MASLENITSA WEEK The Moscow Maslenitsa Festival, which is dedicated to bidding farewell to winter and welcoming the arrival of spring, tra- ditionally begins seven days before Lent. This year it is being celebrated from 8 th to 14 th March. One of the Russian nation‘s fa- vourite holidays, it is marked by folk joy, mass walks and musical events. Pancakes represent the main symbol of Maslenitsa. They are baked on the streets and symbo- lise the sun and the coming of spring. The holiday culminates with the burning of a straw scarecrow on a bonfire, while pan- cakes are thrown into the fire to represent the end of the cold winter. Festival Moskovska maslenica , posvećen ispraćaju zime i dolasku proleća, tradici- onalno počinje sedam dana pre Velikog posta. Ove godine praznuje se od 8. do 14. marta i jedan je od omiljenih narodnih praznika koji protiče u znaku narodnog veselja, šetnji i muzičkih dešavanja. Glav- ni simbol Maslenice su palačinke, koje se peku na ulicama i simbolizuju sunce i do- lazak proleca. Na kraju praznika na loma- či se spaljuje strašilo od slame, a u vatru se bacaju i palačinke, što predstavlja od- lazak hladne zime.

FLAMINGO STOPOVER Larnaca is said to be a city with two faces – on one side is the historic city built on the ruins of the ancient city of Kition, while on the other is a modern and prestigious urban hub. It is increasingly finding itself on the tourist map of many travellers, who don’t miss out on the opportunity to tour the city’s fortress, which dates back to the 14 th century. Representing the cornerstone of Cypriot heritage, the fortress offers an awe-inspiring tour of the past, while part of it is converted into a theatre during the summer months. Among Larnaca’s attractions is the nearby Salt Lake, which is a stopover site for migrating flamingos. Za Larnaku kažu da je grad sa dva lica – s jedne strane je istorijski grad podignut na ostacima antičkog grada Kition, a s druge moderno i prestižno mesto. Sve češće se nalazi na turističkoj mapi mnogih putnika, koji prilikom posete ne propuštaju da obi- đu gradsku tvrđavu sagrađenu još u 14. veku. Ona predstavlja kamen temeljac ki- parskog nasleđa i nudi neverovatnu turu kroz prošlost, a tokom letnjih meseci deo tvrđave se pretvara u pozorište. Jedna od zanimljivosti u Larnaki jeste i obližnje Ve- liko slano jezero, koje predstavlja svrati- šte flamingosa.

ONLINE BERLINALE The Berlin International Film Festival, which is usually held in February, has been po- stponed and the competition will be held online, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, from 1 st to 5 th March.

Međunarodni filmski festival u Berlinu, ko- ji se obično održava u februaru, odložen je, a takmičenje ce biti održano onlajn zbog pandemije korona virusa od 1. do 5. mar- ta.
