Dragi putnici!

Dear passengers!

Dobro došli u naš zrakoplov u ovome ljetnom dijelu godine, koji je za nas uvijek najdinamičniji i najaktivniji. Raduje me da smo dočekali ublažavanje epidemioloških mjera u našoj zemlji, ali i u mnogim drugim europskim zemljama, što nam je omogućilo širenje mreže letova iz Zagreba i jadranskih odredišta prema europskim metropolama. Tijekom ljetnih mjeseci za vas letimo u 18 europskih i 7 hrvatskih odredišta. Drago mi je što vam, u skladu s aktualnom situacijom, ponovno možemo pružiti uslugu hrane i pića u našim zrakoplovima. To će, vjerujem, dodatno pridonijeti da se s nama osjećate ugodno, kao i novi broj našeg časopisa s mnogo zanimljivih tema iz kontinentalne te obalne i otočne Hrvatske. Predstavljamo vam i sjajnog mladog hrvatskog poduzetnika Matu Rimca, čiji električni automobili i vrhunska tehnologija osvajaju svijet. Croatia Airlines od osnutka snažno podupire razvoj hrvatskoga gospodarstva. Ni u ovim izvanrednim okolnostima pandemije naši zrakoplovi nisu prestali letjeti, čime je naša kompanija dodatno potvrdila da predstavlja strateški dio hrvatske prometne infrastrukture pridonoseći održivosti i razvoju hrvatskoga gospodarstva i turizma. Osobito mi je zadovoljstvo, poštovani putnici, s vama podijeliti radost i ponos zbog naše ovogodišnje okrugle obljetnice − 30 godina zajedničkog letenja. Naime, 5. svibnja 1991. obavljen je naš prvi komercijalni let na liniji Zagreb − Split, a njime je uspostavljen redoviti zračni promet unutar Hrvatske i ostvaren san o hrvatskoj zrakoplovnoj kompaniji. Zahvaljujem vam na povjerenju, uz obećanje da će kvaliteta usluge i sigurnost letenja i dalje biti prioriteti u poslovanju naše kompanije. Veselim se unaprijed svim našim zajedničkim letovima.

Welcome to our aircraft in this summer part of the year, which is always the most dynamic and active for us. I’m glad that we’ve welcomed the easing of public health and safety measures in both Croatia and many other European countries, which allows us to expand our network of flights from Zagreb and Adriatic destinations to European cities. During the summer, we’ll fly you to 18 European and 7 Croatian destinations. I’m also glad that, in line with the current situation, we can re-introduce our in-flight food and beverage service. Apart from the new issue of our magazine featuring many interesting pieces on continental and coastal Croatia including its islands, this will, I believe, further contribute to making you feel comfortable with us. We’re also presenting the great young Croatian entrepreneur, Mate Rimac, whose electric cars and state-of-the-art technology are conquering the world. Since establishment, Croatia Airlines has strongly supported the development of Croatia’s economy. Even in these extraordinary circumstances, we’ve never stopped flying, which only confirms that our company represents a strategic segment of Croatia’s transport infrastructure and that it contributes to the sustainability and development of Croatia’s economy and tourism. I’m particularly pleased, dear passengers, to share with you the joy and pride in celebrating our round anniversary this year − we’ve been flying together for 30 years. It was on 5th May 1991 that we operated our first commercial flight from Zagreb to Split, which represented the establishment of scheduled air traffic within the borders of Croatia, with which Croatia achieved its dream of establishing its own flag carrier. Thank you for your trust and we promise that the quality of service and flight safety will continue to be priorities in the business operations of our company. I look forward to all our future flights together.

N NA SVIJETU

THE FASTEST CARS IN THE WORLD

MATE RIMAC Električni supersportski automobili Rimac dizajnirani su, razvijeni i proizvedeni u Hrvatskoj. U samo deset godina poduzeće mladog hrvatskog poduzetnika preraslo je iz projekta u garaži u globalnu kompaniju koja radi s najistaknutijim imenima automobilske industrije širom svijeta. Zbog toga su i česti putnici na letovima Croatia Airlinesa. Rimac Automobili electric hypercars are designed, developed and manufactured in Croatia. In just ten years, this young Croatian entrepreneur’s company has grown from a garage project to a global company that works with the most prominent names in the automotive industry across the world. This is why they travel a lot, often flying aboard Croatia Airlines.

CROATIA AIRLINES 2/2021

ate Rimac mladi je hrvatski poduzetnik za kojega bi se moglo reći da je u samo desetak godina prerastao svoj dječački san i pretvorio ga u stvarnost. I to kakvu! U to kratko vrijeme njegova se kompanija od skromnih početaka u garaži prometnula u svjetski prepoznatljiv brend. Kad je osnovao svoju tvrtku Rimac Automobili 2009. godine, Mate Rimac imao je samo 21 godinu. Svoj prvi automobil, BMW E30, s kojim je sudjelovao na utrkama, pretvorio je u električni, a on je kasnije oborio niz Guinnessovih svjetskih rekorda za ubrzanje. Njegova vizija bila je stvoriti sportski automobil 21. stoljeća i dokazati potencijal

električnog pogona u stvaranju zabavnih, brzih i uzbudljivih električnih automobila. Danas poduzeće Rimac Automobili sa sjedištem na periferiji Zagreba ima tisuću zaposlenika, razvija i proizvodi ključne sustave elektrifikacije za mnoge svjetske automobilske kompanije, a istodobno podiže ljestvicu vozila visokih performansi s vlastitim električnim hiperautomobilima. Kompanija je to u usponu u automobilskoj industriji i u tranziciji prema električnoj budućnosti. U samo 10 godina Rimac Automobili prerastao je iz projekta u garaži u globalno poduzeće koje radi s nekima od najistaknutijih imena u automobilskoj industriji. Dioničari i strateški partneri Rimac

rano, razvijeno i napravljeno posebno za Neveru. Odlikuje se vrhunskom tehnologijom koja omogućuje visoke performanse, dosad neviđene u produkcijskom automobilu. Ubrzava do 100 km/h za manje od dvije sekunde, četvrtinu milje prelazi za 8,6 sekundi i postiže maksimalnu brzine od 412 km/h. Time Nevera podiže ljestvicu u ovoj kategoriji automobila. Baterijski paket kapaciteta od 120 kWh uz elektropogon s četiri motora omogućuje 1914 konjskih snaga i 2360 Nm okretnog momenta, a pametan sustav upravljanja okretnim momentom na svakom kotaču omogućuje potpunu prilagodbu stila vožnje. Nevera ima i najnapredniji karbonski

10 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 2/2021

Automobila su Porsche i Hyundai−Kia, a kompanija proizvodi tehnologiju i za druge partnere − Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, Pininfarinu, Cupru i druge.  Nedavno ste predstavili produkcijsku verziju svoje druge generacije supersportskih automobila Rimac Nevera. Sve glavne komponente Nevere dizajnirane su, razvijene i proizvedene na lokacijama Rimac Automobila u Hrvatskoj. Možete li nam reći nešto više o tom sjajnom novom projektu? − Riječ je o automobilu koji je od samog početka razvio tim Rimac: sve je dizajni-

monokok u industriji, sustav autonomne vožnje na stazi i drugo. Razvoj i testiranje automobila intenzivno traju već četiri godine, a s obzirom na to kako će Nevera uskoro biti globalno homologiran automobil, vlasnici će ga moći registrirati i voziti svugdje u svijetu.  Zanimljivo je ime Nevera. Kako ste odabrali upravo to ime za ovaj model automobila? − Tražili smo ime koje odražava performanse i snagu automobila, ali i naše hrvatsko porijeklo. Ime je prikladno jer neverom lokalno stanovništvo naziva neoče-

kivanu i moćnu mediteransku oluju, koja juri otvorenim morem na obali Hrvatske. Osim te poveznice, u tom automobilu nalazi se jedan izvorno hrvatski detalj. Naša kompanija vodi se filozofijom učinkovitog dizajna i inženjerstva u svakoj fazi, a ta je filozofija prikazana u elegantnom dizajnu Nevere. Primjenjuje se na svaki pojedini detalj, uključujući i zaštitnu značajku − oblik kravate koji inspirira dizajn bokova automobila.  Kad će početi isporuka ovog modela automobila? − Nakon višegodišnjeg procesa razvoja, virtualnog i stvarnog testiranja i homologacije, isporuka Nevere kupcima trebala bi započeti kasnije ove godine. Broj ovih automobila ograničen je na samo 150 jedinica, a dostupni su na ključnim svjetskim tržištima putem naše globalne mreže prodajnih partnera. Početkom ove godine u Šangaju je jedan od prodajnih zastupnika Rimac Automobila, Kingsway Group, otvorio prvi prodajni salon u kojem kupci mogu razgledati Neveru te naručiti i prilagoditi svojim željama vlastiti primjerak. S obzirom na široku mrežu naših prodajnih predstavnika diljem svijeta, očekujemo otvaranje još ovakvih salona u narednim godinama, i to u nekima od najvećih svjetskih metropola: Los Angelesu, New Yorku, Miamiju, Londonu, Tokiju, Dubaiju, Singapuru i drugdje.  Vaša kompanija Rimac Automobili bavi se proizvodnjom električnih supersportskih automobila i tehnologije, no sestrinsko poduzeće − Greyp Bikes, čiji ste također izvršni direktor − bavi se proizvodnjom pametnih električnih brdskih bicikala. − Greyp Bikes tim od osamdesetak ljudi dizajnira, konstruira i proizvodi vrhunske električne bicikle s naprednom tehnologijom i performansama, nudeći jedinstven spoj vrhunskih dijelova bicikla s umjetnom inteligencijom, prikupljanjem podataka i proširenom stvarnošću. Kako Rimac Automobili i Greyp Bikes zajedno imaju više od 1000 zaposlenika, s uredima i proizvodnim pogonima na šest lokacija u Hrvatskoj te nekoliko u inozemstvu, imamo veliku potrebu za okupljanjem svih ureda i proizvodnih pogona na jedinstvenoj lokaciji.  Zato se gradi novi kompleks Rimac Automobila... − Kampus koji se gradi bit će baza za istraživanje, razvoj i proizvodnju, a omogu-

ćit će kompaniji da izraste od proizvodnje prototipa i projekata u manjim serijama do velikoserijske proizvodnje električnih pogonskih sklopova visokih performansi i baterijskih sustava za brojne globalne automobilske kompanije. Nova lokacija utemeljena je na ideji stvaranja najboljega mogućeg radnog okruženja za zaposlenike iz cijelog svijeta. Nalazi se samo nekoliko kilometara od našeg sadašnjeg sjedišta. Na zemljištu od 200.000 kvadratnih metara izgrađena će površina dosegnuti oko 100.000 kvadratnih metara, a završetak izgradnje planira se za 2023. godinu.  Često naglašavate svoju želju da novo sjedište kompanije utjelovljuje ne samo karakter brenda nego i karakter zaposlenika... − Izgled i dojam koji ostavlja novi kompleks rezultat su dugotrajnog promišlja-

nja. Prije samo 10 godina, od jednog čovjeka u garaži, Rimac Automobili narasli su na oko 1000 zaposlenika. Ušli smo u strateška partnerstva s Porscheom, Hyundai Motor Grupom i drugim značajnim partnerima, surađujemo s najvećim imenima automobilske industrije. No ono čemu smo ostali posvećeni jest razvoj našeg poslovanja u Hrvatskoj. Ponosni smo što smo ostali ovdje i što će ova nova lokacija postati naš dugoročni dom. Brzim rastom suočavali smo se i s problemima s prostorom, koje smo krpali mnogobrojnim improvizacijama pa smo tako završili u više od deset zgrada u šest gradova u Hrvatskoj. Radno okruženje i suradnja između timova iznimno nam je važna pa smo stoga odlučili napraviti veliki korak i izgraditi naš dugoročni dom − Rimac Kampus.

01 Rimac Kampus, koji se planira izgraditi 2023., bit će tehnološki centar na periferiji Zagreba za 2500 zaposlenika Rimac Campus, which is expected to be completed by 2023, will be a technology centre on the outskirts of Zagreb employing 2500 people 02 Rimac Kampus sadržavat će proizvodni pogon za automobile i tehnologiju, razvojni i administrativni centar, ali i dodatne sadržaje poput sportskog centra, dječjeg vrtića, restorana, muzeja, testne staze i ostaloga Rimac Campus will be a car and technology production plant, a research and development, and administrative centre, and will also feature additional facilities, such as a sports centre, a kindergarten, a restaurant, a museum, a test track and much more 01

Želja nam je stvoriti prostor koji najbolje odražava naš brend i naše ambicije u suradnji s vodećim svjetskim arhitektima. Želimo stvoriti kampus koji se uklapa u prirodne ljepote Hrvatske, a istodobno objedinjuje svaki aspekt Rimac Automobila. Glavni prioritet projekta jest stvoriti najbolje moguće radno okruženje za naše zaposlenike te omogućiti posjetiteljima i široj javnosti da uživaju u prostoru i druže se sa zaposlenicima Rimac Automobila. Kampus će sadržavati i poneke neočekivane elemente poput skloništa za životinje, frizera i uzgoja vlastite hrane. Nismo nikad bili konvencionalni pa će i kampus odražavati naš pristup, koji je drugačiji od većine. Kampus je naša odskočna daska za planirani rast u sljedećem desetljeću i nakon toga jer nas ojačava kao proizvođača hiperautomobila i Tier 1 dobavljača komponenti elektropogona i sustava vozila za velike proizvođače automobila.  Za dizajn kampusa angažirali ste dizajnersku tvrtku 3LHD, poznatu i izvan hrvatskih granica. Kako protječe vaša međusobna suradnja? − Nakon održanog internacionalnog natječaja na kojemu je sudjelovalo osam arhitektonskih ureda iz cijelog svijeta, po objektivnim kriterijima ocjenjivačkog tima koji se sastojao od članova Rimac Automobila ali i savjetnika, odlučeno je kako pobjeđuje 3LHD, poznati hrvatski arhitektonski ured. 3LHD tim našao je najbolji način kako utjeloviti sve vrijednosti Rimac Automobila u dizajnu nove lokacije. Prostori su dizajnirani kako bi bili prijateljski, otvoreni i topli, s dodanim elementima zabave. Istodobno, s obzirom

12 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 2/2021

na visoku tehnologiju koja nastaje u našim pogonima, bit će moderni, osvijetljeni i nadahnuti prirodnim okruženjem. Rimac Kampus bit će jedan od najvećih i jedinstvenih tehnoloških i proizvodnih kampusa u Europi. Dugoročno će na kampusu raditi 2500 zaposlenika, a ondje će se također okupljati brojni stručnjaci iz autoindustrije, kao i ostali posjetitelji Rimac Automobila, partneri i klijenti iz industrije, kupci automobila ili posjetitelji muzeja i tvornice. Osim toga, za razliku od većine sličnih lokacija u automobilskoj industriji, gdje su postavljene visoke ograde i razina tajnosti, Rimac Kampus bit će otvoren za javnost i interakciju između posjetitelja, gostiju, znatiželjnika i zaposlenika. Interakcija je poželjna i dobrodošla.  U kojem će smjeru ići vaš daljnji poslovni razvoj? − Planiramo nastavak brzog rasta i razvoja u dva smjera: dizajn, razvoj i proizvodnja automobila visokih performansi te, s druge strane, tehnologije za naše klijente u automobilskoj industriji. Dok će proizvodnja automobila uvijek ostati u ograničenim serijama do 50 jedinica godišnje, proizvodnja električnih pogonskih sklopova visokih performansi i baterijskih sustava za brojne globalne automobilske kompanije bit će u velikim serijama. Osim toga, radi se i na projektima nove mobilnosti.  Znači li to i još češća putovanja? Kamo najviše putujete? − Puno naših zaposlenika često zbog posla putuje u razne destinacije gdje se nalaze ostali uredi, koristeći i Croatia Airlines, ali i naši klijenti i partneri. Neke od

najčešćih destinacija uključuju Njemačku, Koreju, Veliku Britaniju, Kinu, Italiju... I ja jako puno putujem, ali kada se putuje poslovno, teško je doživjeti odredište jer obično vidim samo zračnu luku i sobe za sastanke. Jedna od rijetkih prilika kada smo ostali nekoliko dana dulje da vidimo i lokaciju bilo je putovanje u Urugvaj kad smo sudjelovali na utrci Formule E. Oduševili su me Punta del Este i okolica.  Koje su vam zemlje, gradovi i ljudi u zemljama koje ste posjetili ostali u najljepšem sjećanju i po čemu? − Jako volim cijelu Europu, a ne preferiram putovanja u Aziju ili Ameriku. Mislim da imamo veliku sreću što živimo u tako prelijepoj zemlji i dok ne vidim sve ovdje, nemam neku veliku potrebu ići daleko na odmor. Moja supruga Katarina i ja zajedno smo već sedam godina i nikad nismo putovali izvan Hrvatske a da nije to nije bilo poslovno putovanje. Za mene je i dalje Hrvatska najljepša zemlja. Svoj godišnji odmor uvijek provodim na hrvatskoj obali ili u rodnom Livnu.  Koja biste mjesta u Hrvatskoj sugerirali svojim poslovnim partnerima da posjete ako bi vas pitali za savjet? − Gostima uvijek preporučujemo rodno mjesto Nikole Tesle, Smiljan, neizostavne Plitvice te grad Split, otoke Hvar i Vis... Sugeriram im da će najbolje doživjeti Hrvatsku jednotjednim jedrenjem našom obalom i otocima. Partnerima i klijentima koji posjećuju Rimac Automobile uvijek nastojimo pružiti nezaboravno iskustvo boravka u našoj zemlji. Ako su samo kratko ovdje, pokažemo im Zagreb i dinamičnu gradsku

scenu. Ako imaju više vremena, organiziramo posjet nekom od naših nacionalnih parkova, rodnome mjestu Nikole Tesle ili preporučimo neka mjesta u Istri, na Kvarneru i u Dalmaciji. Nedavno smo u posjet pozvali poznate svjetske automobilske i tehnološke novinare u sklopu predstavljanja Nevere te smo ih ugostili u Boškincu na otoku Pagu, s aktivnostima na cestama Zadarske i Ličko−senjske županije te u zadarskoj zračnoj luci. Osim automobilom bili su oduševljeni ljepotama i okusima otoka Paga, a posebno i pogledom na Velebit s jedne strane te na otoke zadarskog arhipelaga s druge strane. Ovu destinaciju odabrali smo i radi veze s imenom automobila − neke od najimpresivnijih nevera viđaju se upravo u ovome dijelu Jadrana. Samo nekoliko dana nakon tog događaja, brojne kupce i partnere ugostili smo u Dubrovačkim Vrtovima Sunca, nastavljajući aktivnosti na cestama Dubrovačko−neretvanske županije. Većini je Dubrovnik bio otprije poznat, no ovo je bila jedinstvena prilika za vožnje Neverom po nekima od najljepših cesta uz more. Naši automobili i hrvatska obala jako se dobro slažu. Vjerujem kako ovim aktivnostima pridonosimo tome da Hrvatska u svijetu bude poznata ne samo po prekrasnoj obali nego i po najbržim električnim automobilima. 

ate Rimac is a young Croatian entrepreneur who’s outgrown his boyhood dream in just ten years and turned it into reality. And not just any kind of reality! In this short time, his

company has transformed into a worldrenowned brand from humble beginnings in his garage. When he founded his company, Rimac Automobili, in 2009, Mate Rimac was only 21 years old. He converted his first car, BMW E30, which he used for drag races and drifting, into an electric one, which then broke five FIA and Guinness World Records for acceleration. His vision was to create a 21st century sports car and prove the potential of electric propulsion in creating fun, fast and exciting electric cars. Today, Rimac Automobili, headquartered on the outskirts of Zagreb, employs a thousand people, develops and manufactures key electrification systems for many global automotive companies, while raising the bar of highperformance vehicles with the company’s own electric hypercars. Now, the company is one of the automotive industry’s rising stars, especially as the world transitions to an increasingly electric future. In just ten years, Rimac Automobili has grown from a garage project to a global company working with some of the most prominent names in the automotive industry. Rimac Automobili’s shareholders and strategic partners are Porsche and Hyundai-Kia, and the company also produces technology for other partners, such as Aston Martin, Koenigsegg Automotive, Pininfarina, Cupra and others.  You’ve recently presented a production version of your second-generation Rimac Nevera supercar. All the major components of Nevera have been designed, developed and manufactured at different locations of Rimac

Automobili in Croatia. Can you tell us a bit more about this great new project of yours? − It’s a car that’s been developed by the Rimac team from scratch: everything’s been specially designed, engineered and made for Nevera. It features state-of-theart technology that enables Nevera’s high performance, which have never been seen before in a production car. It accelerates to 100 km/h in less than two seconds, crosses a quarter mile in 8.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 412 km/h. Thanks to this, Nevera raises the bar in the hypercar niche. Nevera’s battery capacity of 120 kWh and four-wheel drive provide it with 1914 horsepower and 2360 Nm of torque, while its all-wheel torque vectoring system allows drivers to calibrate the Nevera to their preferred driving style. Nevera also features the most advanced carbon fibre monocoque in the industry, on-track autonomous driving features and much more. The car has been developed and tested intensively for four years now, and given that Nevera will soon be a globally homologated car, owners will be able to register and drive it anywhere in the world.  Nevera is an interesting choice of name for a car model. How did you choose it? − We were looking for a name that reflects the car’s performance and power, as well as its Croatian origin. The name’s appropriate because nevera is what locals call an unexpected and powerful Mediterranean storm lashing the open sea along the coast of Croatia. Besides this connection, Nevera features one more originally Croatian detail. Our company is guided by the philosophy of lean design and engineering at every stage, and this is reflected in Nevera’s elegant design. This philosophy’s applied to every single detail, including its hallmark feature − the shape of the cravat (translator’s note: the cravat is a neckband, the forerunner of the modern necktie, originating from a style worn by members of a Croatian military unit in the 17th century) which inspired the design on the sideskirt of the car.  When will delivery of Nevera start? − After years of development, virtual and physical testing, and homologation, the delivery of Nevera to customers is expected to begin later this year. These cars will be manufactured in a limited series of 150, and are available in key

global markets through our global network of sales partners. Earlier this year in Shanghai, our partners in China, Kingsway Group, opened the first showroom where customers can order their Nevera and choose their preferred customization. Given the wide network of our dealer partners around the world, we’re expecting more showrooms of this kind to open in the coming years in some of the world’s biggest cities, such as Los Angeles, New York, Miami, London, Tokyo, Dubai, Singapore and elsewhere.  Your company, Rimac Automobili, manufactures electric super sports cars and technology. Its sister company, Greyp Bikes, which you’re also the CEO of, manufactures smart e-mountain bikes. − Greyp Bikes team of about eighty people designs, constructs and manufactures state-of-the-art electric bikes featuring advanced technology and performances, a unique blend of high-end bike parts with artificial intelligence, data collection and augmented reality. Given that Rimac Automobili and Greyp Bikes together have more than 1000 employees, with offices and production facilities at six locations in Croatia and several abroad, we had the need to bring all our offices and production facilities in a single location. This is why a new Rimac Automobili complex is being built.

− The campus will be a research and development, and production headquarters, and will enable the company to grow from the production of prototypes and projects in small series to large-scale production of high-performance electric powertrains and battery systems for many global automotive companies. The new site, designed around the idea of providing the best possible working environment for our international workforce, it’s located only a couple of kilometres from Rimac’s current home and occupies a site of 200,000 m² while the built area will be 100,000 m². It is expected to be completed by 2023.  You often stress your desire for the new headquarters of the company to embody not only the character of the brand, but also the character of your employees. − Considerable thought has gone into the new complex’s look and feel. I’ve been personally involved to ensure that our new home embodies not just the brand’s character, but also that of our employees. As such, the spaces have been refined to be friendly, open and warm, with more than a hint of fun. At the same time, it will be contemporary, light-filled and take inspiration from its natural surroundings. Just 10 years ago this company was only me in a garage, working on electric performance vehicles and components. Since then, we have grown to around 1,000

employees, formed strategic partnerships with Porsche, Hyundai Motor Group and others, and are working with the biggest names in the automotive industry. But, one thing that we have always committed to is developing our business within Croatia; we’re proud to be here and with this new location, it will be our long-term home. We have now reached a point where we need to build our long-term home in Croatia, and that’s exactly what the Rimac Campus is. Having outgrown our existing facilities, we’re now creating a space that best reflects our brand and our ambitions, working with world-leading architects to build a campus that sits comfortably within the natural beauty of Croatia while also bringing every aspect of Rimac into one place. The top priority of the project was to create the best possible working environment for our employees and to allow visitors and the public to enjoy the space and mix with Rimac employees. The campus is our springboard to the growth plans we have over the next decade and beyond, strengthening us as niche hypercar maker, a leading Tier 1 supplier of electric performance technology to the world’s largest automotive manufacturers and an early mover in the worlds of autonomy and mobility.  You hired 3LHD architects, an architecture and urban planning studio well-known even beyond the borders of Croatia, to design the campus. How is your collaboration going? − Once we closed the international tender which eight architecture studios from all over the world participated in, we set up an evaluation team consisting of members of Rimac Automobili and consultants that made a decision based on a set of objective criteria. The winner of the tender was 3LHD, a famous Croatian architecture and urban planning studio. The 3LHD team has found the best way to embody all the values of Rimac Automobili in the design of our new campus. The campus spaces are designed to be friendly, open and warm, and also feature elements of entertainment. At the same time, given the high technology that is manufactured in our production plants, they’ll be modern, welllit and inspired by the natural environment. Rimac Campus will be one of the largest and most unique technology and production campuses in Europe. In the long run, the campus will be employing 2500

people, and will also be a place that brings together a number of experts from the automotive industry, as well as other visitors to Rimac Automobili, industry partners and clients, car buyers, and museum and factory visitors. In addition, unlike most similar locations in the automotive industry where high fences are set up and where production is shrouded in secrecy, Rimac Campus will be open to the public and to interaction between visitors, guests, those who’re curious and employees. Interaction is desirable and welcome.  Which direction are you taking in your future business development? − We plan to continue growing rapidly and developing in two directions. We’re planning to continue designing, developing and producing high-performance cars on the one hand, and on the other, technologies for our customers in the automotive industry. While we’re planning to keep our car production segment of business operations limited to series of up to 50 cars per year, we’re planning to increase our production of high-performance electric powertrains and battery systems for many global car companies to large-scale production. In addition, we’re also working on new mobility projects.  Does that include even more frequent travels? Where do you travel the most? − Many of our employees often travel to various destinations where our other offices, our clients and partners are located, often flying with Croatia Airlines. Some of the most travelled-to destinations include Germany, Korea, Great Britain, China and Italy. I also travel a lot, but when traveling for business, I don’t get to experience the destination because I usually only see the airport and meeting rooms. One of the rare occasions when we did stay a few days longer to see the location was a trip to Uruguay when we participated in the Punta del Este ePrix. Its surroundings are stunning.  Which countries, cities and people in the countries you’ve visited so far remain in your fondest memories, and what by? − I really like the whole of Europe, and I’m not into travelling to Asia or America. I think we’re very fortunate to live in such a beautiful country, and until I see everything here, I don’t have a need to go on holiday someplace far. My wife Katarina and I have

been together for seven years, and we’ve never travelled outside of Croatia without it being a business trip. For me, Croatia is still the most beautiful country. I always spend my holiday on the Croatian coast or in my hometown of Livno.  Which places in Croatia would you recommend your business partners to visit if they asked you for a recommendation? − We always recommend the birthplace of Nikola Tesla, the village of Smiljan, the must-see Plitvice Lakes, the city of Split, the islands of Hvar and Vis. The best way to experience Croatia is to go on a week-long sailing tour along our coast and islands, that’s what I recommend. We always strive to make sure that our partners and clients visiting Rimac Automobili have an unforgettable experience while in our country. If their visit is short, we show them Zagreb and its dynamic urban scene. If they have more time on their hands, we organise a visit to one of our national parks, the birthplace of Nikola Tesla or we recommend some places in Istria, the Kvarner Gulf and Dalmatia. We’ve recently invited world-famous automotive and technology journalists to our presentation of Nevera, and hosted them in the Boškinac Hotel, Restaurant and Winery on the Island of Pag, with activities on the roads of the Zadar and the Lika-Senj County, and at Zadar Airport. They were impressed not only with Nevera, but also with the attractions and tastes of the Island of Pag, particularly with the view of Velebit Mountain on the one hand, and the islands of the Zadar archipelago on the other. We chose this destination because of its connection with the name of the car itself − some of the most impressive nevera storms are experienced in this part of the Adriatic. Only a few days after that event, we hosted a number of customers and partners in the Sun Gardens resort in Dubrovnik, continuing with activities on the roads of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Some of our guests have already heard about Dubrovnik, but this was an exciting opportunity for them to drive Nevera on some of the most beautiful roads along the coast. Our cars and the Croatian coast go hand in hand really well. I believe that, with these activities, we’re contributing to making Croatia known in the world not only for its beautiful coast, but also for the fastest electric cars. 

utori stalnog postava Muzeja čokolade Zagreb ujedno su i njegovi osnivači i vlasnici, bračni par Ružica Božić Cerovac i Domagoj I. Cerovac, koji su osmislili koncept postava, dok je za dizajn i scenografske elemente odgovorna dizajnerica Željka Zrnić. Zaštitni znak Muzeja čokolade Zagreb degustacijska je kutijica koju posjetitelji dobivaju umjesto klasičnih ulaznica. U njoj se

nalazi zrno kakaovca, četiri vrste krute čokolade te žličica za kušanje četiriju vrsta tekuće čokolade. Muzeji prilagođeni potrebama suvremenog čovjeka prestali su biti isključivo čuvaonice vrijednih baštinskih artefakata. Transformirali su se u mjesta edukacije koja jednaku pažnju posvećuju dječjoj pedagogiji kao i andragogiji te kvalitetnoj obiteljskoj zabavi praćenoj interaktivnim

sadržajima. U takvim muzejima posjetitelji su aktivni konzumenti sadržaja, a u slučaju Muzeja čokolade Zagreb posjetitelji tijekom obilaska postava postaju i aktivni konzumenti čokolade. Kretanje kroz muzej šetnja je kroz neočekivano dugačku i bogatu povijest omiljene slastice. Scenografija svake prostorne jedinice pomno je promišljena kako bi stvorila jedinstvenu atmosferu i prenijela duh određene vremenske epohe važne u povijesnom razvoju čokolade. U službi kreiranja tog jedinstvenog osjećaja jesu boje, materijali, rasvjeta, mirisi, okusi kao i glazbena podloga te najvažnije − muzejski eksponati, glavni nositelji priče u postavu. Povijesna šetnja Muzejom čokolade Zagreb počinje uvidom u svijet plemena Maja i Asteka, pa i još ranijih Olmeca, koji su živjeli na području Srednje i Južne Amerike i koji su zabilježeni kao prvi konzumenti zrna kakaovca od kojeg su radili napitke rezervirane za plemensku elitu. Nakon drevnih plemena posjetitelj se susreće s konkvistadorskim osvajanjima Novog svijeta, koja su rezultirala donošenjem zrna kakaovca i recepata za njegovu

pripremu u Španjolsku početkom 16. stoljeća. Ritual ispijanja kakaa u 17. stoljeću proširio se u Francusku, Italiju, Englesku i druge europske zemlje u kojima se proizvodio zavidno raskošan porculan namijenjen ispijanju ovog elitnog napitka. Mancerine, chocolatièrei, cup moustache samo su neki od vrijednih eksponata koji daju uvid u čokoladne dvorske rituale. Nakon osvještavanja gorčine zrna kakaa, čokoladnog likera i tamne čokolade muzej nudi prostor za opušteno istraživanje uz pomoć svih osjetila koje je nužno razbuditi kako bi se riješile interaktivne pitalice i uživalo u tekućim čokoladama. Čokoladno putovanje nastavlja se u razdoblju prve industrijske revolucije, koje pršti informacijama o pionirima čokolatijerstva, njihovim receptima, otkrićima, ali i marketingu. Iz razdoblja industrijske revolucije smjer kretanja vodi u razdoblje prvih velikih tvornica. Hrvatske tvornice Kraš, Zvečevo i Kandit zastupljene su nizom vintage eksponata koje sve domaće posjetitelje podsjećaju na djetinjstvo i mladost, a često i na bake koje su brižno čuvale limene ambalaže čokoladnih proizvoda. U ovom dijelu razgledavanja

posjetitelj iz svoje degustacijske kutijice kuša mliječnu, bijelu te ruby čokoladu. Postav se zaključuje stavljanjem naglaska na društveni aspekt čokolade kao poklona. Pokretači i vlasnici muzeja u sklopu muzeja otvorili su i jedinstvenu muzejsku trgovinu u kojoj se mogu kupiti čokoladni proizvodi lokalnih čokolatijera od kojih neki izrađuju i vrlo cijenjene bean to bar čokolade. Muzej čokolade Zagreb već je prepoznat kao svojevrsni čokoladni hub, centralno mjesto koje odgovara na sva pitanja o čokoladi, nudeći pritom i niz radionica i vrlo raznovrsnog sadržaja koji nema konkurenciju u našoj metropoli. 

They’ve transformed into places of education that pay much attention to teaching and informing both children and adults alike, while offering quality family entertainment accompanied by interactive material. In such museums, visitors are active consumers of the exhibits. In the case of the Chocolate Museum Zagreb, visitors become active consumers of chocolate during their tour of the exhibition. Touring the museum is like taking a walk through the unexpectedly long and rich history of your favourite sweet. The setup of

each display section has been meticulously designed to create a unique atmosphere that conveys the spirit of a particular epoch important in the history of chocolate. The elements that help to create this unique atmosphere include colours, materials, lighting, scents, flavours, background music and, most importantly, the museum exhibits, the main communicators of the story of chocolate. A historical walk through the Chocolate Museum Zagreb starts with a look at the world of the Maya, the Aztecs and the earlier Olmecs, who lived in Central and South America, and who’re recorded in history as the first consumers of cocoa beans from which they made beverages reserved for the tribal elite.

After the indigenous peoples of Central and South America, visitors are told about the Conquest of the New World by the conquistadors, who brought the cocoa bean and recipes back to Spain in the early 16th century. In the 17th century, the cocoa drinking ritual spread to France, Italy, England and other European countries, where enviably extravagant china was manufactured for this beverage intended for the elite. The mancerine, chocolatièrei and moustache cup are just some of the valuable exhibits that give you insight into chocolate drinking rituals in court circles. Once you’ve become aware of the bitterness of the cocoa bean, chocolate liqueur and dark chocolate, you’re invited to continue your relaxed exploration of choco-

late with all your senses that need to be awakened so that you can solve interactive puzzles and questions, and enjoy liquid chocolates. The chocolate journey continues into the period of the first Industrial Revolution, which offers an abundance of information about the pioneers of chocolate making, their recipes, discoveries and marketing. The Industrial Revolution is followed by the time when the first big factories were built. The Croatian chocolate factories of Kraš, Zvečevo and Kandit are represented by a series of vintage exhibits reminding all visitors from Croatia not only of their childhoods, but also of their grandmothers who’d always make sure to keep the tin packaging of chocolate products. In this part of the tour, visitors are invited to taste milk, white and ruby chocolate from their tasting box. The tour of the museum ends with an emphasis placed on the social aspect of chocolate as a gift. The founders and owners of the Chocolate Museum Zagreb opened a unique museum shop where you can buy chocolate products made by local chocolatiers, some of whom also manufacture highly valued bean-to-bar chocolates. The Chocolate Museum Zagreb has already been recognised as a chocolate hub of sorts, a central place that answers all your questions about chocolate, which offers a series of workshops and a wide variety of events and experiences which are one-of-a-kind in Zagreb. 

Postira na otoku Braču jedno su od rijetkih mjesta gdje se nepravilnosti, kontrasti, susreti starog i novog pretvaraju u sklad. Sklad zvuka i tišine, bure i romantičnog zalaska sunca, valova i nježnih oblutaka, težačkog rada i dalmatinske pjesme.

Postira on the island of Brač is one of few places where irregularities, contrasts, encounters of the old and the new transform into harmony. A harmony of sound and silence, biting north-easterly winds and romantic sunsets, waves and gentle pebbles, hard work and Dalmatian songs. Here, people still nurture the traditional Dalmatian way of life, it’s a place where you’ll experience a close connection with the locals, and so you’ll want to return. Return to a place that indulges all your senses...

vije su priče vezane uz nastanak imena mjesta. Jedna je ona iz službenih knjiga i spisa gdje se Postira spominju još davne 1347. godine pod imenom Postirna (od lat. pastura = pašnjak), dok se druga, koja je nastala usmenom predajom, dovodi u vezu sa ženama iz susjednog mjesta Dol koje su u Postira dolazile prati robu i prostirati je. Smještena na sjevernoj strani otoka Brača, Postira su nastala u 16. stoljeću, a prvi stanovnici bili su Doljani i Poljičani koji su se iselili iz svojih mjesta. Brojne kamene kuće u luci svjedoče o nekadašnjim bračkim veleposjednicima; među njima se ističe kaštel obitelji Lazanić, u kojemu se rodio hrvatski pjesnik Vladi-

mir Nazor (1876. − 1949.). Župna crkva građena sredinom 16. stoljeća nosi ime sv. Ivana Krstitelja, dok su podno nje pronađeni ostaci ranokršćanske bazilike iz 6. stoljeća. I drugi arheološki lokaliteti svjedoče o dugoj povijesti Postira: Mirje na brdu Mali brig, na kojemu je pronađen ranokršćanski samostanski sklop, te Lovrečina, ujedno i jedna od najljepših pješčanih uvala, gdje se nalazi ranokršćanska crkva iz 5./6. stoljeća. Prošećete li starim dijelom mjesta, činit će vam se kao da ste se vratili u prošlost. Privezane barke odmaraju oko malog mosta s kojeg su brojne obitelji ispraćale svoje pomorce, ali i željno iščekivale njihov povratak. Takozvane kogulane

ulice popločane kamenim oblucima odaju počast lokalnim majstorima, časteći ih upravo time što vode do najsvetijeg mjesta − župne crkve. Plesalo se tu, na Pjaci, pjevalo i zagledalo. Zatvorene škure gospodskih kuća i danas čuvaju tajne o ljubavnim susretima pri dolasku po vodu na česmu, a s kamenih klupa odjekuju igre, smijeh, svađe i ćakule. Ovaj mali dalmatinski trg posebno zasjaji tijekom fjere i drugih blagdana. Na putu prema moru poseban dojam ostavljaju stari popločani krovovi, ne samo zbog tradicionalnog načina gradnje nego i zbog nadnaravnih bića za koja se vjeruje

da su živjela u šufitima. Macići, vukodlaci, marinorgoti, ali i vile zagolicat će vam maštu, posebno ako priče o njima čujete od lokalnih pripovjedača. Postira su lijepa i zanimljiva u svako doba godine na svoj način. Njezini stanovnici bave se poljoprivredom, ribarstvom, turizmom, kamenarstvom, stoga ćete u svakom razdoblju moći iz prve ruke vidjeti tradiciju koja živi, koja se živi. Brojna su događanja, posebno u ljetnim mjesecima, no istaknut ćemo ona jedinstvena, poput Male noćne regate (regate koja se u noćnim satima odvija u samoj luci uz taktove Mozartove Male noćne muzike), Postira

Između svih ovih jedinstvenih događanja posebno se ističe Svjetsko prvenstvo u branju maslina, kakvo se ne održava nigdje drugdje na svijetu.

tradicionalno pokrivene kamenim pločama, kao i brojne špilje od zrnatog kamena hrapoćuše koje su nekada bile ljudske nastambe, a danas skloništa za stoku, spremnici za ogrjevna drva, stanište golubova, sova i vivera. Viver je mitsko biće koje se, prema pričama stanovnika Dola, skriva u mjesnim špiljama. Biće je to koje možete pronaći jedino u Dolu, a ako imate sreće, čak čuti njegovo hukanje. Dol je poznat i po kolaču hrapoćuši. Ova svadbena torta najslavniji je dolski proizvod, a ima i svoju manifestaciju − Noć hrapoćuše. Umijeće njezine tradicijske pripreme zaštićeno je kao nematerijalno kulturno dobro Republike Hrvatske, a o njoj su snimani i dokumentarci. Izrazito slatka torta svojom hrapavom površinom nalikuje na kamen hrapoćušu pa je po njemu dobila ime. Bogata jajima, šećerom, orasima s aromom agruma nastala je spajanjem proizvoda tipičnih za ovo selo. Dol se prvi put u dokumentima spominje 1345. godine, no brojni važni arheološki spomenici svjedoče o još ranijem postojanju. Crkvica sv. Mihovila datira s početka

10. stoljeća, kao i ona sv. Barbare. Crkvica sv. Petra iz 11. stoljeća čuva najstarije zvono na otoku Braču − iz 14. stoljeća, dok je crkvica sv. Vida iz 13. stoljeća. Do njih se može doći uređenim pješačkim stazama. Župna crkva Očišćenja Blažene Djevice Marije građena je od 1862. do 1887. te čuva nekoliko vrijednih križeva, od kojih je najveći Dolski Isukrst, koji predstavlja Isusovo tijelo u prirodnoj veličini. Velika su vrijednost i izvorni pučki napjevi koje i danas možete čuti u izvedbi crkvenih pučkih pjevača, koji itekako pridonose očuvanju ove nematerijalne kulturne baštine. Posjetite Postira i Dol i uživajte u istinskim ljepotama malog dalmatinskog mjesta. 

here are two stories about the origin of the name Postira. One is from official documents and records where Postira was first mentioned as far back as 1347 under the name Postirna (from the Latin noun pastura = pasture). The other is from oral tradition which says that women from the neighbouring village of Dol used

to come to Postira to wash and dry their laundry (the Croatian verb for to hang the laundry to dry is prostirati). Located on the north side of the Island of Brač, Postira dates from the 16th century, and its first inhabitants were people who settled there from Dol and Poljica. The many stone houses in its port testify to the once landowners of Brač, from amongst which the manor house of the Lazanić family stands out, where the Croatian poet Vladimir Nazor (1876-1949) was born. Built in the middle of the 16th century, the parish church is named after St. John the Baptist, below which lie the remains of an early Christian basilica from the 6th century. Other archaeological sites also testify to the long history of Postira. Mirje on the Mali Brig hill, for instance, where an early Christian monastery complex was excavated, and Lovrečina − which is also

one of the most beautiful sandy bays on Brač − where an early Christian church from 5th or 6th century was found. Should you walk through the old part of Postira, it’ll feel as if you travelled back in time. You’ll see moored boats resting around a small bridge, a spot where many families saw their seafaring family members off, but also a place where their return was eagerly awaited. Postira’s cobblestone streets called kogulane pay homage to local craftsmen, celebrating them by having their cobblestone streets lead to the holiest of all places − the parish church. On the square outside the church called Piazza, there used to be a lot of dancing, singing and flirting. The closed shutters called škure of the surrounding manor houses still keep many secrets − encounters of lovers when they’d come to the fountain to fetch water. People playing games, laughing, quarrelling and chattering echo from the stone benches. This tiny Dalmatian square shines most brightly on feast days and other holidays. On your way to the coast, Postira’s old tiled roofs are bound

to leave a strong impression on you not only because they’re a beautiful display of a traditional construction method, but also because, according to local lore, supernatural beings live in the attics. Werewolves, fairies and other supernatural beings from local lore (such as macići and marinorgoti) will surely fire your imagination, particularly if the stories you hear about them are told by local storytellers. Postira is a beautiful and interesting place at any time of the year. The people of Postira are farmers, fishermen, stonemasons or are in the tourism sector, so whichever time of the year you visit Postira, you’ll see traditions that live, traditions that are lived − first-hand. Many events are held in Postira, particularly in the summer months. These are some of the more unique ones that should be singled out: A Little Night Regatta (a regatta that takes place in the port at night to the sounds of Mozart’s A Little Night Music), the Postira Seaside Film Festival, Postira’s Singers (did you know that in Postira almost each resident knows how to sing?) and the Brač

Orienteering Championship (the Island of Brač is the first island in the Adriatic to host a competition in orienteering, and Postira the first place on an Adriatic island for which an orienteering map was made). From amongst all these, the globally unique World Olive Picking Championship stands out. Since 2017, the championship has hosted national teams from the four corners of the world, has won numerous national awards, and won the 2019 Best Creative Experience Award given yearly by the Creative Tourism Network, which is confirmation of the event’s world-class quality. The small village of Dol, which is today home to about one hundred residents, is two kilometres south of Postira. This oasis of peace and quiet is an unavoidable stop for many tourists, including hiking and cycling enthusiasts, given that Dol can be reached via well-maintained paths and trails from various directions. At the very entrance to the village, you’ll be left breathless by its traditional houses covered with

stone slabs and by the countless caves made of grainy stone called hrapoćuša. These were once human dwellings and are today livestock shelters, firewood storage space or habitats for pigeons, owls and viveri. These are mythical creatures that, according to local lore, hide in local caves. You can come across one only in Dol and if you’re lucky enough you can even hear it roar. Dol is also famous for its rustic and crunchy hrapoćuša cake. This wedding cake is Dol’s best known product and has its very own festivity − the Night of the Hrapoćuša Cake. The art of its traditional preparation is protected as intangible cultural heritage of the Republic of Croatia, and documentaries have been made about it. Hrapoćuša is an extremely sweet cake whose coarse surface resembles the grainy stone of hrapoćuša, hence the cake’s name. It’s rich in eggs, sugar, walnuts and citrus fruit aromas, all of which are products typical of the village.

Dol was first mentioned in documents in 1345, although many important archaeological finds testify to the existence of an even earlier settlement. The Church of St. Michael and the Church of St. Barbara both date from the beginning of the 10th century. The Church of St. Peter from the 11th century houses the oldest bell on the Island of Brač (a bell from the 14th century), while the Church of St. Vitus is from the 13th century. They can all be reached via well-maintained hiking trails. The parish Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built between 1862 and 1887, and houses several valuable crucifixes, the largest of which is the Dolski Isukrst, which features a life-size representation of the body of Christ. The folk songs native to Dol are of great value. Today, you can hear them performed by folk church singers, who greatly contribute to the preservation of this intangible cultural heritage. To enjoy the authentic attractions of a small Dalmatian town, make sure you visit Postira and Dol. 

ZELENI OTOK PLAVOG JADRANA THE GREEN ISLAND OF THE BLUE ADRIATIC Tekst i fotografije / Text and photos Goran Šafarek

Gotovo ni jedan otok ne može se pohvaliti da ima toliko šume kao Mljet, koji pruža i ostale prirodne vrijednosti poput slanih jezera. Odisejev otok zbog toga je proglašen jednim od naših osam nacionalnih parkova. Hardly any island can boast of having as many forests as Mljet, including other natural attractions such as marine lakes. This is why Odysseus’s Island was declared one of Croatia’s eight national parks, and rightly so.

ogled iz zraka najbolje pokazuje svu ljepotu Mljeta − zeleni šumoviti otok usred modrine Jadranskoga mora. Najviše su pošumljene strme padine brežuljaka, dok je dio otoka kultiviran. Šume su i razlog zbog kojega je njegov sjeverozapadni dio proglašen nacionalnim parkom još 1960. godine. Cvrčci, miris smole i soli nezaboravan su doživljaj Sredozemlja, a Mljet je po tome na istaknutome mjestu. Nacionalni park sa 5375 hektara zauzima trećinu otoka, no i ostatak nudi mnoge vrijednosti. Najčešća vrsta na otoku jest alepski bor, prepoznatljiv po svojoj sivoj gruboj kori i dugačkim iglicama. Osim bora uspijeva i hrast crnika, a u posebnom rezervatu šumske vegetacije Velika dolina očuvan je komadić negdašnje sredozemne prašume, izvorne zajednice crnike s crnim jasenom. To je često neprohodna i gusta džungla, gdje nakon provlačenja ostaju ogrebotine. To nije spriječilo da se u njima nastani velik broj životinja. Među najvećima su kuna bjelica, divlja svinja, zec, muflon, podivljala domaća koza. Pridoš-

lice su mungos i jelen lopatar. Mungos je 1910. unesen da uništi zmije, no s vremenom je počeo napadati i ostale životinje. Na šumu se mozaično nadovezuju polja, kamenjari i pašnjaci kojih na Mljetu nema kao na nekim drugim otocima. Između zelenih brda, u unutrašnjosti otoka stiješnjene su male doline, često s ljupkim plodnim poljima. Većinom su duguljasta i uska jer prate smjer pružanja brda. U njima se stoljećima taložila plodna zemlja, toliko različita od tvrde stijene. Ljudi su stoga u poljima sadili lozu, povrće i ostalo potrebno za život. Bio je to težak život u suhoj zemlji natapanoj znojem. Neka od polja sada osvaja gustiš jer su se negdašnji poljoprivrednici odselili na obalu ili u gradove u potrazi za lakšim životom, ponajprije turizmom. U nekim od kamenih sela danas mnogo manje odjekuje dječji žamor jer ondje većinom žive stariji ljudi, a mnoge su kuće sada već dulje vrijeme zatvorene. U najnižim dijelovima nekih polja, koja mogu biti i u razini mora, umjesto vrtova raste trska. Ovdje se nataložila voda te je

nastala prava mala močvara. Takva mjesta gotovo po cijeloj našoj obali nazivamo blata. Na Mljetu su to blatine kod Sobre, Blata i Prožure. Pjev ptice trstenjaka već izdaleka najavljuje močvarno bilje. Voda je plitka, no puna dubokog mulja. Hodati po njemu stoga je nesigurno za ljude, no za životinje i biljke to je raj. Tu plivaju patke, liske, mlakuše, a uz rubove su žabe i kornjače, dok uokolo lepršaju ugrožene vrste vretenaca. Na samome jugoistočnom kraju otoka velike su pješčane uvale Saplunara i Blace s pješčanim plažama. Oblikovana valovima, okružena gustom makijom i šumom bora, ljeti je plaža popularno ljetovalište, posebice za obitelji s malom djecom koja u pijesku nalaze neizmjernu zabavu. No obala je, kao i većinom na Jadranu, ponajviše kamenita. Unutarnje obale, okrenute prema Pelješcu, blage su, a pučinske su strme, sa strmcima i urušenim špiljama. Jedna je od njih Odisejeva špilja u blizini Babinog polja, a poznata je i mnogim turistima. Legenda kaže da je baš ovdje Odisej, nakon brodoloma na

stijenama otoka Ogigije, sedam godina s tugom i nostalgijom za domom i Penelopom gledao u pučinu, a prelijepa nimfa Kalipso, kći boga Posejdona, još tužnije zaljubljeno gledala u njega. Prvi stanovnici, Iliri, obrađivali su zemlju, a prva naselja osnovali su uz izvore vode. Na uzvišenim mjestima podignuli su gradine, gdje se moglo skloniti i stotinjak ljudi. Mljet su posjećivali i Grci, osvježujući se na izvorima pitke vode na trgovačkim putovanjima prema svojim kolonijama u Korčuli, Visu i Hvaru. U dubokim uvalama nalazili su i mirno sidrište za nevera. Ni Rimljani nisu mogli odoljeti dražima otoka pa su počeli osnivati trajnija naselja. Najstarije od njih jesu Polače, na sjeverozapadnom dijelu otoka. Automobilom se danas doslovce prolazi kroz rimske zidove kroz koje sada vodi cesta, a i sam naziv sela dolazi od antičke palače na čijim je temeljima izraslo selo. Mnogima je najljepši dio otoka onaj na suprotnoj, sjeverozapadnoj strani, gdje se u kopno uvuklo Malo i Veliko jezero. Iako se nazivaju jezera, spojena su uskim pro-

lazom s morem te su slana. To su velike uvale koje zadiru duboko u kopno, nastale potapanjem negdašnjih krških udolina jer je Sredozemno more naraslo krajem ledenog doba. Predivne pješačke staze obilaze jezera, u sjeni borova, cvrkutu ptica i opojnome mirisu borovine. Jezera su mirna i za najvećeg juga, zaštićena od velikih valova što zapljuskuju vanjsku stranu otoka. Njihove su obale razvedene i bujno obrasle krošnjama borova koje se spuštaju do samoga mora, a na nekima od uronjenih grana rastu i dagnje. Dva su jezera povezana uskim kanalom, kroz koji se izmjenjuje morska voda pod utjecajem plime i oseke. Iznad kanala izgrađen je kameni most, tzv. Mali most. Na otočiću Sveta Marija u Velikom jezeru Benediktinci su još u 12. stoljeću podigli divan samostan. Izgrađen od kamena, uklopljen u zeleno-plavi ambijent jezera, stoljećima je bio oaza vjere, ali i znanja. Ako je i pokoji Benediktinac znao zaroniti oko jezera, našao bi na dnu obilje Jakobovih kapica, periski i prstaca te ostalih školjkaša. Još je važnija zajednica buse-

nastog koralja, površine 650 m2 − najveća na Sredozemlju. Koristi se blagodatima morskih struja koje oplakuju lokaciju kod Velikog mosta na ulazu u Veliko jezero. Ti su koralji stanište i mnogim drugim organizmima, a posebice je bogata ribom koja ovdje dolazi na mrijest. No i ostalo je podmorje Mljeta zanimljivo, ponajviše zbog očuvanosti. Obiluje živim svijetom u kojemu samo ronioci mogu uživati. Ispod površine oni susreću mnoge školjke, ribe te bogata staništa jastoga. Posebno su važna i očuvana staništa morske cvjetnice posidonije, gdje se skrivaju, razmnožavaju i odrastaju mnoge vr-

ste, poput puža bačvaša, školjke periske, mnoštva riba itd. Pučinska strana pruža i stjenovitija i dublja staništa, karakteristična za našu obalu Jadrana. Donedavno je na Mljetu živjela sredozemna medvjedica. Ona je u sigurnosti kamenite južne strane otoka nalazila mjesto za život. Nažalost, posljednji primjerci sredozemne medvjedice viđeni su prije dvadesetak godina. Stvarala je probleme ribarima jer im je krala ribu i uništavala mreže. Ipak, danas mnogi priželjkuju njezin povratak, što bi još više obogatilo prirodu Mljeta, zelenog otoka usred plavog Jadrana. 

n aerial view shows best all the beauty of Mljet − a green wooded island surrounded by the blue Adriatic Sea. The steep slopes of Mljet’s hills are where most forests are, while part of the island is cultivated. The island’s forests are also the reason why its north-western part was declared a national park back in 1960. What makes your experience of the Mediterranean be unforgettable are crickets, the smell of conifer resin and salt. Judging by this, Mljet’s place in the Mediterranean is surely a prominent one. The 5375-hectare national park occupies a 02

46 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 2/2021

third of the island, although the rest of Mljet also offers much to see and experience. Recognisable by its grey rough bark and long needles, the Aleppo pine is the most common species of tree on Mljet. Besides the Aleppo pine, Mljet’s also home to holm oak, and in a special reserve of forest vegetation called Velika Dolina (Great Valley in translation), a piece of what had once been the Mediterranean rainforest − a native community of holm oak and black ash trees − has been preserved. Velika Dolina is often an impassable and dense jungle, where you’re left with scratches after passing through it. This, however, didn’t prevent a large number of animals from settling there. The white breasted marten, wild boar, rabbit, mouflon and feral goat are amongst the largest. The mongoose and fallow deer are the newcomers. The former was introduced in 1910 to eradicate snakes, but over time it began to prey on other animals as well. As if in a mosaic, the forest extends into fields, rocky patches and pastures, which Mljet seems to be lacking in compared to other islands in the Adriatic. In the interior of the island, small valleys spotted with charming fertile fields are

wedged between the green hills. Given that they follow the direction of the surrounding hills, they are mostly oblong and narrow. Over the centuries, fertile soil, so different from hard rock, has been deposited in these valleys. This is why people have been growing grapevine, vegetables and other life-sustaining crops in these fields. In this dry land soaked in sweat, life was hard. Some of the fields are now overtaken by thicket as people who once farmed this land have moved to the coast or to towns in search of an easier life, primarily through tourism. Children’s voices resonate much less today in some of the stone villages. This is because mostly older people live there now, with many houses having been locked for a long time now. Reeds rule instead of gardens growing in the lowest parts of some fields, which can be at sea level. Water stagnates here creating real small swamps. Such places are referred to as blato in Croatian (mud in translation) along Croatia’s entire coast. On Mljet, these are the marshes near the villages of Sobra, Blato and Prožura. The Eurasian reed warbler’s song tells you from afar that there’re wetland plants in the vicinity. The water is shallow and the mud is deep, which is why it’s so hazardous to people’s safety, yet a paradise for animals and plants. This is where ducks, coots and common moorhens swim, where frogs and turtles scatter along the edges, and where the endangered species of dragonfly flutter around.

Pješčana plaža u Saplunari The Saplunara sandy beach

The very south-eastern end of Mljet is home to two large sandy bays and beaches, namely Saplunara and Blace. Shaped by the waves, surrounded by dense undergrowth and a pine forest, these sandy beaches are popular summer resorts, particularly for families with small children, who have great fun playing in the sand. Like most of the Adriatic coast, here too the coast is mostly rocky. Mljet’s continent (i.e., Pelješac Peninsula) facing shores are mild, while those facing the open sea are steep featuring cliffs and collapsed caves. One of these is known to many tourists − Odysseus’s Cave near Babino Polje. Legend has it that it was here that − after his ship was wrecked on the rocks of the island of Ogygia − Odysseus spent seven years looking out to sea with sadness and nostalgia for home and Penelope, whilst enchanted and entertained by the beautiful nymph Calypso, who fell in love with Odysseus. Mljet’s first inhabitants, the Illyrians, cultivated the land and built the island’s first settlements next to sources of water. They also built hill forts, where some one hundred people could take shelter. On their maritime trade routes to their colonies on the islands of Korčula, Vis and Hvar, the Greeks also made stopovers on Mljet in need of refreshment and drinking water. During storms, Mljet’s deep bays also served as safe harbours. The Romans couldn’t resist the charms of the island either, so they started establishing more permanent settlements, the oldest of which is Polače in the north-

western part of the island. Today, a road leads through its ancient Roman walls, and the name of the village itself comes from the ancient Roman palace on whose foundations the village was built. Many find the opposite, north-western side of the island the most beautiful, the spots where the Small and Large Lakes are tucked away. Although they’re called lakes, a narrow passage connects them to the sea, which is what makes them salty marine lakes. As a matter of fact, the lakes are large bays that penetrate deep into Mljet’s mainland and were created by the immersion of what had once been karst valleys when the Mediterranean Sea rose at the end of the Ice Age. In the shade of pine trees, the chirping of birds and the intoxicating scent of pine trees, stunning footpaths embrace the lakes. The lakes are calm even during the strongest of southerlies blowing, protected from the big waves pounding the exterior of the island. The lakes’ shores are indented and covered lushly with pine tree canopies descending all the way to the sea, so much so that mussels grow on some of the submerged branches. The two lakes are connected by a narrow canal, via which seawater enters the lakes under the influence of the tides. A stone bridge was built above the canal, called the Small Bridge. The Large Lake boasts a tiny island, the Islet of St. Mary, where the Benedictines built a beautiful monastery in the 12th century. Built of stone and blended beautifully in the green and blue surroundings of the lake, the monastery’s been an oasis of faith and knowledge for centuries. Those Benedictines who knew how to dive would come across an abundance of scallops, noble pen shells, date shells and other shellfish at the bottom of the lake. The Large Lake is also home to a community of cushion coral. Spreading across an area of 650 m2, this is the largest community of this coral in the Mediterranean. Cushion coral benefits from the sea currents flowing along a location near the Large Bridge at the entrance to the Large Lake. These corals are a habitat for many other living organisms, and this spot is particularly rich in fish that come here to spawn. The rest of the seabed surrounding Mljet is also fascinating, mostly because it’s been well preserved. It abounds in living organisms that only divers can enjoy. They’ll encounter many shellfish, fish and rich lobster habitats below the surface. The

well preserved habitats of flowering Neptune grass are particularly important. This is where many species find shelter, reproduce and grow, species such as the giant tun shell, the noble pen shell, many different species of fish, etc. Mljet’s side facing the open sea provides rockier and deeper habitats, typical of Croatia’s Adriatic coast. Mljet was home to the Mediterranean monk seal until recently. It found a place to live in the safety of the rocky south side of the island. Sadly, the last Mediterranean monk seals were seen on Mljet some twenty or so years ago. For fishermen, the Mediterranean monk seal was nothing but a problem because it would rip their fishing nets while stealing part of their catch. Yet, today many would like to see the Mediterranean monk seal return as it would further enrich the natural environment of Mljet, a green island surrounded by the blue Adriatic.  02

MALOSTONSKA KAMENICA PDO MALI STON OYSTER The Queen of Oysters Mali Ston oyster is European flat oyster (lat. Ostrea edulis), one of the most valued species of oysters in the world. It has a Protected Designation of Origin mark and it is inscribed into EU Geographical Indications Register. The specificity of Mali Ston oyster is based on the unique natural characteristics of Mali Ston Bay, a protected special marine reserve, as well as centuries long tradition and expertise of breeding oysters. The optimum quantity and composition of the food, the excellent quality of the sea water and the

UZVI I PROFINJENA GLAZBA U SVETOM DONATU Piše/By _ Melita Ivković

SUBLIME AND REFINED MUSIC AT ST. DONATUS

Oživljavajući sakralne prostore kroz pulsiranje zvukova i ritmova srednjeg vijeka i renesanse, pretvarajući rimski Forum i gradske trgove u pozornice veličanstvenih orkestralnih i opernih glazbenih djela, Glazbene večeri u Sv. Donatu postale su ono što se u Zadru ne smije propustiti − osjećaj uzvišenosti i profinjene kvalitete. By bringing sacral spaces to life with the sounds and rhythms of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and by transforming the Roman Forum in Zadar and other town squares into different stages where magnificent orchestral and operatic music pieces are performed, the Musical Evenings at St. Donatus are an absolute must-have experience in Zadar − they’ll give you a sense of sublimity and refined quality.

50 _ CROATIA AIRLINES 2/2021

lazbene večeri u Sv. Donatu pokrenute su davne 1961. godine zahvaljujući entuzijazmu skladatelja i dirigenta Pavla Dešpalja i njegovim dvjema željama − da crkva sv. Donata postane koncertni prostor i da Zadar ponovno dobije vlastiti orkestar. Za tu prigodu Dešpalj je osnovao Zadarski komorni orkestar, koji je inauguriran na prvom koncertu Večeri, i to praizvedbom skladbe Moba za gudače, koju je posebno za tu priliku skladao njegov otac Šime. Zadarska predromanička rotonda tako je, nakon tisućugodišnjeg sna, otvorila svoja vrata publici koja je idućih

šest desetljeća mogla uživati u vrhunskim glazbenim izvedbama u tom prostoru iznimne arhitekture i akustike. Večeri, otpočetka međunarodnog karaktera, posebnu su prepoznatljivost u Europi i svijetu uživale od 1975. do 1990., kada je znatan dio programa bio posvećen ranoj glazbi. Bilo je to doba velikoga proboja rane glazbe, a na Starom se kontinentu entuzijazam za nju javio gotovo istodobno kad i na zadarskoj pozornici. To je razdoblje koje se pamti po gostovanjima iznimnih stručnjaka i umjetnika iz različitih dijelova svijeta koji su strastveno istraživali i izvodili glazbu srednjega vijeka, renesanse i baroka. Nakon dramatičnog prekida 1991. godine, Večeri su nastavile s radom, prkosno održavajući kontinuitet čak i u ratnom vihoru pod granatama 1992. i 1993. godine, ali i razvijajući koncept koji će se održati do danas. On se temelji na biranim simfonijskim i komornim koncertima, uz ranu glazbu, ali zadržava fokus na predstavljanju zadarskih skladatelja i izvođača, uz naglasak na skladatelje životom i radom vezane uz Zadar, poput Franza von Suppèa, Blagoja Berse, Igora Kuljerića i drugih. Za svoje 61. izdanje Večeri pripremaju niz

he Musical Evenings at St. Donatus were launched back in 1961 thanks to composer and conductor Pavle Dešpalj’s enthusiasm and two of his wishes − to see the Church of St. Donatus become a concert space and to see Zadar get its own orchestra again. As a result, Dešpalj founded the Zadar Chamber Orchestra, whose very first music performance opened the first Musical Evenings at St. Donatus premiering the Moba for Strings composition, a piece specially composed for the occasion by Pavle Dešpalj’s father, Šime Dešpalj. After a thousand years of sleep, Zadar’s Pre-Romanesque rotunda of St. Donatus finally opened its doors to audiences that have been enjoying top musical performances for six decades already in a space of exceptional architecture and acoustics. Once the Musical Evenings at St. Donatus became international in character, they enjoyed great acclaim in Europe and the world between 1975 and 1990, when a significant part of the programme was dedicated to early music. At the time, early music enjoyed

a revival, and the Old Continent’s interest in it coincided with that in Zadar. It was a time that’ll be remembered for guest performances given by exceptional experts and artists from different parts of the world who are passionate about researching and performing medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music. After the Musical Evenings were interrupted dramatically in 1991, in the following two years performances continued to be given even in the whirlwind of war and in defiance of grenades dropping on Zadar in 1992 and 1993. That was also a time when the Musical Evenings’ new concept was developed, a concept which has lasted to date. It is based on not only early music performances, but also selected symphony and chamber orchestra concerts, and focuses on presenting Zadar-born composers and performers, with an emphasis on composers whose life and work was tied to Zadar, composers such as Franz von Suppé, Blagoje Bersa, Igor Kuljerić and others. The 61st edition of the Musical Evenings at St. Donatus is lining up a series of top music experiences, from amongst which the following should be singled out: the grand opening at the Roman Forum broadcast live by the Croatian Radio and Television, with a performance given by soloist Lovre

Marušić on piano accompanied by the Croatian Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra; we’ll then return to early music through the Contemporary Quality of Early Music series, which is led as of this year by Katarina Livljanić, musicologist, singer and professor at the Sorbonne University in Paris and the Schola Cantorum in Basel, who’s bringing to Zadar prominent names in July, names such as the Russian Patriarchate Choir of Moscow or Dutch-

man Rob Riemen, one of Europe’s leading intellectuals and author of two international bestsellers translated into 23 languages; concerts by the Zadar Chamber Orchestra conducted by Ivan Repušić, currently the most sought-after Croatian conductor and chief conductor of the Munich Radio Orchestra, accompanied by soloist Roman Simović, the concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra.  www.donat-festival.com

neposrednoj blizini Zagreba, u gradiću Samoboru, okruženome prelijepim gorjem (Plešivica i Žumberak sa svojim Parkom prirode), otvara se raznolikost ljepota prirode i kulture sljubljene s lokalnom eno-gastronomijom. Od mogućnosti samostalnih istraživanja (autom ili čak pješice) do organiziranih akcija, pri čemu su posebno zanimljive biciklističke ture, Samobor i okolica nude zanimljive teme i još interesantnija slana i slatka sparivanja. Nakon posjeta Grgosovoj špilji u Otruševcu, koja je slučajno otkrivena 1973., a drugi, još veći i ljepši dio pronađen je 2007., preporuka je odmah skočiti preko

puta u Grgosovu gostionicu Kod špilje. Ako su vam drage pastrve (na tanjuru), mjesto za obilazak jest Kršlinov mlin. Ukusno krupno mljeveno kukuruzno brašno za prženje pastrve upravo je iz tog parnog mlina, ali ondje ćete naći i druge delicije. Odlazak u mjesto Rude, u Rudnik sveta Barbara − jedan od najstarijih europskih rudnika bakra i željeza, a u 19. st. i gipsa, napušten pedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća − prilika je vidjeti nekadašnje rovove koji su obnovljeni sredstvima iz domaćih i EU fondova i obnovljeni za turizam.

kolač koji potječe baš iz Ruda, bila bi nepopravljiva šteta. Upravo tu nalazi se pekarnica Nikl, sada jedini certificirani proizvođač originalne i internacionalno zaštićene Rudarske greblice. Ime restorana Gabreku 1929. asocira na sjajna jela od gljiva i divljači u toj poznatoj gostionici u gradu Samoboru, ali i na gljivarske ture, branje, pripremu i degustaciju na samom izvorištu, u Budinjaku, u Parku prirode Žumberak. Dvojba treba li na glavnom samoborskom Trgu kralja Tomislava započeti ili završiti turu Samoborom i okolicom jednaka je dvojbi je li bermet aperitiv ili dižestiv. (Može biti oboje.) Najbolje je tu dilemu

No ako ste ljubitelj slatkoga, ukusnim samoborskim kremšnitama u Kavani Livadić ipak ćete zasladiti kraj ove iznimne ture. Do skorog povratka. Bermet je naziv za crno aromatizirano vino, pripremljeno od biranih sorti grožđa, pelina i južnog voća, a samoborska muštarda vrsta je senfa koji se izvrsno slaže uz kuhano meso, a priprema se od tučene gorušice u koju se ukuhava posebno pripremljen pekmez od grožđa.

Offering a range of interesting activities − from exploring the area on your own (by car or even on foot) to organised tours, the most interesting of which are cycling tours − Samobor and its surroundings also offer even more interesting savoury and sweet pairings. After you visit the Grgos Cave in Otruševec − which was discovered in 1973 quite by accident, and whose other, even larger and more beautiful part was discovered in 2007 − make sure you check out Grgos Cave’s inn Kod Špilje (At the Cave in translation) right across the road.

The delicious coarse-ground cornmeal used for frying trout comes from the steam mill itself. Here, you’re bound to find other delicacies as well. A visit to the village of Rude and St. Barbara Mine − one of Europe’s oldest copper

and iron mines, where even gypsum was mined in the 19th century, and which was abandoned in the 1950s − is also a chance for you to see the mine’s trenches which were restored for tourism purposes with EU and national funding. To end your organ-

ised tour of the mine and not try rudarska greblica, a traditional pie which originates from the village of Rude itself, would be a grave mistake. This is where the Nikl Bakery is, today the only certified producer of the traditional rudarska greblica, which was awarded the European Union’s Protected Designation of Origin and Protected Geographical Indication labels. The first thing that springs to mind when you think of the famous Gabreku (At Gabrek’s in translation) 1929 Inn in the town of Samobor are great mushroom and game dishes, as well as mushroom foraging tours − picking, preparing and tasting mushrooms at the very source, in the village of

Budinjak in the Žumberak Nature Park. The dilemma of having to decide whether your tour of Samobor and its surroundings should start or end on Samobor’s main King Tomislav Square is identical to the dilemma of having to decide whether bermet is an aperitif or a digestif. (It can be both.) The best way to resolve this dilemma is to head for the beautiful cellar of the Filipec family right next to the square, where, besides bermet, we recommend that you also try the famous samoborska muštarda. And if you have a sweet tooth, the best way to sweeten the end of your tour of Samobor and its surroundings is to treat yourself to a slice of delicious samoborska

− Prepoznatljiva XD dimenzija stil je koji promičemo. Asimetrija u kroju u funkciji je isticanja ljepote ženskog tijela i prikrivanja nesavršenosti. Zahtjevna konstrukcija daje rezultat kroz jednostavan minimalistički komad, a pritom koristim crnu kao nepresušno platno za istraživanje dekonstrukcija − istaknula je Vrbanić. Naravno, njezin je rad prepoznat i izvan granica Hrvatske, kreacije se nalaze u oko 350 dućana diljem svijeta. Do njih je došla izlaganjima na svjetskim sajmovima, koje posjećuje već godinama. − U normalna vremena to bi bili sajmovi u New Yorku, Los Angelesu, Parizu, Londonu, Dublinu, Düsseldorfu, Milanu, Moskvi, Sankt Peterburgu, Almatiju i Šangaju. No danas našim kupcima odjeću predstavljamo putem digitalne platforme B2B i webshopa − govori dizajnerica. Veliku pažnju posvećuje načinu na koji kreacija pada na tijelo, a ponekad je to

forma za sebe, vrlo skulpturalna i kompleksno formirana. Igra krojevima i stilski eksperimenti nastavljaju se iz sezone u sezonu jer Ksenija je otkrila vlastiti trend koji pomno prati i razvija. Uvjerena je da uspjeh nije nešto što se događa preko noći, već je iza svakog projekta mnogo rada, a upravo je to jedan od osnovnih preduvjeta za kvalitetu. U već spomenutom dizajnerskom razvojnom centru dizajnerica ima i showroom, a tu su brojni drugi modni laboratoriji gdje krojački, tekstilni timovi razvijaju svoje ideje. Na čelu svega je Vrbanić, koja konstantno traži neka inovativna rješenja, poštujući pravilo o dizajnu koji je poseban, nosiv i ujedno stilski primjenjiv. Tu i tamo koristi boje, a u tom su slučaju one akcenti koji izlaze iz avangardnih tamnih likovnih ploha, tek toliko da naglasi neki kontrast i vlastitoj modnoj igri omogući neki novi doživljaj. 

would only reduce the stylistic and physical value of her creations. − The style we’ve been promoting is a recognisable XD aesthetics. The asymmetry in my cuts serves to both highlight the beauty of the female body and to conceal imperfections. My constructions are demanding, but they result in simple, minimalist pieces. I use black as an inexhaustible source of researching deconstructions − Vrbanić points out. Naturally enough, her designs have been recognised beyond the borders of Croatia. Her creations are sold in about 350 stores around the world, which she achieved by exhibiting at world fashion trade shows and exhibitions, which she’s been attending for years. − Under normal circumstances, these would be the shows held in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dublin, Düsseldorf, Milan, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Almaty and Shanghai. Today, we use B2B e-commerce platforms and our webshop to present the designs to our customers − says the designer. She pays great attention to the

way her designs follow the silhouette, and sometimes they’re very sculptural and elaborately shaped forms in themselves. Ksenija is continuing to play with cuts and experiment with styles from season to season because she’s discovered her own trend, which she’s been closely following and developing. She’s convinced that success is not something that happens overnight, and that each and every project requires a lot of work, which is one of the essential preconditions of quality. Ksenija’s design development centre also has a showroom, and there are also many other fashion laboratories where tailoring and textile teams develop their ideas. Ksenija Vrbanić is at the helm of it all − in constant search of innovative solutions while respecting her designs which are special, wearable and functional in terms of style. She uses colours here and there, in which case colour serves to highlight the dark avant-garde art surfaces of her garments, to accentuate a contrast and give her play with fashion a new experience. 

Bio prazan ili pun ljudi, Bruges je uvijek autentičan.

Less than an hour away from the crowds of Brussels, the seat of the EU, Bruges gives you a feeling that you can have it all to yourself and that nothing can spoil this unique place, not even not being able to find a place to sit on a cafe terrace in the summer months when it’s overrun by tourists. Whether empty or packed with people, Bruges is always authentic. Piše/By _ Ines Sabalić

ilm In Bruges. Dvojica plaćenih ubojica odmaraju se poslije zahtjevnog posla sklonivši se u taj belgijski grad dok se situacija malo ne smiri. Mlađi, Colin Farrell, nezainteresiran za kulturu, povijest i vizuale ovoga flamanskoga grada, preživjet će. Stariji tip, Brendan Gleeson, oduševljen i ponesen ljepotom Brugesa, i njihov šef, Ralph Fiennes, koji smatra da je boravak u Brugesu najviše što se nekome može darovati prije smrti, umiru. Izvrsno pogođen u tom nedovoljno hvaljenome filmu jest osjećaj da čovjek može imati Bruges samo za sebe, da ništa ne može pokvariti to jedinstveno mjesto, čak ni kad u ljetnim mjesecima nema dovoljno mjesta na terasama zbog drugih turista. Uostalom, Bruges je stoljećima bio u strahovitim gužvama, većima nego što su današnje turističke. Od ranoga srednjeg vijeka bio je važna luka na morskom rukavcu na kraju kojeg je niknuo grad, središte događanja, pa su najvještiji, najbistriji trgovci, zanatlije i pomorci u zapadnoj i sjevernoj Europi gravitirali prema Brugesu. U 11. stoljeću iskopani su prvi kanali, grad se naglo razvijao, ali iznenada − more se povuklo. Luka je ostala na suhome, grad je propao, presušio kao i rukavac. Cijelo stoljeće poslije golemo nevrijeme sručilo se na grad, a more, vjerojatno zbog posljedica podmorskog potresa, ponovo je doprlo do samog središta grada i k tomu u silnom naletu proširilo i prirodni kanal. Od tada, od 13. stoljeća, počinje fantastičan ekonomski, društveni, umjetnički procvat ovoga grada koji će potrajati nekoliko stoljeća. Bruges je bio važan hanzeatski grad, trgovinski povezan s velikim ekonomskim i trgovačkim središtima sjevera, od Petrograda do Londona. Bio je glavni grad tada moćne Flandrije. Stotine brodova pristajale su u luku, a na ulicama su se gurali trgovci i mornari i čuli su se svi europski jezici. Venecijanci, Đenovljani, Portugalci, Katalonci, Kastiljanci,

inženjere, slavne slikare, radile su gostionice, svratišta, crkve i tiskare, odakle su izlazile prve europske knjige. Bogataši su se nadmetali u pokazivanju raskoši. Kupovale su se svete relikvije, a najvrjednija, sveta krv Isusova, svake se godine, od 13. stoljeća do danas, na dan Kristova uzašašća pronosi po Brugesu. Bio je to vrlo bučan grad. Novac je privlačio baš sve pa su tako nahrupili i prosjački vjerski redovi. Prosjaci redovnici vukli su se ulicama i najavljivali Sudnji dan, proklinjali ili blagoslivljali ovisno o tomu jesu li dobili milostinju. Grad im je sagradio nekoliko samostana i hranio ih. Poslije su se razbježali. Blagajne su morale biti pune. Ako Bruges danas razgledavate turističkom plovidbom po kanalima, primijetit ćete na zidovima kuća od crvene cigle − a gradnja od crvene cigle znak je dobrostojećega građanina − mnoge zazidane otvore. Kad bi gradskim vlastima ponestalo novca, udarili bi porez na prozore; kad bi im išlo

Baski donosili su robu iz Afrike i Azije i Mediterana. Južni gradovi osnovali su ovdje svoja stalna trgovačka i politička predstavništva. Bruges je bio, uz Rim, Pariz i Veneciju, jedno od središta Europe i jedan od najvećih europskih gradova. Jug i sjever, to je bila osovina koja je uzvisila Flandriju i Bruges. Glavna industrija koja je podignula ovaj kraj i ovaj grad bila je proizvodnja i trgovina tkanina, a kad se pojačala konkurencija, flamanski su trgovci potpomognuti Hanzom i nadahnuti običajima talijanskih trgovaca počeli razvijati − kapitalizam. Ovdje, i to u 13. stoljeću. Prva europska burza utemeljena je 1309. godine upravo u Brugesu. Prvi se put ovdje masovno trgovalo mjenicama, obveznicama i sustavno izdavalo kredite. Do početka 16. stoljeća Bruges je cvao i rastao. Proizvodnja je privlačila radnike i zanatlije. Novac je omogućio izgradnju kićenih palača i trgova. Gradnja je privlačila nove majstore, tadašnje arhitekte,

dobro, porez na prozore se smanjivao, a vlasnici su zidali ili otvarali rupe u stalnoj igri lovice s poreznicima. Živjelo se na kanalima, koji su u vrijeme dok je ovdje cvala proizvodnja sukna tekli u zelenoj, plavoj, grimiznoj boji, ovisno o tomu kako se i gdje bojala tkanina. Sreća se ponovno promijenila u 16. stoljeću kad se more povuklo, a brodovi nisu mogli doploviti do Brugesa. Počelo je polagano propadanje: u nekoć prenapučenu gradu, koji je unutar zidina imao 200 tisuća stanovnika, u 18. stoljeću jedva je tko i stanovao. Trava do koljena rasla je ulicama Brugesa, a bršljan obrastao po svim pročeljima. Kanali su bili ustajali i neočišćeni. Trgovina i cijeli cirkus života preselio se u Antwerpen, a lijepi Bruges ostao je prazan. Stalni posjetioci bili su pjesnici, uglavnom engleski i francuski, koji su voljeli bolećivo melankolične prizore bivše slave. Tako je bilo sve do 19. stoljeća, kad je Bruges ponovno pronašao svoj novi identitet, postavši jedno od prvih mjesta gdje je dolazila nova kategorija ljudi − turisti. Sada, kada je pandemija srezala masovne pohode turista Brugesu, kad se ondje nađete, u atmosferi grada osjeti se nešto od tih davnih dana. Međutim, ono što treba biti otvoreno, jest, a to su muzeji, galerije, ljekarne, hoteli, izleti brodićem po kanalima. Pandemijske se mjere amortiziraju pa su terase ili neki restorani otvoreni, no ako i nisu, dostava hrane funkcionira. U Brugesu je dobro to što je ovaj grad sve prošao i što je preko njega svašta protutnjalo, i nitko se posebno ne čudi novom zaokretu sudbine. U srednjem vijeku i renesansi građani su bili izvanredno praznovjerni, a kako i ne bi kad im se more povlači ili nahrupi svakih toliko, a bogatstvo i siromaštvo tako drastično smjenjuju. Bojali su se svega, raznih vragova koje je trebalo izbjegavati raznim ritualima, vještica, a najviše duhova. Navodno u zatrpanim kanalima ispod grada lutaju duhovi. Kad začujete vjetar iz pravca Sjevernog mora, ništa se ne čini

nemoguće kad vidite kako mete ulicama. Lagana plovidba kanalima otkriva dio grada koji se ne vidi ako se samo šeta, naprimjer mjesto gdje dva kanala završavaju jezercem na kojemu se redovito skuplja 150 gradskih labudova. Ovdašnjim građanima, koji još uvijek žive u svojim lijepim kućama, a to znači da grad nije samo turistička kulisa, labudovi puno znače i prijeti se kaznom od pet godina zatvora za ubojstvo labuda! Prednost praznoga grada jest posjet muzejima i galerijama, posebno ako vam stara umjetnost nešto znači. Ovo je najsjevernija točka Europe do koje je dospjela neka Michelangelova skulptura, a k tomu i za njegova života. Naručena skulptura u Bruges je dopremljena brodom, a svoj je dom pronašla u crkvi Onze-Lieve-Vrouw. U galerijama su neka od najvećih djela flamanske škole, Boscha, Memlinga, Van Eycka. Kakav god bio, Bruges je sve vidio, a bio prazan ili pun ljudi, autentičan je. 

In the film In Bruges, after a particularly difficult job, two hit men head to Belgium to hide out until things cool down. The younger, Ray, played by Colin Farrell, uninterested in this Flemish town’s culture and history or sightseeing, survives. The older guy, Ken, played by Brendan Gleeson, delighted and enchanted by the beauty of Bruges, and their boss, Harry, played by Ralph Fiennes, who thinks that a stay in Bruges is the most that can be given to someone before they die, both die in the film. This underappreciated film absolutely nails the feeling that you can have Bruges all to yourself and that nothing can spoil this unique place, not even not being able to find a place to sit on a cafe terrace in the summer months when Bruges is overrun by tourists. After all, Bruges had been overcrowded for centuries, even more so than it is today. Since the early Middle Ages, Bruges had been an important seaport in an inlet at the

end of which the town − a hotspot of human activity − developed. As a result, the most skilled and brightest merchants, artisans and sailors of Western and Northern Europe started gravitating towards Bruges. Bruges’s first canals were dug in the 11th century, so the town started developing rapidly. But, out of the blue, the sea receded. The seaport went dry, and the town collapsed and dried up like its inlet. An entire century later, a fierce storm struck the place and the sea − probably due to the consequences of an underwater earthquake − reached the very centre of Bruges again, with the raging torrent having widened the inlet as a result. It was then, that is, in the 13th century, that Bruges started flourishing economically, socially and culturally, that Bruges enjoyed a boom that lasted for several centuries. Bruges was an important Hanseatic town, connected commercially with the great economic and trade centres of the north,

from St. Petersburg to London. It was the capital of the then mighty Flanders. Hundreds of ships used to dock in its seaport, with its streets overcrowded with merchants and sailors speaking all European languages. The Venetians, Genoese, Portuguese, Catalans, Castilians and the Basques shipped goods from Africa, Asia

and the Mediterranean. Towns from the south all set up permanent trade and political branch offices in Bruges. Bruges was on a par with Rome, Paris and Venice − it was one of the hotspots of Europe and one of the biggest cities in Europe. The south and the north − that was the pivot around which the growth of Flanders and Bruges turned. The biggest industry that helped Bruges and the region to develop and blossom was the textile industry. When competition became more intense, the merchants of Flanders − aided by the Hanseatic League and inspired by the practices of Italian merchants − started developing capitalism. Here, in the 13th century. Europe’s first stock exchange was founded in 1309 − in Bruges. It was in Bruges that bills of exchange and bonds were traded and loans given systematically for the first time in Europe. By the early 16th century, Bruges was thriving and growing rapidly. Production attracted workers and craftsmen. The profit that was generated facilitated the construction of ornate palaces and squares. Construction attracted professionals from other fields, the then architects, engineers and famous painters. Bruges boasted inns and eateries, churches and printing houses, where some of the first books in Europe were printed. The rich competed in showing off their wealth. Sacred relics were bought, the most valuable of which − the Relic of the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ − has been carried around Bruges in a ceremonial procession every year since the 13th century on Ascension Day. It was a very clamorous town. Money attracted just about anyone, so mendicant religious orders also started flocking to Bruges. They’d preach on the streets announcing Judgment Day, cursing or blessing people depending on whether they gave them alms or not. They were fed by the town, which also built them several monasteries, which they later abandoned and left. The town treasury had to always be full. If you take a canal tour of Bruges today, you’ll notice many walled up openings on the walls of red brick houses. Only well-to-do families could afford to build their houses from red brick. When the town authorities ran out of money, they’d introduce window tax, and when things went well, window tax was reduced. This, in turn, resulted in house owners either walling or opening up

Now that the pandemic has suspended the arrival of flocks of tourists to Bruges, you can experience some of the atmosphere of the town’s bygone days. What should be open is − museums, galleries, pharmacies, hotels, boat trips along its canals. The measures in response to the pandemic are being eased, so terraces and some restaurants are open, and those that aren’t offer a food delivery service. The interesting thing about Bruges is that it’s gone through it all, and so no one is particularly taken aback by the latest twist of fate. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the people of Bruges were very superstitious. How could they not be when the sea either receded or swelled every once in a while, resulting in wealth and poverty alternating so drastically. They feared everything − various evil spirits that were to be expelled by various rituals, and witches, although what they feared the most were ghosts. Reportedly, there are ghosts wandering around in the buried canals below the town. When you hear the wind howling from the North Sea, when you take notice

of the way in which it sweeps the streets, nothing seems impossible. If you take a canal tour of Bruges, you’ll see parts of town inaccessible to strollers, such as the spot where two canals join up creating a pond where 150 swans regularly gather. Swans mean a whole lot to the residents of Bruges living in their beautiful houses − which means that the town isn’t just a tourist photo backdrop − and so you could be sentenced to five years in prison for killing a swan! If you’re into fine arts, this is a brilliant time to visit Bruges’s museums and galleries because they’re empty, which is a great advantage. This is the northernmost point of Europe that a sculpture by Michelangelo got to, and this in his lifetime. The commissioned Madonna and Child sculpture was delivered to Bruges by boat and found its home in the Church of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk in Dutch). Bruges’s galleries house some of the greatest works of the Flemish School of Painting, works by Bosch, Memling and van Eyck. Whatever it’s like, Bruges has seen it all, and whether it’s empty or packed with people, it’s always authentic. 

windows on their houses in their wanting to avoid window tax payment. People used to live on the canals, whose waters ran green, blue or crimson at the time when the textile industry flourished here, depending on how and where fabric was dyed. Bruges’s good fortune changed again in the 16th century when the sea receded and ships couldn’t reach the seaport. The town started to slowly decline. By the 18th century hardly anyone lived in what had once been an overcrowded town, within the walls of which 200,000 people found a home. The streets of Bruges were overgrown with knee-high grass, house walls with ivy. The water in its clogged up canals was stagnant. All trade and the hustle and bustle of life moved to Antwerp. The beautiful town of Bruges was now lifeless. Bruges’s only regular visitors were poets, mostly English and French, who loved the painfully melancholic vistas of Bruges’s former glory days. This was so until the 19th century, when Bruges reinvented itself. More specifically, it became one of the first places that a new category of people started flocking to − tourists.

Putnicima koji dolaze u Zagreb prava je dobrodošlica izložba umjetničkih fotografija pod nazivom Zagreb voli zeleno, a razgledati je možete u Međunarodnoj zračnoj luci Franjo Tuđman. Dvadeset šest fotografija, čiji su autori poznati hrvatski fotografi, prikazuje zelene zagrebačke površine kojima je grad isprepleten. Da je uistinu tako, govore i podaci kako je čak 71,5 posto gradskih površina pokriveno zelenilom te da Zagreb ima čak 10 milijuna četvornih metara uređenih travnjaka i cvjetnjaka, 200 kilometara održavanih drvoreda i 130 tisuća različitih stabala. Ujedno, ovom izložbom Turistička zajednica grada Zagreba nastavlja s nizom kampanja koje imaju za cilj promicanje našega grada kao odgovorne, održive i sigurne destinacije. Izložbu, koja se nalazi u prostoru za preuzimanje prtljage putničkog terminala, organiziraju Turistička zajednica grada Zagreba i Međunarodna zračna luka Zagreb.

In fact, you don’t even have to leave the city area to indulge in outdoor activities and walks, such as hiking, fishing, golf or cycling. Visitors arriving in Zagreb are welcomed at the Franjo Tuđman International Airport by an art photography exhibition called Zagreb Loves Green. Twenty six photographs authored by famous Croatian photographers portray Zagreb’s green spaces interlacing the city. The fact that as much as 71.5 percent of the city’s space is green, that Zagreb’s home to as many as 10 million square metres of landscaped lawns and flower beds, 200 kilometres of tended tree lines and 130,000 different trees proves that this is indeed the case. This exhibition is part of a series of campaigns run by the Zagreb Tourist Board aiming to promote Zagreb as a responsible, sustainable and safe destination. Mounted in the baggage claim area of the passenger terminal, the exhibition is organised by the Zagreb Tourist Board and the Franjo Tuđman International Airport in Zagreb.

Tako se, primjerice, na Trgu bana Josipa Jelačića ispod centralnog sata smjestio maleni urar, a na uglu Tkalčićeve ulice i Krvavog mosta našla se minijaturna videoteka. Minijatura je u užem središtu Zagreba mnoštvo, a na vama je da ih otkrijete slučajno za vrijeme šetnje gradskim središtem ili pak tako što ćete slijediti kartu koju možete pronaći na internetskim stranicama Turističke zajednice grada Zagreba i u centrima za posjetitelje. Koji god način istraživanja odabrali, zaustavite se i spustite pogled kako biste uočili i ono što ste do sada propuštali, a važan je dio mozaika svakodnevice u kojoj živimo.

You’re invited to discover them either by chance while strolling around the city centre or by following the map available on the website of the Zagreb Tourist Board and in visitor centres. Whichever way you choose to explore, make sure you stop and look down to see what you’ve missed out on so far − it’s an important part of the mosaic of everyday life we live. The story of Little Zagreb by Filip Filković started on Instagram as a series of photomontages. Through cooperation with the Zagreb Tourist Board, the story was brought to life and turned into Zagreb’s recognisable landscape.

The downsized version of the streets and squares that we walk across in a rush, of the buildings that we pass by every day sometimes without noticing them will make you stop, see and observe more, but also think differently. Little Zagreb is much more than an interesting form… At eleven locations in Zagreb, at completely unexpected spots in Zagreb’s public spaces, you’ll come across miniature models of shop windows, the windows and doors of old craft and sole trader shops such as bakeries, antique shops, pharmacies, watchmakers and townhouses with ornamental doors and large windows. On Ban Josip Jelačić Square, for instance, a tiny watchmaker’s shop found a home under the central clock, and on the corner

Picasso i Miró: prijateljstvo sloboda Picasso and Miró: Friendship of Freedoms

Piše/By _ Nataša Bošnjaković

Closing on 30th September, the Juraj Šporer Art Pavilion in Opatija is hosting a fascinating exhibition of graphic artworks by two of the greatest names in creative thought of the 20th century − Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró. Over 100 original lithographs, copper engravings, woodcuts, engravings, aquatints, pochoirs and several ceramic pieces from private collections selected for presentation under the title Picasso and Miró: Friendship of Freedoms speak of the imminence and beauty of unity, connection, courage, closeness and the spiritual importance of friendship. Thanks to the cruelty of times and the instability of historical circumstances, a unity in spirit, a friendship in creativity, and their shared views on freedom and expressions of authenticity brought the two Catalan giants together in their quest for liberation from unpleasant life circumstances and social impositions. Alienation, loneliness, restraint of expression, exile, spiritual emptiness and destitution − topics that today’s cultural observers are intimately acquainted with − brought the two artists together in their struggle for unearthing inner paths to redemption. I retreated into myself. The more distrustful I am of my surroundings, the more it seems to me that I am closer to places inhabited by the spirit; trees, mountains, friendship. Joan Miró

Prostori Umjetničkog paviljona Juraj Šporer u Opatiji od 21. svibnja do 30. rujna 2021. domaćini su prekrasne izložbe grafičkih ostvarenja jednih od najvećih imena kreativne misli 20. stoljeća, Pabla Picassa i Joana Miróa. Više od 100 originalnih litografija, bakroreza, drvoreza, gravura, akvatinti, pochoira i nekoliko keramika iz privatnih kolekcija objedinjenih pod nazivom Picasso i Miró: Prijateljstvo sloboda progovarat će o neizbježnosti i ljepoti zajedništva, povezanosti, hrabrosti, bliskosti i duhovnoj prijekosti prijateljstva. Kroz okrutnost vremena i nestalnost povijesnih okolnosti sjedinjenost u duhu, prijateljevanje u stvaralaštvu, jednakost pogleda na slobodu i ekspresije autentičnosti združuju katalonske divove u pothvatu za oslobođenjem od nemilih životnih datosti i socijalnih nametnutosti. Otuđenost, usamljenost, sputanost izričaja, izbjeglištvo, duhovna praznina i materijalna oskudica, teme nikad bliže kulturnom promatraču nego danas, povezuju ih u borbi za otkrivanjem unutarnjih putova izbavljenja. Povukao sam se u sebe. Što sam nepovjerljiviji prema svojem okruženju, to mi se više čini kako sam bliže mjestima u kojima obitava duh; stablima, planinama, prijateljstvu. Joan Miró

Graffiti Jam, kojemu će upravo break dance i grafiti umjetnost biti u fokusu, a čime će biti zaokružena cijela urbana priča koja traje još od 1999. godine. Eastern Croatia has been a true European extreme sports hotspot for more than two decades, and this thanks to the Pannonian Challenge extreme sports festival, which features not only the world’s best BMX, skate, inline skate and scooter riders’ adrenaline-pumping tricks, but also an accompanying programme packed with urban culture-related events. Every year, more than 200 top extreme sports athletes gather in Osijek’s skate park, which is sure to set the world on fire and be a spectacle for not only those who’re already fascinated by extreme sports, but also those who’re yet to become fans of it. As nothing prevented it last year from taking place even though many sporting events were cancelled, the 22nd Pannonian Challenge will continue to push back the boundaries this summer on the left bank of the Drava River − even more powerfully and jam-packed with positive vibes. Between 11th and 15th August, you’ll get to see athletes from the USA, Russia, the UK, Venezuela, France, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and the rest of the region compete with each other. Considering that it’s held after the long-awaited Olympic Games, the extreme sports festival in Osijek will be a grand finale of sorts − the competition format that the freestyle

BMX and skate riders will face is greater. For the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the Pannonian Challenge team experts helped to organise and build the most attractive skate park modelled on the one in the heart of Slavonia. Besides BMX, skate, inline skate and scooter competitions, Osijek’s modern skate park is also hosting the traditional Hip Hop & Graffiti Jam. It features break dance and graffiti art, and rounds off Osijek’s entire urban story which has been told continuously since 1999. pannonian.hr

Tekst/Text_Udruga Pannonian/Pannonian Association

Istočna Hrvatska već više od dva desetljeća glasi za pravo europsko središte ekstremnog sporta, a za sve je zaslužan festival Pannonian Challenge, koji uz adrenalinske trikove najboljih svjetskih BMX, skate, inline i romobil vozača uvijek nudi i odličan popratni sadržaj urbane kulture. Svake godine u osječki skate park dolazi više od 200 vrhunskih ekstremnih sportaša, koji jamče spektakl i užarenu atmosferu za sve ljubitelje ekstremnog sporta − ali i za one koji će to tek postati. Kako ga ni prošle godine ništa nije uspjelo pokolebati, iako su brojni sportski događaji redom otkazivani, 22. Pannonian Challenge i ovoga će ljeta pomicati granice na lijevoj obali rijeke Drave, još snažniji i pun pozitive. Stoga će od 11. do 15. kolovoza na ovom urbanom festivalu snage odmjeriti sportaši iz SAD-a, Rusije, Velike Britanije, Venezuele, Francuske, Italije, Slovenije, Mađarske i ostatka regije. Budući da se održava nakon dugo iščekivanih Olimpijskih igara, osječki festival bit će finale svih finala jer nudi veći format natjecanja za BMX Freestyle i skate vozače, kojima stručnjaci iz ekipe Pannonian Challenge upravo u Tokiju pomažu pri organizaciji natjecanja i izgradnji što atraktivnijeg skate parka, po uzoru na onaj u srcu Slavonije. Uz BMX, skate, inline i romobil natjecanja, u modernom osječkom skate parku pod budnim okom znatiželjnih komaraca održat će se i tradicionalni Hip Hop &

Osječko ljeto kulture Osijek’s Summer of Culture Piše/By _ Danijela Klobučar, Grad Osijek Fotografije/Photos _ Marin Franov

Osječko ljeto kulture (OLJK) najveća je kulturna manifestacija u Osijeku i cijeloj istočnoj Hrvatskoj koja svojim građanima 21 godinu za redom nudi kvalitetne kulturne programe s ciljem zadovoljenja kulturnih potreba Osječana i građana svih gradova regije i šire. Osječko ljeto kulture izraslo je svih ovih godina u pravi brend grada na Dravi, a riječ je o manifestaciji koja kreira kulturni život grada. Program Osječkog ljeta kulture svake godine iznjedri više od 40 programa na 20 različitih lokacija, koje poprati više od 10.000 gledatelja. OLJK 2021. počinje 29. lipnja, a završava 13. srpnja u organizaciji i produkciji Grada Osijeka, a glavnina sredstava izdvaja se iz proračuna Grada Osijeka. Cjelokupni repertoar ostvaruje niz visokokvalitetnih programa iz područja kazališne, glazbene i koncertne, plesne, književne, likovne, novomedijske i filmske kulture te pridonosi poticanju gospodarske i turističke aktivnosti, kao i podizanju

međunarodne vidljivosti grada mijenjajući njegov imidž i čineći ga prepoznatljivim na europskoj i međunarodnoj razini. OLJK 2021. ponovno kao temelj nudi vlastite premijerne naslove: Mačak u čizmama, balet za djecu i odrasle Brune Bjelinskog u suradnji s Hrvatskim narodnim kazalištem u Osijeku, te dramu za djecu Dubravka Jelačića Bužimskog Nebeski Svanimir i Podzemni Suronja, u suradnji s Dječjim kazalištem Branka Mihaljevića u Osijeku. Od prošle godine novost je program OLJKIĆ, koji čine brojni programi za djecu u obliku predstava, likovnih igraonica, radionica i animiranih filmova na otvorenim prostorima. Osijek’s Summer of Culture is the biggest cultural event in Osijek and the whole of eastern Croatia, which has been offering its residents quality arts and cultural programmes for 21 consecutive years with a view to satisfying the need for cultural content of the people of Osijek and other towns in the region and beyond. Over the course of 21 years, Osijek’s Summer of Culture has grown into a proper brand of the Town on the Drava River, which is what Osijek is nicknamed. In a nutshell, Osijek’s Summer of Culture has been creating Osijek’s cultural life. Every year, the line-up of Osijek’s Summer of Culture includes over 40 events at 20 different locations, which are attended by over 10,000 viewers. Organised, produced and funded in large part by the Town of Osijek, Osijek’s Summer of Culture opens on 29th June and closes on 13th July. The repertoire includes a whole range of high-quality

01 Petar Zecimir 02 Umjetnik za hitne intervencije Emergency intervention artist 03 Perpetuum Jazzile

programmes and events in the fields of theatre, music and concerts, dance, literature, visual arts, new media and film culture, and contributes to stimulating economic and tourist activity, and to increasing Osijek’s international visibility by changing its image and making it recognisable at European and international level. Titles premiering in Osijek are again the main feature of this year’s Osijek’s Summer of Culture: Bruno Bjelinski’s Puss in Boots, a ballet for children and adults alike, produced in collaboration with the Croatian National Theatre in Osijek, and Dubravko Jelačić Bužimski’s Cosmic Svanimir and Subterranean Suronja play for children, produced in collaboration with the Branko Mihaljević Children’s Theatre in Osijek. Last year’s edition of the festival introduced a novelty − a children’s programme called OLJKIĆ lining up children’s plays, art workshops and playrooms, and open-air animated film showings. ljetokulture.osijek.hr

Hvarske ljetne priredbe Hvar Summer Festival Piše/By _ Katija Vučetić/Grad Hvar Fotografije/Photos _ Eduard Visković 02

Jedan od najdugovječnijih ljetnih festivala na Jadranu i ove godine, u organizaciji Grada Hvara i uz potporu Ministarstva kulture, na živopisnim povijesnim lokacijama ugošćuje velika imena hrvatske glazbene i dramske scene, iako se održava u znatno skraćenom izdanju zbog aktualne situacije s pandemijom koronavirusa. Sve počinje na Svjetski dan glazbe, 21. lipnja, tradicionalnim zajedničkim koncertom hvarskih kulturno-umjetničkih društava na Trgu sv. Stjepana. Uz lokalna društva obljetničkom izdanju festivala retrospektivnu će notu dati koncert Gabi Novak i Matije Dedića, a posvetu klasičnim izvođačima i skladateljima gitaristički Trio Elogio i saksofonisti Papandopulo kvarteta. Suvremena umjetnost doći će do izražaja uz predstavu Gore Zagre-

bačkog plesnog ansambla, a tradicijska vezanost uz kazalište predstavom Tramvaj zvan čeznja dubrovačkog Kazališta Marina Držića. Vraćanjem visokokvalitetnog umjetničkog doživljaja na Ljetnu pozornicu Veneranda i u obnovljeni hvarski teatar iz 1612., najstarije komunalno kazalište u Europi, Hvar ponovno budi radost stvaranja u kolijevci hrvatske kulture i postaje nezaobilazno mjesto na kulturnoj karti Hrvatske i u ovim izazovnim vremenima. Organised by the town of Hvar and with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Media, this year’s edition of one of the longest-running summer festivals on the Adriatic is hosting some of the biggest names of Croatia’s music and theatre scene in picturesque historic locations. Due to the current coronavirus pandemic,

the festival has, however, been somewhat shortened. The festival opens on World Music Day, 21st June, with a traditional joint concert given by Hvar’s cultural and artistic societies and associations on St. Stephen’s Square in Hvar. The anniversary edition of the festival is given a retrospective touch with a concert by Gabi Novak and Matija Dedić, while the performances given by the guitar Trio Elogio and the saxophonists of the Papandopulo Quartet are dedicated to classical music performers and composers. Contemporary art will come to the fore with the Upwards performance given by the Zagreb Dance Company, while classical theatre with a performance of A Streetcar Named Desire by the Marin Držić Theatre from Dubrovnik. By seeing to it that a high-quality cultural experience is offered at both the Veneranda Summer Stage and the renovated Hvar Public Theatre from 1612, the oldest communal theatre in Europe, Hvar has reawakened interest in the joy of creation in the cradle of Croatian culture and has, in these challenging times, become a must-visit place on Croatia’s cultural map. hvarsummerfestival.hr

Croatia Airlines, a long-standing member of the Croatian Olympic family, supports all of Croatia’s athletes with pride and joy. Croatia Airlines’ employees will be cheering passionately and with enthusiasm for all of them. To give them extra support, some of Croatia Airlines’ employees stood by Croatia’s Olympians and had photos taken together. Kristina Mlinarić, a former handball player and today a pilot of the Dash 8-Q400 aircraft, readily stood by the side of Croatian shooter Josip Glasnović, who returned from the Rio de Janeiro Games with an Olympic gold medal. Snježana Drobnjak, an accounting employee, mother of three and once an active athlete, supported Croatian swimmer Franko Grgić whom the world of both Croatian and world swimming has great hopes for, and four-time Olympic veteran of table tennis Andrej Gaćina. Our aircraft technician Dominik Palčić had his photo taken with one of our best athletes of all time, discus thrower Sandra Perković, and with the young marathon runner Matea Parlov Koštro. A passionate supporter of Croatian athletes, Dominik will be closely following Croatia’s Olympians on their Olympic journey on the small screen this summer. So will we all. We wish Croatia’s Olympians every success in each of their competitions in Tokyo and many memorable moments that they’ll bring back home, when Croatia Airlines will be ready to welcome them.  01 Aviotehničar Dominik Palčić sa šampionkom u bacanju diska Sandrom Perković Aircraft technician Dominik Palčić with champion in discus throw Sandra Perković

treba pridodati i podruËja pod strogom zaπtitom prirode, rezervate, spomenike prirode, parkove prirode. Zbog svih njih Hrvatsku mnogi smatraju jednim od naj ljepπih europskih vrtova. National parks Croatia has eight national parks, four of which are located in the mountain region (Paklenica, Plitvice Lakes, Risnjak and Nor thern Velebit), and four in the coastal region (Brijuni, Kornati, Krka and Mljet). Besides these, certain areas under strict nature pro tection ∑ reserves, natural monuments and natural parks ∑ should be mentioned as a natural heritage of special value. They have all contributed to Croatia’s being considered one of the most beautiful gardens of Europe.

Tri hrvatske urbane cjeline i dva spome niËka kompleksa imaju status spomenika svjetske kulturne baπtine, koji dodjeljuje Unesco. To su kasnoantiËka Dioklecijanova palaËa, pregraena tijekom stoljeÊa u sred njovjekovni Split, gradovi Dubrovnik i Trogir te Eufrazijeva bazilika u PoreËu i katedrala sv. Jakova u ©ibeniku. Nacionalni park PlitviËka jezera, najljepπi i najpoznatiji hrvatski nacionalni park, tako er je dio Unescove Svjetske baπtine. A past for the present Croatia is rich in cultural and historical monuments from all eras, due to the turbulent events of history and the interlacing of in fluences of different cultures. Its coast is cha

racterized by the influences of Mediterranean culture, numerous ancient remains, monu ments of the Roman era and early Middle Ages, a Romanesque church heritage and a number of distinctive Mediterranean urban entities that have been preserved. Inland Croatia is a part of the Central European cul tural circle and is distinguished by numerous prehistoric findings of world significance, by old towns, fortresses and castles dating from the late Middle Ages, and cultural monuments and architecture from the Baroque era. Three Croatian cities and two monumental com-plexes have the status of monuments of world cultural heritage accorded by UNE SCO. These are the Late Antique Palace of Diocletian, remodeled through the centuries into the mediev al city of Split, the cities of Dubrovnik and Trogir, the Basilica of Euphra sius in PoreË and the Cathedral of St. Jacob in ©ibenik. The nation al park of the Plitvice Lakes, Cro atia’s most beautiful and celebrated national park, is also a part of UNESCO’s world heritage.

Hrvatska je blizu ne samo zbog svoga geografskog smještaja nego i zbog mreæe zraËnih luka i kvalitetnih usluga nacional nog avioprijevoznika Croatia Airlinesa te drugih zraËnih prijevoznika. I zbog svoje mreæe autocesta i poluautocesta Hrvatska je bliæa nego ikad.

Croatia - a Mediterranean tourism success Croatia has been a hit destination in the Mediterranean in the past few years, say statisticians and international experts in tourism. Croatia is close not only because of its geographic position, but also because of its network of airports and the top quality services provided by Croatia Airlines, its

national carrier, as well as other airliners. Also, due to its network of highways and semi-motorways, Croatia is closer than ever.

Također, u planu su izravni letovi iz Dubrovnika u Atenu, Frankfurt, München, Pariz, Rim i Zürich te iz Rijeke u München. Kako bi osigurao povezanost i snažno podržao turistički proizvod Republike Hrvatske, Croatia Airlines tijekom ljetne sezone na letovima iz europskih odredišta prema Hrvatskoj planira ponuditi više od 80.000 sjedala mjesečno, a u suradnji s mnogim turoperatorima predviđeno je i više od 200 turističkih čarter (izvanrednih) letova s tržišta Austrije, Italije, Irske, Izraela i Skandinavije.

During the summer season, Split Airport should be connected to a total of 12 foreign destinations.

between the airports of Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, Osijek, Zadar, Brač and Pula. Prevezli smo grupu putničkih agenata iz SAD-a Na letu iz Dubrovnika za Zagreb 30. travnja bilo nam je zadovoljstvo prevesti grupu putničkih agenata iz Amerike. U organizaciji agencije RealCroatia i predstavništva Hrvatske turističke zajednice u SAD-u, u Hrvatskoj se održalo prvo organizirano putovanje turističkih agenata iz Amerike u Europu od pojave globalne pandemije koronavirusa. U programu ovoga putovanja sudjelovalo je osam američkih putničkih agentica, čije su agencije usko specijalizirane za putovanja u segmentu luksuznog turizma, a koje su obišle reprezentativne hrvatske destinacije − Zagreb, Plitvička jezera, Zadar, Trogir, Split, Hvar, Pelješac i Dubrovnik.

zahvalio svim putnicima na povjerenju u proteklih trideset godina i istaknuo kako će kvaliteta usluge i sigurnost letenja i dalje biti prioriteti u poslovanju kompanije. Na mjestu gdje su prije tri desetljeća doputovali prvi putnici naše kompanije istaknuo je: − Croatia Airlines redovitim domaćim letovima već 30 godina osigurava kontinuiranu prometnu povezanost hrvatskih gradova i regija, a mrežom međunarodnih letova putnicima istodobno pružamo cjelogodišnju povezanost sa svijetom. I u ovim izvanrednim okolnostima kompanija ni u jednom trenutku nije prekinula letenje, čime je dodatno potvrdila da predstavlja strateški dio hrvatske prometne infrastrukture te da snažno pridonosi kvaliteti hrvatskoga turističkog proizvoda.

The 30th anniversary of our first passenger flight celebrated in Split Our first commercial flight was operated on 5th May 1991 from Zagreb to Split. That flight represented the establishment of scheduled air traffic within the borders of Croatia, with which the Republic of Croatia achieved its dream of establishing its own flag carrier airline company. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the company’s first flight, all passengers on Croatia Airlines’ OU652 flight from Zagreb to Split were gifted a free return ticket to a destination of their choice from Croatia Airlines’ domestic network of destinations. After Croatia Airlines’ Dash 8-Q400 aircraft landed at Split Airport on 5th May, a celebration was held, at which Slaven Žabo, Commercial Division Director at Croatia Airlines, thanked all pas-

sengers for their trust over the past thirty years, and pointed out that the quality of service and flight safety continue to be priorities in the company’s business operations. At the place where the company’s first passengers landed three decades ago, he highlighted the following: − Croatia Airlines’ scheduled domestic flights have been connecting Croatian cities and regions uninterruptedly for 30 years already, and offering passengers year-round connections with the world through its network of international flights. Even in these extraordinary circumstances, the company has never stopped flying, which only confirms that Croatia Airlines represents a strategic segment of Croatia’s transport infrastructure and that it strongly contributes to the quality of Croatia’s tourism product.

Star Alliance osniva centar izvrsnosti u Singapuru Potkraj ove godine Star Alliance osnovat će upravljački ured u Singapuru. Tu je odluku donio izvršni odbor u čijem su sastavu izvršni direktori 26 avioprijevoznika u članstvu udruge, koji smatraju da će novi centar izvrsnosti biti važna dimenzija u ostvarenju strategije Star Alliancea za poslovanje nakon pandemije koronavirusa i u daljnjoj inovativnosti, otpornosti i agilnosti saveza. Svi sektori poslovanja grade viziju svijeta nakon pandemije, koja će se značajno promijeniti. Zbog globalne reakcije na COVID-19 došlo je i do destabilizacije zrakoplovnoga sektora te je u takvim okvirima donesena odluka da se osigura budućnost Star Alliancea. Star Alliance imat će dva međunarodna centra izvrsnosti. Ured u Singapuru upotpunit će rad dugogodišnjeg ureda u Frankfurtu, a bavit će se ponajprije unapređenjem strategije digitalnog iskustva putnika. Dvije članice saveza, Lufthansa i Singapore Airlines, uspostavile su inovacijske centre u Singapuru, što je dodatna prednost u promicanju ključnih inovacija u digitalnom iskustvu korisnika. Star Alliance to set up a centre of excellence in Singapore Star Alliance is setting up a management office in the city-state of Singapore later this year. This decision was taken by its Chief Executive Board, comprising the Chief Executive Officers of its 26 member airlines, who concluded that a new centre of excellence will be an important dimension in implementing and delivering Star Alliance’s post-Coronavirus business strategy, and in furthering the Alliance’s innovativeness, resilience and agility. All business sectors are developing a vision of a post-pandemic world, which has been fundamentally changed by COVID-19. Due to the associated disruption to global networks, the aviation sector has been destabilised. Given such circumstances, a decision was made to ensure the future of Star Alliance. Star Alliance will maintain two centres of excellence internationally. The Singapore office will complement the work done at the Alliance’s long-standing office in Frankfurt and will primarily focus on advancing the Alliance’s digital customer experience strategy. Two members of Star Alliance, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines, have set up innovation hubs in Singapore, another benefit as the Alliance continues to promote ground-breaking innovations in the domain of digital customer experience.

Dobili smo nacionalnu oznaku sigurnosti − Safe stay in Croatia

inistarstvo turizma i sporta i Hrvatska turistička zajednica sredinom veljače pokrenuli su kampanju za nacionalnu oznaku Safe stay in Croatia, koja domaćim i stranim turistima jamči da se u Hrvatskoj primjenjuju zdravstveni i sigurnosni protokoli, što je za vrijeme globalne pandemije koronavirusa iznimno važno. Nacionalnu oznaku sigurnosnih protokola u turizmu i ugostiteljstvu Safe stay in Croatia dobila je i naša kompanija, a oznaka našim putnicima jamči da smo usvojili nacionalne i svjetske standarde zdravstvene i higijenske zaštite te siguran let do željenog odredišta. Oznaku dodjeljuje Ministarstvo turizma i sporta, koje i nadzire njezinu primjenu. Protokoli su usklađeni s preporukama Hrvatskog zavoda za javno zdravstvo (HZJZ) i Svjetskog vijeća za putovanja i turizam. Oznaka uključuje i naljepnicu s QR kodom koja vodi na posebnu internetsku stranicu www.safestayincroatia.hr, na kojoj se mogu pretraživati svi dionici turističkog sektora koji nose oznaku Safe stay in Croatia, pronaći relevantne informacije o zdravstvenim i sigurnosnim protokolima u sedam osnovnih kategorija te informacije kako postupiti u slučaju sumnje na zarazu virusom COVID-19.

Uvođenje ove oznake iznimno je važno u brendiranju Hrvatske kao sigurne destinacije te se nastavlja na prošlogodišnju oznaku Safe Travels Svjetskog vijeća za putovanja i turizam (WTTC) za lakše prepoznavanje destinacija i kompanija koje poštuju globalne standardizirane protokole za zdravlje i higijenu. U tu se inicijativu odmah uključilo i naše Ministarstvo turizma i sporta te je usuglašavanje sigurnosnih protokola bio jedan od prvih zadataka Savjeta za oporavak i razvoj turizma, realizaciju turističke 2021. godine i unapređenje turističke ponude. Uvjereni smo da će se uz pridržavanje sigurnosnih mjera održati povoljna epidemiološka situacija u našoj zemlji te da ćemo i ove godine, povezujući domaće i strane destinacije, sigurno prevesti mnoge turiste te im omogućiti ugodan boravak u željenoj destinaciji. Također, vjerujemo da smo dobivanjem oznake Safe stay in Croatia pridonijeli pozicioniranju Hrvatske kao sigurne europske destinacije.  We’ve been awarded Croatia’s national label of safety − Safe Stay in Croatia

n mid-February, Croatia’s Ministry of Tourism and Sport, and the Croatian National Tourist Board launched a campaign for Croatia’s national label of safety − Safe

Stay in Croatia. The label is a guarantee that health and safety protocols are implemented in Croatia, which is of paramount importance during the global coronavirus pandemic. Our company was also awarded the Safe Stay in Croatia national label of safety. The label’s a guarantee that we have adopted national and international health and safety standards, and that our flights to your desired destination are safe. The Safe Stay in Croatia national label of safety is awarded by the Ministry of Tourism and Sport, which also supervises its implementation. The protocols are in line with the guidelines prescribed by the Croatian Institute of Public Health and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). The label also includes a sticker with a QR code that links you to www.safestayincroatia.hr. This website lists all the stakeholders in the tourism sector that have been awarded the Safe Stay in Croatia label, relevant information on health and safety protocols in seven basic holidaying categories and information on what to do in case of a suspected COVID-19 infection. At Croatia Airlines, the sticker with the QR code is displayed in a visible place in all our aircraft and at our points of sale, and is accessible on our website and all our internal communication channels.

Kao jednom od ključnih segmenata društvene odgovornosti naglasak je stavljen na sigurnost i to u svim segmentima našeg poslovanja. Safety − one of the key segments of our corporate social responsibility − is what we place emphasis on in all segments of our business operations. The introduction of the Safe Stay in Croatia national label of safety is extremely important in branding Croatia as a safe destination and builds on WTTC’s Safe Travels label from last year, which was created for travellers to recognise destinations and businesses around the world which have adopted the Safe Travels health and hygiene global standardised protocols. Croatia’s Ministry of Tourism and Sport joined this initiative immediately, and the harmonisation of safety protocols was one of the very first tasks of the Tourism Repair and Development Council, with a view to facilitating and implementing the 2021 tourist season and to bettering the services and products on offer in the tourism sector. We’re convinced that, if the safety guidelines are followed, the public health and safety situation will remain favourable in Croatia and that, by connecting national and foreign destinations, we’ll safely fly many tourists this year, making sure that their stay in the desired destination is as pleasant as possible. We also believe that, by having been awarded the Safe Stay in Croatia national label of safety, we’re helping the positioning of Croatia as a safe European destination. 

COVID-19 ZAŠTITIMO SE Pomozite nam u očuvanju vašeg zdravlja i sigurnosti pridržavajući se sljedećih važnih uputa: - Započnite putovanje samo ako se osjećate zdravo. Imate li povišenu tjelesnu temperaturu, gubitak osjeta njuha i okusa, jaki kašalj i kratki dah te ako je vaše zdravstveno stanje loše molimo vas da odgodite svoje putovanje. - U kabinu zrakoplova unesite što manje ručne prtljage kako biste smanjili fizički kontakt. Ponesite samo osobne i vrijedne stvari dozvoljene veličine (torbice, manje ruksake i torbe za prijenosna računala). - Na svim našim letovima obvezno je nositi vlastitu medicinsku masku preko usta i nosa. Iznimke su moguće samo za djecu mlađu od šest godina i putnike s invaliditetom koji imaju liječničku potvrdu i negativan PCR test koji je izdan do 48 sati prije leta. To se odnosi i na odlazni i na povratni let. - Viziri nisu dopušteni kao zamjena za pokrivala za lice na našim letovima jer ne pružaju adekvatnu zaštitu. Viziri sprečavaju kapljično prenošenje s prednje strane, no protok zraka s bočnih strana i dalje je moguć. - U toaletima u svim našim zrakoplovima na raspolaganju su vam sredstva za dezinfekciju ruku. - Za svakog putnika osigurali smo vlažne maramice kojima možete prebrisati sjedalo (naslon, rukohvate, otvore za ventilaciju i sl.). - Obratite pažnju na sigurnosnu demonstraciju. Čak i ako ne letite prvi put, korisno je pratiti demonstraciju o sigurnosti leta svaki put. - Preporučujemo vam da budete vezani tijekom cijeloga leta. - Usluga na našem letu prilagođena je i pojednostavljena za vrijeme pandemije. - U zrakoplovu nije dopuštena konzumacija vlastitog alkoholnog pića. - Kad kašljete ili kišete, prekrijte usta i nos maramicom ili laktom. - Izbjegavajte bespotrebno dodirivanje površina i korištenje otvora za ventilaciju. - Na nekim međunarodnim letovima potrebno je ispuniti obrazac za prikupljanje podataka o lociranju putnika.

Obrasce PLF (Passenger Locator Form) možete pronaći na našoj web stranici (www.croatiaairlines.com/hr/Vazna-obavijest/Informacije-za-punike-vezane -za-COVID-19/Uvjeti-ulaska-u-drzavu). Molimo da ponesete vlastitu kemijsku olovku za obrasce koje je potrebno ispuniti ručno ili da ih ispunite prije leta te ponesete sa sobom. Za nepraćenu djecu PLF obrazac obvezno je unaprijed ispuniti. - Ne fotografirajte posadu i putnike. Fotografiranje i snimanje u zrakoplovu moguće je jedino uz dopuštenje posade. - Kad izlazite iz zrakoplova, držite minimalnu dopuštenu udaljenost i cijelo vrijeme nosite zaštitnu masku do izlaska iz odredišne zračne luke. - Molimo vas da u svakom trenutku slijedite upute naše posade. Ako se putnik u zrakoplovu ponaša tako da ugrožava zrakoplov, bilo koju osobu ili imovinu u zrakoplovu, zadržavamo pravo stavljanja putnika na crnu listu.

- Hand disinfectants are available in the lavatories of all our aircraft. - We provide each passenger with wet wipes with which to wipe their seat (backrest, armrest, ventilation openings, etc.). - Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing. Even if you’re not flying for the first time, following the pre-flight safety briefing is useful every time. - We recommend that you keep your seat belt fastened throughout the entire flight. - Inflight services have been adjusted and reduced during the pandemic. - The consumption of alcoholic beverages which you take on board with you is not allowed aboard our aircraft. - While coughing or sneezing, make sure you cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or you cough or sneeze into your elbow. - Avoid touching surfaces and using ventilation openings unless necessarily.

COVID-19 HELP US PROTECT YOU Help us protect your health and safety by following these important guidelines: - Start your journey only if you feel healthy. If you have a fever, if you’ve lost your sense of smell and taste, if you’ve got a bad cough or if you’re experiencing shortness of breath, and if your health is poor, please postpone your flight. - Take as little hand luggage as possible into the passenger cabin to reduce physical contact. Take only personal items and valuables of the size allowed (handbags, smaller backpacks and laptop bags). - The wearing of medical face protective mask covering your mouth and nose is mandatory on all our flights, with the exception of children under the age of six and passengers with disabilities who must provide a medical certificate and a negative PCR test issued no more than 48 hours prior to departure. This applies to both outbound and inbound flights. - Visors are not allowed as a substitute for face masks or face covers on our flights because they do not provide adequate protection. Visors prevent the spread of droplets only from the front, but not from the sides of your face.

- On some international flights it is necessary to fill in a Passenger Locator Form. The PLF forms can be found on our web page at https:// m.croatiaairlines.com/Importantnotice/Important-informationabout-COVID-19/Entry-requirements/ We kindly ask you to bring your own pen for the forms that need to be filled in manually or to fill them out before your departure and bring them with you. For unaccompanied minors it is mandatory to fill in this form in advance. - You are not allowed to take photographs of the crew and passengers. You must obtain permission from the crew to take photographs and to film while aboard the aircraft. - While exiting the aircraft, maintain social distancing and wear a face mask or face cover at all times until you exit the airport building. - Please follow the instructions of our crew at all times.
