tik uz nezaboravnu lepotu poluostrva Luštica, i nudi jedan posve izuzetan način života. Život u ovom naselju predstavlja kombinaciju prijatne tradicije crnogorskog primorskog duha sa najmodernijim sadržajima i održivom budućnošću.

Its promenade offerings champion local talent, bringing authentic Montenegro to Luštica Bay, with restaurants serving up seasonal, local dishes and shops that combine world-renowned brands with local designs and one-of-a-kind treasures.

In July, Luštica Bay’s first hotel, The Chedi Luštica Bay, also opened its doors. Set on the waterfront of the Marina Village, the hotel sets the scene for a new holiday experience. Nowhere else will you find the unique combination of The Chedi’s discreet luxury and service alongside Montenegro’s natural warmth and authenticity. It embraces the Montenegrin saying: Samo Polako – to slow down and live in the here and now.

There are plenty of ways to do exactly that, from soaking up the sun at the outdoor infinity pool, to enjoying delicious food in the restaurants, or replenishing with Asian-inspired treatments in the spa. The interiors only add to the sense of calm, filled with light and reflecting the colours and movements of the ocean. Sea views take centre stage throughout and there’s nowhere better to enjoy them than from your own private terrace (all rooms come with one).

Prošle godine, u okviru Luštica Bay-a zaživelo je novo Marina naselje. Smešteno na samoj obali, u srcu grada, Marina naselje podseća na brojna seoca kojima je posuta crnogorska obala. Sa novom marinom, hotelom The Chedi i šarmantnom promenadom uz obalu, prepunom radnji, restorana i sofisticiranih konceptualnih lokala, novo naselje postalo je žila kucavica grada. Ova luka sa stilom mesto je na kom se održavaju brojni društveni događaji i savršena je za uživanje u prepoznatljivim pogledima sa Luštice uz čašu crnogorskog vina.

Na promenadi su u najvećoj meri zastupljene lokalne vrednosti, što donosi autentični crnogorski doživljaj u kompleks Luštica Bay, s restoranima koji služe sezonska, lokalna jela, i prodavnicama u kojima se prepliću svetski poznati brendovi sa lokalnim dizajnerima i jedinstvenim dragocenostima.

U julu svoja vrata je otvorio i prvi hotel u Luštici Bay, The Chedi Luštica Bay. Smešten na obali Marina naselja, ovaj hotel će biti odredište za jednu sasvim novu vrstu odmora. Ovo je jedina lokacija koja može ponuditi tako jedinstvenu kombinaciju diskretnog luksuza i usluge koje garantuje brend The Chedi, uz prirodnu crnogorsku toplinu i autentičnost. The Chedi hotel oličenje je crnogorskog pristupa životu: Samo polako – treba usporiti i živeti sada i ovde.

It offers a range of services and facilities, as well as 24-hour yacht assistance to help sailors on their way.

With one of the world’s most beautiful sailing spots at their fingertips - there’s much to explore.

Mighty mountains and placid waters, ancient routes to the historic towns of the Bay of Kotor, waterfront Konoba restaurants, natural coves and hidden caves all await discovery, while the coasts of Croatia, Italy and Greece are but a short sail away.

Whatever the adventure, Luštica Bay will be there on your return: a place to re-centre and reconnect; somewhere not to pass the time, but to live every moment the Montenegrin way.

The Chedi Luštica Bay hotel is Montenegro’s new five-star retreat, and yet, it feels as if it has always been here, snuggled into the verdant Luštica peninsula between blue sky and an even bluer Adriatic sea.

As Luštica Bay’s first and highly-anticipated hotel it has also added a glamorous dimension to town life. Set on the water’s edge and full of local character, The Chedi Luštica Bay resort is an alluring mix of barefoot luxury and modern sophistication.

PORTONOVI Montenegro Essence Porast uticaja Crne Gore kao jedne od najpopularnijih turističkih destinacija u Evropi je nesporan. Decenijama je ova zemlja bila skriveni dragulj blagotvorne evropske obale, zadržavajući tako određenu mističnost, dok su za njenim peščanim obalama tragali samo neustrašivi avanturisti i izletnici koji su čuli za njenu lepotu.

Tokom juna 2019. godine biće otvoren Portonovi, turističko naselje koje će postati jedno od najprestižnijih na Mediteranu. Prigodno smešten na ulazu u Bokokotorski zaliv, koji pripada svetskoj baštini, Portonovi je zanosno naselje na obali mora ušuškano u predelu izuzetne prirodne lepote gde se planine veličanstveno uzdižu iz smaragdnog mora – u pitanju je savršeno mesto za otkrivanje bogatstava Crne Gore.

Porast zainteresovanosti iz različitih zemalja širom sveta već svrstava Portonovi među najtraženija odredišta za stanovanje i odmor na Mediteranu. Portonovi će pružati najbolju uslugu, luksuz koji nije nametljiv, kao i sadržaje svetskog ranga, uključujući najveću marinu u Crnoj Gori kojom će upravljati međunarodno priznata kompanija D-Marin, a sadržaće i prvi hotel One&Only u Evropi.

Herceg Novi is the only place where Nobel prize winner Ivo Andrić decided to settle and build a home, which is today a modern museum that hosts literary events throughout the summer. Every year, it announces the first flower of spring with the “Mimosa Festival’ and it has its own film festival.

To introduce the grand Portonovi opening, DMarin Portonovi Montenegro Marina will welcome its first yacht-owners this spring. D-Marin Portonovi Montenegro Marina will play host to superyachts wishing to explore the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Dalmatian coasts. Equipped with the latest features for vessels up to 70 meters and a berthing capacity of 238, and up to 120 metres on the marina’s outer piers, the marina offers all the mod cons; and for those who don’t fancy queues - its own customs entry. D-Marin Portonovi Marina will serve as the stopover of choice for charter vessels on passage within the Adriatic and central Mediterranean.

Aside from the variety of services provided to its clients, Marina Management team will devote special attention to customer relations and high level of services. Becoming a part of D-Marin Group, clients will have special set of benefits when they choose D-Marin Portonovi marina as their home port, considering the D-Marin World offer through which clients are earning free-stay days in other DMarin marinas.

Portonovi je smešten u Herceg Novom, prelepom srednjovekovnom gradu žive pomorske i trgovačke prošlosti. Ovaj grad još uvek obitava u nostalgičnim sećanjima mnogih posetilaca iz regiona koji su tamo provodili leta u detinjstvu, a ujedno je i jedan od najtoplijih gradova na Jadranu: njegova mikroklima garantuje oko 240 sunčanih dana godišnje, a odlikuje se i bujnom vegetacijom i veličanstvenim pogledima na more. Vekovima je privlačio pisce i umetnike iz različitih civilizacija. Herceg Novi je jedino mesto gde je dobitnik Nobelove nagrade Ivo Andrić odlučio da se skrasi i skući, a njegova je kuća danas savremeni muzej u kom se odvijaju književni događaji tokom čitavog leta. Svake godine, u gradu se proslavlja prvi prolećni cvet na Prazniku mimoze, a grad organizuje i svoj filmski festival.

U čast svečanog otvaranja Portonovog, D-Marin Portonovi Montenegro Marina će pozdraviti prve vlasnike jahti ovog proleća.

While it is often said that great minds think alike, the phrase is especially pertinent when applied to two pioneering engineers from Denmark whose life-long working relationship developed into one of the most innovative partnerships in the consumer electronics industry.

orn in 1900, Peter Bang grew up in an era of great technological advances and a strong belief in progress. During these exciting times, another man, born in Quistrup Manor close to Struer, Denmark, had a similar passion for working with innovative technology. Together, they worked on discovering and understanding the latest ideas and technology of the time and from there, Bang & Olufsen was born.

Realising the strength of their partnership and shared commitment, Bang & Olufsen was established on 17th November 1925 in Copenhagen and has grown to be widely recognised as the most prestigious consumer electronics company in the world, combining outstanding performance, timehonoured craftsmanship and cutting-edge design.

BANG & OLUFSEN Pomeranje granica tehnologije i dizajna Često se kaže da veliki umovi slično razmišljaju, ali ova rečenica ima poseban značaj kada se primeni na dva inovativna inženjera iz Danske, koji su celog života radili zajedno i čije je partnerstvo postalo jedno od najkreativnijih u industriji potrošačke elektronike.

Peter Bang je rođen 1900. godine i odrastao je u doba velikog tehnološkog napretka i jake vere u progres. Istovremeno, Svend Olufsen, rođen na imanju Kvistrup, u blizini grada Struera u Danskoj, osećao je sličnu strast prema radu s inovativnim tehnologijama. Zajedno su otkrivali i razumevali najnovije ideje i tehnologije svog vremena, pa se iz njihovog partnerstva rodio brend Bang & Olufsen.

Iz potrage za zajedničkom strašću, rodilo se partnerstvo.

Shvativši kakvu snagu imaju njihovo partnerstvo i zajednička posvećenost, osnovali su firmu Bang & Olufsen u Kopenhagenu 17. novembra 1925. godine, koja je stasala do pozicije svetski prepoznate najprestižnije kompanije u oblasti potrošačke elektronike, najpre zahvaljujući kombinaciji izuzetnih performansi, dugovečnoj izradi, i modernom dizajnu.

BEOLAB 50 - EMERGING DIRECTLY FROM THE PRESTIGIOUS AND INNOVATIVE BEOLAB 90

The extraordinary performance of BeoLab 50 has gained from the uncompromising acoustic research and technological development of BeoLab 90 and shares several features with this iconic landmark loudspeaker.

With Acoustic lens technology, Beam Width Control and Active Room Compensation, BeoLab 50 is the ultimate active loudspeaker that lets you experience music in your home exactly that way the artist intended.

BEOVISION ECLIPSE – THE ULTIMATE TV EXPERIENCE

The first TV developed by Bang & Olufsen and LG Electronics in partnership, while merging LG Electronics’ OLED TV technology for delivering absolute black and ‘infinite’ contrast ratio with high dynamic range “Sound is more than half the picture”. These words are at the heart of Bang & Olufsen’s identity and the BeoVision Eclipse is a reflection of the design and supreme acoustics associated with Bang & Olufsen.

BEOLAB 50 – DIREKTNI NASLEDNIK PRESTIŽNOG I INOVATIVNOG ZVUČNIKA BEOLAB 90

Izuzetne performanse zvučnika BeoLab 50 postignute su na osnovu beskompromisnih istraživanja zvuka i tehnološke naprednosti zvučnika BeoLab 90, pa novi model ima mnoštvo zajedničkih odlika sa ovim legendarnim zvučnikom.

Budući da raspolaže tehnologijama kao što su akustično sočivo, kontrola širine zvučnog snopa i aktivna kompenzacija prostorije, BeoLab 50 je ultimativni aktivni zvučnik koji vam omogućava da iskusite muziku u svom domu baš onako kako su je muzičari i osmislili.

Ove reči čine osnovu identiteta kompanije Bang & Olufsen, a BeoVision Eclipse je nesumnjivo odraz dizajna i vrhunske akustike za koju se Bang & Olufsen vezuje.

ences as well as noise reducing properties. The individual honeycomb shaped tiles can be arranged and scaled in virtually endless variations – giving you full control of both performance and appearance. If you find yourself battling with poor indoor acoustics, incorporating sufficient acoustic damper tiles will address the issue in a truly design-friendly way. On the other hand, those looking for a serious sound statement can design a custom solution with plenty of speaker tiles. In fact, BeoSound Shape can support a whopping 44 speaker setup in one system. And then there’s the music itself! Rather than optimizing sound for a single fixed position, the speaker system cleverly utilizes a setup with multiple speakers to deliver a concert-like perception of singer and instruments – no matter the listening position. The patented algorithm behind it all is aptly named “Band on the Wall” as it delivers a truly social sound stage similar to having ‘the band’ perform right there in the room.

Here, the digital Configuration Tool lets you design a pattern, try out different colours and finally define a personal sound profile.

BEOSOUND SHAPE

BeoSound Shape je modularni i visoko fleksibilni sistem bežičnih zvučnika firme Bang & Olufsen, koji primenjuje iznenađujuću i inovativnu kombinaciju zvučnika, pojačala i prigušivača u jedinstveno rešenje koje istovremeno nudi društveno muzičko iskustvo, ali i mogućnosti smanjenja buke. Pojedinačne pločice u obliku saća mogu se kombinovati i rasporediti u bezbroj varijanti – što vam daje potpunu kontrolu nad performansama i izgledom. Ako imate problem sa lošom akustikom u zatvorenom prostoru, uključivanje dovoljnog broja pločica prigušivača zvuka će rešiti ovo pitanje, i to na prelepo dizajniran način. S druge strane, oni koji traže ozbiljan zvuk, mogu da osmisle sopstveno rešenje sa velikim brojem pločica koje sadrže zvučnike. BeoSound Shape može da podrži neverovatna 44 zvučnika u jednom sistemu. A tu je i muzika! Umesto da optimizuje zvuk za jednu, fiksnu poziciju, sistem zvučnika pametno koristi postavku sa više zvučnika kako bi pružio doživljaj pevača i instrumenata kao da ste na koncertu – bez obzira na poziciju slušaoca. Patentirani algoritam u osnovi svega nosi adekvatan naziv „Bend na zidu“ i garantuje pravu pozornicu koja čini da se osećate kao da vam bend svira u sobi. Ljubitelji muzike koji polažu i na dizajn mogu da stvore sopstveni BeoSound oblik na sajtu bangolufsen.com. Alat za digitalnu konfiguraciju vam daje mogućnost da osmislite šablon, isprobate različite boje i na kraju definišete sopstveni zvučni profil.

Ispod spoljašnjosti ćete pronaći skriveni motor koji isporučuje pozamašnih 480 vati sirove, ali rafinirane snage kroz sistem pojačala digitalne D klase sa odvojenim pojačalima za svaku od 5 ugrađenih jedinica zvučnika, uključujući i impresivni vufer od 8 inča koji garantuje da ćete osetiti bas kada se začuje.

His name is Predrag Vuckovic, ˇ ´ he comes from Belgrade, and is a world-class and globally renowned extreme photographer.

The projects he works upon are unlike anything even the most creative Hollywood cimenatographers could devise – working on the ground, in the air, and underwater.

In his photographs, he not only turns usual into unusual, but phenomenal sights into spectacular ones, and completely justifies the title of extreme photographer. His name is Predrag Vučković, he comes from Belgrade, and is a world-class and globally renowned extreme photographer. The Collection, Serbia had the privilege to get to know Predrag and see his work up close and we are delighted to share what we discovered with our readers.

P

redrag turned photography from a hobby into a profession, in which he has managed to achieve a salubrious career. He usually shoots extreme sports, but this is not the only mode that makes him an extreme photographer. He is an extreme photographer because of his lifestyle and the specific way in which he takes his pictures. Predrag is a pioneer in some of the adrenaline sports in the region of ex-Yugoslavia, and his background in these sports not only helped him leave a unique and recognisable mark on his photos, but also gave him a unique advantage compared, to other photographers.

UPOZNAJTE SVET EKSTREMNOG FOTOGRAFA Predrag Vučković: Uvek u potrazi za savršenom fotografijom Projekti na kojima radi ne bi pali na pamet ni najmaštovitijim holivudskim scenaristima, njegovo radno okruženje su i zemlja i voda i vazduh. On svojim fotografijama ne pretvara obične momente u neobične, već fenomenalne momente u spektakularne i u potpunosti opravdava naziv Extreme Photographer. Reč je o Beograđaninu Predragu Vučkoviću, fotografu svetskog renomea.

Fotografiju koja mu je bila hobi pretvorio je u profesiju u kojoj je izgradio blistavu karijeru. U njegovom objektivu najčešće su ekstremni sportovi, ali on nije ekstremni fotograf samo zbog toga, već i zbog svog životnog stila i specifičnog načina na koji pravi fotografije. Vučković je pionir nekih od adrenalinskih sportova na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije, a poznavanje tih sportova ne samo da mu je pomoglo da svojim fotografijama da jedinstven i prepoznatljiv pečat, već mu je dalo prednost u odnosu na druge fotografe.

His fantastic photographs are a result of his talent, experience and knowledge on the one hand, and his vision, painstaking preparation and dedication on the other.

“My biggest advantages are my experience and special skills which allow me to reach locations other photographers cannot. I am always exercising, I practice free climbing, diving and skiing, which is why for me it is no problem to overcome inaccessible terrains and locations for photography even with my photographic equipment” Predrag explains.

His fantastic photographs are a result of his talent, experience and knowledge on the one hand, and his vision, painstaking preparation and dedication on the other.

“When we talk about a project which had been planned in advance, the procedure is clear – I first check and explore the location, talk to the athlete and explain how I envisaged the photo session, while also talking to all others included in the project. However, in most cases we have no time for planning, since extreme sports are remarkably spontaneous, and people who are not familiar with them cannot foresee what an athlete will do next, which is where my experience and background in these sports come into play” – he adds.

He has been the official photographer for Red Bull for 13 years, and has pictured more than 500 sports events in 72 countries, during that time. He has shot some of the most important moments in the history of extreme sports, with Felix Baumgartner’s space jump being the highlight. Predrag is ready to go above and beyond for a good photograph – literally and figuratively – of course, taking into account his own safety and the safety of the athlete. He had the opportunity to photograph exclusive events in specific locations which are out of reach for most people, such as the Antarctic. This was one of the

- Moja najveća prednost su iskustvo i posebne veštine koje mi omogućavaju da dospem do lokacija do kojih drugi fotografi ne mogu. Konstantno treniram, bavim se penjanjem, ronjenjem i skijanjem zbog čega mi nije problem da čak i sa foto opremom savladam teško pristupačne terene i lokacije za fotografisanje - objašnjava Vučković.

Fantastične fotografije rezultat su njegovog talenta, iskustva i znanja sa jedne strane, ali i vizije, dobre pripreme i posvećenosti sa druge.

- Kada je u pitanju unapred planiran projekat, onda je procedura jasna - prvo proverim i istražim lokaciju, razgovaram sa sportistom i objasnim mu kako sam zamislio da uradimo to fotografisanje, a takođe razgovaram i sa svim drugim akterima koji su uključeni u projekat. Ipak, u većini slučajeva nemamo vremena za planiranje, a ekstremni sportovi su izuzetno brzi i oni koji ih ne poznaju ne mogu da predvide šta će sportista sledeće da uradi i baš tu do izražaja dolazi moje iskustvo i poznavanje tih sportova - dodaje on.

Već 13 godina je zvanični fotograf Red Bulla za koji je fotografisao više od 500 sportskih događaja u 72 zemlje. U njegovom objektivu našli su se neki od najznačajnijih momenata u istoriji ekstremnih sportova, među kojima posebno mesto zauzima stratosferski skok Feliksa Baumgartnera. Za dobru fotografiju spreman je da ide daleko - bukvalno i figurativno - naravno, vodeći računa o svojoj i bezbednosti sportiste. Imao je priliku da fotografiše eksluzivna dešavanja na specifičnim lokacijama koje su nedostupne za većinu ljudi, kao na primer Antarktik. To je ujedno i jedan od najizazovnijih projekata na kojima je radio jer je ekspedicija trajala 30 dana, a na Antarktiku ih je čekala 24-časovna THE COLLECTION

most challenging projects he worked on, as the expedition lasted for 30 days, facing 24-hour daylight, a temperature of -30 degrees Celsius, and a snow and ice-covered landscape, participants recalled feeling as though they were on another planet.

Predrag is always on the lookout for unique shots and sights never seen before, and the final result leaves the viewers breathless. This is confirmed by the fact that his photos literally travel all around the world, since being published in more than 500 international magazines and all of the world’s press agencies; some of them even featuring in museums.

With the rise of social networks, Predrag now has a true army of fans.

“It is increasingly difficult to find inspiration these days, and it is hard to create something with a wow effect, but I am always trying to approach photographs in a different way. Particularly when it comes to projects with repetitive locations, like in the Red Bull series. I always try to change the place where I stand, the lens, or the angle of shooting, since it is imperative for the photo to be different.

This is not always easy, as is the case when I shot the famous Red Bull Cliff Diving series – diving which takes place in Mostar. This is a small location, and it is difficult to make new photos that are different from the previous. This is where technology comes in, as well as underwater casings and drones, which allow me to get shots which had never been seen before” says Predrag. People often ask if what they see is real or photoshopped and question how he even manages to take such shots.

For years, he has been shooting the Red Bull Air Race Championship, which could be described as Formula 1 in the air, where airplanes reach the SERBIA

obdanica, temperatura od -30 stepeni, ledom i snegom okovan ambijent zbog kog su imali osećaj kao da su na drugoj planeti.

Predrag je uvek u potrazi za unikatnim kadrovima i prizorima kakvi ranije nisu viđeni, a krajnji rezultat ostavlja bez daha. Tome u prilog ide činjenica da su njegove fotografije bukvalno obišle svet, objavljene su u više od 500 svetskih magazina i u svim svetskim novinskim agencijama, a dospele su i do muzeja. Sa pojavom društvenih mreža Vučković je stekao pravu armiju fanova.

- Sve je teže naći inspiraciju u današnje vreme i teško je napraviti nešto što će imati wow efekat, ali ja se uvek trudim da kreiram fotografije na drugačiji način. Posebno kada je reč o projektima gde se

He has been the official photographer for Red Bull for 13 years, and has pictured more than 500 sports events in 72 countries, during that time.

World renowned motor stunt driver Rok Bagoroš sets his tyres on fire during a performance, causing an adrenaline rush, as witnessed in the photograph.

This photograph, that Peđa is particularly proud of, shows the multiple world champion in freestyle aquabike. This was a moment very difficult to capture, showing what was going on under and above the water, at the same time.

speed of 240 km/h make relatively low flights and conduct death defying stunts. He shoots Air Races from a helicopter, which is an additional challenge, but after spending more than 500 hours in a helicopter, he has perfected this kind of shooting.

“Special training is required to take pictures in the air. I have a completely different perspective of everything, and I do not shoot nature, which is static, but airplanes which fly around, which makes things much more difficult. In such situations, it all comes down to foreseeing where the pilot will fly, predicting his next move, where you should wait for him, how you should place your helicopter. It is not easy to take a picture of a moving object and get a sharp photo. For me, this is a great challenge and I enjoy it, since I have the opportunity to fly with the best helicopter pilots, including Felix Baumgartner, who is a very good friend, and we have been through a lot in the air”, says Predrag.

When he wishes to get away from the speed and action, Vučković finds inspiration underwater, where everything is peaceful and quiet. He has more than 20 years of diving experience and over 2000 hours spent underwater.

I can hardly imagine diving without a camera.

In underwater photography, everything is different. The thing that especially motivates me is that the photos never look the same. Water creates oneof-a-kind situation. I love split level photos which I combine with sports and athletes and unusual angles. Nobody is indifferent when they see these photos” the extreme photographer tells us.

We should also mention that he has dived with

lokacije ponavljaju, kao kod nekih Red Bullovih serija. Uvek se trudim da promenim mesto na kome stojim, objektiv ili ugao iz kog ću fotografisati, jer je imperativ da fotografija bude drugačija. To nije uvek lako, na primer kada fotografišem Red Bull Cliff Diving - skokove u vodu u Mostaru. Reč je o maloj lokaciji i teško je napraviti fotografiju različitu od neke prethodne. Tu u pomoć priskaču tehnologija, podvodna kućišta i dronovi zahvaljujući kojima dobijem kadrove koji nikada pre nisu viđeni - kaže Vučković u čije fotorafije ljudi često gledaju u neverici pitajući se da li je ono što vide stvarno ili fotošop i kako je uopšte uspeo da napravi takav kadar.

Godinama unazad fotografiše Red Bull Air Race šampionat, koji bismo ukratko mogli da opišemo kao vazdušnu Formulu 1, gde avioni pri brzini od 240 km/h prave relativno niske prelete izvodeći akrobacije. Vučković Air Race fotografiše iz helikoptera što je dodatni izazov, ali je on nakon više od 500 sati u helikopteru - takvo fotografisanje doveo do savršenstva.

- Potreban je poseban trening za fotografisanje iz vazduha. Sve posmatram iz skroz drugačije perspektive, pritom ne fotografišem prirodu koja je statična, već avione koji lete, što znatno otežava celu stvar. U tim situacijama se sve svodi na predviđanje gde će pilot da proleti, sa koje strane da ga sačekaš, kako da namestiš helikopter… Nije lako uslikati nešto u pokretu i dobiti oštru fotografiju.

Za mene je to veliki izazov i uživam u njemu jer imam priliku da letim sa najboljim pilotima helikoptera, među kojima je i Feliks Baumgartner koji THE COLLECTION

sharks, under ice and took pictures of sunken ships.

With his organisation ‘Extreme Canyoning’, he works on the popularisation of canyoning and the development of outdoor tourism in the Balkans.

“Extreme Canyoning is the only organisation which aims to popularise canyoning as a sport. In the beginning, my team and I, were the only ones discovering the canyons. We explored locations where only few people had been. I took pictures of these fantastic locations and tried to use the photographs to bring this intact nature and waterfalls closer to the people. Such things were unimaginable, since such locations used to be out of reach of most people. In time, people started asking to join me in going to the canyons, so we began to organise commercial tours. However, for us this is not about making money, and our offer is not for the masses.

I usually say that being in such an environment is a privilege, and therefore, this activity is also only for the privileged. Before undertaking canyoning with my team, guests undergo special training, and I am sure that going through canyons is an unforgettable experience for them,” says Predrag.

Due to the nature of his job, he often flies from one part of the world to the other, not only changing time zones, but seasons as well. Add the time he spends on airports, in airplanes, and in hotels, and you will see that this life tempo is a kind of extreme sport in itself. Still, Predrag is always up to the task, and this requires a careful selection of projects that he works upon.

mi je jako dobar prijatelj i dosta toga smo zajedno prošli u vazduhu - priča Predrag.

Kada želi da pobegne od brzine i akcije, Vučković inspiraciju traži pod vodom, gde je sve mirno i tiho, za razliku od adrenalina na kopnu. Ima više od 20 godina ronilačkog iskustva i preko 2000 sati pod vodom.

- Gotovo mi je nezamislivo da zaronim bez fotoaparata. Kod fotografisanja pod vodom je sve drugačije, a ono što me posebno motiviše je što nikada fotografije neće izgledati isto. Voda kreira neponovljive stvari. Volim split level fotografije koje kombinujem sa sportovima i sportistima i neuobičajenim uglovima. Niko ne ostane ravnodušan na te fotografije - kaže ekstremni fotograf.

Pomenućemo i da je ronio sa ajkulama, pod ledom i fotografisao potopljene brodove. Sa svojom organizacijom Extreme Canyoning radi na popularizaciji kanjoninga i razvoju outdoor turizma na Balkanu.

- Extreme Canyoning je jedina organizacija koja radi na popularizaciji kanjoninga kao sporta.

U početku sam u kanjone išao samo ja sa mojom ekipom, istraživali smo lokacije u koje retko ko je imao priliku da uđe. Ja sam fotografisao te fantastične predele i kroz fotografije pokušao ljudima da dočaram tu netaknutu prirodu i vodopade koje ni u mašti nisu mogli da zamisle, jer su nedostupne za većinu ljudi. Vremenom bi me uvek neko pitao da ide sa mnom u kanjon pa smo počeli da vodimo komercijalne ture. Ipak, nama nije cilj da na taj način samo zaradimo novac, i naša ponuda nije za “široke narodne mase”. Imam običaj da kažem da je naći se

vance. There are times when a person from another part of the planet would like to organise a shoot on a date when I am busy, but I have a strict rule that I follow – I never move any projects that I have accepted in advance. Regardless of the fact whether this other person is offering a project which is twice as challenging, or better paid, or in a more beautiful location. The projects I accept also depends on challenge and inspiration, and everything that the project implies. Of course, I would rather choose something new, a location that I had not visited before, or an athlete with whom I had never worked before”.

There are many adventures in the calendar for this year. We recommend our readers to follow his amazing journey on Instagram @predragvuckovic.

Here, Felix Baumgartner is pictured, before entering the capsule during his jump from the edge of space, during the famous ‘Red Bull Stratos’ project.

For years, he has been shooting the Red Bull Air Race Championship, which could be described as Formula 1 in the air, where airplanes reach the speed of 240 km/h make relatively low flights and conduct death defying stunts.

u takvom ambijentu privilegija, pa je i ovo aktivnost isljučivo za privilegovane. Pre nego što se upuste sa nama u kanjoning, oni prolaze kroz posebne treninge, a siguran sam da je prolazak kroz kanjone za njih nezaboravan doživljaj - priča Predrag.

Zbog prirode posla kojim se bavi, često leti sa jednog kraja sveta na drugi, ne menja samo vremenske zone već i godišnja doba, na sve to dodajte vreme provedeno na aerodromima i u avionima i spavanje po hotelima. Priznaćete da je i sam taj tempo života neka vrsta ekstremnog sporta. Ipak, Vučković je uvek na visini zadatka, a da bi to bilo tako pažljivo bira projekte na kojima radi.

- Kalendar mi je stvarno pun i srećom ljudi to znaju i sve planove za velike projekte dobijam unapred. Ima momenata kada neko na drugom kraju planete u istom datumu hoće fotografisanje, ali tu imam jedno strogo pravilo - nikada ne pomeram svoje unapred potvrđene projekte. Bez obzira da li neko sa druge strane nudi duplo izazovniji projekat, za duplo više para, pet puta lepšu destinaciju. Šta ću prihvatiti da radim zavisi od izazova i inspiracije i svega što taj projekat nosi. Naravno da ću pre izabrati nešto novo, neku lokaciju na kojoj nisam bio, ili nekog sportistu sa kojim do sada nisam imao priliku da radim - objašnjava Vučković.

Mitarh Architectural Studio WHERE PERFECTION ARISES FROM HARMONY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

SERBIA

Mitarh Studio has existed since 2006 and has followed the same principle from the very beginning – optimization of the functional organisation of the surfaces of structures, depending on their purpose, and the shaping of structures in a contemporary and modern architectural expression.

Mitarh Architectural Studio designs contemporary structures which correspond to the context of their surroundings, almost as if these structures were the only thing missing to make the landscape complete.

This renowned and multiple award-winning studio, was founded by professor emeritus Branislav Mitrović, who works with a team of young experts. Mitarh Studio’s projects are actually a reflection of the ideal harmony which exists in the studio itself, their decade of experience, and youthful energy of the team bringing new ideas to architecture in a modern context.

Through their unique approach to design, which has been proven over the years, they have realised structures of different types, sizes, scopes and formats. They pay special attention to the place where the structure is created, not only geographically and physically, but also in the historical and cultural discourse. When shaping structures and their functional organisation, and materialising facades and interiors, they follow modern principles of op-

timal relations in terms of the cost effectiveness of the investment and the expenses during the period in which the building is planned to be used. Also, in the entire design process, they take into account all of the modern environmental aspects in construction and in the exploitation of structures, in terms of energy saving and the use of recycled materials.

“With every new design, we aim to bring quality and comfort to the users, and also to contribute to the urban or natural landscape in which it is created. The principle behind our studio’s approach to design is that the importance of the environment and detail is as important as the basic functionality and a building’s sense of wholeness”, explains professor Mitrović.

This studio’s designs demonstrate a diversity of expressions, since they have designed structures for different purposes, ranging from residential buildings and hotels to business facilities, sports facilities, and museum and industrial buildings. The significant results and the domestic and international awards testify to Mitarh’s quality and vision.

Prof. Branislav Mitrović has an impressive architectural opus behind him, which he achieved with a series of young associates.

He has also contributed to architecture as a professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade (1990-2014). The same year, when he founded Mitarh, in 2006, professor Mitrović was also appointed as a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and a full member of the Academy of Engineering Sciences of Serbia. He designed projects

ju na mesto u kome sam objekat nastaje, ne samo geografski i fizički, nego i u istorijskom i kulturološkom diskursu. Prilikom oblikovanja objekata, funkcionalne organizacije i materijalizacije fasade i unutrašnjih prostora rukovode se savremenim principima optimalnih odnosa u pogledu ekonomičnosti investicije, kao i troškova u periodu eksploatacije objekta. Takođe u celom procesu projektovanja vodi se računa o svim savremenim ekološkim aspektima kako izgradnje, tako i eksploatacije objekata u pogledu štednje energije i upotrebe recikliranih materijala. „Nastoji se da svaki novi objekat donese kvalitet i komfor korisniku, ali i doprinos urbanom ili prirodnom pejzažu u kom nastaje. Princip projektovanja ovog biroa je da je važnost ambijenta i detalja podjednako bitna kao osnovna funkicionalnost i utisak celine objekta“, objašnjava profesor Mitrović.

Projekti na kojima je ovaj studio radio pokazuju raznovrsnost izraza, jer je reč o objektima najrazličitijih namena, od stambenih i hotelskih, preko poslovnih, sportskih, do muzejskih, ali i industrijskih objekata. Značajni rezultati i domaće i međunarodne nagrade svedoče o kvalitetu i viziji Mitarh-a.

for more than 150 architectural competitions and won more than 100 awards. Professor Mitrović is the author of close to 40 realised projects.

Professor Mitrović won 40 professional and social recognitions. He won the award from the Borba Daily for ‘the best architectural achievement’ twice, in 1991 for his work in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and in 2001 for his work in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He won the award of Novosti Daily for the best-realised project in Serbia and Montenegro in 2005. He won the Belgrade October Award for architecture twice, in 1990 and 1996. Professor Mitrović won the Annual Award of the Union of Architects of Serbia in 1998 and 2003.

He also won two lifetime achievement awards, one from the Association for Applied Arts Artists and Designers of Serbia in 2009, and one from the Serbian Chamber of Engineers, that same year. He won the Grand Prix of the Architecture Salon in 1990, 1998 and 2011. He received the ‘Ranko Radović’ Award for the best-realised work in 2012 and 2016.

He was selected as the first professor emeritus of the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade in 2015.

Branislav Mitrović talks with a lot of passion about the way in which he works.

“I like to look at the environment where the design is to come to life. The surroundings, whether inspirational or neutral, define the starting platform for a new structure. The structure is also affected by the landscape properties, the geometry of the neighbourhood, and by the structures which are in contact with the zone of the new structure. Regardless of whether the architecture in the given context is expressive, specific or expressionless, it always impacts a new building in some way. When making architectural decisions, one has to find measure

Izabran je za prvog profesora emeritusa Arhitektonskog fakulteta u Beogradu 2015. godine.

O načinu na koji radi, Branislav Mitrović priča sa puno strasti.

“Volim da gledam okruženje u kome će projekat da nastane. Zatečeno okruženje, bilo ono inspirativno ili neutralno, određuje polaznu platformu za novi objekat. Takođe, utiču i karakteristike pejzaža, geometrija suseda u širem smislu, kao i objekti u kontaktnoj zoni nove građevine. Bez obzira da li je arhitektura konteksta izrazita, specifična ili bezizražajna, ona uvek na određeni način utiče na novu kuću.

in positioning a new structure in the existing surroundings. The intensity of the ‘voice’ of the new design is set up according to the value and properties of the existing environment. In the particularly valuable complexes of monumental structures, new architecture should be ‘quiet’”, says Mitrović.

The relationship with those who commission a design can be stressful, but inspiring.

“When I am designing, I am not rigid. I am ready to make corrections to what I originally envisaged in accordance with the client’s needs, and I am ready to change my direction. Architecture is my medium of expression and had I not had that freedom, and had I not been ready to change and advance in that field, I would have changed my vocation. You cannot advance in architecture without conflict and change, and these thought processes maintain my passion for my work,” says Mitrović.

In his opinion, the selection of materials to be used on facades needs to be a result of the assessment of the harmony between the selection of materials and the purpose of the structure.

“Still, it is difficult to overlook the impact of the environment on the selection of materials. I think that an architect needs to harmonise and quantify

novog artefakta niveliše se prema vrednosti i kvalitetu zatečenog ambijenta. U posebno vrednim spomeničkim celinama, nova arhitektura bi trebalo da bude „tiha”, navodi Mitrović.

Odnos sa naručiocem posla, može da budes stresan, ali i inspirišuću.

“Prilikom projektovanja nisam statičan, spreman sam na korekciju zamišljenog u odnosu na potrebe klijenta i promenu pravca delovanja. Arhitektura je moj medijum za izražavanje i da nemam tu slobodu i da na tom polju nisam spreman da napredujem i da se menjam, promenio bi posao. Nema napretka arhitekture bez sukoba bez promena i ti misaoni procesi održavaju moju strast prema poslu“.

Prema njegovom mišljenju, odabir primenjenog materijala na fasadama mora biti rezultat procene u kakvom je skladu izbor materijala sa namenom objekta. “ Ipak, teško je prenebregnuti uticaj okruženja na izbor materijala. Mislim da arhitekta mora te varijacije da usklađuje i dozira, a to je definitivno stvar procene, znanja i talenta, likovnosti.“ Poslednji veći izvedeni projekat Mitarh-a je Royal Gardens, stambeno poslovna zgrada u Budvi na kojoj je rađeno od 2015 do 2018. godine.

MPS building, on the corner of Lička and Кarađorđeva streets has an interesting half-circle “tower,” with no stylistic definitions, and is “cut” into the façade fronts of different heights (Lička and Karađorđeva streets), as a benchmark which communicates on the level of altitude with other neighbours at corner positions.

Prof. Branislav Mitrovic has an impressive architectural opus behind him, which he achieved with a series of young associates.

Business building of “HVB Bank”, Belgrade The HVB Bank building is an angular building, with a long façade, with a certain link to the existing structures. Such geometry imposed a specific architectural approach. The length of the side facade (in the Rajićeva and Kneza Lazara streets) has been reduced to an angular accent, “replicating” its neighbours.

these variations, which definitely is a matter of assessment, knowledge, talent, and artistry”, explains professor Mitrović.

The latest major project of Mitarh Studio was Royal Gardens, the residential and business complex in Budva, Montenegro, constructed between 2015 and 2018. The Royal Gardens Complex is located next to the marina and the ‘Pizana’ town harbour. The town park is located between the building and the coastal promenade, and the structure is part of a set of buildings, which, starting from the Old Town walls, follow the waterfront.

This complex is a perfect reflection of the concept that Mitarh Studio adheres to. The arched geometric form from the first to the eleventh floor is reminiscent of the architecture of a ship. The authors’ idea was to implement a different spatial concept in the urban density of the centre of Budva, dominated by buildings made from glass and concrete. This new concept should bring new quality, owing to its architectonics of form and structural organisation of spatial levels. In addition to the curvature of the shape of a boat and the whiteness of a Mediterranean edifice, deep terraces with green gardens aim to highlight and stress the sensibility of a maritime environment. Looking from the sea, from the marina, one sees white lines of railings, interrupted by a deep shadow filled with greenery. Each residential unit is oriented towards the sea and has a long canopy, which protects it from the strong summer sun.

The focus is on the green terrace, which is reminiscent of the deck of a ship. The point of such a spatial concept is that the construction of a new structure in the overdeveloped and dense surroundings of the centre of Budva, should not increase this constructional and visual ‘congestion’, but to, in spite of its significant size, start returning some of its green curtains to the town, by creating cascades of green terraces. The basic motto of the structure could be the impression of ‘hanging gardens’, owing to these green curtains, cascading from the top to the bottom. The Mitarh architects believe that the acceptance of such a pioneer undertaking could, through similar practices in the future, return a part of the consumed natural areas back to the town.

Royal Gardens je u neposrednoj blizini marine i gradske luke „Pizana“. Između objekta i šetališta uz obalu, nalazi se gradski park, pa tako objekat pripada nizu građevina koji se, počevši od zidina Starog grada, prostiru u prvoj liniji prema moru.

Ovaj kompleks savršeno odražava kocept po kojem radi studio Mitarh. Od prvog pa do jedanaestog sprata zalučena geometrijska forma asocira na arhitekturu broda. Autori su želeli da u urbanističkoj gustini centra Budve, gde uglavnom niču objekti od stakla i betona, postignu drugačiji prostorni koncept koji svojom arhitektonikom forme i strukturalnom organizacijom prostornih nivoa unosi novi kvalitet. Pored zaobljenosti brodske forme i beline mediteranskog zdanja, duboke terase sa zelenim baštama trebalo bi da naglase i apostrofiraju senzibilitet primorskog ambijenta. Pogledom sa mora, iz marine, vide se bele trake ograda koje su prekinute dubokom senkom ispunjenom zelenilom. Svaka stambena jedinica je orjentisana prema moru i ima duboku nadstrešnicu za odbranu od jakog letnjeg sunca. Naglasak je na ozelenjenoj terasi kao palubi broda. Suština ovakve prostorne koncepcije je da u preterano izgrađenom i zgusnitom okruženju centra Budve, izgradnjom novog objekta ne poveća dodatno to građevinsko i vizuelno „zagušenje“, već da, uprkos nezanemarljivom gabaritu, stvarajući kaskade zelenih terasa, započne vraćati gradu deo oduzetih zelenih zastora. Osnovni moto objekta mogao bi da bude utisak „visećih vrtova“ zahvaljujući ovim zelenim zastorima, koji kaskadiraju do vrha. Arhitetkte iz Mitarh-a smatrali su da prihvatanje ovako pionirskog poduhvata može da, kroz buduću, sličnu praksu, vrati gradu deo potrošenog prirodnog prostora.
