Winter reservations - cheap holiday

Although summer hotel packages of three to 35 percent cheaper if you pay now, Serbian tourists have resistance to planning vacations six months ahead.

"In my mind I would not have to pay home six months earlier, I do not want them at full trot, and God knows where I'll be then!" - Says the most common phrase you mention earlier in Serbia or reservations for winter vacations.

- Problem Serbian passengers do not know how important an earlier booking in the West for years, to date. Throughout the modern world, tourists are beginning to pay summer arrangements now, so half a year, or at least a few months earlier. And here it is not the case, although the hotel arrangements now three to 35 percent cheaper, says Mehmet Gunduz, director of travel agency travel 1A.

According to him, the hotel and the season in January performing with significantly lower prices summer, which mainly include the hotel except in winter cheaper charter air transportation to summer destinations. Also, the lower cost "involved" and the agency, allowing the discount of their own commission.

- A balance is, say, a family of four in total holiday pay significantly less than in May or June, at the time you plan your summer and budget, and has time to get information about places to visit on summer vacation. What is important, previously booked arrangements are generally paid in full by the end of February, so that by summer they have time to collect more money for entertainment and shopping, said Gunduz.

Earlier payment is certainly good for the agencies and hotel operators, not just for the money, which prepared the season is already on its basis, worldwide, in tourism planning season and the number of visitors. For all, therefore, the economy, tourists, agencies and hoteliers - early booking is pure gain.

Experts in the field of Tourism explained that the discounts are lower as we approach the holidays, whether it's winter in Dubai, which is the best paid in August, and summer in Spain, Greece or Turkey, which is a clean win to pay it in October when the usual deal cheaper and 30 to 35 percent.

Asked what happens when someone has a reason to cancel the deal paid six months ago, that most tourists are interested in Serbian, the answer is that the full amount back certainly to anyone with proof of extraordinary incapacity, or find a physician about the disease, a certificate of death in the family ... they include floods, earthquakes and other sudden disturbances, and the money is returned within eight days. This is the law of the General Conditions trip to Serbia, according to the tourism industry.

Under this act, with which the passengers get to know the time of payment arrangements, it was determined what percentage of the agency and retained in all other circumstances. Thus, reserves five percent of the money paid if the trip has been canceled until 45 days and 10 percent of 44 to one month before departure ... But as much as 90 percent of nine to six days ahead of his trip, the traveler and the agency does not return anything if, for their personal reasons not on the list of justified absence, terminate time in five days.

However, we should think about the worst. For a family not a little to save 50 euros if paid in January Serbs popular arrangement in Alanya, where at the "Vasa", for example, seven nights per person now costs 199 euros. Or, to us yet unknown Sitges near Barcelona, where the arrangement of five-star hotel with air transport now costs an average of 499, and in June, but the difference will be 50 to 200 euros per payment. And for a place on the Costa Dorado, or the Gold Coast, in the rank of Palma de Majorca and Ibiza ... So now, let Serbian tourists weigh or be at least ask why so much care about the rich passengers from Western Europe.

Meadow - the victim and the crime of forgetting

Canadian Edward Tavilu are not allowed to place a monument in the area killing 11 Serbs.

"Something bad happened. Under the bus to come to Gracanica planted the bomb, "told us the Swedish KFOR officer. Behind him stood two blonde Nordic soldiers in bulletproof vests, with their hands on guns. "Are there any casualties, wounded? Where was the bomb, the bus was escorted, what have you done? "Shut up questions, of fresh knowledge about who are his enemies in this area, but backed off, he exchanged a few words in Swedish from his company and complete the official said," No nothing I can tell you. For everything else, I am ready to help. "

Very soon it became clear that the explosive was placed in a drain pipe under the road in the village near Podujevo Livadice. The front of the bus "Nis-eskpresa" completely disappeared in the blast, remained polusagorela wreckage, pieces of concrete, glass, travel bags, luggage and scattered human bodies.

During this time on a nearby hill Florim Ejupi watched what was happening. He pulled a cigarette from the mouth dogorelu and shoved it in a hole the stump where he sat. Okrenio up and gone, the job is done.

West went on to a world without numbers, without the tags immediately, with no victims, reduced to an incident of unknown offenders, and after a few days ago announced how many people died.

One man was never identified, no one has asked him, not be told by his relatives, even those in which it went to Kosovo. He was buried in a cemetery in Gracanica, a cross with no name. Gorica Scepanovic on his grave every year brings flowers, she is survived that day, and the nameless, the excess K-passenger had no luck. So if one day, unknown company or obtain a loner on his example we learn how we are nameless and run against the evil around us and in us.

Freedom of movement of Serbs returning to Kosovo and Metohija in affirmed from the final blow because, until that day, military escorts gave some security. Meadow have shown that there are, the army, tanks, scouts, will and intention that these can be protected on the road. Fear of travel and caution on the road became part of collective heritage and means at each movement out of the enclave.

Thanks to that of cigarette butts, which is due to the slow hand of justice Florim Ejupi found himself in jail. Saliva was his having been sufficient evidence, and is located in the most secure and best organized place in Kosovo - the U.S. base Bondsteel near Ferizaj. From there, the only suspect in the terrorist attack, the death of eleven Serbs and wounding 35 passengers - escaped. It is not known is there any escape, but Florim is. "Sam from Livadica, I am from Camp Bondsteel," the man finds himself in Albania.

However, his film story is nastvalja. He was re-arrested and sentenced to 40 years in prison and then freed from the EULEX justice "due to lack of evidence."

"This crime does not become obsolete, it is directed against other ethnic groups," said lawyer Zivojin Jokanovic from the beginning involved in this case.

At the scene today there is no signature. The only person who came here Sladjana Cvetkovic, arrived with his family to light a candle and thank God I was alive. Some people from Serbian institutions laid the flowers in recent years, now all empty - no one came. Canadian Tavil Edward, who worked in international missions in Kosovo, funded and created a monument to victims of terrorist attacks. But he could not put it because of "administrative and other obstacles." He left the province, leaving the mark at the Gracanica monastery with the vow, and request that he made him who he can and when it is possible.

By then, over the weeds in Livadica stand some people who have lost everything, standing alone and forgotten, just like her mound unknown victims in a cemetery in Gracanica.

Scientists are complaining because of low salaries

Union of scientific institutions seek reconsideration of responsibility Bozidar Djelic the difficult position of scientific institutes.

Most scientific research institutes located in a precarious position, and the main problem is - low salaries of researchers, institutes barely cover overhead costs, the survival of the majority of them depend on the projects and funds provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the budget is limited.

Thus the situation in a number of scientific institutes describe the representatives of Union of Scientific Research of Serbia, who sent an open letter to the Prime Minister of Serbia, Mirko Cvetkovic, seeking to review the work of the Ministry of Science and the responsibility of the Minister Bozidar Djelic. As explained at the press conference yesterday, it does not mean to seek the resignation of the Minister Djelic, but if their demands are not respected, and it will do.

Representatives of trade unions are dissatisfied with their contracts on project implementation, state of the agricultural institutes, not signing the Special Collective Agreement in science. Contracts for the implementation of projects by the Ministry of Science offered institutes, violated the Labor Law, Law on Scientific Research, and act on selection, evaluation and project finance, said yesterday at a press conference Đurđica Jovovich, senior scientist and president of the Union Employees in Scientific Research.

- Last year they put out two scientific institutes in the field of agriculture, in Nis and Gucci, while the other is in Zajecar in bankruptcy. Employees from Nis and Guce remained on the street, while those in Zajecar not received salaries 20 - said Jovovic.

Union representatives pointed out to request the earnings are equal to those received by professors at the university.

The Ministry of Science say they have agreement on financing projects for the period from 2011. 2014. , clearly defined means for the work of researchers on the accepted projects. They say they will talk with representatives of ministries and project managers to analyze the required funds. They deny that the employees at the institutes have lower salaries than their colleagues in colleges and say the 2008th year, wages increased by 30 percent and then the equal benefits, while the payment of past work, the employer or institute.

"Spending on science in 2011. year were 23 percent higher than the budget allocation in 2010. year ", says the line ministry.

As for the scientific institutions in Zajecar, Nis and Guce, the Ministry of Science suggest that this is not scientific institutes, because they lack a sufficient number of scientific personnel required for accreditation, but are registered under the Law on innovation.

Putin, perhaps, without a visa for the EU

At its meeting in Strasbourg evroparlamentarci made it clear that they have no confidence in the Russian courts.

President Vladimir Putin of the Russian government could be denied entry into the European Union. Of course, all provided that the competent Member States agree with the proposal who yesterday presented the delegates of the European Parliament. Specifically, they were at a meeting in Strasbourg called for the introduction of strong sanctions against the Russian Federation, including visa bans senior public servants.

Evroparlamentaraca anger was induced, as stated - very bad state of the judiciary, the largest country in the world. In a resolution adopted on this occasion and titled: "The rule of law in Russia," notes the dissatisfaction of Europeans during the former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his associate Platon Lebedev (both sentenced to 14 years in prison).

Russian authorities were criticized for the arrest of opposition leader Boris Nemcova, 31 December last year, after a protest rally that was held with the permission of the Moscow government. The resolution also includes criticism for the human rights situation in the North Caucasus, weaknesses in the investigations of murders of a number of Russian journalists, and inefficiency in solving the cause of death of Sergei Magnitskog, lawyers, investment fund "Hermitage," which, under mysterious circumstances, died 16th November 2009. in solitary confinement in detention.

In short, lawmakers believe that justice in Russia selective and demanding that the Russian authorities on all matters referred to more frequently consult with European colleagues.

Consciously or not, evroparlamentarci were, in the Resolution, put into the role of "referee Russian judiciary", as in Moscow could not pass without comment jetkih. Andrei Klimov, deputy chairman of the Committee on International Relations of the Russian Duma, in an interview with daily newspaper Kommersant, said: "When such resolutions proposed for no particular reason, or no calls for dialogue between Russia and the EU, creating the impression that evroparlamentarci, simply - have better things to do. "

According to him, the adoption of this resolution is probably done at the insistence of Russian opposition leaders living in Europe. Klimov reminds us that recently took place in Strasbourg press conference attended by Werner Schulz, Heidi Hautala and co-chairman of the Party of National Freedom Boris Nemcova. The conference discussed the state of Russian opposition ahead of elections in Russia - parliamentary (the end of this year) and presidential 2012th

It is interesting that at this conference Nemcova revealed a list of Russian government officials who should be denied a visa to travel to EU countries. At the head of the list bears the name of the President of the Russian government - Vladimir Putin.

Representative of the Estonian parliament liberaldemokrata in Europe - Kristina Ojland - pointed out, however, that this institution should not interfere with the work of diplomatic services of any member of the EU, since such issues out in the field of its powers.

Is the determination expressed at the meeting of parliamentarians in Strasbourg enough to the EU-Russia relations entered a new "cold ring" will be seen as next week when Brussels is just Putin arrived. This meeting will require the parties to a pragmatic approach to all problems, and about the human rights situation in Russia.

Or, as Michael said Fjodotov, Head of the Presidential Council for Human Rights: "I do not have to deputies of the European Parliament to show us our faults. We are certainly better known. We need help to overcome these deficiencies. "

Asteroid hits Earth in 2036?

NEW YORK - According to Russian scientists, the asteroid Apophis weighs about 270 million tons could collide with Earth 2036th year and so create chaos across the globe and the deaths of millions of its inhabitants, according to U.S. media.

The U.S. space agency (NASA), however, disagrees with this outlook, and argues that the likelihood of Apophis hitting Earth 1 in 250,000.

They also estimate that I will attack, if it comes to him with such force will be like a nuclear explosion of 510 megatons, and point out that this asteroid could not "Armageddon", but that could cause a terrible tsunami and the death of several million people.

Russian and U.S. scientists are now left in the next 25 years, follow the path of Apophis, and that if they determine that the attack is inevitable to find solutions to its trajectory changed or mitigate the consequences of stroke. Scientists argue that a solution could be to use nuclear weapons to break Apophis into smaller pieces.

The hunt for pirate radio

Approximate location of illegal broadcasters reveals a technical way, and their door staff to come seeing the RBA antenna.

At the door of illegal radio broadcasters from Lazarevac team Broadcasting Agency (RBA) made it, after the usual procedures at that station owner did not respond, the seal and thus prevent further broadcast. Authorities have quickly noticed that, despite the ban, the program with the computer still transmitted. When they returned to the scene, they found intact sealed door, and another, recently blasted through which the owner and employees re-entering the premises. It was an incredible move by illegal broadcasters because formal - not off mark.

This is just one case permanent battle with radio and TV pirates that the "Policy" retell Đuričković Nikola and Goran Ćurguz, authorized personnel of the RBA, while traveling to Valjevo to shut down an illegal radio station X.

- In Valjevo we came to seal the equipment owner of the radio frequency for which no permit, and even she had never been applied to obtain the document - explains, adding that today Ćurguz pirate TV stations almost nonexistent, and that it is mainly on radio- pirates.

The exact place where it was broadcast radio program of Valjevo our counterparts, led by the previously obtained data of the Republic Agency for Electronic Communications (RTA), they found after visiting three of the roof, and were able to determine the extent to which the flat cables reach. So they discovered that the radio program broadcast on X from the bedroom of his owner. Although we were assured that Valjevo on the radio "X" there was no advertising, no quizzes where you get just a huge phone bill, but that the broadcaster to "radio as a hobby and played songs for the society, the law is the law - and the one who violates must match. So the end of 2010. were submitted 119 requests for initiation of criminal proceedings and 146 criminal charges against illegal radio and TV broadcasters.

Location from which the illegal broadcasts finds RATEL through measuring stations in Belgrade and Nis. But these cells can not detect a signal from all over Serbia. So the fight with illegal broadcasters and mobile measuring center nestled in a van.

- Radio stations are hidden to most interesting places. When going to the field transmitters are zaticali in basements, rooms, the bower, we even found one in "smederevci" - the story Ćurguz.

Go to the field based solely on reports RATEL because the document is only valid evidence in court. Broadcasters to black, before it comes to stamping equipment and facilities, indicates the decision to cease broadcasting. If you do not use the right of appeal, and continued broadcasting the address they will get a warning, and if it does not help - the RBA team with a stamp.

- The action we are going to secrecy so that we found illegal broadcasters in action. Some are trying to distract us from the intentions of force, threatening politicians, ministers, let us dogs and even guns removed. It happens that we are not allowed to enter, or simply that we do not open the door. We ask for police assistance, which usually get after 72 hours. Broadcasters even in this case are not obliged to receive us, and we can not enter into force because it is mostly private homes - explains Đuričković complications in the business. Only when you put your stamp on equipment or apartment, the case came before the Magistrates Court. Neither the RBA nor RATEL can not deprive the property of illegal broadcasters. Criminal charges be filed only if you take off the seal and continue broadcasting.

For all these reasons, complicated procedures and small powers of state agencies involved in this field, illegal greetings, wishes and congratulations are still present in the air.
