Vozi Misko - Napadnut Mladen Pavic


GLASNOGOVORNIK Jadranke Kosor Mladen Pavić u Vukovarskoj aveniji imao je bliski susret s prosvjednicima. Pavić je zapeo u koloni koja se stvorila kad su prosvjednici krenuli u marš prema HRT-u. Nekoliko prosvjednika ga je prepoznalo, te su mu lupali i pljuvali po autu.
"Nisam se bojao", kazao je Pavić, koji je događaj prepričao u razgovoru za Index. "Vraćao sam se kući s posla i sasvim slučajno se našao u Vukovarskoj ulici dok su prolazili prosvjednici", kaže Pavić. Glasnogovornika Vlade u koloni automobila najprije je prepoznala jedna starija gospođa.
"Počeo sam razgovarati s njom, bila je jako fina i kulturna", kaže Pavić kojem se starija prosvjednica pojadala zbog teške životne situacije koja ju je natjerala da izađe na ulice. "Dok sam razgovarao s njom, prepoznali su me još neki mlađi prosvjednici. Pljuvali su mi po autu, osjetio sam nekoliko udaraca u automobil, ali ne znam jesu li udarali rukama i nogama ili je bila bačena i kakva boca", kaže nam Pavić.
Glasnogovornik Vlade tvrdi da prosvjednici nisu udarali samo njegov automobil, već su lupali i ostale automobile koji su zapeli u koloni u Vukovarskoj. "Starija gospođa s kojom sam razgovarao tada mi je rekla da je bolje da odem, kako ne bi bilo još većih problema. Također se ogradila od tih mlađih prosvjednika koji su udarali po automobilima, nije joj se svidjelo njihovo ponašanje", rekao je Pavić zaključivši da je sve ipak prošlo bez znatnijih incidenata.

Michael Palin's New Europe - Split, Croatia


Until the early 1990s, when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, travelling behind the iron curtain was never easy. In undertaking his new journey through Eastern Europe, breathing in its rich history, filming its exquisite sights and talking to its diverse peoples, Michael fills what has been a void in his own experience and that of very many of his own generation. As in all his series, Palin's New Europe takes the form of a journey through countries which have rich and complex cultures. Few have survived intact, as the ebb and flow of warring armies has continually changed the map of Europe. Starting in the mountains of Slovenia he travels down through Croatia and the former Yugoslavia to Albania before turning northwards to embrace Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, The Ukraine, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, the former East Germany, Poland, the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad (as Konigsberg originally home to the Teutonic Knights), Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, opening up a new and undiscovered world to millions of viewers and readers.

Eurobasket 2007: Lithuania - Croatia 74:72


Lithuania Slip Past Croatia, Into Semis

Zoran Planinic missed two foul shots with 1.02 seconds remaining, allowing Lithuania to hold off a motivated Croatia 74-72 and book their spot in Saturday's semi-finals against Russia.

Darius Songalia scored 20 points, grabbed seven rebounds and gave Lithuania the winning basket with 46 seconds left.

Linas Kleiza collected 19 points and nine rebounds and Sarunas Jasikevicius dished out eight assists as Lithuania remained the only perfect team in the competition.

"It should have been an easier game, but it was very difficult for us psychologically. Croatia are a very good team, but every team in the quarter-finals is good," said Ramunas Siskauskas, who was held to just two points.

"We were a bit nervous at the beginning, but not in the final seconds and that's what helped us to the win."

Lithuania are hoping to repeat their 2003 run to the EuroBasket title - which they won with a perfect 6-0 run.

Eurobasket 2007: Croatia - Spain 85:84


Marko Tomas buried a three-pointer with 3.1 seconds remaining as Croatia stunned Spain 85-84 to finish top of Group B in Seville.

The win, achieved in Seville’s San Pablo Pavilion, gained partial revenge for the Croatians who were knocked out of EuroBasket 2005 by Spain in the quarter-finals.

The result also put Portugal into the next round, while eliminating Latvia – the team that beat Croatia in the opening game, 85-77.
Portugal upset Latvia on Wednesday.

“I’m really happy that we qualified for the next round with four points, that’s a big advantage for us,” said Croatia coach Jasmin Repesa.

“But, at the same time, we have to stay quiet and go game by game because we’ve seen many surprises already in this championship. I believed after the first big loss to Latvia, that we would get to Madrid. But I was worried how we played then.”

A Capella - Klapa Neverin (8 songs)


Klapa Neverin is a woman "a cappela" band from Kastel Luksic.

So called Dalmatian "klapa" songs are at the core of dalmatian music. "Klapa" in Dalmatian dialect means company or group, while in musical terms it refers to five-to-eight member ensembles. Traditionally, the ensemble consists only of male voices, but nowadays we witness the emergence of many mixed and female ensembles with a varying number of members.

Nevertheless, its basic characteristic and distinction are, and remain, solely vocal harmony-singing, only rarely discreetly and quietly accompanied by instruments. Part-singing, usually in four parts, is originally spontaneous, performed by the ear and not by following note recordings, so harmonization is simple. A low-pitched accompaniment is stressed by a larger number of singers, giving the songs a more intimate atmosphere.

Klapa songs have slow, free rhythm and are often without any measure mark (libero). Sometimes it even includes complex measures. The songs are usually quite serenade-like love songs, usually addressing a beloved girl. However, marry and satirical songs also exist. Regardless of a theme, they are always in a major key.

It is, therefore, not surprising that in the preservation of original folk music composers and musicologists-folklorists invested most of their effort into this particular segment. Consequently, a special annual festival of amateur Dalmatian singing was established in Omis - Festival of the Dalmatian klapas. In only few years, this festival has grown into a cultural institution of great importance and reputation. The lack of original records and the limited number of available songs prompted the composers to write more complex harmonizations to existing songs, as well as many entirely new songs, still respecting the tradition
