According to the census of 2011, Serbia has a population of 7,120,666 citizens and stretches over a territory of 88,509 km2. Although ranked only 100th on the list of countries by popu- lation and 115th by area, its scientists, artists, sportsmen and women have often put Serbia at the forefront of the world’s attention, making its contribution to history more significant than that measured only by numbers. WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS of SERBIA? Numerous settlements on Serbian territory existed in pre- history and in ancient times. In the 7th century, the Annals of Novak Djoković Nikola Tesla the Kingdom of the Franks referred to the “Sorbs”, and later in the 10th century, “Servia” was mentioned by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Porfirogenit. The first Serbian kingdom was declared in 1217 under the crown of the descendants of the Nemanjić dynasty, one of whom was the Serbian enlight- ened statesman St. Sava (1174–1236). In modern times, Serbia was internationally recognized at the Berlin Congress held in 1878. From the end of the First World War until 2006, Serbia was part of Yugoslavia. Today’s Repub- lic of Serbia is an official candidate for acquiring the status of European Union membership. Miroslav’s Gospel Nemanjić dynasty www.serbia.travel 2 | 3 WHAT IS SERBIA LIKE? Serbia is ancient and contemporary; traditional and exotic; with mountainous scenery contrasting with lowland lying plains; mild and challenging. As Serbia’s territory has been changed and shifted, expanded and shrunk throughout its turbulent historical evolution, the quality of what Serbia of- fers tourists today is of a rich and diverse nature. A variety of valuable cultural-historical monuments support this. A mixture of indigenous and global influences is reflected in the country’s architecture, art, living styles, culinary art and in its broad-based culture. The nightlife of the Serbian capi- tal city, Belgrade, and its other cities and towns is vibrant and lively in contrast to the serene, relaxing tranquillity of its provinces where nature combines with the eco-environment to provide many opportunities to escape city life. Belgrade Fortress Wake up in BELGRADE! BELGRADE There is a famous thought expressed by the Serbian writer museum of the metropolis with its romantic Ružica Church and aphorist Dušan Radović, who wrote: “Whoever was lucky and St. Parascheva’s Chapel; the Museum of Natural Sciences enough to wake up in Belgrade this morning can consider and the Military Museum; and the “Victor” monument – that he has achieved quite enough in life for today. To insist the most popular monument in Belgrade, sculpted by Ivan on anything more would be unseemly.” If you happen to be Meštrović. The towering Belgrade Fortress also provides a tourist, waking up in Belgrade is a good start to the day; spectacular views of the city – the confluence of the Sava and as soon as you find yourself in the city streets, you “will have the Danube rivers as well as Great War Island. achieved” and experienced so much more.

Raičković, Prosopomorphic Vessels from Moesia Superior Starinar LVIII/2008, 135-153 SNEŽANA NIKOLIĆ, Institute of Archaeology, Belgrade ANGELINA RAIČKOVIĆ, Institute of Archaeology, Belgrade PROSOPOMORPHIC VESSELS FROM MOESIA SUPERIOR1 UDC: Received: February 19, 2009 DOI: Accepted: May 04, 2009 Short communication Abstract: The prosopomorphic vessels from Moesia Superior had the form of beakers varying in outline but similar in size. They were wheel-thrown, mould-made or manufactured by using a combination of wheel-throwing and mould-made appliqués. Given that face vessels are considerably scarcer than other kinds of pottery, more than fifty finds from Moesia Superior make an enviable collection. In this and other provinces face vessels have been recovered from military camps, civilian settlements and necropolises, which suggests that they served more than one purpose. It is generally accepted that the faces-masks gave a protective role to the vessels, be it to protect the deceased or the family, their house and possessions. More than forty of all known finds from Moesia Superior come from Viminacium, a half of that number from necropolises. Although tangible evidence is lacking, there must have been several local workshops producing face vessels. The number and technological characteristics of the discovered vessels suggest that one of the workshops is likely to have been at Viminacium, an important pottery-making centre in the second and third centuries. Key words: The prosopomorphic vessels, Viminacium, Moesia Superior, 2nd /3rd century AD. he main characteristic of prosopomor- functioned as burial urns.4 These curious vessels show phic vessels is that they display a human various shapes, manufacturing techniques and sizes, Tface or basic facial features: the eyes, but are considerably less frequent than most Roman eyebrows, nose and mouth, quite often also a beard, forms.

The main objectives were support- ing the archaeology-related creative sectors to operate transnationally and to increase the knowledge of common Roman history through the most important archaeological sites. Additionally, there was an objective to increase the audience with an integrated approach and modern technology, transforming a non-audience into a new audience and changing the opinion that archaeology is something boring or too elitist.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Several Cultural Events Marked the Month of October in Serbia Abstract Several large-scale cultural events took place in Serbia during October. With a number of manifestations held throughout the country, the Serbian Orthodox Church marked a great jubilee - 800 years of its autonomous status (autocephaly) from the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Apart from this remarkably important anniversary, other significant cultural events during October included some of the most visited gatherings in Belgrade, such as the 64th International Book Fair. In connection to these events, the general public has shown additional interest in Serbian Church’s decoration of the country president Aleksandar Vučić and the Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency member Milorad Dodik, as well as the settlement through which the missing fragment of the medieval, UNESCO-protected manuscript „Miroslav Gospel” was retrieved from Russia. Other cultural events also included the 35th Belgrade Jazz Festival and the first major retrospective of the world-renowned performance artist Marina Abramović in her hometown, titled „The Cleaner“, hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Arts. Between October 6th-9th, Žiča monastery near Kraljevo was the central place of the 800th anniversary of the recognition of the autocephaly of the Serbian Orthodox Church, alongside several other events organized in the Patriarchate of Peć and other Serbian monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija, as well as a large ceremony in Belgrade’s main congress arena, the Sava Centre.

  • 81 Million People in All Danube Countries Are Invited to ‘Get Active for the Rivers’ on 29 June As Part of the Celebrations for the 7Th Annual Danube Day
    Danube Day 2010: call for action and cross-border co-operation Vienna, 25 June – 81 million people in all Danube countries are invited to ‘Get Active for the Rivers’ on 29 June as part of the celebrations for the 7th annual Danube Day. The main goal of this year’s celebration is to engage people and to emphasize the connections between the countries and the water conservation interests of all inhabitants. Danube Day is coordinated by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR). “In order to sustain the Danube rivers today, and for the benefit of future generations, people in every sector of society must join a united effort,” says Philip Weller, Executive Secretary of the ICPDR, “After the devastating floods, which hit the region heavily some weeks ago, it is important to emphasize the connectivity between all countries and the need to for integrated water management.” Danube Day celebrations are organized by governmental and non-governmental institutions, companies and schools. A long-standing partner is also the ‘Green Danube Initiative’ composed of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Group, The Coca-Cola Company and the ICPDR. Doros Constantinou, Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Hellenic explains, “We at Coca-Cola Hellenic are totally committed in helping to protect the environment. The vital significance of the Danube cannot be over stated. Older than the Rhine, it is the main source of water for millions of people; is a vital ecological hotspot in Europe as well as an important international waterway.” The emphatic call for action this year is part of a continuing, multinational effort to protect and preserve the iconic Danube River and its tributaries, as well as the areas through which they flow.
