Beauty & harmony

Primošten is a truly glorious destination. A combination of the ancient and the modern, with
stunning architecture and all the facilities of a tourist resort. It is no wonder that the locals call their
city “a harmony of sun, sea and stone.”

FROM THE EDITOR
Mark Thomas

Welcome to our beautiful city and to the
fifteenth edition of the second season of
“The Sibenik Times”. Some say it is the
lowest form of comedy others hail it as
a genius way of putting someone in their
place. Love it or hate it sarcasm is a form
of comedy that has been around since
the times of the Bible. Sarcasm is, in ma-
ny ways, the backbone of English humour
and apart from the many comedy serials,
plays and films that have used sarcasm
I have always found that the sarcasm
of the “street” is much funnier and poi-
gnant. In fact the word “sarcasm” comes
from the ancient Greek language and
when translated literally means “to tear
the flesh” which pretty descriptively sums
up the word. The quick wit and speed of
mind is what makes sarcasm so hard to
conquer and is probably one of the main
reasons why people with slightly slower
reactions despise it so. But if you’re willing
to move on from everyday sarcasm to so-
mething bigger and better, you will find
it an art, with a noble tradition. Anyway
enough of the theory the best way to
show the beauty of sarcasm is through
some examples. The first one that springs
to mind was when I was living in London
and it was a time when the IRA was thre-
atening the city with bombs. The London
Underground was on full alert for suspect
packages and police were confiscating
any left luggage. I was travelling on a tu-
be to Victoria station and a security guard
on the train noticed an unattended bag.
As he approached the bag cautiously the
people around it crept away and a circle
formed. The officer slowly picked up the
bag, then stuck his ear to it probably to
hear if it was ticking, then surprisingly he
started to shake it violently to the horror
of the crowd. One onlooker then shouted
“That’s it shake it, if it doesn’t explode it
can’t be a bomb!” to which the only
explosion was of the passengers into fits
of laughter. Perfect sarcasm. I was told
another good story the other day. U2 we-
re playing a concert in Scotland and after
a few songs Bono asked the audience to
be silent. As Bono is not only a showman
but also a political campaigner such dis-
plays are not unusual. He then started to
slowly and deliberately clap his hands,
clap…clap…clap…, after a few claps he
bellowed “Every time I clap my hands a
child dies in Africa” the crowd looked on in
awe until some witty Scot in the first row
shouted out “Stop clapping your hands
then!” Perfect sarcasm.

MINISTER OF TOURISM CLAIMS TOURISM
SEASON IS OFF TO A GOOD START
Minister of Tourism Damir Bajs said today
(Weds) the number of tourist overnights had
declined by six per cent in June compared to the
same month in 2008. Bajs added that the number
of domestic tourists’ overnights had increased by
one per cent in June compared to the same period
in 2008. Bajs believes the start of the summer to-
urist season has been unexpectedly good, Tportal
website has reported. Bajs said: “The most-impor-
tant tourism months are ahead of us. Looking at
the numbers, we can be less concerned than our
competition. We can cure our problems with an
aspirin, honey and tea, whereas other tourism co-
untries need to go in for a serious examination.”
In the first six months of 2009, the number of fo-
reign-tourist overnights declined by seven percent,
while the total number of overnights dropped by
three per cent.
CROATIAN VISITORS 'STAYING LONGER'
It would seem that those who head to Croatia
on holiday appear to enjoy their accommodation
- as visitors are staying in the country for longer.
Tourism minister Damir Bajs has spoken today
about how people are taking lengthier Croatia
travel trips in 2009, compared to previous years.
Mr Bajs was generally confident about the tourism
figures in the Balkan nation, suggesting to Reuters
that guest numbers are at "very acceptable levels".
With tourism accounting for close to 20 per cent
of Croatia's gross domestic product, it is important
that people continue to visit the country. Beauti-
ful beaches, historic sights and traditionally hot
weather throughout the summer mean that it is a
popular choice among European holidaymakers.
Commenting on the latest data, Mr Bajs said: "We
had expected a drop and for the moment it is ...
something we can live with. However, key summer
months are still ahead of us and the number of
last-minute arrivals will determine a lot."
KNIN FIRM TO EXPORT NINE TONS OF HONEY TO CANADA
Api-Herba, a small herbal company in
Knin in Sibenik-Knin county, is planning
to export nine tons of green honey to Ca-
nada. Api-Herba owner and herbalist Pero
Anticevic, who is negotiating with anot-
her company in Japan, said today (Weds)
he was very satisfied foreign companies
had recognized his products.
Anticevic told the daily Vecernji list: “I
have received an offer from a Canadian
businessman who wants to purchase nine
tons of acacia and wild-flower honey. He
will arrive in Knin in ten days, and we will
sign a contract.” Anticevic has asked all
local bee-keepers in cooperate in filling
that order. A group of Japanese busines-
smen will arrive in Zagreb on 14 July to
meet with Anticevic. Last year Api-Herba
started to export its product “propolis,” a
resinous mixture honey-bees collect from
tree buds, sap flows and other botanical
sources, to the Japanese firm Suwa In-
ternational.
GERMANS ATTRACTED TO CROATIA VACATIONS
Croatia is one of the holiday destinations that is proving more of an attraction to
German vacationers than Tenerife, it has been suggested. According to the tourism
councillor at the Spanish island’s popular Arona region, Angel David Herrera, this is
having an effect on one of Tenerife’s main markets. Turkey, Egypt and the Caribbe-
an have also proved to be attractive holiday options for people from Germany, the
travel expert explained to the Fortnightly Tenerife News. Croatia’s attractiveness for
German tourists was increased recently when it was announced that police officers
from Germany will be helping local officials patrol the popular Istria region in July
and August. The Earth Times reported that their presence will help visitors who run
into difficulty during their stay. Anyone staying in Istria accommodation between
September 1st and November 30th may also be able to enjoy one of many Truffle
Days, which have been organised to celebrate the local delicacy of the area.

The first signs of inhabitants
in the Vodice area go back as
far as the prehistoric ages. The
interior around Vodice was, and
in fact still is today, a rich and
fertile area where farmers co-
uld grow crops. This has been
scientifically proven with arc-
haeological discoveries of pots
and weapons from the Iron Age.
The settlements expanded over
time, new inhabitants arrived
and new cultures emerged. An
important merchant route pa-
ssed through this area, from Na-
din to Zadar, along which many
settlements sprung. The name
of Vodice derives from the word
meaning water (“voda” in Cro-
atian) sources which supplied
the whole area. Due to attacks
from the sea there were very few
houses actually built on the co-
ast line. This however changed
in the 15th and 16th centuri-
es when huge walls, including

ted around the city. These were
to protect the townsfolk against
attacks from the Turkish inva-
ders. However when the threat
from the Turkish Empire ceased
the walls were unfortunately
torn down and the stones and
materials were used to construct
residential buildings. In fact the
last tower was dismantled as late
as after World War II. In 1646 a
large pier was constructed and
this helped to improve Vodice’s
growing trade economy. As
trade grew the population also
expanded and it was decided a
new church should be built as
the older one on the hill overlo-
oking the town was now just too
small. Work started in 1746 and
was finally completed three ye-
ars later in 1749. In 1891 Vodice
got official recognition of its size
and importance and was classifi-
ed as an independent municipa-
lity comprising of seven smaller
boroughs. Modern day Vodice is
a thriving tourist centre, in fact
one of the most recognised on
the whole of the Dalmatian co-
ast, and guest from all over the
world visit the resort to enjoy it’s
history, beaches, cuisine, nightli-
fe and tradition. Today the city
has 9,407 inhabitants although
during the summer months this
number is 5 to 6 times more due
to the seasonal influx of tourists.
Situated only 11 kilometres from
the city of Sibenik the resort is in
an ideal position to explore the
many delights of the county, in-
cluding the two national parks
of Krka and Kornati as well as
the fascinating countryside in
the interior. In total Vodice has
over 50,000 tourist accommoda-
tions both in hotels and private
apartments which makes it one
of the largest tourist resorts in
the Adriatic and the resort is just
as popular with nautical tourists.
A modern marina, comprising
of over 400 berths and 90 dry
VODICE
berths, is located in the gulf of
Vodice. The gulf offers first cla-
ss conditions for sailors as it is
well protected from winds and
rough sea by the islands of Pr-
vic, Tijat and Logoru which lie
less than one kilometre from the
shore. The marina has also had
world recognition for its cleanli-
ness with the prestigious “Blue
Flag” award. In fact earlier this
year the marina raised the flag
for the tenth time and was even
awarded a silver diploma in re-
cognition of their long standing
support for protecting the sea
and the surroundings. Vodice
is certainly a destination for lo-
vers of the sea, whether sailors,
swimmers, divers or any form of
water sports, there is something
for everyone. In diving centres in
Vodice, you can get all the ne-
cessary information about how
to dive on archaeological sites
previously mentioned, or how to
reach famous shipwrecks, tho-
se historical deep sea museums
and enjoy in a unique experien-
ce of diving through submarine
gardens of one of the most bea-
utiful and best protected under-
sea areas in the world. If you’re
looking for an active vacation or
just to relax on one of the many
beaches Vodice has it all. And af-
ter a busy day on the sea what
better than to enjoy traditional
cuisine and wines in one of the
many restaurants. The resort has
over 50 establishments offering
a wide range of local and inter-
national foods, again something
for everyone. As they say in Vo-
dice “Taste our dishes, feel the
past times, experience the true
spirit of Vodice.” Today, Vodice
is a renowned tourist centre,
the most famous one in Central
Adriatic. This has been the case
ever since the people of Vodice
decided to pursue this economic
activity, which means for the
past fifty years.

INTERVIEW Dr. Bernd Fischer – Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Croatia
Croatia is one of the mo
countries in the whole w
•• How do you see Croatia’s ro-
le inside the European Union
and when do you think we will
be a full member?
To start with the border issue
between Croatia and Slovenia,
Germany’s position is clear, we
want the border issue decou-
pled from the current negotia-
tions and in fact should not be a
part of the overall discussions.
In this regard we have spoken to
our Slovenian friends as Europe-
an Union members, as basically
everyone else has been doing,
and we hope that the Slovenians
are ready to allow the negotia-
tions to continue. This current
slowing down of the process isn’t
productive for anyone. As far as
the actual border matter is con-
cerned we want not to involve
ourselves, it is an issue between
two neighbouring countries and
they should find a way to solve
this. We are happy to see that
the new Croatian prime Mini-
ster, Jadranka Kosor, made some
nice comments about Slovenian
tourists and we welcome such
co-operation. Slovenian Prime
Minister, Borut Pahor, also gave
a warm and heart felt welcome
to the new Croatian Prime Mini-
ster. There seems to be a much
better atmosphere between the
two governments recently, and
a good atmosphere is really im-
portant. I personally know of so
many examples of co-operation
between the two countries, espe-
cially in the border region, that
I’m sure common ground can
be found. I’m optimistic but the
issue must be solved by the two
countries. As far as your second
point, in order to achieve entry
there are 33 chapters that need
to negotiated; these are negoti-
ated by the European Commi-
ssion on behalf of the member
countries and the approved by
the European Council. There are
a few chapters that are still open
on top of the border issue and
these all have to be dealt with.
Whether it a question on how to
reform the legal system or create
better competition for business
we have seen good reactions
both from the Croatian gover-
nment and the Prime Minister.
The role of Croatia inside the
saturday
july 18th 2009.
European Union is a very impor-
tant point. Firstly the geography
of Croatia is important, every
new member brings with them
something special, and Croatia
for instance has two special po-
ints. The first one is that Croatia
is an important power in the re-
gion, both from a geographical
and historical point of view, and
this can help to create a real zo-
ne of peace and stability in the
region. The second point is that
Croatia has a very strong inter-
national network, it is very well
connected with the non Europe-
an Union countries, and that is
one of the reasons that Croatia is
inside the Security Council. Cro-
atia is a very important to this
region as well as European and
International diplomacy. Croa-
tian diplomats are very well re-
cognised around the world. And
besides these two points Croatia
is a good market for investors,
a solid importer of European
Union products as well as being
a productive exporter. At the
end of the day Croatia is one of
Europe’s heartlands.
•• What are your feelings about
Croatia’s entering into NATO?
For Croatia as a country and
for the foreign policy as a whole
it is important to have both full
membership of NATO and the
European Union. NATO is extre-
mely important from a security
point of view. For the first time
in a thousand year history Cro-
atian borders are a safe as they
can be. According to article 5
of the NATO agreement which
reads everyone must protect
everyone else means that Croa-
tia is as safe as Berlin, New York
or London. Also from what I ha-
ve heard NATO membership has
helped with foreign investment
in the country as a whole, peo-
ple like the idea of investing in
a NATO country. To a certain
extent it guarantees future in-
vestors military, social and legal
stability.
•• Germany is one of the lea-
ding investors into Croatia.
How do you see the future of
investing in Croatia?
In many ways Croatia’s entry
inside the European Union will
add future investors. Once the
country is a full member then
European rules of business and
investment will apply, which
will certainly be good news for
future investors. The overall
“investment safety” in Croatia
will be raised dramatically. I am
sure there will be a number of
German investors looking to do
more business in Croatia after
entry. The area of tourism is de-
finitely one that could see high »Croatia is a
numbers of foreign investment.
The figures for June this year
very important
warmed my heart, as the Ger-
man tourist market exploded
to this region as
in Croatia again. I remember well as European
seeing a newspaper headline
that read “an increase of 20% and International
in overnight stays from German
guests in June.” Outstanding
diplomacy«
results. Talking about tourism
we are currently in the middle
of planning a special marketing
action together with the Croa-
tian National Tourist Board. Of
course Germans have the po-
ssibility to drive from their ho-
mes to Croatia so with the ever
improving highway we could
once again see a rise in German
tourist this year. Getting back to
investments I see a good oppor-
tunity for companies to invest
in a local level with ecologically
friendly solar plants. There are
certainly many sites around
the country that could be used
for this and combined with the
hours of sun the country gets it
could be a great opportunity for
investment. This power could
then be used to develop local
businesses. Wind energy is also
becoming more and more im-
portant, so there is another gre-
at opportunity. One of Croatia’s
biggest strengths is that it has a
very solid democracy and res-
ponsible leaders of the main
political parties.
•• On a more personal level
how do you see Croatia?
As one of the most beautiful
countries in the whole world, if
I have the opportunity to des-
cribe Croatia to someone who
doesn’t know the country I ask
them firstly how much time they
have, because I can easily talk
about the history, culture and
geography of Croatia for hours
and hours.

Klapa evenings
Held every Thursday during July and
August, organized by the Šibenik tourist
board, are the “Evenings of Klapa son-
gs.” These evenings are organized so
that the "klapa" tradition of Šibenik and
its surrounding could be presented and
improved as well as being preserved for
future generations. The entire event takes
place in the old part of town on a bea-
utiful square surrounded by old houses
and the architecture of this part of the
city lends itself perfectly to the perfor-
mances. The public's desire for this type
of musical evenings in Šibenik is the best
way to judge the need for it to be held as
all the events are well attended, both by
locals and tourists alike. Upon arrival to
our city, information of this manifestation
can be found at our Tourist Information
Centre. Spend an evening at the “Klapa”,
it’s an evening you won’t forget, an ideal
memory to take home from your holiday.

How to have a happy, healthy holiday
Most of us love being outside
in the summertime, especially
if it’s nice and hot. Sunshine
not only makes everything lo-
ok better, it makes us feel good
too. Don’t forget though that
the ultraviolet (UV) rays in the
sunlight can damage the cells
in your body. It is especially im-
portant to avoid getting burnt by
the sun.
What is sunburn?
Sunburn can be caused by
overexposure to the sun but so-
me medicines can trigger severe
sensitivity to sunlight too. The
symptoms of sunburn are not
usually immediately obvious,
and the worst pain occurs 6-48
hours after being in the sun.
Most sunburn is superficial yet
can be extremely painful. In se-
vere cases, the skin is a lobster
red in colour and blistered and
may cause heatstroke.
How do I take
precautions?
• Avoid strong sunlight whene-
ver possible, and cover up with
loose clothing and a hat.
• Thickly apply sunscreen wi-

th a SPF (sun protection factor)
of at least 15 before going out
in the sun. Choose a lotion that
blocks both UVA and UVB rays,
for maximum protection.
• Wear sunglasses at all times
• Babies under 12 months sho-
uld be kept in the shade at all ti-
mes and covered up with a high
factor sun lotion or sunblock.
• Encourage young children to
play in the shade, and make su-
re they wear sunhats and a high
SPF lotion.
• Even on a cloudy or win-
dy day, it is still possible to get
burnt.
How do I use sunscreen?
Sun lotions should be appli-
ed liberally ½ hour before going
into the sun. Don’t forget your
nose, ears and lips, which tend
to burn easily, it may be worthw-
hile investing in a total sunblock
stick to avoid the pain. Reapply
sun lotion regularly, its effects
are reduced after one to two ho-
urs in the sun. Remember that
it can rub off on towels or sand,
or from going in the water. Even
water repellent lotion should be
reapplied because you can rub it
sibenik times 9
off when you towel dry yourself
after swimming.
How do I treat sunburn?
Stop sunbathing immediately.
If there is extensive blistering or
any other skin damage you need
to seek medical advice.
• With minor sunburn cover
the affected skin with light clot-
hing or a towel.
• Move into the shade or prefe-
rably indoors.
• Cool the skin by sponging it
with cool water or by soaking
the affected area in a cold bath
or a cool shower for ten minutes.
• Take extra care when cooling
children's burns.
• Drink plenty of fluids to re-
place the water lost through
sweating in the sun, and to cool
down. Don't drink alcohol beca-
use it will dehydrate you further.
• If the burns are mild, calomi-
ne lotion or an aftersun prepara-
tion may soothe them.
• For adults, painkillers such
as paracetamol or ibuprofen
can help relieve pain and reduce
swelling.
• For severe sunburn obtain
medical aid.

bit of everything
Little
The Sibenik – Knin County is full of
interesting sights and sounds. Its history
and tradition are rich, complicated and
fascinating. Its nature and wildlife, in-
cluding two national parks, are unique
and breathtaking. Its cuisine and wine
are world class. The connection to the sea
The climate along the Sibenik Rivera is
a typical Mediterranean one, with mild,
rainy winters and hot and dry summers.
However, it is perhaps distinct from other
Mediterranean climates because of the
unusual winds and frequency of thunder-
storms. The Bora wind blows uncomfor-
tably cold gusts down the Adriatic coast
between October and April, and thundery
conditions are common all the year round,
even in summer, when they interrupt the
warm, sunny days. The air temperatures
can slightly vary, depending on the area or

me maximum temperatures reach 29°C,
and at night drop to around 21°C. More
comfortable, perhaps, is the climate in
Spring and Autumn when maximum tem-
peratures are typically between 20°C and
28°C. During winter the coldest tempera-
tures are recorded in the northern Adriatic
with temperatures dropping sometimes
below zero, while the southern regions of
the Adriatic coast generally remain above
zero, although this can change when the
Bora wind blows.
VOCAL CHOIRS “KLAPA”
Held every Thursday during July and
August, organized by the Šibenik tourist
board, are the Evening of "Klapa" songs.
These evenings are organized so that the
"klapa" tradition of Šibenik and its surro-
unding could be presented and improved.
The entire event takes place in the old part
of town on a beautiful square surrounded
by old houses. The public's desire for this
type of musical evenings in Šibenik is the
best way to judge the need for it to be held.

The Croatian Kornati archipelago
(Ialian: Arcipelago delle Incoronate) is
located in northern Dalmatia, south of
Zadar, but in Šibenik-Knin county. With

the biggest of the islands, comprises two-
thirds of the park's land area. Although
the island is 25.2 km long, it is no wider
than about 2.5 km. There are no perma-

Board. Today the Šibenik Button is a com-
ponent of the costumes of Šibenik Klapas

Let The Games Begin
‘Bodulska pripetavanja 2009’ -
sports and entertainment games
Everything is ready for the
start of the program as they
say – Let the games begin -.
“Islanders Time Break 2009”
(Bodulska Pripetavanja) is a cul-
tural, sport and entertainment
event in which representatives
of the inhabited islands of the
Sibenik area take part. This is
the forth year that these “islan-
der games” have been held and
this year they are certain to be
bigger than ever before. The
teams compete in bowls, cards,
five-a-side football, water po-
lo, swimming and tug-o-war.
From the 18th of July until the
22nd of August the third “Islan-
ders Time Break” will be held
and seven teams from all over
Sibenik’s Adriatic will contest in
seven different venues.
Although the games are
taken very seriously and the
competitors certainly want to
win the main goal of the games
is to develop the friendships
between the islands. Competi-
tors will make new friendships,
socialize together, develop co-
operations and at the same ti-
me entertain their tourists. The
games are great publicity for the
islands and help to promote jo-
int understandings. Not only do
the competitors socialize toget-
her but also the teams “suppor-
ters”, who normally get together
until the early hours. The whole
tournament is carried out in a
spirit of fair play. All of the in-
habitants of the islands have the
right to enter the games as well
as their guests and tourists.
This year the games will be
held in Krapanj, Jadrija, Prvić
Luka, Zlarin, Prvić Šepurine,
Žirje and Kaprije. Apart from
the sports events there is of
course an entertainment pro-
gramme that goes along with

“Jadrija” “Prvić Šepurina” Break”, Mr. Emil Guberina. The
“Kaprije” “Zlarin” new introduction of the enter-
“Krapanj” “Žirje” tainment program for this year
“Prvić Luka” will certainly make a difference
to the whole event.
