Balkanski spijun - Sve su priznali - Srpski film


Balkanski špijun je srpska drama/komedija iz 1984. koju je po vlastitom scenariju režirao Dušan Kovačević. Film govori o paranoidnom i zbunjenom umirovljeniku (Danilo Stojković) koji je krivo umislio da je njegov običan podstanar zapravo terorist koji želi rušiti državu. Uz pomoć te priče film je obradio temu portage za “nevidljivim neprijateljima” i krivim iluzijama.

Vatrogasci feat Zeljko Joksimovic: Lane Moje


Kad na Hrvate pomislim
Odmah drugo mjesto osvojim
Iz bivše Juge, dvanaest mi nude
Ne mogu, bre, da ih ne volim

Lane moje, ovih dvanaest
Brojim, al' ne verujem
Daješ mi krila, baš ti hvala
Al' ljudi, ne razumijem

Lane moje, svi poeni
Nisu k'o tvoji bodovi
Nađi nekog nalik meni
Da te bolje predstavi, dogod'ne, na Evroviziji!

Fala, fala! Fala još jednom...

Lane moje, ovih dvanaest
Brojim, al' ne verujem
Daješ mi krila, baš ti hvala
Al' ljudi, ne razumijem

Lane moje, svi poeni
Nisu k'o tvoji bodovi
Nađi nekog nalik meni, il' Breni
Da te bolje predstavi, bolje mjesto osvoji...

Mladici / Room-mates



2007 couple of students from Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade (Uroš Tomić, Pavle Vučković) made a pilot for television sitcom named "Mladići"(international title is "Room-mates" since the title is play of words). It's about two young men (young men is "mladići" on Serbian) who need to move out of their parents house so their grandmother (Ratko Mladić's made-up-for-tv high school sweetheart) offers them her apartment if they agree to hide war criminal Ratko Mladić (played by Aleksandar Hrnjakovic) who is running away from his International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia trial. Even though the episode is based on almost pure fiction and fabricated truth, neither TV station in Serbia (including B92 and Radio Television of Serbia) wanted to pick this show up, and the reason was anything from "expensive production" (which is not true) to "theme that would make viewers angry" (and that could be true at some point, but South Park does it all the time and it re-invented modern television in that kind of way).

Old Ethno Song


Ojkavica is a type of singing from Dalmatian Zagora (Croatia) . It is characterized by a lone singer singing one line of lyrics and then others joining in for what can be best described as a wail. It is a very passionate form of singing, which is one of the reasons it has been limited in popularity to small towns.

Nikola Tesla biography (7 videos)


Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan on July 10th 1856, a little village near Gospić in Lika, Croatia. Their family name was not always Tesla. It had been Draganić, surname Tesla was given to them afterwards. Namely, allegedly one of Nikola's ancestors had extremely big front teeth that resembled carpenter tools ("Tesarski" alat) so he got the nickname "Tesla" after it.
Nikola grew up in a land-tilling environment. In those days Lika was one of the most underdeveloped and isolated regions of the Hapsburg Monarchy. Illiteracy, lack of education were characteristics of a whole southeast part of the Monarchy. Apart from that, up to 1881 Lika was included in Military Border so the life in the that region was far harder and more cruel than the life in the civil part of Croatia.
Up to age of ten, there was no possibility for Nikola to see the locomotive let alone to find out anything about the world technical achievements. One of the earliest events that Tesla remembered was that when he had been locked in a little mountain church. At the age of five Nikola would take a walk on Velebit, which towered above his home village...

ALKA - KNIGHTS GAME


The Alka is held to commemorate the victory of the outnumbered defenders of the old city of Sinj, against the multiples times more numerous and stronger Ottoman army in 1715.

Around 700 defenders held out against a siege of the Sinj fort, and according to historical sources, with their courage, fighting spirit and determination, the resisted the Ottoman army, which according to the same sources, had up to 60,000 soldiers.

The legend says that the defenders were helped in their battle with the appearance of the blessed Virgin Mary, so the defenders gathered gold and framed her picture with it.

In honour of the great victory, the citizens of Sinj, with permission from the Venetian authorities, founded the knight games, Alka, a unique competition of jousting knights in Europe, similar to knight tournaments from the middle ages, which has been kept as a tradition for nearly three centuries. According to sources, similar games have been held in Makarska and in other places in Dalmatia and Istria, but it is the Alka that is of great value for surviving until today, and has become a world attraction, because it has been held with unchanged rules, in Sinj, for 292 years.

UEFA CUP match: Buducnost vs Hajduk


HNK Hajduk Split's UEFA Cup first qualifying round trip to FK Budućnost Podgorica has brought back a mix of fond and painful memories at the Montenegrin club.

Defiant optimism
It is 16 years since the two sides met in a competitive game, when both were competing in the former Yugoslavia, and while Budućnost - who finished as runners-up in the inaugural Montenegrin season - will be without goalkeeper Mladen Božović and forward Nikola Vujović, both Montenegrin internationals who have decided to leave the club, there is still optimism in Podgorica.

'Only on paper'
"Yes, Hajduk are better then Budućnost, but only on paper," said the Montenegrin side's coach Saša Petrović. "They have to prove that on the pitch. We are ready for two big games. In the past, Hajduk also came to Podgorica as favourites but often left the field with their heads down. We will try to spring a surprise. There is no need for us to be afraid."

Old-fashioned rivalry
A large contingent of travelling Hajduk fans is expected for the first game, and 20-year-old Budućnost attacking midfielder Milan Djurišić is looking forward to a taste of old-fashioned Yugoslavian excitement. "I don't remember that period but I am glad we have a chance to turn back time for fans in Montenegro," he said. "I'm sure the stadium will be full and that we will play with our hearts."

Famous connection
The most famous connection between the two clubs is that a deal was arranged for Montenegrin footballing idol Predrag Mijatović - now sporting director at Real Madrid CF - to leave Budućnost for Hajduk in 1989, with a transfer fee being agreed, only for the move to collapse in the space of 24 hours when the player decided to join Belgrade giants FK Partizan.

Petrović thwarted
A less famous move that never was in 1990 saw current Budućnost coach Petrović lined up to replace his current Hajduk counterpart Ivan Pudar as goalkeeper at the Poljud Stadium. "It was a done deal but the Budućnost officials suddenly changed their minds and blocked the transfer," he remembered. "I remember the headline: 'Pudar leaves, Petrović arrives'."

Poljud trip
The coach's dream of a move to the Dalmatian coast will finally come true as he leads his side into the second leg of the tie on 2 August. "Now, at last I will go to the Poljud," said Petrović. With a little luck, he will be going there to defend a healthy first-leg lead.
