. OKTOBAR OCTOBER
Dragi putnici, Već šest godina pod imenom Er Srbija spajamo ljude i gradove. Me- đutim, u tih šest godina utkano je mnogo više, jer smo pod nekoliko drugih imena prethodno leteli od 1927. godine, zbog čega smo upisani u listu najstarijih svetskih kompanija na osmo mesto. Ponosni na naše na- sleđe, na zemlju za koju letimo više od devet decenija, na svakog zapo- slenog koji je utkao deo svog znanja kako bismo ponosno osvajali svet- sko nebo, radosno dočekujemo ovaj oktobar. Mesec u kom priroda oboji svaki kutak zlatnim nijansama jeste i mesec kada je 2013. godine pole- teo naš prvi avion ukrašen stilizovanim dvoglavim orlom. „Jednom kada probaš leteti, hodaćeš zemljom sa očima okrenutim ka nebu, zato što si gore bio i zato što se gore želiš vratiti“. Ovo je citat Leonarda da Vinčija koji naše kolege često koriste objašnjavajući zašto
Dear passengers,
We’ve now been connecting people and cities under the name of Air Ser- bia for six years. However, a much longer time is ingrained into those six years, given that we’ve own as a national carrier under several other names since 1927, ensuring we rank in eighth place on the list of the world’s oldest surviv- ing companies. We are proud of our heritage, of the country whose national carrier we’ve been for more than nine decades, of every employee who contrib- uted their share of expertise so that we can proudly conquer the international skies and happily welcome this October. The month during which nature paints every corner with golden tones is also the month when, back in 2013, our rst Air Serbia plane took to the skies, decorated with a stylised two-headed eagle. “Once you have tasted ight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long
vole da rade u avio-industriji. Naše oči i misli stalno su uprte ka nebu. Uvek spremni i nestrpljivi da uzletimo i od- vedemo vas do nekih novih kutaka planete. I dok su nam srca u oblaci- ma, noge su čvrsto na zemlji. Sigurno koračamo utabanim stazama pažljivo planirajući svaki naredni korak kako bismo bili još bolji i pružili još više. Dok se spremamo da ugasimo šest svećica na rođendanskoj torti, ne možemo a da se ne osvrnemo i na simboliku ovog broja. Lojalnost, po-
to return”~ this Leonardo da Vinci quote is of- ten cited by our colleagues when explaining why they love working in the aviation indus- try. Our eyes and minds are constantly turned skywards; always ready and waiting impatient- ly to take ight and lead you to new corners of the planet. And while our hearts are in the clouds, our feet are rmly on the ground. We walk rmly on paved paths, carefully planning every next move so that we can be even bet- ter and o er even more. As we prepare to blow out six candles on our birthday cake, we can’t help but look at the
Dok se spremamo da ugasimo šest svećica na rođendanskoj torti, ne možemo a da se ne osvrnemo i na simboliku ovog broja
As we prepare to blow out six candles on our birthday cake, we can’t help but look at the symbolic value of this number
svećenost, odgovornost, savesnost, idealizam i ljubav u najširem smislu te reči – sve su to osobine koje se pripisuju simbolici broja šest, a ujed- no i vrednosti koje negujemo u srpskoj nacionalnoj avio-kompaniji. Broj šest predstavlja brigu o drugima, snažnu želju da se sve uradi kako tre- ba, besprekornu pouzdanost, ljubaznost i uslužnost. Upravo to su postu- lati na kojima zasnivamo svoje poslovanje i pojmovi koji najbolje opisu- ju svakog pojedinačnog člana velike Er Srbija porodice. Obećavamo da ćemo nastaviti da rastemo zajedno sa vama. Obe- ćavamo da ćemo sa podjednakim žarom, entuzijazmom i predano- šću nastaviti da obavljamo posao koji predstavlja ogromnu odgovor- nost, ali i još veću privilegiju. Kažu da ne treba brojati godine, već učiniti da se godine broje. Želimo i vama i nama još mnogo srećnih i uspeš- nih godina! Uživajte u letu i srećan put.
symbolic value of this number. Loyalty, dedication, responsibility, mindfulness, idealism and love in the broadest sense of the word – these are all character- istics attributed to the symbolism of the number six, and at the same time are the values nurtured by us at the Serbian national carrier. The number six rep- resents care for others, a strong desire to do everything right, perfect reliabil- ity, kindness and politeness. These are the postulates on which we base our operations and the terms that best describe every individual member of the great Air Serbia family. We promise that we will continue growing together with you. We prom- ise that we will continue to do work that represents great responsibility, but also an even greater privilege, with equal passion, enthusiasm and dedication. They say that one should not count the years, but rather have many of them to be counted. We wish you and us many more happy and successful years! Enjoy your ight and have a nice trip.
Iskreno vaša, Er Srbija
Yours sincerely, Air Serbia

Nikola Olić je fotograf poreklom iz Beograda. Mada već dugo živi u Americi, fotografiše na raznim lokacijama širom sveta svojim vernim jeftinim Nikon aparatom. Sa putovanjima je davno počeo kao dete jatovaca, otac mu je bio pilot na B-707, a majka stjuardesa. Za Elevejt je izabrao jednu od svojih najinteresantnijih fotografija, uz kratak opis i komentar. Nikola Olić is a photographer who was born and raised in Belgrade. Although he’s been living in the U.S. for a long time, he engages in photography all over the world, with his trusty cheap Nikon camera. He began travelling long ago, as a child of Air Serbia’s predecessor JAT – his father was a B-707 pilot and his mother was a flight attendant. He selected one of his most popular photographs to share with us for this issue of Elevate.
Miodrag Dimitrijević Sobinac strastveni je ljubitelj sporta i (pop) kulture. Ovaj Vranjanac je u rodnom gradu završio osnovnu školu i gimnaziju, dok je u Beogradu diplomirao na Filološkom fakultetu, na grupi za srpsku književnost. Uživa u pisanju, a svrab prstiju ga je odveo do sportskog novinarstva i povremene književne kritike. U ovom broju nam donosi priču o legendarnom Džokeru. Miodrag “Sobinac” Dimitrijević is a passionate lover of sport and (pop) culture. A native of Vranje, it was there that he completed primary and high school, before graduating from the Faculty of Philology, in the Serbian Literature group. He enjoys writing, and his itchy fingers led him into sports journalism and occasional literary criticism. For this issue he brings us a story about the legendary Joker.
Jasminka Luković Jagličić rođena je Kragujevčanka koja je završila Mašinski fakultet u Kragujevcu i stekla zvanje diplomiranog inženjera mašinstva, ali su joj i duša i srce uvek bili uz prirodu i na strani prirode. Nije zato čudo što se nalazi na mestu direktora Prirodnjačkog centra Svilajnac, o kom tako nadahnuto govori u ovom broju, da ćete sigurno poželeti da ga posetite. Jasminka Luković Jagličić is a native of Kragujevac who graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in her home city as a mechanical engineer, but her heart and soul have always been with nature and on the side of nature. No wonder, then, that she finds herself in the position of director of the Natural History Centre of Serbia, which she speaks about with such enthusiasm in this issue that you will definitely want to visit it.
Havijer Vakas jedan je od onih koji su krivi za duh Španije u srpskoj prestonici, jer već godinama uređuje kulturni program u Institutu Servantes u Beogradu i vodi računa o saradnji srpskih i španskih Španijom nastavljajući da se usavršava, ali vas u Elevejtu vodi u svoj Madrid. Javier Vakas is among those who are “guilty” for the spirit of Spain being present in the Serbian capital, as he has spent years organising the cultural programme at umetnika, organizacija i institucija. Ovog leta Beograd je zamenio the Cervantes Institute in Belgrade, while he takes responsibility for cooperation between Serbian and Spanish artists, organisations and institutions. This summer he swapped Belgrade for Spain, continuing his advancement, but for this issue he takes you to his native Madrid.

NA PUTU: SRĐAN TIMAROV, GLUMAC ON THE ROAD: SRĐAN TIMAROV, ACTOR
GLEDAO SAM TOP GAN BAR PUTA I’VE WATCHED TOP GUN AT LEAST 200 TIMES
WHAT DON’T YOU BOARD A PLANE WITHOUT?
I don’t board a plane without a sense of excite- ment that I’m about to y. Among practical items, I carry a charger for my phone and similar stu , so I can survive until my suitcase arrives. I also carry protein bars, almonds, as I often don’t like the food I receive. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT PLANES? My enthusiasm for aeroplanes dates all the way back to my childhood. My favourite lm was Top Gun, which I certainly watched two hundred times. I collected model planes, assembling them, and of course I wanted to become a pilot. The ex- citement of ying doesn’t cease, and I even had the opportunity to operate a small plane back in 1990, that dream of mine also came true! I’m still fascinated by the fact that you can reach the other side of the planet so quickly; that’s one magic spell that still binds me. I know every time I board a plane that a completely di erent world awaits me. WHICH DESTINATION HAS REMAINED IN YOUR MEMORIES? The rst place that comes to mind is Bali, Indone- sia, 2004. Bali is one of the most fascinating and exciting places I’ve seen in my life. I was in Japan a year ago with my girlfriend Danijela. I’m still im- pacted by my impressions from that trip. It turned out that the Far East has the strongest impression on me. When it comes to cities, Rome is the one that has the greatest atmosphere and charm for me. But Bali is number one! WHY DO YOU LOVE BELGRADE? That’s a complicated question. I primarily love Bel- grade because it doesn’t give in; it’s a strong city. It has preserved its irresistible appeal and charm, mostly through the people who live there. Bel- grade never ceases to amaze me, o ering a mas- sive range of contents despite being an intimate and small city. Even boredom is fun there.
Tekst/Words: Ljiljana Perović Fotografije/Photography: Vesna Lalić
KOJA VAM JE DESTINACIJA OSTALA U SEĆANJU? Prvo što mi padne na pamet je Bali, Indonezija, 2004. Bali je nešto najfascinantnije i najuzbudljivije što sam video u životu. Sa devojkom Danijelom sam pre godinu dana bio u Japanu. I dalje sam pod utiskom tog puta. Ispada da Daleki istok ostavlja najjači utisak na mene. Od gradova Rim po meni ima najviše atmosfere i šmeka. Ali Bali je broj jedan! ZAŠTO VOLITE BEOGRAD? To je kompleksno pitanje. Beograd vo- lim pre svega zato što se ne da, to je je- dan snažan grad. Sačuvao je svoj neo- doljivi šmek i šarm, uglavnom kroz ljude koji žive u njemu. Beograd ne prestaje da me iznenađuje, nudi ogroman sadr- žaj, a opet je intiman i mali grad. U nje- mu je čak i dosada zabavna.
BEZ ČEGA NE ULAZITE U AVION? Ne ulazim u avion bez uzbuđenja što ću le- teti. Od praktičnih stvari nosim punjač za te- lefon i slično, da mogu da preživim dok mi dođe kofer. Nosim i proteinske barove, ba- deme, često mi klopa koju dobijem ne od- govara. ZAŠTO VOLITE AVIONE? Oduševljenost avionima kod mene dati- ra još od detinjstva. Moj omiljeni film je bio Top gan , gledao sam ga sigurno 200 pu- ta. Skupljao sam makete aviona, sklapao ih i naravno želeo da budem pilot. Ushićenje le- tenjem ne prestaje, čak sam imao priliku da 1990. vozim jedan mali avion, i taj san mi se ostvario! I dalje sam fasciniran činjenicom da tako brzo stigneš na drugi kraj plane- te, to je čarolija koja me drži. Svaki put kad uđem u avion znam da me čeka neki potpu- no drugi svet.

Frankfurt Najveći svetski sajam knjiga
Frankfurt World’s largest book fair
Više od 500 godina Sajam knjiga u Frankfurtu je najvažniji svetski sajam knjiga koji okuplja ljubitelje pisane reči iz celog sveta. Ove godine održaće se od 16. do 20. oktobra i ugostiće više od 7.000 izlagača, a počasni gost biće Norveška, koja će predstaviti svoju bogatu književnu tradiciju. U vreme u kom caruju moderne tehnologije organizatori sajma, zajedno sa izdavačima, pokušaće da vrate knjigu ljudima, koji pod pritiskom društvenih mreža danas čitaju manje. Amsterdam Muzički događaj godine Glavna prestonica elektronske muzike tokom leta je Ibica, ali u hladnim danima ta prestižna titula pripada Amsterdamu. Savršeno vreme da posetite ovaj grad i osetite muzički ritam grada je oktobar, kad se održava Amsterdam Dance Event . Tada na svakom koraku možete čuti odličnu muziku i najbolje svetske di-džejeve, upoznati masu istomišljenika i ljubitelja elektronike, a najveći problem biće vam da izaberete žurku na koju ćete ići. Ove godine ADE se održava od 16. do 20. oktobra i na njemu vas čeka više od 1.000 dešavanja i 2.500 umetnika.
The Frankfurt Book Fair has held the place of honour as the world’s most important book fair for more than 500 years, and to- day it still brings together lovers of the written word from around the world. Tak- ing place this year from 16 th to 20 th Octo- ber, it will host more than 7,000 exhibitors, while the guest country of honour show- casing its rich literary tradition will be Nor- way. At a time when modern technolo- gies reign supreme, the organisers of the fair will join forces with publishers to try to encourage a return to books among the people, who are reading less today. Amsterdam Music event of the year The island of Ibiza holds the title of the cap- ital of electronic music during the summer months, but that prestigious title belongs to Amsterdam during the time of colder days. The perfect time to visit this city and feel its musical rhythm is October, when the Amsterdam Dance Event traditional- ly takes place. Then you can hear great mu- sic and sets of the world’s best DJs at every turn, meet masses of like-minded people and lovers of electronic, while the biggest problem will be choosing which parties to attend. The ADE takes place this year from 16 th to 20 th October, with more than 1,000 events and 2,500 artists awaiting guests.

Madrid Tropical forest at the heart of the city The world’s greenest train station is located in Madrid and represents a true mini botanical garden, but also a sanctuary from the noise and chaos of the streets. The station in question is Atocha Station, which has 7,000 plants, so while you await a fast train to Barcelona you can walk between Polynesian coconuts, royal palm trees and banana plants from the Philippines. Tourists often visit this station purely out of curiosity, while there are those who take advantage of this tropical paradise to drink co ee or read in tranquility.
Madrid Tropska šuma usred grada
Najzelenija železnička stanica na svetu nalazi se u Madridu i
predstavlja pravu malu botaničku baštu, kao i utočište od buke i haosa na ulicama. Reč je o stanici Atoča, koja ima 7.000 biljaka, pa dok čekate brzi voz za Barselonu, možete da se prošetate između polinezijskih kokosa, kraljevskih palmi i stabala banana s Filipina. Turisti često posećuju ovu stanicu i iz čiste znatiželje, a ima i onih koji koriste ovaj tropski raj za ispijanje kafe ili čitanje knjige u tišini.

Ljubljana Maraton za najjače
Ljubljana Marathon for strongers The Ljubljana Marathon traditionally attracts the largest number of runners from the region, while the reason for this is the extremely attractive race route and the support that residents of the Slovenian capital sel essly provide to all runners year after year. This year’s 24 th Ljubljana Marathon will be held on 27 th October. In addition to the marathon and half marathon events, there will be races for secondary and primary school children, as well as a handbike half marathon. Although initially intended primarily for local runners, the Ljubljana Marathon soon grew into an internationally recognised competition that o ers healthy fun for all ages. Berlin Largest open-air gallery The German capital is known, among other things, for the famous Berlin Wall, which once divided not only Germany into two East and West parts, but also Europe and the whole world. It is for this reason that the largest open-air gallery in the world has been created here. The southeast side of the city, or the wall, has become the East Side Gallery, containing over a hundred murals that represent peace and freedom. The murals were painted by more than a hundred artists from 20 countries around the world, with the aim of showing that this is not just a German story, but a universal human story.
Ljubljanski maraton tradicionalno privlači najviše trkača iz regiona, a razlog za to je izuzetno atraktivna trkačka ruta i podrška koju žitelji slovenačke prestonice iz godine u godinu nesebično pružaju svim trkačima. Ove godine maraton će se 24. put održati 27. oktobra. Osim maratona i polumaratona, biće tu i trke za decu i osnovce, kao i hendbajk polumaraton. Iako je u početku bio uglavnom namenjen lokalnim trkačima, maraton u Ljubljani ubrzo je prerastao u međunarodno priznato takmičenje koje nudi zdravu zabavu za sve uzraste.

Berlin Najveća galerija na otvorenom
Glavni grad Nemačke, Berlin, poznat je između ostalog i po čuvenom Berlinskom zidu, koji je nekad delio ne samo Nemačku na dva dela već i Evropu i čitav svet na Istok i Zapad. Upravo zbog toga tu je nastala najveća galerija na svetu na otvorenom. Jugoistočna strana grada, odnosno zid, postao je East Side Gallery i sadrži više od 100 murala koji predstavljaju mir i slobodu. Murale je oslikalo više od 100 umetnika iz 20 zemalja sveta u želji da pokažu da ovo nije samo priča Nemaca već univerzalna ljudska priča.

PTICA U OGLEDALU U samom centru Dalasa, u Tek- sasu, mesto za nov gradski park izniklo je kao iz čarobnog šešira – niotkuda. Jedan bučan auto-put su poklopili i na po- klopac stavili park i mnogo ze- lenila. Američki gradovi sve vi- še žude za trgovima i javnim mestima, pa je park brzo po- stao kulturni, socijalni i muzički centar, situiran oko bine koja sa donje strane nadstrešnice ima gomilu ogledala, zelenih zbog okolnog drveća koje se u njemu ogleda. Baš kao iz nekog mađi- oničarskog šešira, ovaj golub se našao na pravom mestu u pra- vo vreme, da u centru Dalasa uživa u ko zna čemu. BIRD IN THE MIRROR In the very heart of Dallas, Tex- as, the site of a new city park emerged as if from a magi- cian’s hat - out of nowhere. One noisy highway has been covered and topped with a park lled with greenery. U.S. cities are in- creasingly crying out for public squares and places, which is why this park has quickly become a centre of culture, socialising and music, revolving around a cen- tral stage with an abundance of mirrors attached to the under- side of its awning, which creates a green scene due to the re ec- tions of surrounding trees. As if emerging from a magician’s hat, this pigeon found itself in the right place at the right time, to enjoy who knows what in down- town Dallas.

I STRANCI ŽELE NAŠU BESU EVEN FOREIGNERS WANT OUR “BESA”
N akon 10 godina domaća publika može da vas gle- da kako glumite na maternjem jeziku. Šta je bilo ključno u odluci da se posle toliko vremena vrati- te na srpske TV ekrane u seriji Besa ? – Posle prvog čitanja bilo mi je jasno da se sa ovako kva- litetno napisanim scenariom na srpskom jeziku nisam nikad sreo. Posle višegodišnjeg i promišljenog rada na likovima, do- gađajima, situacijama koji krase ovu priču producenti su tako- đe imali zanimljivu zamisao. „Obratiti se stranom gledaocu“ i potruditi se da je njemu ispričamo. Ova dva argumenta su Publika u Srbiji konačno ima priliku da u glavnoj ulozi u jednoj domaćoj seriji gleda Radivoja Rašu Bukvića, glumca koji je poslednjih godina osvajao Evropu i Holivud igrajući u filmovima „Transporter“, „Taken“, „A Good Day to Die Hard“
A fter a break of 10 years, the audience of your homeland is nally able to watch you act in your mother tongue. What was the key to you deciding to return to Serbian TV screens after so much time in the series “Besa”? - It was clear to me after the rst reading that I’d never pre- viously come across such a well-written script in Serbian. After many years of thoughtful work on the characters, events and sit- uations that comprise this story, the producers also had an inter- esting idea. “Address a foreign viewer” and strive to tell the story to him. These two arguments were enough to compel me to ac- The Serbian public has nally been given the opportunity to see Radivoje ‘Raša’ Bukvić in the lead role of a domestic series, after this actor spent recent years conquering Europe and Hollywood with roles in the lms Transporter, Taken, A Good Day to Die Hard etc.

Da li je na- ša zemlja dostigla nivo svetskih produkcija? – Srbija je u poslednjih nekoliko godina postala vrlo primamljiva za filmske usluge najpoznatijim svetskim studijima i produk- cijama. Razloge toga treba tražiti u zakonu koji obezbeđuje povraćaj poreza svim stra- nim filmskim kompanijama, što je svetski standard, ali i u visokom nivou kvaliteta ra- da naših filmskih radnika, koji zasad pre- mašuju očekivanja, a poneki i oduševljava- ju strane producente koji su do sada snimali u Srbiji.

Our product has reached the glob- al standard of a major series on Net x, which ex- plains why so many European, Asian and Amer- ican television companies have so far shown an interest in “Besa”. Serbia is becoming a world destination for shooting foreign productions. Shooting of sev- eral foreign series and lms has just been com- pleted, with an increasing number of our lm in- dustry workers having been engaged in these productions. Has our country reached the level of world productions? - Serbia has become very enticing for lm ser- vices among the world’s most famous studios and production companies in recent years.The reasons for this should be sought in the law providing tax refunds to all foreign lm companies, which is a world standard, but also in the high quality of the level of work of our lm industry workers, which currently exceeds expectations and often delights foreign producers who have shot in Serbia to date. As far as I’m aware, gures show that the tenden- cy to shoot foreign lms in our country is on the rise, and that’s encouraging to all of us.

Then, on 15th June that same year, Etihad EY 71 ights were launched between Abu Dhabi and Belgrade, on which JAT Airways had its own market- ing code. Subsequently, on 1st August 2013, a Strategic Partnership Agreement was signed between the Government of the Republic of Serbia and Etihad Airways, according to which 51 per cent of shares in the Serbian airline re- mained under Serbian state ownership, while the national airline of the United Arab Emirates became the owner of a 49-per-cent stake.

ZAVRŠENA NAJVEĆA PROMOTIVNA AKCIJA NACIONALNOG AVIO PREVOZNIKA NATIONAL CARRIER’S BIGGEST PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN COMPLETED ER SRBIJA OBRADOVALA . PUTNIKA AIR SERBIA DELIGHTS 250,000 PASSENGERS
A ir Serbia commemorated the start of its sev- enth year of operations with its largest pro- motional campaign to date, o ering 250,000 economy-class seats to as many as 35 popu- lar destinations under extremely attractive prices. Sales of these promotional tickets were completed during the course of the past month, with the tickets valid for direct ights taking o from 1st November 2019 with return ights until 31st March 2020. In an e ort to meet travellers’individual wishes and needs, and to improve its o er, Air Serbia o ered dis- counts on one-way and return tickets under Standard and Light fares – with and without luggage respective- ly. Serbia’s national carrier strove to ensure the choice of destinations was as wide as possible, which is why most of the destinations served by the airline were en- compassed in this promotional campaign. “We are delighted to be able to reward travellers for their years of loyalty and trust. As always, our goal is to o er our standard good service at the best pric- es,” said Air Serbia Commercial and Strategy Director Jirzi Marek. Marek stressed that the current o er ena- bles the wish lists of our passengers, which include a large number of destinations in Europe and the Med- iterranean, to be incomparably closer and more eas- ily accessible. The campaign attracted so much interest that its the seven-day duration was extended by another sev- en days in September, with the continuation of the pro- motion marked by a special activity organised at Bel- grade’s Delta City shopping centre, where youngsters and their parents were able to compete and win val- uable ight tickets. “We wanted to meet the needs of everyone who didn’t manage to buy cheap tickets in the rst seven days. The great interest is con rmation that this cam- paign was implemented at the right juncture and that travellers, but also the company, can be very satis ed. The impatience with which the market awaits cam- paigns of this kind has been shown once again, and we’re delighted to have been able to always o er more,” said Marek on this occasion.
U lazak u sedmu godinu po- slovanja Er Srbija obeleži- la je do sada najvećom pro- motivnom akcijom, tokom koje je ponuđeno 250.000 sedišta u ekonomskoj klasi do čak 35 popular- nih destinacija po izuzetno atraktiv- nim cenama. Prodaja promotivnih avio-karte završena je tokom prote- klog meseca, a karte važe za direktne letove od 1. novembra 2019. sa povrat- kom do 31. marta 2020. godine. Kako bi izašla u susret individu- alnim željama i potrebama putnika i unapredila svoju ponudu, Er Srbija je ponudila popuste za povratne i karte u jednom pravcu, u Standard i Light tarifama, odnosno sa prtljagom i bez njega. Nacionalni avio-prevoznik po- trudio se da izbor destinacija bude što veći, pa je promotivnom kampanjom obuhvaćena većina destinacija do ko- jih kompanija leti. “Veoma nas raduje što smo u pri- lici da nagradimo putnike za godine odanosti i poverenja. Kao i uvek, cilj nam je da ponudimo našu standardno
dobru uslugu po najboljim cenama”, izjavio je Jirži Marek, direktor za ko- mercijalu i strategiju Er Srbije . Marek je naglasio da aktuelna ponuda omo- gućava da liste želja naših putnika, na kojima je veliki broj destinacija u Evro- pi i na Mediteranu, budu neuporedivo bliže i lakše dostupne. Akcija je naišla na toliko intereso- vanje da je sedmodnevno trajanje pro- duženo za još sedam dana u septem- bru, a nastavak promocije obeležen je posebnom akcijom u TC Delta siti u Beogradu, gde su mališani, ali i njiho- vi roditelji, biti u prilici da se takmiče i osvoje vredne avio-karte. „Želeli smo da izađemo u susret svima koji u prvih sedam dana nisu us- peli da kupe povoljne karte. Veliko in- teresovanje je potvrda da je akcija reali- zovana u pravom trenutku i da putnici, ali i kompanija, mogu da budu veoma zadovoljni. Još jednom se pokazalo sa kolikim nestrpljenjem tržište očekuje akcije tog tipa i raduje nas što smo bi- li u prilici da ponudimo više“, izjavio je tom prilikom Jirži Marek.

1910.
N ajveća i najlepša od četiri ka- pije Beograda u doba kada je ovaj grad bio turska varoš bi- la je čuvena Stambol kapija. Nalazila se između današnjeg Narodnog pozorišta i spomenika knezu Mihailu na Trgu republike, a ime je dobila po putu za Carigrad koji je tu počinjao. Uprkos svojoj lepoti, kapija je upam- ćena kao mesto na kojem su Turci srp- ske pobunjenike mučki ubijali. Stoga je knez Mihailo Obrenović 1866. godi- ne naredio da bude srušena kako bi Be- ograd umesto podsetnika na stradanje dobio simbol napretka. A tih šezdese- tih godina 19. veka, ulice Beograda, ko- ji je ležao na putu između istoka i zapa- da, bile su mračne i uske, ali se svet sve više prilagođavao zapadnjačkim ukusi- ma. U to vreme, nakon oslobođenja, ra- đa se potreba za prosvetom, kulturom, naukom. Igraju se prve pozorišne pred- stave, ali u nedostatku prostora izvođene su u gostionicama ili hotelskim salama... Zato je knez Mihailo Obrenović obećao da će sazidati teatar. Nažalost, nije doži- veo da vidi ostvarenje svoje zamisli jer je 1868. godine ubijen u Košutnjaku. Ipak, prva predstava u novoizgrađenoj zgra- di pozorišta krajem 1869. bila je posve- ćena njemu i zvala se Posmrtna slava kneza Mihaila. Nakon što je trajno uspostavljena srpska vlast i kapija porušena, oblast trga ipak je dugo ostala neuređena, a kao jedina zgrada tokom tri decenije stajalo je Narodno pozorište. I baš po toj zgradi, prostor današnjeg Trga re- publike prvobitno se zvao Pozorišni trg. Današnji simbol trga, spomenik knezu Mihailu, izgrađen je 1882. go- dine, pa je trg počeo da lagano dobija svoje prve obrise. Krajem 1892. tuda je svečano prošao prvi tramvaj, prva linija
Palata Reuniona , u kojoj je bio smešten bioskop Jadran , izgrađena je 1930. go- dine. Mada se oko njenog izgleda lo- me koplja skoro čitav vek, ona je i da- lje jedan od simbola Trga. Tamo gde danas stoji zgrada Do- ma štampe, pre Drugog svetskog rata nalazile su se brojna dotrajala zdanja načičkana trgovačkim radnjama. Ve- ćina je uništena u bombardovanju 6. aprila 1941. godine. Po završetku rata u blizini su jedno vreme bili grobni- ca i spomenik palim borcima Crvene armije, da bi kasnije ostaci preneti na Groblje oslobodilaca Beograda. Nared- nih godina nikla je i najveća zgrada na Trgu, Dom štampe, u kojoj su smešte- ni Kulturni centar Beograda sa galeri- jama, Međunarodni pres-centar, Grad- ska kafana… Nedavno je Beograd dobio svoj centralni trg u novom ruhu, više od vek i po otkako je ovaj trg počeo da se formira. Napravljena je raskošna i prostrana pešačka zona, postavljeno je 12 žardinjera sa ukrasnim drvećem, četiri saobraćajne trake, pametne klu- pe s besplatnim internetom, senzori- ma za temperaturu, kvalitet vazduha i buku, više od 100 svetiljki na daljinsko upravljanje čije svetlo može da se pri- lagođava događajima koji se na Trgu organizuju, parking za bicikle... Poseb- nom obradom granita, na pešačkom delu obeleženo je mesto na kojem se nalazila Stambol kapija, a na pojedi- nim pločama granita biće obeleženo i mesto gde su sahranjivani crvenoar- mejci pali u borbi za oslobođenje Be- ograda 1944. godine. Sve to krasi novi Trg republike u Beogradu, ali on ostaje ono staro, do- bro mesto koje čuva sećanja na istori- ju i kulturu prestonice, ali i hiljade pr- vih ljubavnih sastanaka...
gradskog prevoza u Beogradu, koja je preko Pozorišnog trga povezivala Ka- lemegdan i Slaviju. Između dva svet- ska rata tu je bila okretnica tramvaja, koja je, zajedno sa šinama, posle Dru- gog svetskog rata uklonjena. Novi život Trgu dali su i boemi, koji su se okupljali u zgradi na mestu današnjeg Narodnog muzeja. Pozna- ta pod imenom Kod konjske zadnjice , kultna kafana Dardaneli bila je jedna od najpoznatijih kafana starog Beogra- da. Krajem 19. veka tu su rado svraćali glumci Narodnog pozorišta, pa Darda- neli postaju sastajalište intelektualnog Beograda. Tu su pisani članci za novi- ne, pozorišne kritike odmah nakon od- gledane predstave. Redovni gosti bili su Đura Jakšić, Milovan Glišić, Vlada Jovanović, Stevan Sremac, Janko Ve- selinović, Vojislav Ilić... Zgrada je srušena 1901, da bi dve godine kasnije na tom mestu nikla Uprava fondova, zdanje današnjeg Narodnog muzeja. Na mestu gde se danas nalazi omanji park, pored Na- rodnog pozorišta, do Drugog svetskog rata bili su kafana i bioskop Kolarac , koji su ime dobili po vlasniku zgrade i dobrotvoru Iliji Milosavljeviću Kolarcu.

1935.
T he largest and most beautiful of Belgrade’s four gates during the period when the city was a Turk- ish town was the famous Stam- bol Gate. It was located between today’s National Theatre and the monument to Prince Mihailo on Republic Square, while it was named after the road that led from there to Istanbul. Despite its beauty, the gate was re- membered as the place where the Turks tortured and killed Serbian rebels. That was why Prince Mihailo Obrenović or- dered in 1866 that it be demolished and replaced with a symbol of progress in- stead of a reminder of the suffering of Belgrade. And back during the 1860s, the streets of Belgrade – which sat on the road between East and West – were dark and narrow, while the world was in- creasingly adapting to Western tastes. That post-liberation time saw a need arise for education, culture and science. The first theatre plays were performed, but the absence of a bespoke space meant that they were performed in inns or hotel halls... That’s why Prince Mihailo prom- ised to build a theatre. He unfortunate- ly didn’t live to see the realisation of his idea, as he was assassinated in Košutn- jak Forest in 1868. Nevertheless, the first play performed in the newly constructed theatre building at the end of 1869 was dedicated to him and called “The Post- humous Glory of Prince Mihailo”. Following the permanent establish- ing of the Serbian government and the demolition of the gate, the area of the square remained unregulated for a long time, with the National Theatre standing for three decades as the only building in the area. And it was after this building that the area of today’s Republic Square was originally called Theatre Square. The symbol of the square today, the mon-

ument to Prince Mihailo, was erected in 1882, so the square began gradual- ly gaining its first contours. It was from here, at the end of 1892, that the first tram ceremoniously embarked on the first Belgrade city transport line, con- necting Kalemegdan and Slavija via The- atre Square. The tram terminal was lo- cated there in the period between the two world wars, before being removed – along with the rails – after World War II. New life was also brought to the square by the Bohemians who gathered in the building that stood on the site of today’s National Museum. Known under the nickname“At the Horse’s Behind”, the cult kafana tavern “Dardaneli” was one of old Belgrade’s most famous taverns. Actors of the National Theatre happily came here at the end of the 19 th centu- ry, and “Dardaneli” became a meeting place for Belgrade intellectuals. There newspaper articles and theatre reviews were written immediately after shows. Regular guests included the likes of Đu- ra Jakšić, Milovan Glišić, Vlada Jovano- vić, Stevan Sremac, Janko Veselinović and Vojislav Ilić. The building of the kafana was de- molished in 1901, only for the building of the Fund Mortgage Bank to emerge two years later – as the original occupant of the building that houses today’s Nation- al Museum. Until World War II, the site beside the National Theatre that’s today occupied by a small park was home to the ‘Kolarac’ tavern and cinema, named after the owner of the building and ben- efactor Ilija Milosavljević Kolarac. Reun- ion Palace, which housed the‘Jadran’cin- ema, was built in 1930. And although its appearance has been a cause of dispute for almost a century, it remains as one of the symbols of the Square. The area today occupied by the
building of Press House had numer- ous dilapidated buildings packed with merchants’ workshops prior to World War II. Most of them were destroyed during the bombing of 6 th April 1941. Upon the conclu- sion of the war, a tomb and mon- ument to the fallen soldiers of the Red Army were situated nearby for a while, only for the remains to lat- er be transferred to the Cemetery of the Liberators of Belgrade. It was during the following years that this square’s largest building emerged - Press House, which houses the Bel- grade Cultural Centre with galler- ies, the International Press Centre, the “City Tavern”... Belgrade’s central square re- cently received a new look, more than a century and a half after its formation was launched. A lavish and spacious pedestrian area has been created, 12 flowerbeds with ornamental trees, four lanes for traf- fic, smart benches with free inter- net, sensors for temperature, air quality and noise, over 100 lights that are controlled remotely and can be adapted to events organ- ised on the Square, a parking area for bicycles etc. Specially adapted granite on the pedestrianised area marks the spot once occupied by Stambol Gate, while individual gran- ite slabs will also mark the origianl burial site of the Red Army soldiers who fell in the fight to liberate Bel- grade in 1944. All of this adorns the new Re- public Square in Belgrade, but it re- mains that same good old place that preserves memories of the history and culture of the capital, but also countless first dates...
