1
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,900
Hi I'm Laura Alexandra and welcome to Serbia.
2
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,840
I'm exploring this beautiful European country and discovering its rich history,
3
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,100
unique culture and of course its modern-day offerings.
4
00:00:42,980 --> 00:00:48,320
Last time I was in the southwest of Serbia enjoying the mountainous region of Zlatibor
5
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,000
with some action and adventure.
6
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:54,060
I also ventured underground and found the most amazing cave.
7
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:59,460
This time my journey continues to see what northern Serbia has to offer.
8
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:05,360
Whilst I'm on route I'm making a quick stop as there's a UNESCO site that I really want to see.
9
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Monasteries and churches not only represent the history, culture and religion of Serbia,
10
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,080
but they also define the heart, soul and spirit of the Serbian people.
11
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,400
I'm at Manasija monastery, which is perhaps one of the most heavily fortified churches I've ever seen.
12
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,560
With these walls it's no surprise that it's one of the last monuments of Serbian medieval culture.
13
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,960
Hi you must be Daya?
14
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,300
Yes, welcome to the monastery Manasija.
15
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:33,960
Thank you so much, it looks so impressive I mean there's a fortress, there’s a church.
16
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,000
You'll like it here?
17
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,500
I love it here tell me a little bit about the history?
18
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:44,360
Monastery Manasija is one of the most important historical monuments in Serbian medieval culture.
19
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,080
It's as you can see the Serbian Orthodox Church surrounded by eleven towers.
20
00:01:50,080 --> 00:02:01,660
The construction of monastery Manasija lasted 11 years, from 1407 till 1418. It was during 11 years
21
00:02:01,660 --> 00:02:05,240
and we have symbol of number 11 everywhere.
22
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:13,440
It was during 11 years, we have 11 towers around us and the most famous is one that’s called Despot tower.
23
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:20,060
Despot Stefan Lazarević is very important historical person and this is his endowment.
24
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:29,600
He was a great man a great patron of art and culture and he supported and sheltered a lot of scholars from
25
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:35,900
Serbia and exiles from other countries around Serbia, who was held by Ottoman Turks.
26
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:38,260
Wow I mean there's so much to learn about this place
27
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:41,200
I'd love to see a little bit more can you show me around please?
28
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,760
of course
29
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,300
let's go.
30
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:43,080
Shall we?
31
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,300
So can you tell me a little bit more about the Church of the Holy Trinity?
32
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:07,340
Yes as you have already said the church is dedicated to Holy Trinity, so very interesting thing is that the
33
00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:14,900
Republic of Serbia declared the church and the tower as cultural monument of exceptional importance,
34
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:22,580
and also the both of them are wearing the design of World Heritage protected by UNESCO.
35
00:03:22,580 --> 00:03:24,680
Wow that's pretty impressive let's go inside.
36
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,360
Let's go.
37
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,800
This is so impressive.
38
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,720
Yeah so here we are these are the most famous frescoes from the medieval century. It is actually the
39
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:54,920
frescoes that whole world had a chance to see it. These are the only the rests of the frescoes before
40
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:02,620
during the history these walls used to be all covered with frescoes but after two attacks on Christianity,
41
00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:09,900
the first one the Turkish people, after that the Communists, we managed to save only this part of
42
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:19,500
frescoes. If you look about here there is the first famous fresco. It's God's hands that are holding
43
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:30,340
the babies. The babies represent the clear souls of people. Next one here on the left side is the fresco
44
00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:37,860
of Despot Stefan Lazarević in its original size and everywhere where the yellow colour is, it used to
45
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:48,440
be a gold but they scratch it from the wall. If you look forward on the left and the right side, there are
46
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:55,940
six warriors and it's the famous fresco that you can find on many photos from the monastery.
47
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:14,900
The gardens and the ruins are just so incredibly well kept here aren't they? It's just absolutely beautiful.
48
00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:16,560
And peaceful I would say.
49
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,360
Yeah really peaceful around here as well
50
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,920
Well listen Daya, thank you so, so much for showing me around it's been really good, so nice to see you
51
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,860
It's really been a pleasure to have you here and I hope that you will come again.
52
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:31,980
I definitely will thank you so much Daya.
53
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:32,480
Goodbye.
54
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,860
I'm back on the road again continuing with the beautiful journey North.
55
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,860
We pass Belgrade and approached the city of Novi Sad.
56
00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:50,400
On route we're taking a break to check out a town that has become something of a tourist hotspot.
57
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,540
Sremski Karlovci is a small town just ten minutes outside of Novi Sad.
58
00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:04,480
It's famous for its oldest school of the Serbs and also has a nice story about a fountain.
59
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,360
I'm off to meet my tour guide Sergen to find out more.
60
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:10,940
Hi Serge good to see you again.
61
00:06:10,940 --> 00:06:13,040
Hello Laura good to see you.
62
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480
Lets have a chat about where we are now, what's this behind us?
63
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:21,160
Oh we’re in the town of Sremski Karlovci, which became very important for the Serbian people
64
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:29,060
after 17th century, and here we have the second largest and second oldest orthodox seminary in Europe
65
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:29,840
Wow!
66
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:34,840
After one in Ukraine. This is like a museum in the open, this city, and I would love to show you more.
67
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:35,860
Let's go
68
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:36,540
yeah
69
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:49,400
You see this place is really popular with tourists.
70
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,620
I can see that
71
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:57,780
Even with school children as well because this is the place to come to learn about the history of this country.
72
00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:06,720
Sremski Karlovci became like a capital of Serbs outside of Serbia. Well in 17th century there was one great war
73
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,080
between Austria and the Ottoman Empire, Serbs supported the Austrians, Austrians lost the war,
74
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,640
and in fear of Turkish reprisals about 120 thousand people came from Serbia to here, led by the Patriarch
75
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,120
of the Serbian Orthodox Church. And then Austrian authorities gave them this place to become their
76
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:32,020
capital in exile, so the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church moved here. Serbs built their cathedral,
77
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:37,920
which is the most important southern church in this part of today, our country, but at that time was
78
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:46,280
south Hungary. And then they were building this place following traditions of Europe, they were going to
79
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:52,340
Europe seeing what they liked and building things here and one of the nicest is this beautiful fountain.
80
00:07:52,340 --> 00:07:59,960
Let me show you there are some stories about the fountain, which are perhaps interest interesting for
81
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:09,440
our guests. You see it is a belief that if you drink from this fountain you will return to this cute place and
82
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:18,420
the other thing is even more, especially if you're single and you drink from a certain pipe, then your bride
83
00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:25,140
or groom will come from that part of the city and you'll marry him. Now the catch is to know which is the
84
00:08:25,140 --> 00:08:29,960
richest part of the city so drink from which one of these four pipes.
85
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,820
I like it very tactical.
86
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:48,420
This is Branko, a pupil of the grammar school who went on to become one of the most loved Serbian poets
87
00:08:48,420 --> 00:08:56,780
ever. We are very proud of Branko and his poetry and the grammar school itself is still, even though the first
88
00:08:56,780 --> 00:09:03,120
and the oldest one of the Serbs, is still one of the best grammar schools in the country. Long tradition
89
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:10,320
and a number of great, great students, that later on influenced the life, culture, education of this nation.
90
00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:12,720
And is it still open still?
91
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,080
Yes open still, still open, still very active.
92
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,260
You know what I know we're on school grounds right now but could we get a drink?
93
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:22,220
Oh of course certainly let's go.
94
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:35,220
I'm here at the wine and honey museum with Borcan whose family has a long-standing tradition of making
95
00:09:35,220 --> 00:09:41,240
honey in the region. But before I find out too much about honey I want to delve in to the actual process
96
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,700
of making a drink that's popular here Bermet, so Borca can you tell me more?
97
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:53,860
Yes this is a unique wine in the region and the only few families working this type of wine here. But for many
98
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:59,140
century’s we working this type of wine and the first documents for this type wine is the 18th century.
99
00:09:59,140 --> 00:10:06,060
First Serbian author Milan Lang writing for his book for wine, experience winemaker is a name, and he, he said
100
00:10:06,060 --> 00:10:14,960
this is medical medicinal wine. Many century after that we have same story for this type of wine but family
101
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:20,520
is, after Second World War, stopped to producing this type of wine. You have here socialism is you know,
102
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:26,740
cheap wine and they're not good like Bermet, but nineteen years ago we start again to working this type
103
00:10:26,740 --> 00:10:34,300
wine. We work this type of wine with the 27 different herbs, spices and fruits. We open the oak barrel and
104
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:41,960
inside put everything inside, with the herbs and spices in, using raisins and dried grape inside, long maturation
105
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:50,060
dry grape. And we have natural sweet wine 90, 100 grams of natural sugar inside with a stronger alcohol.
106
00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:58,220
We have another fermentation with a 16, 17 percent alcohol, of course we are small, we are small
107
00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:05,860
production and we have only a few thousand litres, this type wine in a year, and we sell only here and we sell
108
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:07,280
everything here of course.
109
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,300
Can you tell us though a little it more about the making process of Bermet?
110
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:21,600
This is very, very, very hard job and we must use different elements. And when we put in the oak barrel
111
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:31,340
we must do it a few months and after that wine must to stay maybe, minimum like one year. And after that we
112
00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:38,320
work in filtration and using clean, clean Bermet we can put in a in a in a bottle and of course in a glass
113
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,520
And speaking of which could we try some?
114
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Yes, yes, yeah
115
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,440
So tell us a little bit about this then? What's going into here at the moment this is 27 herbs isn't it?
116
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,160
Yes
117
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,880
Does this need to oxygenate? Does this needs to oxidize?
118
00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:05,620
Yes is that, we have a long maturation and after long maturation we have a good, a very, very, very, hard
119
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:17,100
and but a different, is a soft smell. But you can see we have very, very, very strong colour for a red of course.
120
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:25,340
This is a wine for, for dessert, after dinner, after lunch, a small glass. Okay we have now big, but this is small
121
00:12:25,340 --> 00:12:29,040
quantity inside and you can smell and enjoy.
122
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:36,540
It's absolutely lovely, I mean the thing about this as well, it's quite spicy and I'm finding myself trying to
123
00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:41,780
actually guess the 27 herbs that are in here because, it is absolutely delicious.
124
00:12:41,780 --> 00:12:48,560
Yes after, after a few, few small glass you can feel better this is medical wine.
125
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,240
You know what?
126
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:49,920
Yes.
127
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,880
I think I'm starting to feel better already to be honest.
128
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,480
Well we've tried the wine, which is lovely can we go and find out a little bit more about honey?
129
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,900
Yes of course
130
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:02,100
But first Živeli
131
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:03,380
Živeli, cheers
132
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:11,960
Whilst we await the honey I take a look around the museum, which is filled with beekeeping tools,
133
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,100
machines, and of course old beehives.
134
00:13:15,340 --> 00:13:20,840
It's well organized and the family's long association with beekeeping is on display for all to see.
135
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:29,240
We have here ready for a tasting, like three different honeys. One is a pure honey and is the meadow,
136
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:38,180
different flowers everything inside is very good. After that the yellow colour is we put everything in beehive,
137
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:45,420
we put in a bottle inside. We have poland propolis, royal jelly with two different honey pure honey. One
138
00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:53,240
is a meadow and one is a linden tree. And brown colour is delicious this is a sesame honey
139
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,280

There you go there's your spoon, let's have a little taste of this. See what me and Serge actually think.
143
00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:11,540
This looks like sort of the normal honey that I would buy in the UK this particular one.
144
00:14:11,540 --> 00:14:15,900
Yeah but this honey working much-
145
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,400
Wow that is really sweet
146
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:26,600
This is really not industrial honey you know my father, old beekeeper working this honey, and very, very

00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,460
small quantity and we sell only honey in this, in this, my house.

00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:45,740
Next is Apicomplexa, so the pole and propolis, royal jelly, a very good for health, for energy, for immunity

151
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,480
That is the tastiest medicine
152
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,040
Yes.
153
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,040
I've ever had
154
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,740
Yes, one glass in a day but in very small quantity few times in a day is a very good for health.
155
00:15:04,740 --> 00:15:05,940
Mmmm
156
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:09,060
I like that one. I really like that one!
157
00:15:09,060 --> 00:15:14,380
And brown colour you see it's a sesame, sesame honey.
158
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:18,860
Okay we'll dig into this one then, what's your most popular one?
159
00:15:18,860 --> 00:15:23,100
Apicomplexa maybe the most popular and sesame is the same.
160
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:30,740
It's a specific, specifically different and very nice taste, different tastes and very popular here.
161
00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:32,080
I really like that
162
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,100
Yes I know
163
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,960
It's really quite a different taste, I've never tasted any honey like that to be honest,
164
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,860
Yes.
165
00:15:38,860 --> 00:15:46,100
But you can really taste this sesame in there. And the interesting thing is it could go, I'm already thinking
166
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:51,920
about where it could go, like for me on toast in the morning, maybe into a cake recipe
167
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:59,500
A little bread and you can put it on a little bread or only clean you can eat is this for everything
168
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:04,140
I know that Serge just put his spoon back in there but I'm gonna keep on eating this because I think I'm gonna
169
00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:07,960
actually go to the gift shop and buy myself some of this, this is my absolute favourite.
170
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,540
Yes
171
00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:09,720
I love this
172
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,280
Enjoy
173
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Thank you so much
174
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,220
You're welcome
175
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:17,480
Filled up with wine and honey I'm back on the road again.
176
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,360
Sergen is with me and he's recommending we make another quick stop to see a monastery,
177
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,200
that is a particular favourite of his.
178
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:33,180
Hey welcome to 16th century monastery of Krušedol,
179
00:16:33,180 --> 00:16:41,420
which was built by the last Serbian ever-medieval ruler whose name was Maksim Branković.
180
00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:42,380
Great name
181
00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:48,660
Yeah he built this monastery to be a mausoleum for his family and also an assembly spot for the Serbs in this
182
00:16:48,660 --> 00:16:53,720
area. Inside there is some spectacular art so let's go inside and take a look.
183
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,380
Great.
184
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:17,460
Here we are in Krušedol monastery church, which is famous for its art and imagery. Serbian people are very
185
00:17:17,460 --> 00:17:28,400
proud of their frescoes and in this church we can see the comparison of two different eras, two different
186
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:38,660
styles. On the pillars we have old medieval Byzantine style frescoes, which are early 16th century. It's actually
187
00:17:38,660 --> 00:17:46,620
the last example of that famous Serbian medieval fresco art school. And then unfortunately in 1716 this
188
00:17:46,620 --> 00:17:54,460
beautiful church has suffered from a fire. It was burned by the Turks, the Ottomans, and then they had to
189
00:17:54,460 --> 00:18:02,040
repaint it again and 200 years later they did this beautiful baroque interior decoration, which now can
190
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:09,280
make us compare the two styles. Do you know what is the difference between an icon and a painting?
191
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,460
No I don't actually, tell me
192
00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:20,160
Well the painting is there to induce just an emotion in a viewer, while the icon is there to broadcast the spiritual
193
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:26,480
message and, if you look together to these two examples of the two styles, what would you say?
194
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,560
Is this the strongest spiritual messenger?
195
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,160
Or those ones?
196
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,370
I probably say this one he looks more like something like he's got a serious face more
197
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:38,876
character in him somehow.
198
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,460
I couldn't agree more
199
00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:45,580
Yes! But that's more sort of colourful I mean it's all so vibrant isn't it in here.
200
00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:52,820
It's very vibrant, very saturated colours. It is believed the Serbian medieval fresco master painters had
201
00:18:52,820 --> 00:18:58,480
certain knowledge about the composition of the colour. How to make them very durable and very vivid.
202
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,120
After centuries they're still there they're not washed out.
203
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:06,640
Serge there's so much to see in here is there anything else to point out to me?
204
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:13,620
Yes first of all we have mortal remains of Maksim Branković, which the founder of the church, still here.
205
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:23,720
And then we can see over there is where our first modern King, King Milan from 19th century is buried.
206
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,600
Just under one hour from Belgrade, and on the outskirts of Serbia’s second largest city Novi Sad,
207
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:41,440
lies Fruška Gora National Park. A bird-watching paradise in the province of Vojvodina, with its
208
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:49,180
vineyards, and most famously 17 monasteries, it's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
209
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,240
The Fruška Gora National Park, with the greatest concentration of linden trees in Europe stretches east
210
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,200
to west touching the Danube River at Sremski Karlovci.
211
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:04,780
It's popular with hikers, cyclists, nature lovers and those looking for a bit of culture.
212
00:20:04,780 --> 00:20:07,800
But unfortunately I'll have to experience this another time.
213
00:20:08,660 --> 00:20:11,900
I finally arrived in the lively university city of Novi Sad.
214
00:20:13,540 --> 00:20:20,120
Once here you can't help but notice one of the prime symbols of the city, the fortress of Petrovaradin.
215
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:24,800
With its monumental architecture, underground galleries and mazes of tunnels,
216
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,640
it's certainly an impressive sight.
217
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:34,340
The fortress is also home to one of the biggest music festivals in the world, the EXIT festival.
218
00:20:34,340 --> 00:20:38,880
This has earned global recognition for its diversity and cutting-edge music.
219
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:44,020
I'm with the founder of EXIT Festival here in Serbia, Dušan thank you so much for joining me.
220
00:20:44,020 --> 00:20:44,920
Thank you for coming
221
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,080
Now tell me a little bit about the history and background of EXIT Festival.
222
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,860
EXIT started as a youth movement for peace and freedom in Serbia back almost 20 years ago.
223
00:20:52,860 --> 00:21:00,780
And firstly we grew to one of the biggest music festivals in the world and as we started from social
224
00:21:00,780 --> 00:21:08,100
activism, social work is still very important for us. We do multiple of projects throughout the year, from
225
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:15,920
humanitarian projects like gathering hundreds of thousand Euros for children care in Serbia, to
226
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:24,000
some process that we for instance run the candidacy for European cultural capital for Novi Sad, and we won
227
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:33,000
the bonnet for 2021. So basically we are combining the best music and the best atmosphere, at one of the best
228
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:40,820
music festivals and the social activism. And that is actually how it all started back in the days, with the
229
00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:47,520
Woodstock in Summer of Love, and we are one of the few festivals that really cherish our
230
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,660
origins and how it all started.
231
00:21:49,660 --> 00:21:52,700
So what big names have played EXIT before?
232
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:58,980
We actually are also one of the artists most loved festival. They all have to come here because of the
233
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:06,340
special atmosphere and really a unique place and the setting of the fortress. That we are now, we have the
234
00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:15,420
almost every big name that is out there. Like last year we had The Killers, Liam Gallagher, we had Snoop Dog,
235
00:22:15,420 --> 00:22:22,420
we had Prodigy, Jamiroquai, Moby and every big DJ in the world. I don't think that there is any big DJ in the
236
00:22:22,420 --> 00:22:28,380
world that didn't play EXIT. From the mainstream names like Guetta, Garrix, Hardwell and such names.
237
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:34,760
Down to more underground names like you know Nina Kraviz, Richie Hawtin, everybody Salomun. Everybody
238
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:40,080
really, everybody. Especially in electronic music, our dance arena is known as probably one of the
239
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,800
best electronic stages in the world.
240
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,180
Well listen Dušan, it's been an absolute pleasure to chat here. I can literally chat to you all day
241
00:22:47,180 --> 00:22:49,220
but I need to explore more of your city.
242
00:22:49,220 --> 00:22:50,460
Yes, you sure do
243
00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:51,600
So thank you so much,
244
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,240
Thank you
245
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,540
and I'm definitely coming to EXIT festival.
246
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:03,220
I'm in Serbia's second largest city Novi Sad. it's a modern city with such a rich and varied culture
247
00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:08,280
that it has even won the European city of culture award for 2021.
248
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,900
Hi you must be my tour guide for Novi Sad? I'm Laura.
249
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:15,960
Hello Laura my name is Tihana, welcome to Novi Sad second largest city in Serbia.
250
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:22,940
So we are met here in the city centre in front of City Hall where you can see that this is a multicultural,
251
00:23:22,940 --> 00:23:30,760
multilingual, multi-religious city. As such here on the table you can see that we are speaking four official
252
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:39,300
languages Hungarian, Slovakian, Rusyn and also in Serbian language, in two letters please write that she
253
00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:46,780
really can learn Latin words. And there is also one more table we're showing, connected actually Twin Cities
254
00:23:46,780 --> 00:23:49,240
and Norwich City is also on that table.
255
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,940
Really?
256
00:23:49,940 --> 00:23:57,640
Yes this is most important building on the city square. We have a multicultural city, so here lives more than 20
257
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:07,780
nationalities and we really live together, connect with each other. We have a Catholic Church, Orthodox
258
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:16,180
Church, Synagogue, Slovakian Greek Church Orthodox Church. So there is a lot of churches, 500 meters from
259
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:23,760
each other and people go in all of these churches just to see tradition and to see the culture of the other
260
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:34,320
religious, and here you can see the influence of trading period of the city from Austro-Hungarian Empire.
261
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,020
There is a lot of influence.
262
00:24:36,020 --> 00:24:39,840
Well thank you so much for telling me, that it sounds so interesting. But there's so much more to explore,
263
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,020
can we go and see the rest of the city?
264
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:42,540
Of course, yes let's go
265
00:24:53,600 --> 00:25:02,820
So this is a mini shopping centre area, this is the main city street and here are coming people to shopping and
266
00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:09,920
also you are going to see a lot of cafes. People are sitting around during the day, enjoying the architecture,
267
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:20,500
enjoying the vivid of the city and it's also very interesting because, it's in all architect style
268
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:27,040
and people can shop everything, books, clothes, shoes.
269
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:28,840
Fabrics even.
270
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,800
Yes fabrics
271
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,460
How about art as well?
272
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:40,940
Yeah there is a lot of art here, there is passages, which is also very interesting and specialty for city centre
273
00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:48,520
and that's the main, one of the main reason Novi Sad is proclaimed as a city of culture, Europe Capital of
274
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Culture for 2021. And of course as you can see people love sitting here drinking coffee
275
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,280
so we love to drink a coffee
276
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,440
Oh I was going to say, do you kind of come to the square and start people watching here?
277
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:15,580
Yes, yes during the night there is a lot of young coming here, and enjoying drinking wine, beer and coffee too.
278
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:29,000
It's so lovely around here, I know what you mean now about people watching, it's really tempting to do isn't it?
279
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:36,320
Yes but people like to sit and enjoying the day, sun as we do.
280
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,760
Yep, it's lovely and there's so many different age groups as well I've seen around here you know, from
281
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,280
families playing to kind of like couples going shopping.
282
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,820
Yeah, very nice.
283
00:26:47,823 --> 00:26:49,573
Well listen, let's sit back and relax shall we
284
00:26:49,570 --> 00:26:51,300
Yeah, yeah, cheers
285
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:06,600
This is a park, then you park at the end of the pedestrian zone, and people have to come here to
286
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:13,300
refresh, to enjoy and of course in the summertime there is a lot of street musicians.
287
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:21,700
So we have a street musician festival in city of Novi Sad, of course there is some part of film festival,
288
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:31,320
there is some also exhibitions and events held here during a year and what is interesting is that during the
289
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,340
winter time there is a Ice circle, so people go to Ice Skating
290
00:27:36,340 --> 00:27:37,740
Like an ice rink here on the pond?
291
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:45,160
Yeah an Ice Rink, the next to the lake. And of course people with family, people with the children, so family
292
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:52,320
comes here at the evening. So people, children, enjoy playing and feeding the ducks in the lake.
293
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,900
Are there any walks is well round here that we can do?
294
00:27:54,900 --> 00:28:04,300
Yes of course we can walk around the area and sit in the shadow of mostly linden woods.
295
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:08,640
Lovely sounds nice, well on the way into the city I actually spotted something that looked like a fortress
296
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,620
can we go and explore that?
297
00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:10,520
Yeah a very nice place
298
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,060
Let's go
299
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:29,800
So we're here at the fortress
300
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:36,760
Yes this is Petrovaradin Fortress, which is on the Danube River and it is most important historical place
301
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:45,060
in the city. So the Petrovaradin fortress started building at the end of 17th century and it was built almost in
302
00:28:45,060 --> 00:28:54,760
one century, till the almost end of 17th century. And the reason why it was built was to keep her safe and
303
00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:01,340
peace here in Austro-Hungaria, southern side of Austro-Hungarian Empire, from the Ottoman Empire.
304
00:29:01,340 --> 00:29:09,200
Nowadays here held a lot of festivals such as famous EXIT festival, one of the best in whole Europe,
305
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:16,220
here comes for EXIT festival more than 60 countries all over the world. They're enjoying all the stages, music
306
00:29:16,220 --> 00:29:23,400
and there is also a lot of art galleries, restaurants, very nice hotel, clubs, cafes,
307
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,840
people really like to come here to enjoy.
308
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,860
Now you just mentioned art galleries can we go and actually see some art?
309
00:29:28,860 --> 00:29:29,980
Oh yes of course let's go.
310
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,240
So there's lots of galleries, how many are there? Per, you know are they every couple of metres?
311
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:55,000
Every couple of meters there is different type of art, so people really can enjoy. What is important to say is that
312
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:02,180
people can go for free inside, to speak with the artists, to meet with them, to chit chat about the history of
313
00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:15,400
Petrovaradin Fortress, about the history of that galleries, exhibitions of course there have an colony,
314
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:22,080
a fine art circle, so there is a lot of things happening here during the year.
315
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,640
I love the fact that it looks like there's an artist here as well let's have a look in this one
316
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,840
Probably the artist having rest.
317
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,120
Thank you so much for showing me around Tihana,
318
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,140
I've had such a lovely time wish I had longer in Novi Sad but I'll be back.
319
00:30:42,140 --> 00:30:47,340
I'll be waiting for you and I hope you enjoy next time as much as this time.
320
00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:48,560
Definitely thank you.
321
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:05,460
Tonight I'm having dinner at a Salish restaurant just outside of Novi Sad of which, there's many in the area.
322
00:31:05,460 --> 00:31:13,000
This one is called Salish 137. A Salish restaurant is a farm that makes home-cooked food, and like this one,
323
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,860
many of them have accommodation as well.
324
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,360
The restaurant certainly ooze character and the atmosphere here is electric,
325
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,920
the locals sure know how to enjoy themselves.
326
00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:34,060
I caught up with the owner Alexander to find out more .
327
00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:36,880
Alexander thank you so much for having us here at the restaurant
328
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,620
I mean can you tell us a little bit more about Salish food?
329
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:46,300
Actually the food is completely local and we are living in Volvodina and Volvodina is a huge picture of
330
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:52,600
the nations. So let's say this is a melting pot, the cuisine on Salish is cuisine that people were eating 200
331
00:31:52,600 --> 00:32:00,060
years ago. And that cuisine, if you're looking what is it inside, is a huge mixture of the influences of the region.
332
00:32:00,060 --> 00:32:02,620
Also there is some influence of Mediterranean cuisine here.
333
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:10,860
Here on Salish 137, which means farm 137, we are trying to produce as much food as possible.
334
00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:16,000
We are buying the local food from the people living nearby us, and we are producing the old stuff and the
335
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:23,180
foods that the people were eating here let's say 200 years ago. Of course we have all types of the meat,
336
00:32:23,180 --> 00:32:29,380
we actually have a productions of the sausages, of the pancetta, and the hams, and everything.
337
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:34,560
Every November, December we organise that because we want to have food that we can produce here
338
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,920
for our guests.
339
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,160
So what else is there for tourists to do around here? There's accommodation isn't there?
340
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:45,340
Yeah, we do have 15 rooms and sun and children's playground. We do have a horse club so they can go on
341
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:51,740
the horses, they can enjoy chariots, and they can do whatever they want. Normally on the first day they do
342
00:32:51,740 --> 00:32:55,060
nothing, they just come to eat, sit and enjoy the music.
343
00:32:55,060 --> 00:33:01,200
Obviously second day is the day to do some local activities and they enjoy in the nature, we are
344
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,920
completely surrounded in nature, and we do try to organize few of the things every year,
345
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,040
which are like regular manifestations here.
346
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,860
And how about your menu as well I mean does it change all the time?
347
00:33:12,860 --> 00:33:18,800
Yes, menu seasonal of course, we have game dishes when there is a period for the hunters, where they
348
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:24,640
go hunting. We have some dishes that we will offer in autumn or in the winter, also we do have some other,
349
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,500
some other food that we can offer in the summer time.
350
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:32,020
So there are few things that you can you can eat all year round and there are a lot of things that we are
351
00:33:32,020 --> 00:33:36,420
offering in the season. Depends what are the fruits and what are the plants that we can pick up.
352
00:33:36,420 --> 00:33:40,740
The food looks so yummy Alexander, I think I'm gonna tuck in right now
353
00:33:40,740 --> 00:33:42,140
Enjoy yourself please
354
00:33:44,860 --> 00:33:48,480
If I'd have known what was coming next I probably wouldn't have eaten so much.
355
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:51,760
Oh.
356
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:54,720
What am I doing?
357
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:56,000
Dance
358
00:33:57,820 --> 00:33:58,320
Okay
359
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,660
I don't know what I'm doing, I literally don't know the steps
360
00:34:11,820 --> 00:34:12,960
Wooooo
361
00:34:21,020 --> 00:34:22,240
It's so random
362
00:34:27,780 --> 00:34:28,760
Thank you, thank you
363
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,560
Thank you
364
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:36,640
Having explored Novi Sad I'm now moving on to Subotica.
365
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,640
Serge is with me to tell me more about this vibrant city.
366
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:50,000
Subotica is located just 20 km from the Hungarian border. It's also around about one hour's drive from
367
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:57,100
Novi Sad. The city actually blends Hungarian, Croatian and Serbian culture and architecture and it's also got a
368
00:34:57,100 --> 00:35:01,360
Lake that you can do activities on and around called Lake Palić.
369
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,940
Right now is Serge to tell me a bit more.
370
00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:04,580
Hi.
371
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:06,580
Hello Laura we meet again
372
00:35:06,580 --> 00:35:08,700
I know, can you tell me a little bit about this place?
373
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:15,600
Yes! We are in the cities essential square, which is called Liberty Square. Subotica is famous for its
374
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:22,720
elaborate architecture, but of different styles. If you just look around us we will see that in this nice pedestrian
375
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:31,760
zone the first very building, on the left over there, is in neo-gothic style. And then we have classic national
376
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:39,560
theatre, which is on the process of renovations; the exterior was recently fully restored.
377
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Then we have a yellowish building at the end of the square, which initially was built to be a gathering place
378
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:55,300
of the high society of Subotica, with their private functions. And then later 19th century building done
379
00:35:55,300 --> 00:36:04,760
in the neo-baroque style, became the city library. And the highlight of this beautiful city centre is Subotica’s
380
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:13,700
town hall, which is considered to be one of the nicest, most beautiful buildings in all of Serbia and a real pearl
381
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:21,800
of Hungarian secession, architectural style, also known as Hungarian branch of Art Nouveau.
382
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,020
Can we go and see it?
383
00:36:23,020 --> 00:36:24,290
Yes it will be my pleasure
384
00:36:24,290 --> 00:36:24,940
Excellent
385
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,640
Before we go in I would love to tell you a little bit more about this massive building.
386
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:49,300
Look they built it in only four years, imagine, they needed two years to make the general construction
387
00:36:49,300 --> 00:36:55,480
and then two more years for very beautiful inside, interior decoration.
388
00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:04,740
Now the style of this building, Hungarian secession, as you can see is full of beautiful floral motifs and
389
00:37:04,740 --> 00:37:15,600
we call that folklore elements, and Hungarian romantic nationalism. That was the time when many nations
390
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:23,620
in Europe were experiencing their awakening and strengthening of national feelings, and they were
391
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:29,640
expressing that through their culture, through their art. And that's why Hungarian people decided to decorate
392
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:35,560
this building in their folklore tradition and using only domestic materials that they could find in
393
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:43,160
the surroundings. When it comes to interior decoration however, even though I believe this already has been
394
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:50,160
a surprise for you, what you will see inside perhaps is even going to be a step further.
395
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,340
Let's go inside.
396
00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:51,840
Okay.
397
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,360
Wow just look how impressive this is?
398
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:05,480
Isn't it but you haven't seen all over it yet.
399
00:38:06,140 --> 00:38:08,660
That's very true actually, can you tell me a little bit about it?
400
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:17,160
Yes this is the finest example in all of Serbia of the interior decoration done in the style of Art Nouveau.
401
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:24,440
It's not any Art Nouveau it's also known as the Hungarian secession. It's a branch of Art Nouveau
402
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:32,040
where we have these floral elements, folklore romanticism of the Hungarian people.
403
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:37,120
It's very unique for population of Hungarians that we have here in Subotica.
404
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,060
And it's very beautiful as well can we go and explore a bit further?
405
00:38:40,060 --> 00:38:45,780
Oh yes let's take a look at the council hall, which is the real pearl.
406
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,000
Wow this is amazing isn't it?
407
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,140
Absolutely
408
00:38:59,140 --> 00:39:00,240
Tell me a little bit about this?
409
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:09,880
Look we are now in so-called the Grand Hall, it's also a debating chamber for the local Parliament of the city
410
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:18,740
of Subotica and look at this beautiful interior decoration. We call it a pearl of Hungarian secession;
411
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:29,040
at that time when this was built in 1908 this was part of Hungary. Subotica was a big, strong, enriched city
412
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:37,600
obviously, and the stained glass windows here have a lineage of Hungarian kings.
413
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:44,240
The person who made these stained glass windows, is the same one that made stained glass windows for the
414
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:51,440
house of parliament in Budapest in Hungary. So obviously the local community here could afford such
415
00:39:51,440 --> 00:40:03,380
a rich, lavish, council, debating hall. Today this is a multicultural City, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, it has
416
00:40:03,380 --> 00:40:11,820
a big Hungarian population still, also Serbian and Croatian and all of them are today representing their
417
00:40:11,820 --> 00:40:18,520
communities in this debating chamber. And as you can see over there we have a number of flags, not only flags
418
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:29,360
of Serbia but also flags of these local communities of the place. So we may say that politicians of Subotica
419
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:38,420
have a pleasure to have their meetings in the best looking, nicest, debating hall of Serbia.
420
00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:44,100
Well Subotica has amazing architecture here but what are people actually doing in their spare time?
421
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:50,760
Oh for that we will need to go a little bit out of the city to the lake and its surroundings.
422
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:07,320
Lake Palić is 8 km from Subotica. The actual lake itself covers 3.8 km squared and there's loads of activities
423
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,440
to do here like sailing, water sports, and even driving electric boats.
424
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,400
Serge tell us a little bit more about the lake?
425
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:23,680
Oh the lake Palić is a natural lake and that same year when they opened the city hall of 1912,
426
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,820
this beautiful resort has been built and opened.
427
00:41:27,820 --> 00:41:37,140
The lake itself still today attracts many people because it's very nice to walk on this promenade here, enjoy
428
00:41:37,140 --> 00:41:46,700
all the activities that you mentioned, but also there is a film festival in Palić, which is perhaps among the top
429
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:50,880
three, top five in Serbia, it's a European Film Festival.
430
00:41:52,060 --> 00:42:01,880
Palić is a host of many art exhibitions and similar cultural events. There is a camping ground on the
431
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:11,180
opposite side and it's in the proximity of the highway, so many people who are travelling through our country
432
00:42:11,180 --> 00:42:18,400
like to stay in Palić for a day or two, just to recharge their batteries and continue with their travel.
433
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:23,280
Serge thank you so much for showing me around it's been so much fun and hopefully I'll see you again soon.
434
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,440
It's been a pleasure.
435
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:48,320
My time in Serbia is almost at an end but I've got time for just one more thing.
436
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,200
A glass of wine at the Zvonko Bogdan winery.
437
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:02,520
I'm here at Zvonko Bogdan distillery and the lovely Dragana is going to tell us a little bit more,
438
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,000
thank you for having me.
439
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,200
Thank you welcome.
440
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,440
And firstly can I ask who Zvonko Bogdan is?
441
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:17,120
Zvonko Bogdan is one famous singer here in Serbia and also in former Yugoslavia. He sings some old,
442
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:28,120
traditional, folk songs typical for Vinarija area and he decides to have winery, so now we produce also wines.
443
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:33,160
And I mean the place is absolutely stunning, it's not like a winery that I've ever been to before,
444
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,080
how big is the winery first?
445
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,800
It covers territory of 5,803 metres.
446
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:41,800
Wow
447
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,920
Yeah, we have about 64 hectares under the vineyards
448
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:52,000
and the wineries surrounded with 17 grape varieties from white grapes we have Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc,
449
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,680
Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, just some Muscat. From red grapes we have one local variety, which is
450
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:04,300
Blue Franca or Blue Frankish, or in English as Limburg also Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
451
00:44:04,300 --> 00:44:08,080
Do you know what? I've seen the place, it's absolutely beautiful. I've loved the stories as well,
452
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,480
can we taste a little bit of the wine?
453
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,420
Please
454
00:44:10,420 --> 00:44:11,420
Excellent
455
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,740
Do we want to taste some white first?
456
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:14,760
Yes sure
457
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,260
Okay, here is serving Sauvignon Blanc.
458
00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:23,200
Typical Sauvignon Blanc, which 13% of alcohol and this is 2016 harvest
459
00:44:24,660 --> 00:44:28,500
Mmm, that's really clean I love that one. Really tasty
460
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:35,180
It's really fresh and fruity. This one is Cuvee or Merlot Cabernet Franc and that Landenberg. That local variety.
461
00:44:35,180 --> 00:44:37,460
And what kind of things do tourist say when they come here?
462
00:44:37,460 --> 00:44:39,960
They must really think this is a unique experience?
463
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,720
Yeah, usually they think that this is a really old building, but it's completely new.
464
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:53,080
So I think the production part we finished it in 2009 and the restaurant part in 2015.
465
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:58,620
So we try to build something new, but to stay in the same style like general the buildings on Palić Lake,
466
00:44:58,620 --> 00:45:04,060
so the winery is built in some that secession style, or in English Art Nouveo style,
467
00:45:04,060 --> 00:45:06,980
it's typical for Palić and for Subotica also.
468
00:45:06,980 --> 00:45:10,400
This red as well, is so rich, I absolutely love it.
469
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,520
Thank you I will join you
470
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:17,240
Excellent! Well thank you so much for showing me around here and telling me a little bit as well, and Živeli.
471
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:18,680
Živeli, cheers.
472
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:29,120
I've had an amazing time here in Serbia. It's a country that's full of contrasts.
473
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,820
It offers loads of things to do, which makes it the perfect location for a city break.
474
00:45:33,820 --> 00:45:38,920
It appeals to those looking for culture and also there are loads of activities to do in the mountains,
475
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,300
the hills and loads of greenery around here. If you are looking for adventure as well,
476
00:45:43,300 --> 00:45:47,320
what's more the people are friendly and it offers exceptional value for money.
477
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:53,300
My advice to you is come here, sample the rich history and varied culture that Serbia has to offer
478
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:56,000
and believe me, you won't be disappointed.
