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 Welcome to SERBIA 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.

With its population of more than one and a half million, Bel- grade is the largest city in the region, and the fourth largest in Southeast Europe. Its climate is moderate-continental, with all the four seasons, and the sunny autumn in Belgrade is known as “miholjsko leto” (Indian summer).

One place worth a visit is Avala, with its Monument to the Unknown Hero from the First World War. Near this mausoleum, there is one of Belgrade’s striking landmarks – the Avala Television Tower – 204 m high. It provides a view of the whole city and other parts of Serbia from its rotating restaurant and viewing decks. Pančevo is a carnival city and a well-known industrial centre on the Tamiš River, not far away from its link up with the Dan- ube River, which is marked by two interesting lighthouses. A little further to the north, lies the small town of Kovačica, famous throughout the world for the naïve art of the Slovaks living there. The Deliblato Sands (Deliblatska peščara), a unique geo- morphological and ecological phenomenon in Europe, occu- pies the area between the cities of Pančevo and Vršac, a city known for its neighbouring bountiful vineyards. On the right bank of the Danube River, 14 km down from Bel- grade, an extremely valuable archaeological site Vinča is situ- ated. The Vinča locality of Belo brdo contains the remains of a Neolithic settlement with houses, sod houses and the re- mains of the culture of prehistoric man. Zasavica, a special nature reserve, located on the territory lying between the Drina and the Sava rivers, is an ideal place for the whole family to go on a trip. With a wide variety of diverse plant and animal species, many of which are pro- tected, this eco-system is a ‘living classroom’ of nature.

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 Project ARCHEST was designed to improve the presentation of the site and to, consequently, attract new visitors. 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. The results of the project have a huge appeal to ordinary audiences and support a better understanding and acceptance of Roman civilization through clear images which, at the same time, do not contradict the scientific concept but, rather, aim to support it. keyWords: 3d reConstruCtIon, VIRTUAL reaLIty, VIMInaCIuM, arCHest.

Основна претпоставка заснивала се на очекивањима да ће се установити непосредна повезаност гимнастичког и соколског система вежбања са спортом који се рађао. У истраживању је примењен историјски метод. Резултати у раду указују на значајну улогу грађанских гимнастичких друштава – соколских („Соко“) и витешких („Душан Силни“) у појави, полуларизацији и развоју модерног спорта крајем 19. и почетком 20. века у Србији. Сва ова друштва, без обзира на име, у намери да одрже своје и привуку ново чланство, предвиђала су својим уредбама и статутима, поред гимнастике која је била окосница програма телесног вежбања, прихватање и увођење других спортских активности и оснивање клубова. Новооснована „гимнастичка“ – „спортска одељења“ у борењу, стрељаштву, клизању, јахању, пливању, веслању, велосипеду, лоптању, развијала су се и прерастала у спортске клубове. Њиховим издвајањем из матичних гимнастичких друштава омогућен је бржи развој појединачних спортских грана, које се сматрају првим модерним спортовима у Србији.

  • 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.

WORD FROM THE EDITOR “Tradition is not preserving the ashes, tradition is keeping the flame.” Read somewhere, sometime, and kept in the memory… Whenever when I go with my daughters to the Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan, I tell them legends about the City (because there are still no legends about the park, thanks God). On one occasion, one of them, while explaining me where she had forgotten her gloves which we went there looking for, suddenly said: “… it’s there, by that Manor…”?! I was amazed the fact that with her inward eye she saw the City that was no longer there.

  • Activities in Belgrade
    Activities in Belgrade Sights to see 1. Belgrade Fortress (Kalemegdan Park) The number one must-see location in the city. Some 115 battles have been fought over impressive Kalemegdan. Over the centuries, the citadel has been destroyed more than 40 times. The building of the fortification began in Celtic times, which the Romans extended onto the flood plains during their settlement of 'Singidunum', Belgrade's Roman name. Much of what stands today is the product of 18th-century Austro-Hungarian and TurKish reconstructions. The fort's bloody history, discernible despite today's plethora of jolly cafes and funfairs, only maKes Kalemegdan all the more fascinating. Entering from Knez Mihailova, go through the 18th- century Karadjordje Gate to reach the Upper Town (Gornji grad) of the fortress. From the Stambol Gate (1750), you will reach the Military Museum and the 27.5 metre high ClocK Tower. Further along, you will see a small bricK octagon; this is the 1784 Ali Pasha's Turbeh (tomb), one of Belgrade's few well- preserved Islamic monuments. The Roman Well is nearby, a mysterious 60m deep hole (more a cistern than a well) of dubious origin and shrouded in horrifying legends; apparently the well even managed to creep out a visiting Alfred HitchcocK! Looming beside it is the Victor Monument, a symbol of Belgrade erected in 1928 to commemorate Serbia’s victories over the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires during the BalKan Wars and WWI. This 14 metre high monument is the city’s most recognisable landmarK and famous Belgrade attraction. The plateau around the monument is always crowded with tourists and Belgrade natives, partly because of the breath-taKing view over the confluence of the two rivers that flow through Belgrade, and the beauty of this landmarK as part of the historic Belgrade Fortress.
