The story Niš (pronounced: ‘neesh’) is an important crossroad between central Europe and the goes that during the Battle of Čegar, the Serbian trenches were middle East, and assumes the central position in the Balkan peninsula. It is located in Niš being overrun by attacking Ottomans. So the commander Stevan Valley, in the South of the country and surrounded by a number of mountains, two rivers, Sinđelić personally detonated the powder magazine, obliterating two beautiful gorges, and numerous sites of historical importance from various periods. his position on Čegar Hill to avoid being taken prisoner by Vizier Hurshid Pasha. Some 952 Serbian skulls were collected from the battlefield and became the material for this tower in 1809 to deter Niš Fortress another uprising. After the Ottoman withdrawal in 1878, most Right on the Nišava River is the daunting Ottoman fort that of these were removed and buried. A 4.5-metre remnant of the was completed in 1723. This encloses an ancient citadel tower is housed in a chapel and contains 54 skulls. and has been settled since a Roman camp was founded here more than 2,000 years ago. The new fortress was a massive undertaking: It covers 22 hectares and comprises more than two kilometres of walls. Niš makes an excellent base from which to explore Southern Serbia. The road east to Pirot follows the Roman Via Militaris that once linked Belgrade with Serdica (Sofia) and Constantinople (Istanbul). Although still a busy road often clogged with trucks, it passes through picturesque landscapes. A motorway linking Niš and Sofia has recently been finished and it has never been faster to travel to the capital of Bulgaria. From Pirot a delightful road winds through craggy gorges to the isolated Poganovo Monastery in the Stara planina Mountains. Visitor information centres at Niš and Pirot have hiking maps and links to agencies King Milan Square running tours and activities in the mountains. Caričin Grad, off the A1/E75 from Niš, can be visited en route Also just across the water from the fortress, this square came about in to Vranje.

Shops and khans (merchant inns) were set up here as the city grew along the riverbank. A little later there was a market on this square, where the local landowners would sell Poganovo Monastery Sofia, Bulgaria Devil’s Town Caričin Grad the leftover goods they had accumulated from their tenants as tax. When Niš was liberated the old Turkish-style townscape was swept aside and this square was given a fresh Central European air. Despite the 20th-century tower blocks on the west side there’s still a pleasing row of 19th-century houses on the square’s eastern edge, with cafe terraces in front. 6 7 Important Information What to expect out of Important phone numbers your SEP adventure 192 Police 193 Fire department 194 Ambulance 987 AMSJ (Road emergency) Outdoor Activities 95 Time Alongside its wealth of sights, Serbia offers a 9811 Waking-up service wide range of activity holidays.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

The cinema, that “dream factory” takes over and employs countless mythical motifs – the fight between hero and monster, initiatory combats and ordeals, paradigmatic figures and images (the maiden, the hero, the paradisiacal landscape, hell and do on). Even reading includes a mythological function, only because it replaces the recitation of myths in archaic societies and the oral literature that still lives in the rural communities of Europe, but particularly because, through reading, the modern man succeeds in obtaining an ‘escape from time’ comparable to the ‘emergence from time’ effected by myths.

Baltic1, Janjic Jelena1, Milka Popovic2, Tatjana Baltic3, Marija Boskovic1, Marija Starcevic4, Danijela Sarcevic3* A b s t r a c t: The use of meat in traditional Serbian cuisine can be divided into three periods. The fi rst period is the time from the arrival of Slavs in the Balkans, through the Middle Ages to the early 19th century. The second period, the 19th and the fi rst half of the 20th centuries, can be marked as special due to signifi cant changes that impacted traditional Serbian cuisine, compared to the fi rst period. It was a period during which the Europeanization of Serbia took place in all spheres of life, including cuisine. After World War II, Serbia and many surrounding countries eperienced a great surge in industrialization in all economic fi elds, including that of food production. The last sixty years has seen the globalization of our food supply, with food being transported globally from one part of the world to another, and which resulted in neglected traditional, local cuisines. Therefore, many countries, including Serbia, recognize a need for preserving traditional cuisine. This recognition has initiated several mechanisms for maintaining Europe’s gastronomic herit- age. Preservation of traditional cuisine in Serbia has special signifi cance for tourism development. Keywords: tradition, nutrition, history, heritage. Introduction and preparation is not complex.

  • SOUTH SERBIA 5 Days – by Bus Or by Car
    SOUTH SERBIA 5 days – by bus or by car TRAVEL PROGRAM: 1.dan BELGRADE. Landing at the airport Nikola Tesla. Transfer to the hotel. Dinner. Overnight stay. 2.dan BELGRADE. Breakfast. Departure of sightseeing city tour by bus and on foot. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is one of the oldest cities in Europe which has been a crucial junction since times before and a crossroad between East and West Europe. Belgrade lays on two international rivers, on the delta of Sava and Danube and the river waters surround it from three sides. Its location rightfully earned it a nickname “the gate to Balkans” and “the door of Central Europe”. The oldest archeological findings from this area date to the fifth millennia before Christ. In the historical center of Belgrade, in 1938, during the construction of Albanija Palace and where it still stands today, the remains of a Neanderthal, who died fighting a mammoth, were found. His remains were found in the vicinity, which testifies to an existence of a habitat on the territory of today’s Belgrade even in the prehistoric times. On the river bank of Danube a prehistoric settlement Vinca can be found, with the remains of artifacts of a prehistoric man. A Celtic tribe has founded Singidunum in 3 rd century BC and the city is even mentioned in some ancient sources. Later on, this territory was occupied by Romans and with the division of the empire in year 395 it becomes a part of Byzantine Empire. In the 6 th century the Slavs have started crossing the river more often and then permanently stayed in this area, and so, on the rocky highland over the delta of river Sava their settlement has been created – Beli Grad – White City.

  • Travel Gives You Wings... for GROUPS
    Travel gives you wings... FOR GROUPS : “DISCOVER THE CULTURES OF THE BALKANS “IN 12 DAYS INTRODUCTION During this tour you will discover a very special place in Europe marked by the dominant trade route in the Mediterranean until the 17th century, connecting Europe with Asia Minor. The trade route was already in use by the Celts, then appeared the Greeks, the Romans and finally the Slavs in the 7th century AD. This parade of civilizations happened before the eyes of the local population, the Illyrians, a people of shepherds, ancestors of today’s Albanians. This part of Europe was first dominated by Byzantium, then two great powers will fight for supremacy: Republics of Venice and Dubrovnik. Division of the Roman Empire was the event that marked the cultures. The border between the Eastern and Western Roman Empire goes through the Balkans. This separation will finally cause the schism in the Middle Age between the Catholic and Orthodox Church. The Ottoman Empire will enhance this cultural melting pot and create a colourful mosaic of local identities. The Balkans thus saw the appearance of various religious movements such as the Church of Bosnia called “Bogumil Church” or the Greek Catholic Church. The Balkans are determined by a surprising climate of tolerance and very original political systems. This tour’s goal is to emphasize this usually hidden side of South East Europe. The 20th century was marked by the nation-state creation games. Differences were weaponized in order to justify political struggles which inevitably led to great confusion. This was fertile ground for Tito's socialism seen as a gluing element which would restore the bygone harmony.

In many popular le­ gends and folk tales he is the creator of miraculous springs, a master of the for­ ces of nature with all features of a God who blesses and punishes. Often cruel in punishing and horrendous in his rage, St. Sava, has the features of a primi­ tive pagan god and, though a Christian saint, in the eyes of popular culture he embodied a pre-Christian pagan divinity or the ancient Serbian god of the un- derworkR In the age of nationalism however, the Serbian cult of St.

  • Paradigms of Rural Tourism in Serbia in the Function of Village Revitalisation
    HUMAN GEOGRAPHIES – Journal of Studies and Research in Human Geography (2011) 5.2, 93‐102 www.humangeographies.org.ro PARADIGMS OF RURAL TOURISM IN SERBIA IN THE FUNCTION OF VILLAGE REVITALISATION Jovo Medojevic*, Sasa Milosavljevic, Milan Punisic Faculty of Sciences‐Department of Geography, University of Pristina ‐ temporarily settled in Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia Abstract: Rural regions in Serbia differ considerably in social, economic and demographic characteristics. Basic problems and trends almost all the rural regions share are migrations, poor diversification of economic activities, extensive agriculture, high level of unemployment, lack of employment possibilities, poor and underdeveloped infrastructure, low GDP per capita in comparison to the urban regions and unpolluted environment faced with potential threats . The subject of this paper is to point to the potentials of the rural tourism in Serbia with the aim of village revitalization, as well as its prevention from dying out. Also, the aim of the paper is to stress the fact that the rural tourism is a sustainable model of development and preservation of Serbian village and Serbian peasant from more aspects: economic, tourist, sociological, the spatial planning and ecological ones. Finally, the aim of the paper is to emphasize that it is possible to save village identity by its transformation into ethno village adopting the idea of European ethno villages. Rural tourism in Serbia must become `main` industry` and a generator of sleeping national economy. The main benefits belong to the rural households. Tourist agencies must be engaged in enabling a dialogue between their employees and local representatives. Clients must not only be observers but also critics in the spirit of trust and transparency.
