According to the official Spatial Plan planned for a period between 2021 and 2035, published by the Ministry of Construction, Traffic and Infrastructure, Serbia will get two new international airports – one near Dobanovci, and the second one near Novi Sad, Ekapija reported. Due to the space limitation at the location of the existing airport in Belgrade, a new location is planned some 10 kilometers to the west of the “Nikola Tesla” airport, some 24 kilometers from Belgrade. Very close to the main E70 highway on Grmovac – Dobanovci – Deč route, writes B92. The future complex of the new airport with the 4F code covering an area of about 1,100 hectares, will have three runways, two passenger terminals, two freight terminals, a logistics and free customs zone, modern navigation equipment and a light marking system. Only 15 kilometers from Novi Sad As for Novi Sad, the spatial plan foresees airport location some 15 kilometers southeast of the largest city in the north of Serbia, near the A1 highway, on the Kovilj – Sajkas – Budisava route, covering a total of 300 hectares and a new 4E airport designation. The immediate vicinity of the main international railway road represents a […]
Hundreds of Novak Djokovic supporters staged boisterous street celebrations after the Serbian tennis superstar became the sole record-holder for most weeks overall as the men’s world number one. Djokovic topped the ATP rankings for the 311th week in his career, surpassing Roger Federer’s tally of 310. The 33-year-old’s latest stint at the top of the standings began in February 2020, when he reclaimed top spot from Spain’s Rafael Nadal. Djokovic and his family joined crowds watching fireworks in front of their restaurant in the new part of Belgrade. Main buildings downtown in the Serbian capital were lit with his portrait, including a light show displaying the best moments of his career. Jubilant fans chanted “Nolo, Nolo,” waved Serbian flags, and kept no social distancing despite the coronavirus pandemic. Djokovic had received serious criticism last year for his organisation of the Adria Cup charity tennis tournament in the midst of the pandemic. A number of players, including Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Djokovic himself tested positive for COVID-19 amid a lack of social distancing. At the celebration Djokovic addressed the crowd, saying, “Today is a special day for myself, my family as well as Serbia. Thank you for the success which […]
Five-card draw poker is played with a standard deck of fifty-two cards. Each player is dealt five cards and then has the option to change up to three of his or her cards. The person with the best cards wins the game. It is possible to win with a weak hand (if you bluff everyone else into thinking you have a winning hand-more about that later), but there are nine winning patterns to aim for, in order from best to worst: Royal Flush: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, all of the same suit. Straight Flush: Five cards of the same suit in numerical order. In a tie, the highest value card wins. If they are identical, the pot is shared. The Ace can count high or low, but not both, so for example K, A, 2, 3, 4 isn’t allowed, but A, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10, J, Q, K, A are valid. Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same value. In a tie, the cards with the highest value win. Full House: Three of one value, two of another. If two players have a full house, the higher value of the threesome wins. Flush: Five cards […]
Novak Djokovic has defended his Australian Open crown for the third straight year with a dominant straight sets win over world No. 4 Daniil Medvedev. The world No. 1’s experience was the clear difference, with Djokovic weathering all kinds of challenges to seal the 7-5 6-2 6-2 win, and his ninth Australian Open title. The incredible victory keeps Djokovic’s immaculate Australian Open finals record intact as the Serbian chases down fellow greats Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for total Grand Slam title wins. The loss for Medvedev leaves him winless in his two Grand Slam finals, putting a sour end to what was otherwise an excellent Australian Open campaign for the Russian fourth seed. Up until the loss to Djokovic, Medvedev hadn’t lost to a top 10 ranked player in 20 matches. “It’s a matter of time when you hold a Grand Slam that’s for sure,” a humble Djokovic said of Medvedev in his post-match speech. “If you don’t mind waiting a few more years. “I would like everyone just to appreciate what he has done – (a) 20 match winning streak in the last couple of months. Amazing.” Djokovic was eerily imposing early in the match, racing to a […]
This week, Pfizer is delivering twice less vaccines against COVID-19 to some EU member states than it was agreed This fact contributed to a growing dissatisfaction within the European Union. Romania will thus receive 50 percent of the planned quantities this week, and deliveries will increase gradually, so that Bucharest will receive the agreed quantities only at the end of March, Deputy Health Minister Andrej Baciu told Reuters. The situation is similar in Poland, which received 176.000 doses on Monday, or 50 percent less than expected. The Czech government is also slowing down the vaccination campaign due to procurement problems. “We must expect that there will be a reduction in the number of vaccinations in the next three weeks,” Health Minister Jan Blatný told reporters. The delivery of the Pfizer vaccine will be lower by 15% this week, and by 30% next week. Pfizer pharmaceutical company told Bulgaria and Poland that it would make up for the missing doses. However, the Danish Serum Institute announced that 50 percent less doses this week will lead to a 10 percent reduction in the first quarter. Officials in these countries say the reduction in supplies undermines their efforts to implement mass vaccination. Italy […]
President Vučić attended ceremony of laying the foundation stone for the construction of the tire factory of the Japanese company Toyo Tires in Indjija. It is one of the world’s largest tire companies that will construct and operate a new tire manufacturing plant in the Northeast Industrial Zone of the municipality of Indjija, two kilometers from the city center. Today, at the ceremony of laying the foundation stone for the plant of the Japanese Toyo Tires in Indjija, President Aleksandar Vučić pointed out that this is an investment of great importance, and that the company will be one of the largest exporters from Serbia, pointing out that the company’s exports will reach € 240 million. “Exports of Toyo Tires will be at the level of 240 million euros, and that will be one of the most important and most powerful exporters from the territory of Serbia,” Vucic emphasized. He says that these are huge incentives for the development of the Serbian economy, but it is even more important that, after this investment, we expect the arrival of new Japanese companies. “This is an important thing for Serbia, of great importance,” Vucic emphasized. He specified that this is an investment of […]
