No knocking, please.

In the Sremac village of Klenak, among fertile fields and thatched houses, there is a household that managed to combine tradition and modern agriculture. The Rajčević family from this village has been successfully growing watermelons for years, and today they are the largest supplier of watermelons for Lidl in Serbia. Their story is a story of dedication, knowledge, homely approach and vision

How to conserve resources to feed a growing population

In order to feed one person annually, an average of 2022 square meters is needed, which is a little more than three tennis courts. It is estimated that by 2050, each of us will have 1700 square meters "available". (1) Namely, the global population has exceeded 8 billion people, and it is expected that it will reach around 10 billion by the middle of this century. That is why one of the biggest challenges facing humanity is to conserve resources to feed the growing population

Lidl Serbia - a good example of responsible business

Sanctified nutrition - food for a better tomorrow

It sounds like a big challenge - to feed yourself healthily and at the same time take care of the planet. But it is in the everyday choices we make - in the store, in the kitchen, even while reading the declaration - that there is a huge potential for change.

World Championship in basketball

Order, work and iron discipline

A silver medal was won at the World Basketball Championship, representative basketball is back in fashion. The team play and dedication of our national team members turned out to be contagious. Would this team have the same chemistry if all basketball players responded to Svetislav Pešić's call? However, a direct placement at the Olympic Games, which will be held in Paris next year, may be a more important thing for our basketball than winning a medal. The best players from Serbia play in the NBA and Euroleague and are usually prevented from participating in qualifying tournaments

The endless fall of angels and poets

Although he often managed to surprise the public with his statements and moves, when the line is drawn, Nebojša Bakarec can still be called a typical representative of Serbian politicians in the last twenty years. Despite the often displayed eccentricity, an analysis of his statements in those twenty years shows that, as with most domestic politicians, they are characterized by exceptional inconsistency, depending on what the situation dictates.

The Middle East is close to us

"For me, this here, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo, was the hardest because everything was connected with our people. I felt better when I went over. It doesn't mean that I didn't feel sorry for the people who struggled, suffered, were injured there , died, but somehow, here it hurt the most, I guess because it's mine. But when I pick up the camera and start taking pictures, I don't have time for big emotions, they come later, when everything is over, and that is the hardest"

The Prime Minister's invisible brother

The renewed story about the possible conflict of interest of the Prime Minister of Serbia only helped her to become even stronger in the eyes of Aleksandar Vučić and easily win another mandate. Her brother remained an ordinary citizen of Belgrade who did well in business when her sister was in politics

The deceptive summer of 1990 – August 17, the anniversary of the barricades around Knin

How the "Mupovci" crossed Kravlja Draga

"Around 17,18:15 p.m., people started to gather in front of the station. Milan Babić arrived with them, he shouted at me: 'What are you waiting for, sound the alarm siren, the Mupovics entered Oton (a village 20-XNUMX kilometers northwest of Knin), shoot While he is shouting, I am trying to reach Martić. No one answers the phone. Babić shouts, and I press the button siren, and then Knin was alerted, and the news about the declaration of war came on the radio. Later I realized that instead of the button for general danger, I pressed the wrong button - for the end of the danger. But no one noticed it in that insane asylum " a former militiaman

Remembering the Holocaust

Auschwitz is not a metaphor

The United Nations declared January 27 as the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of National Socialism. On that day in 1945, Soviet army units liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp. The Council of Europe recommended that, on that occasion, a lesson on the subject of the Holocaust be held in all schools. In Serbia, Saint Sava is celebrated on that day, it is not convenient to remind about the concentration camps at the same time, but another day could be set for that. I use this opportunity to draw attention to the fact that Serbia does not have its own national exhibition in Auschwitz, although the first floor of block 17, which should be shared with other countries that emerged from Yugoslavia, was made available to it a long time ago.

Hoofs and flying cars

Who was lucky enough to have already seen a flying pig at Pink Floyd's concerts. And the rest of us? After Knin, Karlovac and Karlobag, the singing fountain in color, the subway, the "Mubadala" chip factory, the Serbian "Mercedes", the gondola and the 250.000-meter mast, we will also see flying cars. Let's make them, ride them and have fun. Is there anything better than carefree hopping from place to place in a personal flying vehicle

Interview - Zdenko Tomanović, lawyer

A journalist has the right to doubt the state

"Political elites called the public public opinion, and then they identified that public opinion with media opinion. By further reduction, that media opinion came to the position of a few newspapers or media that are under their control, and then an illusion was actually created that the position of the public what some of their media outlets write, and that is equated with the attitude of our political elite"

Portrait of a contemporary - Ana Brnabić, Prime Minister

As he tells her

The same intolerance towards the critical attitude, towards the other and the different, which is more than obvious in Vučić's case, is more and more difficult to hide in Brnabić and emerges more and more often. In the same way, the two of them declare themselves about the workers on strike, about the media, about the opposition, about pensions, about poverty, about every statement that they consider negative, only that the Prime Minister controls herself as much as possible.

My beautiful life in hell

I used to be able to say that I was a Yugoslav, now I could say that I am nostalgic. Ideologically I was a Yugoslav during Tito's time, very consciously and very deliberately, and now I would not be able to define myself. I don't belong to anyone, although I have two passports, Serbian and Austrian, and I could get an Israeli and a Hungarian one. I'm at home here, so I'm definitely from Belgrade, but otherwise I'm stateless

Thirty years since the explosion in "Grmeč": Dull gunpowder

Arsen wrote, sang and lived, and finally died, to all of us who could understand what it means when "newspapers are still lying on the table, with some July dates", and to all who, scattered around the world, took Arsen there as well, as proof that they are not rootless gourds but people worthy of a better fate

Chronicle of the breakdown of our "Ferguson"

A look in the rearview mirror of an old tractor shows how the tractor industry was created in one system and disappeared in another, how it traced the path of our industrialization and transformation of agriculture, and then shared the fate of not only deindustrialization but also deagrarianization of our country.

On the Balkan route

The candidacy of the Republic of Macedonia is definitely the initiator of positive changes. Our country has taken further steps to bring the national legislation closer to the legal acquis of the European Union, which establishes the minimum standards for the conditions for the admission of asylum seekers and the procedures for issuing and canceling refugee status.
