A well-known Bel- grade hotel. In its lobby everything bubbles around athletes, three of whom attract particular attention. Athletically elegant, tall, handsome, success- ful – they are Serbia’s best volley- ball players, national team players Marko Podraščanin, Aleksandar Atanasijević and Srećko Lisinac - Wait, Liske, you came in a shirt! We aren’t getting our pic- ture taken for our ID cards – we hear Marko and Alexander joking at the expense of their colleague Srećko as we approach. - Guys, you’re in a good mood - we say to Serbia’s best volleyball play- ers. - Always – they respond in uni- son. - All of this is nice for us to hear. It will be our pleasure to talk about topics that are not volleyball related. They were perfect models.

I claim that I’ve never seen an- ything more beautiful in my life. The colours are incredible. And we could also go to Ha- waii for a bit! Let’s say that I am“brought”to New York by Milica Atlagić, the future pilot of the best airline, Air Serbia, who we send very warm regards on this occasion! SREĆKO: Guys, nothing can be com- pared with Rio de Janeiro. That city is beau- tiful. Although that relationship between the rich and the poor is more pronounced there than anywhere else.

They adore touring historical sites around the world, however, they tell us that nowhere is like Serbia and that their foreign teammates are delighted by our country u Srbiji i da su njihovi saigrači stranci oduševljeni našom zemljom Obožavaju da obilaze istorijske znamenitosti po svetu, ali kažu da nigde nije kao
