Er Srbija » Air Serbia | 5 Reč dobrodošlice Welcomemessage Dragi putnici, VAZDUHOPLOVNA INDUSTRIJA JEDAN JEODGLAV NIH POTPORNIH STUBOVA EKONOMSKOG I SOCI JALNOGRAZVOJA. Povezivanje i umrežavanje ljudi, kultura, kompanija i ekonomija bilo bi nezamislivo bez jata čeličnih ptica koje svakodnevno krstare nebom. Upravo zbog toga naša obaveza je da tu ulogu sprovodimo odgovorno i u skladu sa ciljevima održivog razvoja, na način koji će uticaje na životnu sredinu svesti na najmanju moguću meru. Mi u Er Srbiji tu obavezu shvatamo veoma ozbiljno. U skladu sa izrekom koja kaže da „planetu nismo nasledili od predaka, nego pozajmili od potomaka“, trudimo se da na najbolji mogući način vodimo računa o resursima koji su nam povereni na čuvanje, a nisu neograničeni. Održivo poslovanje i briga o zaštiti životne sredine nama ne predstavljaju opterećenje, već privilegiju da aktivno učestvujemo u kreiranju boljeg okruženja za generacije koje dolaze. Zato smo već sada usvojili neke mere iz ove oblasti koje će tek za nekoliko godina postati obavezne. Verujemo da je to put kojim svi treba da idu jer nas na polju ekološke osvešćenosti svaki individualni korak vodi napred kao društvo u celini. Čak ni u izazovnim okolnostima koje trenutno potresaju avio-industriju na globalnom nivou ne smemo izgubiti iz vida širu sliku i zapostaviti brigu o očuvanju eko-sistema planete i sprečavanju klimatskih promena. Na narednim stranicama, kao i u okviru posebnog segmenta na našem sajtu, možete saznati više o aktivnostima i inicijativama koje sprovodimo s tim ciljem. Novembar je mesec koji na severnoj hemisferi donosi hladnije vreme, samim tim i pojačano grejanje, zbog čega se dodatno troše resursi i povećava nivo zagađenja u celom svetu. Zato smo u ovom broju poseban akcenat stavili na ekologiju i zaštitu životne sredine, pa se možete informisati o značaju drveća i čitati o tome kako je pokret povratka prirodi postao globalni internet fenomen. Kao i u svakom prethodnom izdanju, pišemo o prirodnim bogatstvima na destinacijama do kojih letimo. Suvišno bi bilo isticati koliko je briga o očuvanju okoline važna kako bismo sačuvali njihovu izvornu lepotu i autentičnost. I mali podsetnik za kraj – iako je pisanje o ovim temama značajno kako bi se podizala svest, briga o našoj planeti ne sme ostati samo slovo na papiru. Zato vas pozivamo da zajedno brinemo o svetu u kojem živimo, uživamo u njemu i sačuvamo ga za one koji dolaze posle nas. Uživajte u letu i srećan put. Iskreno vaša, Er Srbija Dear passengers, THE AIR TRANSPORT INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE MAIN PILLARS OF SUPPORT FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. The connecting and networking of people, cultures, companies and economies would be impossible without a flock of steel birds cruising the skies every day. As a result of this, it is our obligation to fulfil that role responsibly and in accordance with the goals of sustainable development, in a manner that will minimise our impact on the environment. At Air Serbiawe take this obligation very seriously. In accordance with the proverb “we didn’t inherit the planet from our ancestors, but borrowed it from our descendants”, we strive tomanage resources that arenot limitless and thatwereentrusted tous in thebest possibleway.Wedon’t see sustainable operations and caring for the environment as a burden, rather as a privilege that enables us to participate actively in the creation of a better environment for thegenerations tocome. That’s whywe’vealreadyadoptedcertainmeasures in this field thatwill only becomemandatory a few years from now. We believe this is a path that everyone needs to take, because each individual step in the fieldof environmental awareness advances us as a society. Even under the challenging circumstances that are shaking the air transport industry to its core at the global level, we must not lose sight of the bigger picture or neglect to care for theprotectionof theplanet’s ecosystem and act to prevent climate change. You can discover more about the activities and initiatives we’re conducting for that purpose on the following pages, but alsowithin a special segment of our website. November is a month that brings colder weather to the northern hemisphere, and consequently stronger heating, which is why additional resources are used and the level of pollution increases worldwide. That’s why this issue of Elevate has a special focus on ecology and environmental protection, so you can learn about the importance of trees or read about how the ‘back to nature’ movement has become a global internet phenomenon. As in every issue, we write about the natural resources at the destinations we serve. How important environmental protection is for preserving their natural beauty and authenticity goes without saying. Finally, a small reminder, even though writing about these topics is important for raising awareness, caring for our planet mustn’t merely be something to write about. That’s why we invite you to take action to care for the world we live in together, to enjoy it and preserve it for those who will come after us. Enjoy your flight and have a good journey. Sincerely yours, Air Serbia Novembar 2020. November 2020 Održivo poslovanje i briga o zaštiti životne sredine nama ne predstavljaju opterećenje, već privilegiju We don’t see sustainable operations and caring for the environment as a burden, rather as a privilege

12 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia NASLEĐE HER I TAGE 1923. Legendarni pančevački aerodrom Dok se pripremao prvi međunarodni aerodrom pod bežanijskim brdom, u blizini Pančeva 1923. počelo je da radi letilište, koje je zapravo bilo pašnjak uz put ka selu Jabuka. Vazduhoplovno društvo Franko–Rumen dobilo je od Senata Pančeva dozvolu da se livada veličine 500 x 500 metara pretvori u privremenu „aeroplansku stanicu“. Međutim, zahtevali su da se teren i dalje koristi za ispašu stoke osim „za ono kratko vreme dok se aeroplan spušta ili diže“! Pa ipak, ovce nisu sprečile ovaj aerodrom da se upiše u istoriju vazduhoplovstva. Pančevački aerodrom ostao je upamćen pošto je s njega poleteo prvi avion na redovnoj noćnoj liniji. Taj istorijski let dogodio se u noći između 8. i 9. septembra 1923. godine na liniji Pariz–Beč–Budimpešta–Pančevo–Bukurešt– Carigrad. U to vreme letelo se samo danju. Zato su duž staza na aerodromima u Pančevu i Bukureštu postavljena svetla i dva jaka reflektora koji su osvetljavali pistu. To su bili prvi zemaljski navigacijski uređaji za prve noćne letove vazdušnog saobraćaja u svetu, ali i prva veza Kraljevine SHS sa ostatkom planete. LEGENDARY PANČEVOAIRPORT While preparations were underway to form the first international airport under Bežanija hill, the airfield near Pančevo began operating in 1923. It was actually a grazingmeadowbeside the road to the village of Jabuka. The Franko-Rumen Aeronautical Society received a permit from the Pančevo Senate to convert thismeadow, measuring 500mx 500m, into a temporary “aeroplane station”. However, they insisted that the land still be used for grazing livestock, apart from “during the brief periods when an aeroplane is landing or taking off!” Still, the sheep did not prevent this airport from inscribing itself into the history of aviation. The Pančevo airport remains remembered as the location from which the first plane departed on a regular night-flight line. That historic flight took place on the night between 8th and 9th September 1923 on the route Paris-Vienna-Budapest-PančevoBucharest-Constantinople . The flights were previously only conducted during daylight. That’s why runways at the airports in Pančevo and Bucharest were fixedwith lights and two strong spotlights that illuminated the runway. Those were the first terrestrial navigation devices for the first night flying air traffic in the world, but also the first link of the Kingdomof Serbs, Croats and Slovenes with the rest of the planet.

Njegova istorija je očigledna u svakoj zgradi starog grada. Međutim, Ohridsko jezero je ono što grad čini jedinstvenim draguljem. Spada među najstarija i najdublja evropska jezera, zbog čega ima prestižni status kulturne i prirodne baštine pod zaštitom Uneska. Fascinantan je arhitektonski raspored Ohrida, prepun manastira, tvrđava i zamkova. Neka zdanja datiraju iz 200. godine pre nove ere, uključujući i drevno gradsko pozorište, u kojem su nekada održavane borbe gladijatora. Nema sumnje da je Ohrid turistička riznica koja samo čeka da bude otkrivena. Ohrid - Jerusalem of the Balkans Ohrid earned the nickname of the Jerusalem of the Balkans as one of the oldest cities in Europe, which was once considered an epicentre of religion and Slavic culture. Its history is evident in every building of the old town. However, it is Lake Ohrid that makes this city a unique gem. It is ranked among Europe's oldest and deepest lakes, which is why it has the prestigious status of a site of cultural and natural heritage under the protection of UNESCO. The architectural layout of Ohrid is fascinating, filled as it is with monasteries, fortresses and castles. Some buildings date back as far as 200 BC, including the ancient city amphitheatre, which once hosted gladiator contests. There's no doubt that Ohrid's a tourist treasure trove that's just waiting to be discovered. iStock / EKH-Pictures iStock / zm_photo

Pravi nastanak je drugačiji, ali ništa manje bajkovit. Naime, 1858. godine dogodilo se jako olujno nevreme, pa je Drim sa albanskih planina na ušće Bojane doneo ogromnu količinu peska i mulja. To je izazvalo pomeranje korita reke, a od bare je nastalo čuveno Skadarsko jezero. Stvoreno je carstvo prirode koje su ispunile jedinstvene biljne i životinjske vrste. Jezero je stanište čak 264 vrsta ptica. Birds of Lake Skadar According to legend, Lake Skadar was created when a young woman was so happy about her husband's return from war that she forgot to turn off the tap of a drinking fountain. The lake's real origins are different, but no less fairy-tale like. Specifically, a great storm hit the area in 1858, causing the River Drim to carry a huge amount of sand and silt from the Albanian mountains and dump the load at the confluence with the River Bojana. This caused the riverbed to shift, and an existing pond was transformed into the famous Lake Skadar. Thus was created a kingdom of nature that was filled with unique species of plants and animals. As many as 264 species of birds have made their habitats around the lake. profimedia /Yulia Chupina Alamy iStock / Kateryna Kolesnyk iStock / rusm

Apart from beautiful turquoise and crystal clear mountain lakes, this area also boasts the largest waterfall in Croatia, the Great Waterfall, Veliki Slap (78m), while the forests around the lakes are inhabited by brown bears, lynxes and wolves. Plitvice - magija Crne kraljice Plitvička jezera su jedan od najlepših spomenika prirode na čitavom Balkanu, od 1979. se nalaze i na listi Uneskove baštine. Jezera se vodom hrane od lokalnih planinskih vodotoka koji se ulivaju u najviše Prošćansko jezero i odatle kreće njen put kroz 12 gornjih i četiri donja jezera preko vodopada, brzaka i slapova, sve dok iz najnižeg jezera ne nastavi svoj put kroz reku Koranu. Osim prelepih tirkiznih i bistrih planinskih jezera, ovde se nalazi najveći vodopad u Hrvatskoj – Veliki slap (78 metara), a šume oko jezera nastanjuju mrki medved, ris i vuk. profimedia / Sorin Colac Alamy iStock / Massimo-S8

Serbia creates » Srbija stvara | 21 Liberate yourself at amuseum … Just as spending 30minutes in a deep forest protects the body fromaccumulated stress for weeks afterwards, so exposure to art serves to prevent the development of depression and anxiety, according to research conducted recently. Spending just 30minutes a day reading a good book, listening to high-qualitymusic, walking through amuseum, drawing, painting or sculpting reduces the possibility of the aforementioned afflictions and disorders of themodern age appearing. This is especially so during this time of pandemics and isolation. DURING A TIME WHEN WE CANNOT TRAVEL FREELY, when there are none of the social gatherings to which we are accustomed, the best option is to turn inwards to our own micro-world, and to explore it well. Within that world it is possible to travel to all longitudes and latitudes; in all directions and at any time of the day, and it is easiest to start that journey at a museum… With safe distancing, a controlled number of people, wearing a protective mask featuring a print of your favourite artwork, your journey through time, spheres and spaces can begin. Let’s liberate ourselves from the fear of uncertainty; from feelings of angst and unease that torment us increasingly during times of crisis. Let’s liberate the mind for new ideas, for new experiences, for new depths. And the journey begins at the museum. Freedom also resides in the museum. … baš kao što 30 minuta provedenih u dubokoj šumi nedeljama kasnije štiti organizam od nakupljenog stresa, tako i izlaganje umetnosti deluje kao prevencija depresije i anksioznosti, pokazuju novija istraživanja. Svega 30 minuta dnevno – čitanje dobre knjige, slušanja kvalitetne muzike, šetnja muzejom, crtanje, slikanje, vajanje – smanjuju mogućnost pojave pomenutih bolesti i poremećaja modernog doba. Posebno u vreme pandemije i izolacije. U VREMENU KADA NE MOŽEMO SLOBODNO DA PUTUJEMO, kada nema društvenih okupljanja na koja smo navikli, najbolje je okrenuti se sopstvenom mikrosvetu i dobro ga istražiti. U tom svetu su moguća putovanja po svim geografskim dužinama i širinama. U svim pravcima i u svako doba dana, a najlakše se počinje u muzeju… Bezbedna distanca, kontrolisan broj ljudi, zaštitna maska sa printom omiljenog umetničkog dela i putovanje kroz vreme, sfere i prostore može da počne. Oslobodimo se straha od neizvesnosti, anksioznosti i skučenosti koji nas sve češće tište u vreme krize. Oslobodimo um za nove ideje. Za nova iskustva. Za nove dubine. Putovanje počinje u muzeju. U muzeju je i sloboda. Oslobodi se u muzeju
22 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia Razglednica/Postcard BRISEL BRUSSELS Hotel Betoven I belgijska prestonica rešila je obeleži 250 godina od rođenja Ludviga van Betovena. Tako je do januara naredne godine u Briselu u centru za likovnu umetnost BOZAR otvorena izložba Hotel Betoven o njegovoj muzici i idejama. Izložba pokreće pitanje da li umetnost može da promeni način na koji slušamo, ako već može da promeni način na koji vidimo svet. Predstavlja muziku koja putuje kroz različita doba i gledišta, pa odložite kofer i posetite je ako se već zateknete u Briselu. HOTEL BEETHOVEN The Belgian capital is the latest city to opt to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, with an exhibition about his music and ideas, entitled “Hotel Beethoven”, open at the city’s BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts until January 2021. The exhibition poses the question of whether art can change the way we listen to the world, given that it can already change the way we see it. The exhibition represents music that journeys through time, covering different ages and perspectives, so put aside your suitcase and pay it a visit if you happen to find yourself in Brussels. NJUJORK NEWYORK Proslavite Dan zahvalnosti u Njujorku Njujork u novembru znači da je vreme za proslavu Dana zahvalnosti i Crnog petka. Učestvujte u pravoj američkoj tradiciji sa ćuretinom i tortomod sira. Idite na paradu koja se takođe prenosi uživo na televiziji (kanal NBC), a odmah toga uživajte u još jednoj tradiciji Dana Zahvalnosti - Nacionalnoj izložbi pasa. Posle večere, običaj je gledanje filmova (kod kuće ili u bioskopu). Budući da je većina pozorišta i muzeja zatvorena na Dan zahvalnosti, možete očekivati da veče budemirnije i sporije nego obično.

Take part in the real American tradition of Thanksgiving with turkey and cheesecake. Attend theMacy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! It’s also live on TV (NBC). The parade is immediately followed by another Thanksgiving institution: the National Dog Show. Watchingmovies (either at home or in the cinema) is a popular post-Thanksgiving dinner tradition. Given that themajority of Broadway shows andmuseums are closed on Thanksgiving Day, you can expect the evening to be quieter andmore leisurely than usual. And you can start your Black Friday shopping as early as Thanksgiving evening. AMSTERDAM AMSTERDAM Parada za decu i odrasle Svakog novembra Sinterklas, holandska verzija Svetog Nikole, putuje iz Španije do Holandije noseći poklone za decu. Dan nakon dolaska tradicionalno učestvuje na paradi kroz Amsterdam, koja se ove godine održava 15. novembra. Sinterklas vole i deca i odrasli, a dokaz za to je da ovaj događaj svake godine isprati više od 200.000 posetilaca. On ulazi u grad ploveći rekom Amstel dok mu ljudi mašu pokraj kanala, a vodena parada završava se u Pomorskommuzeju, gde Sinterklasa dočekuje gradonačelnik Amsterdama. PARADE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS Sinterklaas, the Dutch version of Saint Nicholas, travels from Spain to the Netherlands every November, bringing gifts for children. A day after his arrival, he traditionally participates in a parade through Amsterdam, which is this year being held on 15th November. Sinterklaas is loved by both children and adults alike, proof of which can be found in the fact that this event is attended annually by more than 200,000 visitors. He enters the city by sailing along the Amstel, with people waving to him along the length of the canal, until this waterborne parade ends at the Maritime Museum, where Sinterklaas is welcomed by the mayor of Amsterdam. iStock / Vladislav Zoloto iStock / borchee iStock / Deejpilot
Air Serbia » Er Srbija | 23 ATINA ATHENS Za ljubitelje fotografije Atinski foto festival je najvažniji događaj posvećen fotografiji u jugoistočnoj Evropi još od 1987. i svake godine fokusira se na određenu temu. U skladu sa okolnostima, ove godine u centru pažnje je pandemija, ali od preko sto dela iz celog sveta ima i onih iz drugih sfera, koji prikazuju raznolike umetničke i socijalne perspektive. Festival traje do 15. novembra u muzeju Benaki, a prate ga i radionice na kojima fotografi razmenjuju ideje, iskustva i inicijative. FOR LOVERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Athens Photo Festival has been Southeast Europe’s most important event dedicated to photography since 1987, focusing on a specific topic each year. In accordance with the circumstances, the focus this year is on the pandemic, but the hundred-plus works from all over the world that are on display include those from other spheres, which show various artistic and social perspectives. The festival runs until 15th November at the Benaki Museum and has accompanying workshops at which photographers can exchange ideas, experiences and initiatives. ŠTUTGART STUTTGART Praznici su sve bliže Počev od 25. novembra, narednih 29 dana najveće gradske ulice Štutgarta mirisaće na kuvano vino i medenjake s cimetom. Za to je kriv jedan od najvećih i najstarijih božićnih vašara u Evropi, koji se u ovom gradu održava svake godine, a u spisima se prvi put zvanično pominje još 1692. Na više trgova u gradu biće postavljeni štandovi sa hranom, božićnim poklonima, rukotvorinama, a nezaobilazni deo vašara predstavlja i market antikviteta na Kalrsplacu. THE HOLIDAYS ARE FAST APPROACHING From 25th November, and for the next 29 days, the largest street in the city of Stuttgart will be filled with the aroma of mulled wine and gingerbread with cinnamon. The “blame” for this belongs to one of Europe’s largest and oldest Christmas fairs, which is held in this city every year and was first officially mentioned in records dating back to 1692. Several city squares will boast stalls offering food, Christmas gifts and handicraft items, while an unavoidable part of the fair is represented by the antiques market on Kalrsplatz. KOPENHAGEN COPENHAGEN Restoran koji prima samo jednog gosta Restoran 1 : 1 u danskoj prestonici prima samo jednog gosta i najmanji je na svetu. Vlasnik restorana je zapravo najveći lanac supermarketa u zemlji, koji je došao na ovu ideju zbog toga što je u Danskoj gotovo trećina domaćinstava jednočlana. Cilj je da se gost fokusira na svoj obrok, da ga oseti i doživi na pravi način, ali i da ovaj lanac marketa promoviše svoja nova gotova jela. Gosti koji su posetili restoran oduševljeni su i kažu da je čudno, ali svakako zabavno i drugačije iskustvo uživanja u hrani. RESTAURANT THAT ACCEPTS ONLY ONE GUEST The Danish capital’s Restaurant 1:1 accepts only a single guest at a time and is the world’s smallest eatery. The restaurant is actually owned by the largest supermarket chain in the country, which came up with this idea because almost a third of households in Denmark have only a single member. The goal is to enable the guest to focus on their meal, to feel and experience it in the right way, but also for this supermarket chain to promote its new ready meals. Guests who’ve visited the restaurant are thrilled with the experience, describing it as strange, but certainly a fun and different way of enjoying food.

Arriving on our screens this November is Bones, while preparations are also underway for a film about one of this region’s most beloved musicians, poet of sorrow and bohemian Toma Zdravković… Interview » Intervju | 25 Ovog novembra stižu nam Kosti , nastavak Mesa, ali sprema se i film o jednom od najvoljenijih muzičara sa ovih prostora, pesniku tuge, boemu Tomi Zdravkoviću… Pričam priče o čuvanju duše Naša tela, kao i naši životi, blesak su u večnosti, sekund, ništa, ali duša je večna. Mi na neki način pričamo o pažnji s kojom treba brinuti o svojoj duši; ostaviti zemlji ono što je njeno, a sa sobom poneti samo ono što je večno U glumcu, scenaristi, reditelju i muzičaru Nikoli PejakovićuKolji (54) sjedinjeni su puls, sevdah i šmekumetnika rođenogu Banjaluci, a odraslog na brdovitom Balkanu. On ima poznato ime i prezime, a retko ko ga zaista poznaje. Ali publika uvek traži još – seriju, nov lm, svirku... Posle fenomenalnog uspeha Mesa u novembru nas očekuje premijera Kostiju. Iako je to drugi deo trilogije, priče neće biti povezane? – Ne. Fabula, zaplet, likovi, sve je novo. Osim Banjaluke, ona je ista, uvek ista... Da, vaša Banjaluka, stavili ste je na svetsku scenu, budući da je Meso mnogo putovalo. Šta je najvažnije i najlepše što biste o Banjaluci rekli nekom strancu? – Nisam najbolji sagovornik za to. Nemam te sentimentalnenaočare, nemamlokal-patriotski pogledna Banjaluku, većkritički, običan, svakodnevni.Meneviše zanimaju vreme i okolnosti u kojima stasavaju generacije; promene vremena i sistema. Banjaluka živi jednu ngiranu istorijuveć60godina, lažnu i nametnutu. Polako seoslobađa toga, ali trebadostadaprođedabismo se vratili na vrednosti i standarde BanaMilosavljevića, pre komunističke puzajuće revolucije umotane uNOB. Upoznali smo Mirka i Slavka, a sada nam dolaze dva tipa i obojica se zovu Kosta, a ipak su sasvim različiti. Serija se bavi posleratnim vremenom, koje nas, kako ste jednom izjavili, sve poravnava. Hoće li se obojici lomiti kosti i hoće li nam biti teško da gledamo? – Kosti su dramska serija sa elementima trilera, ali humor je sastavni deo nekog našeg stila, pristupa, ako smem tako da kažem. Nije sve tako crno i mračno. Međutim, nema ničega smešnog u našoj priči o pokajanju. U tom smislu, ova serija nije zabavnog karaktera, ali nije ni puko lozo ranje u slikama, već dramsko tkivo, sukobljavanje sila dobra i zla preko leđa ljudi koji se lome pred teškim odlukama i pod teškim okolnostima. Što nas dovodi do trećeg dela trilogije. Da li je Koža već u pripremi i znate li već priču koju želite da ispričate? I zašto uopšte Meso, Kosti , Koža… – Imam priču za treći deo, nadam se da će i Koža doći na red. Meso, kosti, koža su propadljive stvari, zemaljske, prašina... Ljudi se batrgaju, muče svoje telo, lome svoje kosti, režu kožu radi nebitnih stvari, a o duši ne brinu. Nažalost, i ova civilizacija podržava tu logiku, za koju mi mislimo da je naopaka i pogrešna. Telo je propadljivo, duša nije. Radite i nešto sasvim drugačije. Donosite nam priču o jednom od najvoljenijih pevača stare Juge, legendarnom Tomi Zdravkoviću. Otkud vi u tome, volite li Tomu? – Ja već dugo živimodpisanja, od scenarija za lm i TV. Od reči. S druge strane, neka moja životna iskustvasu, verovatno, biladodatnimotivproducentimada meni prepuste pisanje scenarija o Tomi. NisamTomu upoznao, ali poznajemnjegov rad i pamtimvreme kada je novokomponovana narodnamuzika imala dušu. Imali ste priliku da istražujete njegov život. Da li ste saznali nešto što niste znali ili vas je na neki način dirnulo? – Dirnule su me ljubav, odanost i lojalnost njegove supruge Gordane. Ona i dalje živi za njega, sa Tomom u mislima. Tomina biogra ja je zaista lmska, uzbudljiva, savršen predložak za lm. Pokušao sam da izbegnem anegdotski pristup u pisanju scenarija i osvetlim njegovu tugu. Imate li ljubimicu među Tominim pesmama: Danka, Branka, Jelena, Ljiljana ili možda ipak Dotako sam dno života? – Postoji pesma Šta je to u meni . Poslušajte je. O toj pesmi i o činjenici da ju je Toma voleo govorila mi je njegova supruga Gordana. Spremate i projekat sa Brankom Katić. Možete li nam reći o čemu se radi? – Bosonogaprodukcija u saradnji saRTS-omtreba da radi seriju Advokado. To je punokrvna, rasna komedija. Branka igra jednu od uloga. Tu su još mnogi naši veliki glumci u podeli, ali o tome ćemo kada dođe vreme za to. Za kraj, ali ne najmanje važno, naravno, jer čini se da od svih svojih talenata najviše ipak volite muziku. Šta se kuva u muzičkoj kuhinji? – Ima novih pesama i uskoro ćemo objaviti još jedan singl. Pesma Meksikanac je prva objavljena sa novog albuma. Album stiže, daće bog, u 2021. godini bez korone.

INTERVJU INTERVI EW 26 | Intervju » Interview I NT E RV I EW N I KOL A P E J AKOV I C, ART I ST I tell stories about preserving the soul Our bodies, just like our lives, aremerely a flash in eternity, a second and nothing more, but the soul is eternal.We are, in a way, talking about the attentionwithwhich one should take care of one’s soul; to leave to the Earth that which is hers, and to take with us only that which is eternal Actor, screenwriter, director andmusician Nikola Pejaković Kolja (54) has a pulse, passion and the aura of an artist who was born in Banja Luka and grew up among the hills of the Balkans. He has a wellknown name and surname, but only a rare few really know him. But the public always seek more from him – another TV series, a new film, a concert... Arriving this November is Kosti [Bones], as a sequel to Mesa [Flesh], a TV series and film that won numerous awards worldwide, while he is also preparing a film about one of the most beloved musicians from this region - the sorrowful poet and bohemian Toma Zdravković… Nemam lokalpatriotski pogled na Banjaluku, već kritički, običan, svakodnevni. Mene više zanimaju vreme i okolnosti u kojima stasavaju generacije; promene vremena i sistema I don’t have a local-patriotic view of Banja Luka, but rather a critical, ordinary, everyday view. I’mmore interested in the time, in the circumstances under which generations grow up; changes in times and the system Following the phenomenal success of ‘Mesa’, we are awaited this November by the premiere of its follow-up, ‘Kosti’. Although this is the second part of a trilogy, the stories won’t be connected directly? - No. e contents, plot, characters and everything is new. Apart from Banja Luka, which is the same, always the same… Yes, your Banja Luka - you elevated the city to the world stage, given that Meso travelled a lot. What is the most important and most beautiful thing you would say about Banja Luka to a foreigner? - I’m not the best interlocutor for that. I don’t have those sentimental spectacles; I don’t have a local-patriotic view of Banja Luka, but rather a critical, ordinary, everyday view. I’m more interested in the time, in the circumstances under which generations grow up; changes in times and the system. Banja Luka has been living in a fictitious history for 60 years already, false and imposed. It is slowly freeing itself of that, but it will take a long time to return to the values and standards of Ban Milosavljević, before the creeping communist revolution wrapped up in the National Liberation War [WWII]. We’ve met Mirko and Slavko, now we’re awaited by two guys who are both called Kosta but who are nonetheless completely different people. e series deals with the post-war period, which, as you once stated, flattens everything. Will they both break bones and will it be tough for us to watch?
Interview » Intervju | 27 - Kosti is a drama series with elements of a thriller, but humour is an integral part of our style, our approach, if I may put it that way. Not everything is so black and dark. However, there is nothing funny about our story of repentance. In that sense, this series doesn’t have an entertaining character, but nor is it mere philosophising in images; rather it has a dramatic fabric, a clash of the forces of good and evil via the backs of people who break when faced with difficult decisions and under difficult circumstances. Which brings us to the third part of the trilogy. Are preparations already underway for Koža [Skin], and do you already know the story you want to tell? And why did you opt for Flesh, Bones, Skin…? - I have the story for the third part; I hope that Koža will also get its turn. Flesh, bones and skin are things that decompose, earthly, dust... People squirm, torture their bodies, break their bones, cut their skin, do unimportant things, and don’t care about their soul. Unfortunately, this civilisation also supports that logic, which we think is upside down and wrong. e body is perishable, but the soul is not. You are also working on something completely different. You are bringing us the story of one of the most beloved singers of the former Yugoslavia, the legendary Toma Zdravković. How come you ended up involved in that; are you a fan of Toma? - I’ve long beenmaking a living fromwriting, from writing screenplays for film and TV... Fromwords. On the other hand, some of my own life experiences probably provided additional motivation for the producers to leave it up to me to write the screenplay about Toma. I never met Toma, but I’m familiar with his work and I remember the time when newly composed folk music had soul. You had an opportunity to research his life. Did you discover something you didn’t know or that touched you in some way? - I was touched by love and devotion, the loyalty of his wife Gordana. She still lives for him, with Toma in her thoughts. Toma’s biography is truly cinematic, exciting, and the perfect template for a film. I tried to avoid an anecdotal approach in writing the screenplay and to shed light on his sadness. Do you have a favourite among Toma’s songs: Danka, Branka, Jelena, Ljiljana, or maybe I Touched e Bottom Of Life? - ere’s a song called ‘What’s at In Me’. Listen to it. His wife Gordana told me about that song and the fact that Toma loved it. You are also preparing a project with Branka Katić. Can you tell us about it? - A Barefoot production in cooperation with RTS, it should create the series Advokado. is is a full-blooded, thoroughbred comedy. Branka plays one of the roles. Also there are many more of our great actors in the mix, but we’ll talk about that when the time comes. And last, but of course by no means least, because it seems that of all your talents you nonetheless love music the most, what are you cooking in your musical kitchen? - ere are new songs and we’ll release another single soon. e song ‘ e Mexican’ is the first to be released from the new album. at album is coming, God willing, in 2021, a year without the ‘Corona’. Umetnost je stalno podsećanje na to da bog postoji i da smomi, ljudi, samo deo velikog plana / Art is a constant reminder that God exists and that we, as humans, are only part of a grand plan Čitammalo i nedovoljno Izjavili ste jednomda su vam određene knjige promenile život i sa dna vas vratile na put vere po kojem i sada tako dobro hodate. Šta ste to pročitali? – Pročitao sammalo i nedovoljno, ali taman da mi srce malo omekša, da se trgnem i krenem ka novom čoveku. Među njima, za mene lepa i važna knjiga je Suze za svet . To je knjiga o trojici staraca sa Svete gore. Neka vrsta zbirke svedočanstava drugih ljudi, monaha i mirjana, o svetim starcima. I READA LITTLE ANDNOT ENOUGH You stated once that certain books changed your life and raised you from rock bottom to a path of faith that you are still walking along so well today. What was it that you read? - I read a little and not enough. But just enough to soften my heart a little, to tug me and move me towards being a newman. Among them, a beautiful and important book for me is Tears for theWorld. That’s a book about three old men fromMount Athos. It’s a kind of collection of testimonies of other people, monks and laymen, about holy elders.
