Er Srbija » Air Serbia | 9 Reč dobrodošlice Welcomemessage One of the favourite months for many people – August, when warm colours and summer energy reach their peak – has now arrived. August is the ideal month for summer holidays, enjoying yourself by the sea and having a good read. Statistics show that people tend to read the most during their summer holidays. Did you know that many countries celebrate Book Lovers Day on 9th August? Watermelon Day is also celebrated in August, which makes perfect sense considering that watermelons are among the best summer treats. We have dedicated this edition of Elevate to the magnificent Adriatic coast. One popular Belgrade musician wrote a verse that perhaps best describes all our Adriatic destinations. The song goes like this: “I’ll take you to a remote place, between mountains and the sea”, and we would encourage you to take advantage of our direct flights to Tivat, Dubrovnik, Split, Rijeka, Zadar and Pula, allowing you to quickly and comfortably reach the Adriatic coast. Italy also has a coastline on the Adriatic. Have you ever visited Venice or Bari? Venice needs no introduction, with everything probably having already been said or written about this city, so we can only recommend it as an ever-attractive destination. We believe that Bari is a gem of the Adriatic coast that you simply must explore. We have flights to Bari three times a week, every Monday, Thursday and Sunday, which makes it an ideal destination for an extended weekend break. In addition to our scheduled and seasonal destinations, the details of which are available towards the end of the magazine, we also provide charter flights during the summer season, in partnership with travel agents. From April to October, we fly to some of your favourite holiday resorts in Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt and Greece. This year, we also launched flights for the first time to Marsa Matruh, a popular resort in Egypt. Unlike Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh, both of which are located on the Red Sea, Marsa Matruh is located on the Mediterranean coast and is just 300 kilometres from the beautiful Alexandria. Whether you want to explore new cities that you’ve never been to before or to visit one of your most beloved destinations, it will be our pleasure to be part of your travels. Air Serbia is by your side year-round. Enjoy your flight and have a nice trip, Jiří Marek, CEO AirSerbia Dragi putnici, Dear passengers, Avgust 2023. August 2023 Jirži Marek Air Serbia CEO Stigli smodomnogimaomiljenog letnjeg meseca – avgusta, kad su tople boje i energija leta na vrhuncu. Taj mesec je idealan za odmor, uživanje uz more i dobru knjigu. Statistike pokazuju da se najviše čita na letnjimputovanjima. Znate li da se upravo 9. avgusta umnogim zemljama obeležava Dan ljubitelja knjige? U avgustu se takođe slavi Dan lubenice, što uopšte nije neobično s obziromna to da je reč o jednoj od najomiljenijih letnjih poslastica. Ovaj broj magazina „Elevejt“ posvetili smo prelepom Jadranu. Čuveni beogradski muzičar napisao je stih koji verovatno na najbolji mogući način opisuje sve naše destinacije na Jadranskom moru. Pesma kaže: „Na skriveno te vodim mesto, između planina i mora“, a mi vas pozivamo da iskoristite naše direktne avio-linije do Tivta, Dubrovnika, Splita, Rijeke, Zadra i Pule i tako brzo i udobno stignete do Jadranskog primorja. Italija jednim svojim delom takođe izlazi na Jadransko more. Da li ste već posetili Veneciju ili Bari? O Veneciji ne moramo mnogo da govorimo, o njoj je verovatno sve rečeno i napisano, pa nam ostaje samo da vam taj grad preporučimo kao uvek atraktivnu destinaciju, dok za Bari verujemo da je nedovoljno istražen biser Jadrana. Do tog grada letimo tri puta nedeljno, svakog ponedeljka, četvrtka i nedelje, što ga čini idealnom destinacijom za produženi vikend. Pored naših redovnih i sezonskih destinacija sa kojima se možete upoznati na samom kraju magazina, tokom letnje sezone u saradnji sa turističkim agencijama realizujemo i čarter-letove. Do omiljenih letovališta u Turskoj, Tunisu, Egiptu i Grčkoj letimo od aprila do oktobra. Ove godine smo prvi put u ponudu uveli i Marsa Matruh u Egiptu. Za razliku od Hurgade i Šarm el Šeika, koji se nalaze na obali Crvenog mora, Marsa Matruh izlazi na Sredozemno more, a nalazi se na samo 300 kilometara od prelepe Aleksandrije. Bilo da želite da otkrijete nove gradove u kojima do sada niste bili, bilo da još jednom posetite omiljenu destinaciju, biće nam zadovoljstvo da budemo deo vaših putovanja. Tokom 12 meseci u godini Er Srbija je tu za vas. Uživajte u letu i srećan put. Jirži Marek, Generalni direktor Er Srbija

Ove godine Er Srbija je prvi put u svoju ponudu uvela i Marsa Matruh u Egiptu. Za razliku od Hurgade i Šarm el Šeika, koji se nalaze na obali Crvenogmora, Marsa Matruh izlazi na Sredozemnomore i smeštena je na samo 300 kilometara od prelepe Aleksandrije. Prema rečima Boška Rupića, direktora Er Srbije za komercijalu i strategiju, letovi između Beograda i Marsa Matruh realizuju se svake sedmice u saradnji sa agencijom „Ponte Travel“ iz Beograda. „Marsa Matruh predstavlja jedan od bisera Egipta na Mediteranu. Ovo je prvi put da obavljamo letove ka toj destinaciji, što nas veoma raduje jer smo na taj način proširili mrežu naših čarter letova“, kaže Rupić.

“I travel plenty. I’m on a plane at least three times a week and I can admit that I’ve become addicted to flying. I love that feeling, it holds special joy for me. I adore travelling, and the best and fastest way to transport yourself from place to place is by plane. Of course, it’s always the most beautiful experience aboard the planes of our own airline…” What do you always carry with you on a flight? “I never board a plane without a book and cosmetics. If it’s a longer flight, I also carry my iPad so I can watch some film. I always use the time I spend on a plane well by planning everything that I want to do. And sometimes I simply get a good rest.” Who isMarija She completed the faculty of law and launched her career in music in 2015, at the National Theatre. Her solo career subsequently began in 2018, with a concert at Belgrade’s Balkan cinema, after which she continued with numerous concerts nationwide. The incredible energy of her sumptuous soprano voice has earned her a reputation as an opera singer whose concerts are a tribute to love, which is why the audience sets her apart and enjoys her emotion-packed performances.

Volim taj osećaj, ima neku posebnu draž za mene. Obožavamputovanja, a najbolji i najbrži način da se prevezete od mesta do mesta je avion. Uvek je, naravno, najlepše u avionima naše avio-kompanije... Šta uvek nosite sa sobom na letu? – Nikada ne ulazim u avion bez knjige i kozmetike. Ako je duži let u pitanju, tada nosim i ajped, pa pogledam i neki film. Vreme provedeno u avionu uvek dobro iskoristim da isplaniram sve što želim da uradim. A nekada se jednostavno dobro odmorim. MarijaNešić operskapevačica / opera singer

22 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia Čanakale se nalazi na ulazu u Dardanele, koji spaja Egejsko i Mramorno more. To je mesto gde su se sretali komandanti, ratnici, umetnici, filozofi, istraživači i pesnici. Mesto na kom su se odigrale legendarne bitke – Trojanski rat i Galipolje. Ova istorijska mesta nalaze se s obe strane moreuza Dardanele, razdvajajući Evropu i Aziju u gradu, drugom posle Istanbula, koji deli kontinente. Smatra se da je Troja smeštena na ivici zaliva gde Karamender i Dumrek dopiru do Egejskog mora. Grad koji je rušen ratovima i elementarnim nepogodama postepeno je gubio na značaju i konačno je napušten. Na ulazu u drevni grad koji je Unesko 1998. uvrstio na listu svetske baštine, posetioce danas dočekuje Muzej Troje koji kroz artefakte sa iskopavanja objašnjava život i istoriju grada. Čanakale je čuven i po bici koja se ovde odigrala na početku Prvog svetskog rata. Pokušaj savezničke flote da osvoji Dardanele u februaru 1915. nije uspeo i usledilo je amfibijsko iskrcavanje na poluostrvo Galipolje u aprilu 1915. Cilj je bio osvajanje Istanbula (tada Carigrada), ali je turska vojska sa Kemalom Ataturkom na čelu u januaru 1916, posle osam meseci borbi, uspela da natera saveznike na povlačenje. Poprište bitke danas je nacionalni park koji je sa brojnim spomenicima registrovan na Uneskovoj listi 2014. Asos Drevni priobalni grad Asos je još jedna kulturna baština Čanakalea na Uneskovoj listi, a možda i jedan od najslikovitijih drevnih gradova u Turskoj. Nalazi se na stenovitom brdu, 17 kilometara južno od okruga Ajvačik. Godine 348. pre nove ere Aristotel je došao u Asos i osnovao filozofsku školu u kojoj je predavao tri godine. Na akropolju se nalazi najraniji dorski hram u Anadoliji, hram Atine, zidovi utvrđenja i turska džamija iz ranog perioda. Možete pratiti stazu do donjeg grada i posetiti agoru, gimnaziju i uživati u prekrasnom pogledu na Lezbos iz pozorišta. Asos je sa svojom prelepom prirodom destinacija koja se često koristi u turskim Čanakale Çanakkale Foto:Depositphotos
24 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia Foto:Depositphotos / Multipedia Çanakkale is located at the entrance of the Dardanelles Strait, which connects the Aegean and Marmara seas. It is a place that has welcomed leaders, commanders, warriors, artists, philosophers, explorers, and poets. The lands of the legendary Trojan War and Dardanelles Campaign are located on both sides of the Dardanelles Strait, which would much later divide the city of Istanbul to form a city that separates Europe and Asia. Troy is thought to have been located at the edge of the bay where the rivers Karamenderes and Dümrek reach the Aegean. The city, which was destroyed by wars and natural disasters, gradually lost its importance and was finally abandoned. Troy Museum today welcomes visitors at the entrance to the Ancient City of Troy, which was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List back in 1998. The museum depicts and explains the life and archaeological history of Troy and its cultures through artefacts recovered during excavations. Çanakkale is also famous worldwide for the battle that took place here following the outbreak of World War I. The Allied fleet’s attempt to force passage through the Dardanelles in February 1915 failed and was followed by an amphibious landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in April 1915. The objective was to conquer Istanbul (then still known as Constantinople), but the Turkish Army, under the leadership of then commander Kemal Atatürk, managed to hold off the land offensive and the allies were forced to withdraw in January 1916, after eight months of heavy fighting. The battlefields are now occupied by a national park containing numerous monuments that were registered on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2014. Assos The ancient Greek coastal town of Assos is another site in Çanakkale province to be included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, and it is perhaps one of the most scenic ancient cities in modern Türkiye. It is situated on a rocky hill some 17 kilometres south of the district of Ayvacık. Aristotle arrived in Assos in 348 BC and established a philosophical school where he taught for three years. The acropolis hosts the earliest Doric temple in Anatolia, a Temple of Athena, fortification walls and a Turkish mosque from the early period. You can follow the path leading to the lower city and visit the agora, the gymnasium, and enjoy great views of Lesbos from the theatre. With its beautiful nature and ancient ruins, Assos is a regular backdrop used for filming Turkish TV series, while it is an alluring spot for divers thanks to its clean seas and rich underwater world. Bozcaada Located near Çanakkale, at the mouth of the Dardanelles Straits, Bozcaada is Türkiye’s third largest island, covering an area of 40 square kilometres. Upon arrival on the island, you are greeted by the castle overlooking the harbour. You can wander its narrow streets between beautiful and colourful houses, then head to the Çiçek Patisserie for some Kavala cookies, one of the famous delicacies of the island, or to try ice cream flavoured with the famous local fragrant lavender. If you’re there at sunset, head to the Polente Lighthouse to enjoy some wonderful views. Wine seems as plentiful as water on this island and a tour reveals many vineyards and wine cellars. There are good sand beaches at Ayazma, Poyraz and İğdelik, while jazz lovers will enjoy September’s annual festival. serijama, a takođe je pogodno mesto za ronioce zbog čistog mora i bogatog podvodnog sveta. Bozdžada Smešten u blizini Čanakalea na ušću moreuza Dardanele, Bozdžada je treće po veličini ostrvo u Turskoj sa 40 kvadratnih kilometara. Kada stignete na ostrvo, dočekaće vas dvorac sa pogledom na luku. Možete lutati uskim ulicama između živopisnih kuća i na kraju oti i u poslastičarnicu „Čiček“ da pojedete Kavala gurabije, jednu od poznatih delicija ostrva, ili da probate sladoled sa ukusom čuvene lokalne lavande. Trebalo bi da odete do svetionika Polente da biste uživali u prekrasnim pogledima. I da popijete čašu vina, jer ovde vino teče u izobilju kao voda, pa obiđite vinograde i vinske podrume. Postoje dobre peščane plaže u Ajazmi, Pojrazu i Igdeliku, a za sve ljubitelje džeza tu je godišnji festival, jedno od najpopularnijih džez okupljanja koje se održava u septembru.
Air Serbia » Er Srbija | 25 Balikesir je važna turistička destinacija na obalama Egejskog i Mramornog mora, mesto sa jedinstvenim zalivima, ostrvcima, planinama i termalnim izvorima. To je grad gde se sre u kultura, istorija i priroda, čija se vizija i uloga konstantno širi, turski raj sa dva univerziteta, neverovatnom arhitekturom i prirodnim lepotama. Lociran je između dva mora i bogat svežom ribom. Ima više od stotinu šuma, te se u njemu diše punim plu ima. Obiluje termalnim izvorima, a njegovi meštani proizvode više od pedeset vrsta sireva, dok su ilimi i tkanine samo deo kulturinog nasleđa. Ako putujete kroz oblast zaliva automobilom, prolazite kroz Drevnu planinu Ida (Kaz Daglari), ali ima tu još nekih mesta koje treba posetiti. Ajvalik Ajvalik je poznat po ronjenju, plažama, prostranim nacionalnim parkovima i čudesnoj arhitekturi. Ovde možete posetiti Seitan Sofrasi (Đavolja gozba) i uživati u predivnom zalasku sunca. Na ostrvu Džunda probajte papaline i čuvene tostirane sendviče „Ajvalik Tostu“. Nemoguće je zamisliti Ajvalik bez njegovih svetilišta, kao i plaža. Najpoznatija je Sarimsakli, čuvena po suvom pesku koji se ne lepi za telo. Barovi na plaži i restorani u kojima se služi domaća kuhinja omogućavaju posetiocima da se lepo odmore od mora i sunca. Njegova 22 ostrva, 60 mesta za ronjenje, bogata podvodna fauna i flora čine Ajvalik rajem za ljubitelje mora. Sa optimalnim klimatskim uslovima i povoljnim vetrom i talasima, Ajvalik je takođe veoma popularna destinacija za jedrenje. OstrvoDžunda Ostrvo Džunda, poznato i kao ostrvo Alibej, nalazi se odmah pored obale u blizini Ajvalika, između Čanakalea i Izmira na severnoj obali Egejskog mora. Postoji drumski most koji povezuje ostrvo sa kopnom. Stara arhitektura anadolskih Grka je posebno zanimljiva sa drevnim kućama i uskim ulicama. Na ostrvu treba posetiti takozvano Brdo ljubavnika zbog njegovih neverovatnih pogleda, zatim Crkvu Panagija i biblioteku. Džunda je još poznata i po veličanstvenim zalascima sunca, morskim plodovima i tavernama u kojima se razgovori nastavljaju do ranih jutarnjih sati. Balikesir BALIKESİR Foto:Depositphotos
26 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia Balıkesir is an important tourist destination that boasts coasts on both the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea, a place of unique bays, islets, mountains and hot springs. It is a city that fuses culture, history and nature, with a vision and role that are expanding constantly. A haven of Turkish academicism, it has two universities and incredible architecture to rival its stunning nature. Being located between two seas ensures it is the perfect spot for lovers of freshly caught fish. It also has more than a hundred forests, making it a great spot to fill your lungs to the max. Rich in hot springs, local residents produce over 50 types of cheese here, while rugs and fabrics form just part of its vast cultural heritage. If you are traversing the Gulf of Izmit by car, be sure to pass through Mount Kaz, or Mount Ida (Kaz Dagları), but there are also other mustsee sites in the area. Ayvalık Ayvalık is famous for its excellent diving, delightful beaches, expansive national parks and stunning architecture. Here you can visit Şeytan Sofrası (the Devil’s Feast) and enjoy marvellous sunsets. It is recommended to try “papalina” fish while you’re on Cunda Island, but also its famous toasted sandwiches “Ayvalık Tostu”. It is impossible to imagine Ayvalık without its sanctuaries, but also without its beaches. The most notable is Sarımsaklı Beach, which is renowned for its dry sand that doesn’t stick to the body. Beach bars and seafront restaurants serving local cuisine enable visitors to take a nice break from the sea and sun. With 22 islands, 60 diving spots and rich underwater fauna and flora, Ayvalık is a true diver’s paradise. The "red coral" that can be seen in 34 diving spots along the Ayvalık coast is enchanting. With optimal climatic conditions and favourable winds and waves, Ayvalık is also a very popular destination for windsurfers and sailors. Cunda Island Cunda Island, also known as Alibey Island (Alibey Adası), is situated just off the coast of Ayvalık between Çanakkale and İzmir on the north coast of the Aegean. A road bridge connects the island to the mainland, while its Anatolian Greek architecture – with old houses and narrow streets – is particularly interesting. Apart from enjoying the sea and sand, other things to do on Cunda include visiting the Lovers’ Hill for its amazing views, visiting the Panagia Church and Library. This island is also famous for its glorious sunsets, delicious seafood and taverns where the conversation invariably continues into the early hours of the morning.

38 | Intervju » Interview Intervju Interview Saša Aleksander glumica Često govorim srpski, negujem sećanje na svoje poreklo Jeste li znali da se iza njenog umetničkog imena krije Suzana Drobnjaković i da je ova poznata Srpkinja snaha legendarne Sofije Loren? One koji su gledali „Dosonov svet“, „Mornaričke istražitel je“, „Besramnike“ ili treći nastavak kultnog američkog blokbastera „Nemogućamisija“možda će iznenaditi da je pravo ime glumice Saše Aleksander, koja se pojavljuje u svimovimnaslovima, u stvari Suzana Drobnjaković. Rođena je u mešovitom braku oca Italijana i majke Srpkinje, a svojim balkanskim poreklom se izuzetno ponosi, iako oduvek živi uAmerici (rođena je u Los Anđelesu). Sašu Aleksander trenutno na kanalu „FOXCrime“ gledamou seriji „Rizoli i Ajls“, aupravo joj je rola hladnokrvne i pragmatične forenzičarkeMore Ajls, koju je tumačila u sedam sezona i više od 105 epizoda, donela svetsku slavu, kao i neprocenjivo prijateljstvo s koleginicomEndži Harmon. U ekskluzivnom intervjuu za „Elevejt“ najpoznatija holivudska zvezda naših korena otkriva kakva sećanja je vežu za Srbiju i kako ju je put doveo do junakinje More Ajls. –Zapravo, dugogodišnje„prijateljstvo“ saMoromjeostavilo traga na meni. Nemoguće je da nekoga glumite tako dugo, a da ne poprimite bar deo njenihnavika i osobina.Mora i ja semnogo razlikujemo. Ona je koncentrat čistog razuma i profesionalnehladnokrvnosti. Svoju logiku koristi poput noža i zato je i pronašla savršenu kontratežu u Džejn Rizoli, koja je potpuno spontana, opuštena i ne mari ni za jedno od pravila bez kojih bi život moje More bio moguć. Istina je da sam i ja u privatnom životu mnogo bliža Džejn nego Mori, ali
Interview » Intervju | 39 Saša Aleksander rođena je u Los Anđelesu, majka joj je Srpkinja, a od 2007. godine udata je za reditelja Edoarda Pontija, sina Sofije Loren, s kojim ima dvoje dece Sasha Alexander was born in Los Angeles to a Serbian mother, and since 2007 has been married to director Edoardo Ponti, the son of Sophia Loren, with whom she has two children Tekst / Words: Nikola Dražović Fotografije / Photography: Profimedia.rs, FOX sve češće sebe hvatamu razmišljanju: „Hm, kako bi Mora rešila ovaj problem?“ – na početku razgovora otkriva glumica koja se često hvali svojimpoznavanjemsrpskog jezika, a koji joj je uz engleski i italijanski treći jezik koji tečno govori. Tako je cela Amerika u jednom od najpopularnijihnoćnihTVprograma imalaprilikudagledakakoSaša čuvenog voditelja Konana O’Brajana uči tome koliko je srpski zaista lak jezik. To ste demonstrirali i u seriji, zar ne? – Da, ali na malo drugačiji načinnego kodKonana. (smeh). Naš jezik jeveomaegzotičanstrancima. Često govorimsrpski, jer smatram da jevažnonegovati sećanjenasvoje poreklo. Međutim, kod Konana samdemonstrirala tumalo sočniju stranu srpskog jezika, naravno, kroz originalne srpske psovke, što semesecima kasnije prepričavalo. U seriji je to, ipak, malo suptilnije. Mora kroz razgovor sa Džejn i njihovimkolegama objašnjava kako je srpski lak jezik za učenje, ona razgovara sa žrtvamanapadača čije su metode povezane sa zločinima nad Srbima tokom Drugog svetskog rata. Moje veze sa Srbijomsu se producentima učinile veoma zanimljivimmaterijalomda obogate seriju, i drago mi je što je publika to tako dobro prihvatila. Druženje sa „Rizoli i Ajls“ trajalo je skoro čitavu deceniju. Kakve uspomene nosite sa snimanja ove serije? – Od početka sam volela ovu seriju zbog toga što nikad nije bila klasičan triler, ali ni standardan format serija na koje smo dotad navikli. U fokusu cele priče bilo je divno prijateljstvo dve potpuno različite, a podjednako uspešne i hrabre žene. To je ono što mi je uvek najviše prijalo kod „Rizoli i Ajls“, ta njihova prirodnost i nenametljivost. One su prave superžene, ali ne u smislu borbe sa kriminalcima. Njihova snaga ogleda se u njihovoj sposobnosti da budu same. Prepoznale suto jednaudrugoj i to ovu seriju čini posebnom. Dopada mi se što nismo nametali da one po svaku cenu moraju biti najbolje prijateljice, što njihovi razgovori nisu isprazne priče o momcima i izlascima, već inteligencija i iskrena osećanja. Nema mnogo serija koje su do tog nivoa dopustile da se odnos izmeđuglavnih junaka postepeno razvija, da bi na kraju formirao zaista snažnu i emocijama nabijenu vezu. I čini mi se da je publika upravo zbog toga i zavolela Džejn i Moru. Šta vam je bio najveći izazov u kreiranju More? – Sve. (smeh). Osim toga što smo obe žene, nemamnijednu zajedničku tačku s njom. Loša sam u logici i matematici, karakterno smo potpuno različite. Ja sam više neko ko se prepušta trenutku i voli nepredvidivost i izazove, dok je zaMoru život bez pravila pakao. Ali prijalomi je to što je uvelamalo discipline u moj život. Svakako mi je najveći izazov bio njen posao. Bila sam sebi nezamisliva za forenzičarskim stolom kako seciram ljude i upotrebljavamsvemedicinske termine koje sam nekako na kraju uspela da savladam, ali nikada ne znaš šta ti život nosi. Eto, na kraju samupravo to radila sedam sezona. Jeste li čitali romane Tes Geritsen, na kojima je zasnovana serija, pre nego što ste stali pred kamere? –Nisam. Scenario za seriju bio je moj prvi kontakt sa Tes i tada sam zbog pripreme prvi put pročitala dve njene knjige. Međutim, producentima se dopalo baš to što ranije nisam imala kontakta sa sadržajem, pa su želeli da Moru zasnujem na nekoj svojoj viziji, da se ne držimtoliko romana i onoga što bi ljubitelji Tes Geritsen voleli da vide u seriji. I čini mi se da je baš taj nov pristup doneo autentičnu svežinu. Inače, volim trilere i misterije, a uz Tes jedan od omiljenih autora u čijim delima uživam mi je Džon Grišam. Sasha a l exande r , act r ess I speak Serbian often, nurturing thememory of my roots Did you know that behind her alias is the real name of Suzana Drobnjaković and that this famous Serbian-American is the daughter-in-law of the legendary Sophia Loren? Those who watched Dawson’s Creek, NCIS, Shameless or the third instalment of cult American blockbuster filmMission: Impossible might be surprised to find that the real name of actress Sasha Alexander, who appears in all these titles, is actually called Suzana Drobnjaković! Born to an Italian father and a Serbian mother, she is extremely proud of her Balkan roots despite having spent her entire life inAmerica (she was born in Los Angeles). We’re currently watching Sasha Alexander in the series Rizzoli & Isles on the FOX Crime channel, and it wasactually this roleof theblunt and pragmatic forensic scientist Maura Isles, whom she has portrayed over seven seasons and more than 105 episodes, that brought her worldwide fame, but alsoaprecious friendshipwithher co-starAngieHarmon. In this exclusive interview for Elevate, the most famous Hollywood star with Serbianorigins reveals the
40 | Intervju » Interview memories that connect her toSerbia and how her journey led her to the heroine that is Maura Isles. “Actually, the enduring “friendship”withMaura left itsmarkonme. It’s impossible to portray someone for so longwithout acquiring at least some of their habits and character traits.Maura and I differ a lot. She is the essence of pure reason and professional coolness.Her logic cuts like a knife and that’swhy she found the perfect counterbalance in Jane Rizzoli,who is completelyspontaneous, chilled and isn’t bothered about any of the ruleswithoutwhichmyMaura’s lifewould be possible.The truth is that I’mmuch closer to Jane than toMaura inmy private life, though I do increasingly “catch” myself wondering: “Hmm, how would Maura solve this problem?”, reveals this actresswhooftenboasts of her knowledge of Serbian, which – alongside Englishand Italian– is the third language that she speaks fluently. And so it was that, in one of the most popular late-night chat shows, the whole of America was able towatch Sasha teaching famous host Conan O’Brien how easy Serbian really is.” You also demonstrated that in the series, right? “Yes, but in a slightly different way than with Conan [laughs]. Our language is very exotic to foreigners. I often speak Serbian, because I think it’s important to nurture the memory of one’s roots. However, with Conan I demonstrated that slightly juicier side of the Serbian language, throughoriginal Serbian swear words of course, which was being recounted formonths afterwards. That’s nonetheless a little subtler in the series. Maura explains, through a conversationwith Jane and their colleagues, howeasy a language Serbian is to learn; she converses with the victims of attackers whose methods are linked to crimes committed against Serbs during World War II. The producers turned my links with Serbia into very interesting material to enrich the series, and I’mglad thatwas so well accepted by the audience.” Your association with Rizzoli & Isles lasted almost a decade. How are your memories of filming for this series? “The reason I loved this show from the start is that it was never a classic thriller, butnor did it have the standard series format thatwewere then accustomed to.The whole story focused on thewonderful friendship between two completely different but equally successful and courageouswomen.Thatwas always what I likedthemost aboutRizzoli& Isles, that naturalness andunobtrusiveness of theirs. They are real superwomen, but not in the sense of fighting criminals.Their strength is reflected in their ability to be alone. They recognised that in one another and that’s what makes this series special. I like the fact that we didn’t impose on them a need to be best friends at all costs; that their conversations aren’t hollow stories about guys and nights out, but rather intelligence andhonest feelings.There aren’tmany shows thathaveallowed relations between the main characters to develop to that level gradually, only to ultimately form a truly strong and emotionally charged relationship. And it seems to me that that’salsopreciselywhy theaudience loved Jane and Maura.” What was your greatest challenge in creating the role of Maura Isles? “Everything [laughs]. Apart from the fact that we’re both women, we have absolutely nothing in common. I’mbadat logic andmaths, we have completely different characters. I’mmore the type of person who surrenders to themoment and likesunpredictabilityandchallenges, while a life without rules would be hell for Maura. But I liked the fact that she instilled some discipline in my life.The biggest challenge forme was definitely her job. I could never have imagined myself at a forensic autopsy table, dissecting people and using all themedical terms that I somehow managed to master in the end, but you never know what life will bring you. And I ended up spending seven seasons doing precisely that. Did you read Tess Gerritsen’s novels that formed the basis of the show prior to standing in front of the cameras? “I didn’t.The script for the show wasmyfirst contactwithTess, andas part of my preparations I then read two of her books for the first time. However, theproducers likedthe fact that I’dhadnoprevious contactwith the content, so they wanted me to base Maura on a vision of my own, andnot to stick somuch to the novels and what fans of Tess Gerritsen would like to see in the show. And it seems to me that it was precisely this new approach that brought some authentic freshness. Interestingly, I like thrillers and mysteries and, apart from Tess, one of my favourite authors, whose works I enjoy, is John Grisham.” Foto: Profimedia / TNT Collection / Everett

Ja u to ne verujem. Veliki umetnici su veliki ljudi. Veliku priču može ispričati samo veliki karakter, veliku sliku može naslikati samo velika duša“, rekao je pesnik Matija Bećković za jednog od najpoznatijih srpskih umetnika –Miodraga Miću Popovića – koji je istovremeno bio i likovni kritičar, i pisac, i filmski reditelj, a ipak ostao upamćenprvenstveno kao slikar. Mića Popović je rođen u Loznici pre 100 godina. Njegov otac Toma bio je učitelj, a majka Dana brinula je o domaćinstvu. Kad je dečak napunio četiri godine, porodicaPopović preselila seu Beograd, gdeMića polako stasava u grandioznu ličnost. Nakon završene osnovne škole i gimnazije i nakon kraja Drugog svetskog rata, koji provodi delom u logoru, a delom na frontu, on upisuje Likovnu akademiju u klasi čuvenog Ivana Tabakovića. TuMića zatiče vrlo čudnu klimu. Među profesorima se vodio rat oko toga da li se treba držati predratnog intimizma ili se prikloniti nastupajućem socrealizmu. Uz ovu konfuznu ideološku situaciju, studentima nije bilo omogućeno da crtaju i slikaju po modelima. „Crtali smo ljudski kostur i bilo nam je dosadno“, kasnije je pričala Mićina supruga i koleginica Vera Božičković. Po dogovoru sa profesorom Tabakovićem, mala grupa studenata – Bata Mihailović, Petar Omčikus, Mile Andrejević, Ljubinka Jovanović, Kosara Boškan – i Mića i Vera, odlučila je da drugi semestar i godine studija provede u prirodi, sa idejom da u toj lepoti nađu inspiraciju. Otisnuli su se u Dalmaciju, u Zadar, u kom je stvorena Zadarska grupa, prva posleThey say it’s possible to be a great artist and a little man, to have a big gift and a small spirit. I don’t believe in that. Great artists are great people. Only a great character can tell a great story, only a great soul can paint a great picture,” said poet Matija Bećković speaking about one of themost famous Serbian artists - Miodrag ‘Mića’ Popović. For Mića, who was simultaneously also an art critic, a writer and a filmdirector, he has primarily been remembered as a painter. Mića Popović was born in Loznica 100 years ago. His father, Toma, was a teacher, while his mother, Dana, took care of the household.WhenMićaturnedfour, the Popović family moved to Belgrade, where he slowly grew up to become a grandiose personality. After completing his primary schoolingandthe ‘gymnasium’ high school, and after the end of World War II, which he’d partly spent in a labour campandpartlyat the front, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in the class of the famous Ivan Tabaković. Mićawouldfind a very strange climate there.He encounteredawar beingwagedamong theprofessors overwhether to stick topre-war intimism or to tend more towards the emerging social realism. This confused ideological situation led to students not beingallowedtodrawandpaint according tomodels. “We drewa human skeletonand found it boring,” saidMića’s wife and classmate, Vera Božičković, speaking later. According to an agreement reachedwith Professor Tabaković, a small group of students - BataMihailović, Petar Omčikus, Mile Andrejević, Ljubinka Jovanović, Kosara Boškan, and Mića and Vera - decided to spend the second semester and years of study in nature, with the idea of finding inspiration in those beautiful sur-
