Avgust 2023.
August 2023
Dragi putnici,
Dear passengers,
Stigli smo do mnogima omiljenog letnjeg meseca – avgusta , kad su tople boje i energija leta na vrhuncu. Taj mesec je idealan za odmor, uživanje uz more i dobru knjigu. Statistike pokazuju da se najviše či- ta na letnjim putovanjima. Znate li da se upravo 9. avgu- sta u mnogim zemljama obeležava Dan ljubitelja knjige? U avgustu se takođe slavi Dan lubenice, što uopšte nije neobično s obzirom na to da je reč o jednoj od najomilje- nijih letnjih poslastica. Ovaj broj magazina „Elevejt“ posvetili smo pre- lepom Jadranu. Čuveni beogradski muzičar napisao je stih koji verovatno na najbolji mogući način opisu- je sve naše destinacije na Jadranskom moru. Pesma kaže: „Na skriveno te vodim mesto, između plani- na i mora“, a mi vas pozivamo da iskoristite naše di- rektne avio-linije do Tivta, Dubrovnika, Splita, Rijeke, Zadra i Pule i tako brzo i udobno stignete do Jadran- skog primorja. Italija jednim svojim delom takođe izlazi na Ja- dransko more. Da li ste već posetili Veneciju ili Ba- ri? O Veneciji ne moramo mnogo da govorimo, o njoj je verovatno sve rečeno i napisano, pa nam ostaje samo da vam taj grad preporučimo kao uvek atrak- tivnu destinaciju, dok za Bari verujemo da je nedo- voljno istražen biser Jadrana. Do tog grada letimo tri puta nedeljno, svakog ponedeljka, četvrtka i nede- lje, što ga čini idealnom destinacijom za produže- ni vikend. Pored naših redovnih i sezonskih destinacija sa kojima se možete upoznati na samom kraju maga- zina, tokom letnje sezone u saradnji sa turističkim agencijama realizujemo i čarter-letove. Do omiljenih letovališta u Turskoj, Tunisu, Egiptu i Grčkoj letimo od aprila do oktobra. Ove godine smo prvi put u ponudu uveli i Marsa Matruh u Egiptu. Za razliku od Hurgade i Šarm el Šeika, koji se nalaze na obali Crvenog mora, Marsa Matruh izlazi na Sredozemno more, a nalazi se na samo 300 kilometara od prelepe Aleksandrije. Bilo da želite da otkrijete nove gradove u kojima do sada niste bili, bilo da još jednom posetite omi- ljenu destinaciju, biće nam zadovoljstvo da budemo deo vaših putovanja. Tokom 12 meseci u godini Er Sr- bija je tu za vas. Uživajte u letu i srećan put.
One of the favourite months for many peo- ple – August , when warm colours and summer ener- gy reach their peak – has now arrived. August is the ide- al month for summer holidays, enjoying yourself by the sea and having a good read. Statistics show that peo- ple tend to read the most during their summer holidays. Did you know that many countries celebrate Book Lovers Day on 9 th August? Watermelon Day is also celebrated in August, which makes perfect sense considering that watermelons are among the best summer treats. We have dedicated this edition of Elevate to the ma- gnificent Adriatic coast. One popular Belgrade musician wrote a verse that perhaps best describes all our Adria- tic destinations. The song goes like this: “I’ll take you to a remote place, between mountains and the sea”, and we would encourage you to take advantage of our dire- ct flights to Tivat, Dubrovnik, Split, Rijeka, Zadar and Pula, allowing you to quickly and comfortably reach the Adria- tic coast. Italy also has a coastline on the Adriatic. Have you ever visited Venice or Bari? Venice needs no introducti- on, with everything probably having already been said or written about this city, so we can only recommend it as an ever-attractive destination. We believe that Bari is a gem of the Adriatic coast that you simply must explore. We have flights to Bari three times a week, every Mon- day, Thursday and Sunday, which makes it an ideal desti- nation for an extended weekend break. In addition to our scheduled and seasonal destinati- ons, the details of which are available towards the end of the magazine, we also provide charter flights during the summer season, in partnership with travel agents. From April to October, we fly to some of your favourite holiday resorts in Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt and Greece. This year, we also launched flights for the first time to Marsa Ma- truh, a popular resort in Egypt. Unlike Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh, both of which are located on the Red Sea, Marsa Matruh is located on the Mediterranean coast and is just 300 kilometres from the beautiful Alexandria. Whether you want to explore new cities that you’ve never been to before or to visit one of your most beloved destinations, it will be our pleasure to be part of your tra- vels. Air Serbia is by your side year-round. Enjoy your flight and have a nice trip,

Čarter-sezona srpske nacional- ne avio-kompanije započeta je 8. apri- la letovima do Hurgade. Od aprila do oktobra, uz Hurgadu, Er Srbija nudi i čarter-letove do Šarm el Šeika, Antalije, Alanje, Bodruma, Da- lamana, Skijatosa, Zakintosa, Kefalonije, Kosa, Samosa, Preveze i Monastira. Ove godine Er Srbija je prvi put u svoju ponudu uvela i Marsa Matruh u Egiptu. Za razliku od Hurgade i Šarm el Šeika, koji se nalaze na obali Crvenog mo- ra, Marsa Matruh izlazi na Sredozemno more i smeštena je na samo 300 kilometara od pre- lepe Aleksandrije. Prema rečima Boška Rupića, direktora Er Srbije za komercijalu i strategiju, letovi izme- đu Beograda i Marsa Matruh realizuju se svake sedmice u saradnji sa agencijom „Ponte Tra- vel“ iz Beograda. „Marsa Matruh predstavlja jedan od bisera Egipta na Mediteranu. Ovo je prvi put da obavljamo letove ka toj destinaciji, što nas veoma raduje jer smo na taj način pro- širili mrežu naših čarter letova“, kaže Rupić. Pored beogradskog aerodroma, srpska nacionalna avio-kompanija čarter-letove rea- lizuje i sa Aerodroma „Konstantin Veliki“ u Ni- šu. Iz Niša se ove letnje sezone u čarter-sao- braćaju leti do Hurgade, Antalije i Monastira. This year’s charter season of the Ser- bian national airline began on 8 th April, with flights to Hurghada. From April to October, along with Hurghada, Air Serbia also offers char- ter flights to Sharm El-Sheikh, Antalya, Alanya, Bodrum, Dalaman, Skiathos, Zakynthos, Kefalo- nia, Kos, Samos, Preveza and Monastir. This year also saw Air Serbia introduce the Egyptian resort of Marsa Matruh to its offer for the first time. Unlike Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh, which are located on the Red Sea coast, the shores of Marsa Matruh are washed by the Mediterranean and the city is just 300 ki- lometres from the beautiful Alexandria. Accor- ding to Boško Rupić, Air Serbia General Mana- ger - Commercial and Strategy, flights between Belgrade and Marsa Matruh operate on a wee- kly basis, in cooperation with Belgrade-based agency Ponte Travel. “Marsa Matruh is one of the pearls of Egypt on the Mediterranean. This is the first time we are flying to this destination, which makes us very happy, because we ha- ve thus expanded the network of our charter fli- ghts,” says Rupić. Apart from flying from Belgrade Nikola Te- sla Airport, the Serbian national airline also ope- rates charter flights from Niš Constantine the Great Airport, which for this summer season is handling charter flights to Hurghada, Antalya and Monastir.
Er Srbija je ove godine prvi put iz čartera u redovan saobraćaj uvela čak šest destinacija – Hanju, Iraklion, Kataniju, Krf, Palermo i Rodos This year, for the first time, Air Serbia transferred as many as six destinations from its charter service to its scheduled traffic: Chania, Heraklion, Catania, Corfu, Palermo and Rhodes

Letenje za mene ima posebnu draž Flying holds special joy for me
Ko je Marija Završila je Pravni fakultet, a muzičku ka- rijeru počela 2015. godine u Narodnom pozorištu. Nakon toga kreće njena sa- mostalna karijera 2018, koncertom u bio- skopu „Balkan“, odakle se nadovezuju brojni koncerti širom zemlje. Neverovatna energija raskošnog soprana donela joj je reputaciju operske pevačice čiji su kon- certi zdravica ljubavi, zbog čega je pu- blika izdvaja i uživa u njenim nastupima prepunim emocija. knjige i kozmetike. Ako je duži let u pitanju, tada nosim i ajped, pa po- gledam i neki film. Vreme provede- no u avionu uvek dobro iskoristim da isplaniram sve što želim da ura- dim. A nekada se jednostavno do- bro odmorim. Dosta putujem, bar tri puta nedeljno sam u avio- nu i mogu da kažem da sam posta- la zavisnik od letenja. Volim taj ose- ćaj, ima neku posebnu draž za mene. Obožavam putovanja, a najbolji i naj- brži način da se prevezete od mesta do mesta je avion. Uvek je, naravno, najlepše u avionima naše avio-kom- panije... Šta uvek nosite sa sobom na letu? – Nikada ne ulazim u avion bez
“I travel plenty. I’m on a plane at least three times a week and I can admit that I’ve be- come addicted to flying. I love that feeling, it holds special joy for me. I adore travelling, and the best and fastest way to transport yourself from place to place is by plane. Of course, it’s always the most beautiful expe- rience aboard the planes of our own airline…”
Marija Nešić operska pevačica / opera singer
Who is Marija She completed the faculty of law and launched her career in music in 2015, at the National Theatre. Her solo career subsequently began in
2018, with a concert at Bel- grade’s Balkan cinema, af- ter which she continued with numerous concerts nationwide. The incredible energy of her sumptuous soprano voice has earned her a reputation as an op- era singer whose concerts are a tribute to love, which is why the audience sets her apart and enjoys her emo- tion-packed performances.
What do you always carry with you on a flight? “I never board a plane without a book and cosmetics. If it’s a longer flight, I also carry my iPad so I can watch some film. I always use the time I spend on a plane well by planning everything that I want to do. And sometimes I simply get a good rest.”

Najbolje čuvane tajne zapadne obale Best kept secrets of the west coast
Možda ste mnogo puta letovali u Turskoj, zemlji koja izlazi na toliko mnogo mora da možete da birate ono koje vam se naj - više dopada. Ali da li ste otkrivali mesta koja sami Turci najčešće biraju za svoje letovanje, oblasti prepune veličanstvenih pogleda, istorijskih mesta, prirodnih ču - da, prelepih plaža i bogate kuhinje? Ako niste, mi vas ovog jula vodimo u Čanaka - le i Balikesir sa okolinom, a vi birate leto - ve – možete do Izmira ili Istanbula, sa Er Srbijom, brzo i lako!

But have you discovered the pla- ces that the Turks themselves usually cho- ose for their own summer breaks; areas filled with magnificent views, historical si - tes, natural wonders, wonderful beaches and rich cuisine? If not, this July we’re ta- king you to Çanakkale and Balikesir, and the surrounding areas, and you can choo - se where to fly to – you can opt for Izmir or Istanbul, quick and easy with Air Serbia!

Čanakale Çanakkale
Asos Drevni priobalni grad Asos je još jedna kulturna baština Ča - nakalea na Uneskovoj listi, a možda i jedan od najslikoviti - jih drevnih gradova u Turskoj. Nalazi se na stenovitom brdu, 17 kilometara južno od okru - ga Ajvačik. Godine 348. pre nove ere Aristotel je došao u Asos i osnovao filozofsku ško - lu u kojoj je predavao tri godi - ne. Na akropolju se nalazi naj - raniji dorski hram u Anadoliji, hram Atine, zidovi utvrđenja i turska džamija iz ranog perio - da. Možete pratiti stazu do do - njeg grada i posetiti agoru, gi - mnaziju i uživati u prekrasnom pogledu na Lezbos iz pozori - šta. Asos je sa svojom prele- pom prirodom destinacija ko- ja se često koristi u turskim
Čanakale se nalazi na ulazu u Dardanele, koji spaja Egejsko i Mramorno more. To je me- sto gde su se sretali koman - danti, ratnici, umetnici, filozo - fi, istraživači i pesnici. Mesto na kom su se odigrale legen - darne bitke – Trojanski rat i Galipolje. Ova istorijska me- sta nalaze se s obe strane moreuza Dardanele, razdva - jajuć i Evropu i Aziju u gradu, drugom posle Istanbula, koji deli kontinente. Smatra se da je Troja sme- štena na ivici zaliva gde Ka - ramender i Dumrek dopiru do Egejskog mora. Grad koji je rušen ratovima i elementar- nim nepogodama postepeno je gubio na značaju i konačno je napušten. Na ulazu u drev - ni grad koji je Unesko 1998.
uvrstio na listu svetske bašti- ne, posetioce danas dočekuje Muzej Troje koji kroz artefakte sa iskopavanja objašnjava ži - vot i istoriju grada. Čanakale je čuven i po bici ko - ja se ovde odigrala na počet - ku Prvog svetskog rata. Poku - šaj savezničke flote da osvoji Dardanele u februaru 1915. ni - je uspeo i usledilo je amfibij - sko iskrcavanje na poluostrvo Galipolje u aprilu 1915. Cilj je bio osvajanje Istanbula (tada Carigrada), ali je turska vojska sa Kemalom Ataturkom na če - lu u januaru 1916, posle osam meseci borbi, uspela da nate- ra saveznike na povlačenje. Poprište bitke danas je naci- onalni park koji je sa brojnim spomenicima registrovan na Uneskovoj listi 2014.

Assos The ancient Greek coastal town of Assos is another site in Çanakkale province to be inclu- ded on UNESCO’s World Herita- ge List, and it is perhaps one of the most scenic ancient cities in modern Türkiye. It is situa- ted on a rocky hill some 17 kilo- metres south of the district of Ayvacık. Aristotle arrived in As - sos in 348 BC and established a philosophical school where he taught for three years. The acropolis hosts the earliest Do- ric temple in Anatolia, a Tem- ple of Athena, fortification walls and a Turkish mosque from the early period. You can follow the path leading to the lower city and visit the agora, the gymna- sium, and enjoy great views of Lesbos from the theatre. With its beautiful nature and ancient ruins, Assos is a regular back- drop used for filming Turkish TV series, while it is an alluring spot for divers thanks to its cle- an seas and rich underwater world. Bozcaada Located near Çanakkale, at the mouth of the Dardanelles Stra- its, Bozcaada is Türkiye’s third largest island, covering an area of 40 square kilometres. Upon arrival on the island, you are greeted by the castle overloo- king the harbour. You can wan- der its narrow streets between beautiful and colourful houses, then head to the Çiçek Patis- serie for some Kavala cookies, one of the famous delicacies of the island, or to try ice cre- am flavoured with the famous local fragrant lavender. If you’re there at sunset, head to the Po- lente Lighthouse to enjoy some wonderful views. Wine seems as plentiful as water on this island and a tour reveals many vineyards and wine cellars. There are good sand beaches at Ayazma, Poyraz and İğdelik, while jazz lovers will enjoy Sep- tember’s annual festival.
Çanakkale is located at the en- trance of the Dardanelles Stra- it, which connects the Aege- an and Marmara seas. It is a place that has welcomed lea- ders, commanders, warriors, artists, philosophers, explorers, and poets. The lands of the le- gendary Trojan War and Darda- nelles Campaign are located on both sides of the Dardanelles Strait, which would much la- ter divide the city of Istanbul to form a city that separates Eu- rope and Asia. Troy is thought to have been located at the edge of the bay where the rivers Karamenderes and Dümrek reach the Aegean. The city, which was destroyed by wars and natural disasters, gradually lost its importan- ce and was finally abandoned. Troy Museum today welcomes visitors at the entrance to the Ancient City of Troy, which was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List back in 1998. The museum depicts and expla- ins the life and archaeological history of Troy and its cultu- res through artefacts recovered during excavations. Çanakkale is also famous wor- ldwide for the battle that took place here following the outbre- ak of World War I. The Allied fleet’s attempt to force passa- ge through the Dardanelles in February 1915 failed and was followed by an amphibious lan- ding on the Gallipoli Peninsula in April 1915. The objective was to conquer Istanbul (then sti- ll known as Constantinople), but the Turkish Army, under the leadership of then comman- der Kemal Atatürk, managed to hold off the land offensive and the allies were forced to wi- thdraw in January 1916, after eight months of heavy fighting. The battlefields are now occu - pied by a national park conta- ining numerous monuments that were registered on the UNESCO World Heritage Tenta- tive List in 2014.

Balikesir BALIKESİR
Ajvalik Ajvalik je poznat po ronjenju, plažama, prostranim nacional - nim parkovima i čudesnoj ar - hitekturi. Ovde možete posetiti Seitan Sofrasi (Đavolja gozba) i uživati u predivnom zalasku sunca. Na ostrvu Džunda pro - bajte papaline i čuvene tosti - rane sendviče „Ajvalik Tostu“. Nemoguć e je zamisliti Ajva - lik bez njegovih svetilišta, kao i plaža. Najpoznatija je Sarim - sakli, čuvena po suvom pesku koji se ne lepi za telo. Barovi na plaži i restorani u kojima se služi domać a kuhinja omogu - ć avaju posetiocima da se lepo odmore od mora i sunca. Njegova 22 ostrva, 60 mesta za ronjenje, bogata podvod - na fauna i flora čine Ajvalik ra - jem za ljubitelje mora. Sa op - timalnim klimatskim uslovima i povoljnim vetrom i talasima,
Balikesir je važna turistička destinacija na obalama Egej - skog i Mramornog mora, me - sto sa jedinstvenim zalivima, ostrvcima, planinama i termal- nim izvorima. To je grad gde se sre u kultura, istorija i pri - roda, čija se vizija i uloga kon - stantno širi, turski raj sa dva univerziteta, neverovatnom ar - hitekturom i prirodnim lepota- ma. Lociran je između dva mo - ra i bogat svežom ribom. Ima više od stotinu šuma, te se u njemu diše punim plu ima. Obiluje termalnim izvorima, a njegovi meštani proizvode vi - še od pedeset vrsta sireva, dok su ilimi i tkanine samo deo kulturinog nasleđa. Ako pu - tujete kroz oblast zaliva auto - mobilom, prolazite kroz Drev - nu planinu Ida (Kaz Daglari), ali ima tu još nekih mesta koje treba posetiti.
Ajvalik je takođe veoma popu - larna destinacija za jedrenje. Ostrvo Džunda Ostrvo Džunda, poznato i kao ostrvo Alibej, nalazi se odmah pored obale u blizini Ajvalika, između Čanakalea i Izmira na severnoj obali Egejskog mora. Postoji drumski most koji po- vezuje ostrvo sa kopnom. Sta - ra arhitektura anadolskih Grka je posebno zanimljiva sa drev - nim kuć ama i uskim ulicama. Na ostrvu treba posetiti tako- zvano Brdo ljubavnika zbog njegovih neverovatnih pogle - da, zatim Crkvu Panagija i bi - blioteku. Džunda je još poznata i po ve - ličanstvenim zalascima sun - ca, morskim plodovima i taver- nama u kojima se razgovori nastavljaju do ranih jutarnjih sati.

Being located between two seas en- sures it is the perfect spot for lovers of freshly caught fish. It also has more than a hundred forests, making it a great spot to fill your lungs to the max. Ri - ch in hot springs, local resi- dents produce over 50 types of cheese here, while rugs and fa- brics form just part of its vast cultural heritage. If you are tra- versing the Gulf of Izmit by car, be sure to pass through Mount Kaz, or Mount Ida (Kaz Dagları), but there are also other must- see sites in the area. Ayvalık Ayvalık is famous for its ex - cellent diving, delightful beac- hes, expansive national parks and stunning architecture. He- re you can visit Şeytan Sofra - sı (the Devil’s Feast) and enjoy marvellous sunsets. It is re- commended to try “papali- na” fish while you’re on Cunda Island, but also its famous to-
asted sandwiches “Ayvalık To - stu”. It is impossible to imagine Ayvalık without its sanctuaries, but also without its beaches. The most notable is Sarımsaklı Beach, which is renowned for its dry sand that doesn’t stick to the body. Beach bars and se- afront restaurants serving local cuisine enable visitors to take a nice break from the sea and sun. With 22 islands, 60 diving spots and rich underwater fau- na and flora, Ayvalık is a true di - ver’s paradise. The "red coral" that can be seen in 34 diving spots along the Ayvalık coast is enchanting. With optimal cli- matic conditions and favoura- ble winds and waves, Ayvalık is also a very popular destination for windsurfers and sailors. Cunda Island Cunda Island, also known as Alibey Island (Alibey Adası), is situated just off the coast of Ayvalık between Çanakkale and
İzmir on the north coast of the Aegean. A road bridge conne- cts the island to the mainland, while its Anatolian Greek archi- tecture – with old houses and narrow streets – is particularly interesting. Apart from enjoying the sea and sand, other thin- gs to do on Cunda include visi- ting the Lovers’ Hill for its ama- zing views, visiting the Panagia Church and Library. This island is also famous for its glorious sunsets, delicious seafood and taverns where the conversati- on invariably continues into the early hours of the morning.

Skrivena strana tehničkih predmeta koje baštini Muzej nauke i tehnike The “hidden” side of the technological devices that are kept in the Museum of Science and Technology
„Gola tehnologija“ IZLOŽBA
Belgrade’s Museum of Science and Technology is presenting – for the first time in Serbia and among the first times worldwide – the exclu- sive exhibition entitled Naked Technology, authored by Zoran Lević, Dušan Petrović and Ivan Stanić, and dedicated to exposing the “hid- den” side of the technological devices that are preserved in the collec- tions of this museum. “New X-ray technology enables us to capture dynamic images of objects, providing us with the opportunity to see their interiors with- out disassembling them, even while they are in operation. Hence, our strong desire to share this new technological and museological prac- tice with our visitors through an exhibition with the intriguing title “Na- ked Technology,” all with the purpose of education and demonstrating new museological practices in the presentation of cultural heritage,” says Zoran Lević, senior curator, head of conservation and director of the Belgrade Museum of Science and Technology. When it comes to examining museum exhibits, it isn’t possible to ap- ply invasive techniques. In order to present the internal appearance and functioning of various devices to visitors, museums often create three-dimensional models or reconstruct them digitally. This exhibition will remain on display at the Museum of Science and Technology until September, with organisers preparing numerous supporting contents to accompany the exhibition throughout its duration. “Naked Technology “ EXHIBITION
U Muzeju nauke i tehnike, prvi put u Srbiji i među prvima u sve- tu, predstavljena je ekskluzivna izložba „Gola tehnologija“ au- tora Zorana Levića, Dušana Petrovića i Ivana Stanića, posveće- na skrivenoj strani tehničkih predmeta koje baštini Muzej nauke i tehnike u svojim zbirkama. – Nova rendgenska tehnologija omogućila nam je i dinamičke snimke predmeta, odnosno da bez rasklapanja vidimo njihovu unutrašnjost dok rade. Otuda naša velika želja da ovu novu teh- nološku i muzeološku praksu podelimo i s našim posetiocima putem izložbe intrigantnog naziva „Gola tehnologija“, a sve u svrhu edukacije i demonstracije novih muzeoloških praksi u pre- zentaciji kulturne baštine – izjavio je Zoran Lević, viši kustos kon- zervator i direktor Muzeja nauke i tehnike. Kod ispitivanja muzejskih eksponata primena invazivne tehnike nije moguća. Kako bi posetiocima dočarali unutrašnji izgled i rad različitih uređaja, muzeji često izrađuju trodimenzionalne mo- dele ili ih digitalno rekonstruišu. Izložba će biti otvorena do septembra u Muzeju nauke i tehni- ke, a u toku njenog trajanja organizatori pripremaju brojne pra- teće sadržaje.

The 6 th edition of the International Dunav Film Fest will unfold from 22 nd to 27 th August in the so-called Small Town (inner city) of Smederevo Fortress. This celebration of film that has been plac- ing Smederevo on the map of ma- jor festival destinations for the past six years will provide premiere screenings of the most significant cinematography achievements in the Danube region. Under an open sky, audiences will once again be able to enjoy more than 30 film productions divided between four programming units at four attractive Smederevo locations. This 6 th edition of the festival will also be marked by no- table achievements of major festivals, award-winning films of affirmed direc- tors, as well as works by young filmmak- ers only just embarking on their career journeys. This festival has a competitive character, with each year’s jury com- prising relevant figures from the film world who award the Dunavska Lađa [Danube Ship] Award for the best film in the competitive selection. The fes- tival’s main location will this year once again be the Small Town of Smedere- vo Fortress.

„Darko Rundek & Ekipa“ održaće koncert u Botaničkoj bašti u Beogradu 26. i 27. avgu- sta i vratiti se tamo gde su prethodne dve godine u isto vreme beležili trijumf. Velikan regionalne scene sa svojim sastavom je na tim nastupima, uz euforičnu atmosferu, po- častio obožavaoce najvećim hitovima što iz perioda „Haustora“, što iz samostalne kari- jere. Darko Rundek je inače jedan od najvećih aktivista za zaštitu životne sredine, pa ne čudi što su nastupi u Botaničkoj bašti za njega posebno značajni. Darko Rundek & Ekipa will hold back-to-back concerts at Belgrade’s Jevremovac Botan- ical Garden on 26 th and 27 th August, thereby returning to the spot where they gave tri- umphant performances over the previous two years at the same time. Together with his band, and in an atmosphere of euphoria, this great of the region’s music scene treated fans to renditions of his biggest hits, some from the period of rock band Haustor and oth- ers from the period of his solo career. Rundek is also among the region’s most prominent environmental protection activists, so it comes as no surprise that performances at the Botanical Garden have special significance for him.

„Srbin kojekude“ A Serb Everywhere knjiga / book
U svom novom delu „Srbin kojekude“ Bojan Ljubenović nastavlja da se na krajnje du- hovit i sebi svojstven satiričan način bavi današnjom Srbijom. Ovo je istovremeno i pu- topis, i intimni dnevnik, i autobiografija, i ogledalo naše stvarnosti. Dok piše o naizgled običnim, svakodnevnim dogodovštinama i događajima, autor rasvetljava mnogo kru- pnije i ozbiljnije društvene pojave i probleme. Ljubenovićeve prepoznatljive duhovi- te žaoke sakrivene su duboko unutar urnebesnih redova posvećenih Srbinu koji se dva puta obreo u dalekom inostranstvu preko okeana, kao i njegovom delanju u Beogradu, na moru ili tokom vanrednog stanja. In his latest work, A Serb Everywhere, writer Bojan Ljubenović resumes his handling of to- day’s Serbia in an extremely humorous and satirical way that’s specific to him. This book is simultaneously a travelogue, an intimate journal, an autobiography and a mirror reflecting our reality. While he writes about apparently ordinary, everyday happenings and events, the author sheds light on much bigger and more serious social phenomena and prob- lems. Ljubenović’s recognisable piercing humour is hidden deep within hilarious lines ded- icated to the Serb who has twice found himself in a faraway land across the ocean, but al- so to his actions in Belgrade, by the sea or during the state of emergency.
Intervju Interview Saša Aleksander glumica
Jeste li znali da se iza njenog umetničkog imena krije Suzana Drobnjaković i da je ova poznata Srpkinja snaha legendarne Sofije Loren? O ne koji su gleda- li „Dosonov svet“, „Mornaričke istra- žitelje“, „Besra- mnike“ ili treći nastavak kultnog američkog blo- kbastera „Nemoguća misija“ mož- da će iznenaditi da je pravo ime glumice Saše Aleksander, koja se pojavljuje u svim ovim naslovima, u stvari Suzana Drobnjaković. Rođena je u mešovitom bra- ku oca Italijana i majke Srpkinje, a svojim balkanskim poreklom se izuzetno ponosi, iako oduvek živi u Americi (rođena je u Los Anđele- su). Sašu Aleksander trenutno na kanalu „FOX Crime“ gledamo u se- riji „Rizoli i Ajls“, a upravo joj je rola hladnokrvne i pragmatične foren- zičarke More Ajls, koju je tumačila u sedam sezona i više od 105 epi- zoda, donela svetsku slavu, kao i neprocenjivo prijateljstvo s kole- ginicom Endži Harmon. U eksklu- zivnom intervjuu za „Elevejt“ naj- poznatija holivudska zvezda naših korena otkriva kakva sećanja je ve- žu za Srbiju i kako ju je put doveo do junakinje More Ajls. – Zapravo, dugogodišnje „prija- teljstvo“ sa Morom je ostavilo traga na meni. Nemoguće je da nekoga glumite tako dugo, a da ne popri- mite bar deo njenih navika i osobi- na. Mora i ja se mnogo razlikujemo. Ona je koncentrat čistog razuma i profesionalne hladnokrvnosti. Svo- ju logiku koristi poput noža i za- to je i pronašla savršenu kontrate- žu u Džejn Rizoli, koja je potpuno spontana, opuštena i ne mari ni za jedno od pravila bez kojih bi ži- vot moje More bio moguć. Istina je da sam i ja u privatnom životu mnogo bliža Džejn nego Mori, ali
Često govorim srpski, negujem sećanje na svoje poreklo

Saša Aleksander rođena je u Los Anđelesu, majka joj je Srpkinja, a od 2007. godine udata je za reditelja Edoarda Pontija, sina Sofije Loren, s kojim ima dvoje dece
Sasha Alexander was born in Los Angeles to a Serbian mother, and since 2007 has been married to director Edoardo Ponti, the son of Sophia Loren, with whom she has two children
sve češće sebe hvatam u razmišlja- nju: „Hm, kako bi Mora rešila ovaj problem?“ – na početku razgovora otkriva glumica koja se često hva- li svojim poznavanjem srpskog je- zika, a koji joj je uz engleski i itali- janski treći jezik koji tečno govori. Tako je cela Amerika u jednom od najpopularnijih noćnih TV progra- ma imala priliku da gleda kako Saša čuvenog voditelja Konana O’Bra- jana uči tome koliko je srpski za- ista lak jezik. To ste demonstrirali i u seriji, zar ne? – Da, ali na malo drugačiji na- čin nego kod Konana. (smeh). Naš jezik je veoma egzotičan strancima. Često govorim srpski, jer smatram da je važno negovati sećanje na svo- je poreklo. Međutim, kod Konana sam demonstrirala tu malo sočni- ju stranu srpskog jezika, naravno, kroz originalne srpske psovke, što se mesecima kasnije prepričavalo. U seriji je to, ipak, malo suptilni- je. Mora kroz razgovor sa Džejn i njihovim kolegama objašnjava ka- ko je srpski lak jezik za učenje, ona razgovara sa žrtvama napadača čije su metode povezane sa zločinima nad Srbima tokom Drugog svet- skog rata. Moje veze sa Srbijom su se producentima učinile veoma za- nimljivim materijalom da obogate seriju, i drago mi je što je publika to tako dobro prihvatila. Druženje sa „Rizoli i Ajls“ trajalo je skoro čitavu de- ceniju. Kakve uspomene nosite sa snimanja ove se- rije? – Od početka sam volela ovu seriju zbog toga što nikad nije bi- la klasičan triler, ali ni standardan format serija na koje smo dotad navikli. U fokusu cele priče bilo je divno prijateljstvo dve potpu- no različite, a podjednako uspeš- ne i hrabre žene. To je ono što mi je uvek najviše prijalo kod „Rizoli i Ajls“, ta njihova prirodnost i ne- nametljivost. One su prave super- žene, ali ne u smislu borbe sa kri- minalcima. Njihova snaga ogleda se u njihovoj sposobnosti da budu
same. Prepoznale su to jedna u dru- goj i to ovu seriju čini posebnom. Dopada mi se što nismo nametali da one po svaku cenu moraju bi- ti najbolje prijateljice, što njiho- vi razgovori nisu isprazne priče o momcima i izlascima, već inteli- gencija i iskrena osećanja. Nema mnogo serija koje su do tog nivoa dopustile da se odnos između glav- nih junaka postepeno razvija, da bi na kraju formirao zaista snažnu i emocijama nabijenu vezu. I čini mi se da je publika upravo zbog to- ga i zavolela Džejn i Moru. Šta vam je bio najveći iza- zov u kreiranju More? – Sve. (smeh). Osim toga što smo obe žene, nemam nijednu za- jedničku tačku s njom. Loša sam u logici i matematici, karakterno smo potpuno različite. Ja sam vi- še neko ko se prepušta trenutku i voli nepredvidivost i izazove, dok je za Moru život bez pravila pakao. Ali prijalo mi je to što je uvela ma- lo discipline u moj život. Svakako mi je najveći izazov bio njen po- sao. Bila sam sebi nezamisliva za forenzičarskim stolom kako seci- ram ljude i upotrebljavam sve me- dicinske termine koje sam neka- ko na kraju uspela da savladam, ali nikada ne znaš šta ti život no- si. Eto, na kraju sam upravo to ra- dila sedam sezona. Jeste li čitali romane Tes Geritsen, na kojima je za- snovana serija, pre nego što ste stali pred kamere? – Nisam. Scenario za seriju bio je moj prvi kontakt sa Tes i tada sam zbog pripreme prvi put pro- čitala dve njene knjige. Međutim, producentima se dopalo baš to što ranije nisam imala kontakta sa sa- držajem, pa su želeli da Moru za- snujem na nekoj svojoj viziji, da se ne držim toliko romana i onoga što bi ljubitelji Tes Geritsen voleli da vide u seriji. I čini mi se da je baš taj nov pristup doneo auten- tičnu svežinu. Inače, volim trilere i misterije, a uz Tes jedan od omi- ljenih autora u čijim delima uži- vam mi je Džon Grišam.
Sasha alexander, actress I speak Serbian often, nurturing the memory of my roots Did you know that behind her alias is the real name of Suzana Drobnjaković and that this famous Serbian-American is the daughter-in-law of the
legendary Sophia Loren? T hose who watched Dawson’s Creek, NCIS, Shameless or the third instalment of cult American blockbuster film Mission: Impossible might be surprised to find that the real name of actress Sasha Alexander, who ap- pears in all these titles, is actually called Suzana Drobnjaković! Born to an Italian father and a Serbian mother, she is extremely proud of her Balkan roots despite having spent her entire life in Amer- ica (she was born in Los Angeles). We’re currently watching Sasha Al- exander in the series Rizzoli & Isles on the FOX Crime channel, and it was actually this role of the blunt and pragmatic forensic scientist Maura Isles, whom she has portrayed over seven seasons and more than 105 episodes, that brought her world- wide fame, but also a precious friend- ship with her co-star Angie Harmon. In this exclusive interview for Ele- vate, the most famous Hollywood star with Serbian origins reveals the

sations aren’t hollow stories about guys and nights out, but rather in- telligence and honest feelings. There aren’t many shows that have allowed relations between the main charac- ters to develop to that level gradu- ally, only to ultimately form a truly strong and emotionally charged re- lationship. And it seems to me that that’s also precisely why the audience loved Jane and Maura.” What was your greatest challenge in creating the role of Maura Isles? “Everything [laughs]. Apart from the fact that we’re both wom- en, we have absolutely nothing in common. I’m bad at logic and maths, we have completely different char- acters. I’m more the type of person who surrenders to the moment and likes unpredictability and challenges, while a life without rules would be hell for Maura. But I liked the fact that she instilled some discipline in my life. The biggest challenge for me was definitely her job. I could nev- er have imagined myself at a foren- sic autopsy table, dissecting people and using all the medical terms that I somehow managed to master in the end, but you never know what life will bring you. And I ended up spending seven seasons doing pre- cisely that. Did you read Tess Gerrit- sen’s novels that formed the basis of the show prior to standing in front of the cameras? “I didn’t. The script for the show was my first contact with Tess, and as part of my preparations I then read two of her books for the first time. However, the producers liked the fact that I’d had no previous contact with the content, so they wanted me to base Maura on a vision of my own, and not to stick so much to the nov- els and what fans of Tess Gerritsen would like to see in the show. And it seems to me that it was precise- ly this new approach that brought some authentic freshness. Interest- ingly, I like thrillers and mysteries and, apart from Tess, one of my fa- vourite authors, whose works I en- joy, is John Grisham.”
memories that connect her to Serbia and how her journey led her to the heroine that is Maura Isles. “Actually, the enduring “friend- ship” with Maura left its mark on me. It’s impossible to portray someone for so long without acquiring at least some of their habits and character traits. Maura and I differ a lot. She is the essence of pure reason and pro- fessional coolness. Her logic cuts like a knife and that’s why she found the perfect counterbalance in Jane Riz- zoli, who is completely spontaneous, chilled and isn’t bothered about any of the rules without which my Mau- ra’s life would be possible. The truth is that I’m much closer to Jane than to Maura in my private life, though I do increasingly “catch” myself won- dering: “Hmm, how would Maura solve this problem?”, reveals this ac- tress who often boasts of her knowl- edge of Serbian, which – alongside English and Italian – is the third lan- guage that she speaks fluently. And so it was that, in one of the most popular late-night chat shows, the whole of America was able to watch Sasha teaching famous host Conan O’Brien how easy Serbian really is.” You also demonstrated that in the series, right? “Yes, but in a slightly different way than with Conan [laughs]. Our language is very exotic to foreign- ers. I often speak Serbian, because I think it’s important to nurture the memory of one’s roots. How- ever, with Conan I demonstrated that slightly juicier side of the Ser-
bian language, through original Ser- bian swear words of course, which was being recounted for months af- terwards. That’s nonetheless a lit- tle subtler in the series. Maura ex- plains, through a conversation with Jane and their colleagues, how easy a language Serbian is to learn; she converses with the victims of at- tackers whose methods are linked to crimes committed against Serbs during World War II. The produc- ers turned my links with Serbia in- to very interesting material to en- rich the series, and I’m glad that was so well accepted by the audience.” Your association with Riz- zoli & Isles lasted almost a decade. How are your mem- ories of filming for this se- ries? “The reason I loved this show from the start is that it was never a classic thriller, but nor did it have the standard series format that we were then accustomed to. The whole sto- ry focused on the wonderful friend- ship between two completely dif- ferent but equally successful and courageous women. That was always what I liked the most about Rizzoli & Isles, that naturalness and unobtru- siveness of theirs. They are real su- perwomen, but not in the sense of fighting criminals. Their strength is reflected in their ability to be alone. They recognised that in one anoth- er and that’s what makes this series special. I like the fact that we didn’t impose on them a need to be best friends at all costs; that their conver-
