FROM THE EDITOR
Mark Thomas
mark.thomas@sibenik-times.com
Welcome to our beautiful ci-
ty and to the third edition of the
second season of “The Sibenik Ti-
mes”. It’s been a mixed week for
Croatia in the press, with good
news coming in the form of eco-
logical matters and a BBC report
being blown out of proportion.
I guess its all good marketing for
Croatia for as they say “there is no
such thing as bad publicity.” Cer-
tainly Croatia being nominated
in the top twenty countries in the
world in standards of cleanliness
by Forbes magazine was welcome
news. I have to say that after living
in Croatia for eleven years this
didn’t really come as a surprise to
me. Almost every city I have visited
in my time here has been a model
of cleanliness, from the architectu-
re that looks like it’s washed down
every morning to the clear Adriatic
Sea that is without doubt one of
the cleanest in the whole world.
Citizens seem to take pride in their
country and I can understand why.
As the tourist season warms up
and the country prepares itself for
a massive influx of guests the news
that Croatia is cleaner than most
other European countries will all
help with what could prove to be a
great season. So as you’re enjoying
yourself on the beach or walking
in the city remember to that you
are a ambassador of your country
and take care not to damage the
environment around you. After a
slightly uncertain start the poin-
ters look good for this season and
once again the Sibenik could see
record numbers of guests this year.
My fingers are crossed and the Si-
benik County is ready to welcome
everyone with open arms.«
SPEAK UP!
We would love to hear from you.
Please write or send an e-mail to
us about your stay in Sibenik. Yo-
ur comments are valuable to us
and the most interesting letters
will be published every week. In-
teresting and unusual photos are
also welcome. Thanks.

THE GOVERNMENT MAY ALLOW SHOPS
TO OPEN ON SUNDAYS
The government may give shops permission to
stay open on Sundays throughout the year. At pre-
sent, shops may remain open on Sundays only du-
ring the summer tourist season. Prime Minister Ivo
Sanader is planning to abolish the ban on Sunday
openings introduced in January 2009, according
to Poslovni dnevnik (Business Daily). The daily
said Sanader would do so during the next 10 days
before upcoming local elections. Dubrovnik Mayor
Dubravka Suica, who gave city shops permissi-
on to open for cruise tourists on Sundays from 1
April, has already violated the ban. Many Adriatic
towns and the Croatian Chamber of Trades and
Crafts (HOK) have expressed opposition to the
ban. They have already asked Sanader to allow
shops to remain open on Sundays even before the
start of the summer tourist season.
MONUMENT TO CROATIAN KING
ZVONIMIR UNVEILED IN KNIN
A monument dedicated to Croatian King Dmi-
tar Zvonimir will be unveiled in Knin at 11am on
18 April. Knin, in Sibenik-Knin county, was the
capital of the Kingdom of Croatia around 1080
during the rule of Zvonimir, which has led to
Knin being known as the “City of Croatian Kings”
or “Zvonimir’s City.” Zvonimir was crowned on
8 October 1076 at Solin near Split and reigned
until 1089. The monument, to be located in ci-
ty park “Trg Oluje” (Storm Square), is the work
of Croatian sculptor Aleksandar Guberina from
Sibenik and has been financed by Knin and the
“Braca Hrvatskog Zmaja” (Brothers of the Croa-
tian Dragon) association in Zagreb. The unveiling
ceremony will include a Mass and a procession.
The “Napredak” association and the “Knin klapa”
band will provide the music for the event.
WHYCROATIA, NEW PROJECT LAUNCHED
FOR TOURISTS ATTRACTION
A group of Croatian internet users led by Boris Licina Borja have
launched a new initiative named “WhyCroatia” to promote Croatian
tourism. Their goal is to collect as many videos as possible abo-
ut Croatia lasting no longer than three minutes on website www.
whycroatia.org/, where prospective visitors can find out why they
should visit Croatia. The organizers said the promotion would not
cost anything and anyone could participate. The initiative offers
video categories from sport to food. All who want to participate
can shoot a video, put it on You Tube and send a link to organisers.

NATO CEREMONY MARKS ENTRANCE OF ALBANIA and CROATIA
A NATO flag-raising ceremony yester-
day punctuated the entrance of Albania
and Croatia into the 60-year old collecti-
ve security alliance. Attending the event
at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgi-
um, was NATO Secretary General Jaap
de Hoop Scheffer and the heads of state
of the newly added member countries.
“The accession of Albania and Croatia
demonstrates that the idea of freedom
is irresistible,” de Hoop Scheffer said. “It
demonstrates that nations and peoples
across the Atlantic come together when
they are given the chance to make their
own free choice. This is the clearest de-
monstration that in today’s Europe, ge-
ography no longer is destiny.” The enlar-
gement, which became official April 1,
marks only the sixth time the organizati-
on has expanded its borders, and brings
to 28 the number of members now in
the alliance, six decades after a dozen
nations endorsed the North Atlantic Tre-
aty at an April 4, 1949 ceremony here.
De Hoop Scheffer said membership for
Albania and Croatia marks the well-de-
served reward for many years of hard
preparation. “It is a full vindication of
POLAND BACKS CROATIA FOR EU ENTRY
Officials in Poland have backed Croa-
tia for entry to the European Union (EU)
in the near future, it has been reported.
On a trip to the capital Zagreb, a top ran-
king Polish politician praised Croatia and
gave his country’s seal approval for the
Balkan nation’s admission to both the
EU and NATO, according to Hina news
agency. As translated by Javno, the Polish
parliament’s speaker, Bronislaw Komo-
rovski, told the news agency: “Poland is

seen their countries’ future in NATO,”
he said. “Both countries will now have
a seat at the table where key decisions
are made to shape Euro-Atlantic securi-
ty. And both countries can now enjoy the
ultimate security guarantee of Article 5
of the Washington Treaty.” Article 5 sti-
pulates that an attack against one NATO
member is tantamount to an attack aga-
inst the whole alliance. Albanian Prime
Minister Sali Berisha expressed pride in
raising his nation’s flag alongside those
of other alliance members. “For this flag
and the nation it represents, this day is
the greatest day after the declaration of
independence of Albania,” he said. Croa-
tian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader said the
day was one of joy and celebration for
Croatians. “We have raised the Croatian
flag at NATO Headquarters, which will
represent, alongside the other 27 alli-
ed banners, the shared values, such as
freedom, peace, democracy, rule of law,
human rights, and social market econo-

County - Vodice
Around The
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 archa-
eological 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 passed through
this area, from Nadin to Zadar,
along which many settlements
sprung. The name of Vodice
derives from the word meaning
water (“voda” in Croatian) so-
urces which supplied the whole
area. Due to attacks from the sea
there were very few houses actu-
ally built on the coast line. This
however changed in the 15th and
16th centuries when huge walls,
including three main forts, were
constructed around the city. The-
se were to protect the townsfolk
against attacks from the Turkish
invaders. However when the
threat from the Turkish Empire
ceased the walls were unfortu-
nately torn down and the sto-

nes and materials were used to
construct residential buildings.
In fact the last tower was di-
smantled as late as after World
War II. In 1646 a large pier was
constructed and this helped to
improve Vodice’s growing tra-
de economy. As trade grew the
population also expanded and it
was decided a new church sho-
uld be built as the older one on
the hill overlooking the town was
now just too small. Work started
in 1746 and was finally comple-
ted three years later in 1749. In
1891 Vodice got official recogniti-
on of its size and importance and
was classified as an independent
municipality 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
coast, 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
ACI marina lies in the north-ea-
stern part of the Vodice harbour
(Vrulje cove) and is protected
by two breakwaters. In the year
1999 ACI marina Vodice along
with five other ACI marinas was
awarded the "European Blue
Flag", an environmental award,
given to communities that make
a special effort to keep their
beaches and marinas clean and
manage them with consideration
for the local environment. The
marina is a winner of a prestigi-
ous "European blue flag" award
six years in a row now.
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 accommodations
both in hotels and private apar-
tments which makes it one of the
largest tourist resorts in the Adri-
atic and the resort is just as popu-
lar with nautical tourists. A mo-
dern marina, comprising of over
400 berths and 90 dry berths, is
located in the gulf of Vodice. The
gulf offers first class conditions
for sailors as it is well protected
from winds and rough sea by the
islands of Prvic, Tijat and Logoru
which lie less than one kilometre
from the shore. The marina has
also had world recognition for its
cleanliness 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 recognition of their long stan-
ding 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, those
historical deep sea museums and
enjoy in a unique experience of
diving through submarine gar-
dens of one of the most beautiful
and best protected undersea are-
as 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 after a busy
day on the sea what better than
to enjoy traditional cuisine and
wines in one of the many restau-
rants. The resort has over 50 esta-
blishments offering a wide range
of local and international foods,
again something for everyone.
As they say in Vodice “Taste our
dishes, feel the past times, expe-
rience the true spirit of Vodice.”
Today, Vodice is a renowned tou-
rist 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.«

Skradin Life In The Rhythm Of Nature
Eco And Ethno Fair In Skradin
As in the past, so in the present,
eco-products are produced on
small family farms and can be
found on richly laid out tables in
Skradin. Skradin is well known
for its fish specialties which are
offered in many of the restaurants
there today. Let the rich gold of
olives and deep redness of wine
colour your days in Skradin,
so join the table
Every year the town of Skra-
din holds an ethnic fair under
the banner “Eco & Ethno Fair”
which offers the very best in
home produced products from
the region. The small town of
Skradin, a distinctive and ro-
mantic Dalmatian town where
people are open and friendly, is
situated at the point where the
Krka River joins the Adriatic Sea.
You can enjoy their hospitality
yourself if you visit the Skradin
Eco and Ethno Fair where you
can learn everything you have
ever wanted to know about the
culture and history of the regi-
on. The fair presents the tradi-
tional crafts of Skradin, produc-
tion of jewellery, folk costumes,
handicrafts and ecological food
products. Last year the fair was
extremely well attended both
by the local population and by
tourists to the area and this year
the fair is planning to build on
those results to produce an even
bigger and better occasion. It is
a great opportunity to pick up
a traditional, local souvenir or
to treat yourself to some home-
grown produce or even a bottle
of wine or two!
Ecology in its heart
There are few towns in this
area that have such a rich hi-
story as Skradin. In fact as far
back as the 13th century the ci-
ty of Skradin had regulations for
working the land in the area. In
the following turbulent years the
town of Skradin lost its title as a
city, only to get it back again in
1997, and with the surrounding
villages the population has rea-
ched 4,000 people. Cultivating

Local delicacies are always a hit especially for those with a sweet tooth
land and exploiting the riches
from the depths of the river and
sea have always been the main
activities of the inhabitants of
the Skradin area. Proof of that
is revealed in findings from the
age of Antiquity such as the Ro-
man villa rustica containing the
remains of wine and olive pre-
sses and tanks! Being excellent
seamen, the Liburnians shipped
their products even before the
Roman period on vessels called
liburna. It is no wonder that
those activities were legally re-
gulated as far back as in the 13th
century in the already mentio-
ned Statute of the town of Skra-
din. The agricultural tradition of
the inhabitants of Skradin is best
embodied in the renowned Be-
drica family of wine merchants
and viticulturists. The famous
wine cellars of the Bedric fa-
mily, which had their debut at
the Grand Prix wine fair in the
French city of Toulouse back in
1932 and has in total, recorded
a total of 200 years of tradition
in the wine business. Viticulture
and wine production are not an
exception, the same applies for
olive growing, honey producti-
on, fishery – centuries of life in
the rhythm of nature and the
changing seasons have created
an art in itself. As in the past, so
in the present, eco-products are
produced on small family farms
and can be found on richly laid
out tables in Skradin. Skradin is
well known for its fish specialti-
es which are offered in many of
the restaurants there today. Let

•• What does the Day of Vodice
mean to you?
The Day of the City is a very
special day in the year when we
celebrate our yesterday, today
and tomorrow, I am proud that
I was born exactly here in the
most beautiful city in the world.
I was born in Vodice, grew
up here, have a family and ho-
me here. My parents and their
parents were also born here.
Everything in Vodice is familiar,
every tree, street and face. My
roots and heart are all here. I am
extremely proud of my little city
and my fellow citizens. Vodice
has a very rich history in whi-
ch with a joint goal the citizens
achieved in making Vodice was
it is today, through their hard
work. Exactly due to this entre-
preneurial spirit in Vodice our
city has a bright future.
•• How will the city celebrate
this special day?
Although the Day of the Ci-
ty is celebrated on the 3rd of
May, on the day of St. Jeline,
the patron saint of the city, the
celebrations will last the whole
week. An assortment of events
will occur that week including
cultural and sporting events in
which will participate all asso-
ciations in the city as well as
children from the local schools
and kindergartens. The celebra-
tions will be accompanied by
music from the Kolo choir from
Sibenik, Kristal Sladorana from
Zupanje and Teater Licem u Lice
(face to face) from Split.
•• How will the celebrations of
the City of Vodice differ from
previous years?
In the past the Day of the City
was marked only with processi-
ons and holy masses, but since
those early days the program of
events has become richer and
longer every year. This year, due
to the local elections, the offici-
al meeting of the town council
will be postponed. On the main
square on the 3rd of May, after
the procession and holy mass,
there will be a full day of cultu-
ral events. For sports lovers the
activities on that day will inclu-
de the final of the football tour-
nament “Marinko Kardum” and
also a hill climbing race as well
as a regatta with yachts from
the Optimist class, not forgetting
competitions in windsurfing.

••Što Dan Vodica Vama predstavlja?
Dan grada je onaj poseban svečani dan
u godini kad slavimo naše jučer, danas i su-
tra, ponosni što smo rođeni upravo ovdje,
u najljepšem gradu na svijetu.
U Vodicama sam rođena, tu sam odra-
sla, imam svoju obitelj i dom. U Vodicama
su rođeni moji roditelji i njihovi prije njih.
Ovdje je sve poznato i blisko, svako stablo,
ulica i lice. Ovdje su moji korijeni i srce. Vrlo
sam ponosna na maj grad i moje sugrađa-
ne. Radišni, sposobni, uporni i srčani Vodi-
čani, težačko primorsko mjesto pretvorili
su u vodeću turističku destinaciju. Vodice
imaju bogatu povijest u čijem su stvaranju,
jednim dijelom, sudjelovali sami Vodičani,
njihovi postupci, djela i odluke. Upravo
zbog poduzetničkog vodičkog duha naš
grad ima sjajnu budućnost.

Nekada se Dan grada obilježavao samo
procesijom i misom, a potom je program
svake godine bivao sve bogatiji i duži. Ove
će godine, zbog izbora, izostati svečana
sjednica u povodu Dana grada, ali će se
na glavnom gradskom trgu, 03. svibnja,
nakon procesije i mise u župnoj crkvi, cijeli
dan održavati bogati kulturno umjetnički
program. Ljubitelji sportskih aktivnosti taj

The Cathedral of
st. Jacob in Sibenik
The St. Jacob’s cathedral, the cathe-
dral of Sibenik, built for over a century,
is a testimony of persistency, sacrifice and
belief of the generations of inhabitants of
Sibenik. The cathedral dominates the city
skyline for miles around and is a good po-
int of navigation whilst in the Old City of
Sibenik. By many things it is unique not
only in Croatian architecture, but in Eu-
rope as well. It is entirely built of stone no
other material was used in its construc-
tion. It is also unique by the connecting
structure of stone slabs and ribs, with no
binding material. It is also unique among
renaissance churches by its trefoil front
facade. Finally, it is unique by the har-
mony of its architecture and the row of
71 realistic sculptural portraits around
saturday

the apses. Documents preserved from
the time of the building of the cathedral
show evidence of contributions from the
entire community in its construction, as
well as from many local individuals as
well, including a large number of dome-
stic stone-dressers, builders and artisans.
Probably the most important among
them is Mr. Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac,
who came from Zadar, and who the town
of Sibenik commissioned in 1441 to take
over the job of the proto-master of the
cathedral of Sibenik. The cathedral and
the nearby renaissance town hall, other
churches, palaces, and the Prince’s Palace
presently housing the County Museum,
make probably the most beautiful town
square of the Croatian urban heritage.«

rnati National Park
Ko
An oasis of islands framed in a deep
blue background of the Adriatic Sea
»On the last day of
the Creation God
desired to crown
His work and thus
created Kornati
Islands out of tears,
stars and breath«
George Bernard Shaw,
1856 - 1950
In the central part of Croatian
Adriatic Sea, about 15 Nm to the
west of the city of Sibenik, 7 Nm
to the southwest from the island
of Murter, or 15 Nm to the south
from the town of Zadar, there is
amazing group of islands named
the Kornati archipelago. The be-
auty and singularity of the arc-
hipelago caused authorities in
1980 to proclaim a bigger part
of the area a national park. Since
then certain modifications of its
borders have been made, so that
nowadays Kornati National Park
occupies an area of about 220
km2 (54.000 acres). There are
89 islands, islets and reefs wit-
hin the area of Kornati National
Park (238 km of the coastline),
what makes it the most indented
group of islands in the whole of
the Mediterranean. The land
saturday

part of Kornati National Park
covers less than 1/4 of its total
area, but the values of its lan-
dscapes, the "crowns" (vertical
cliffs) on the islands facing the
open sea, and interesting reli-
ef structures, make this part of
Kornati National Park unique.
There are no permanent settle-
ments in Kornati. Simple houses
in well-protected coves such as
Vruje, Kravjačica, Lavsa and ot-
hers are used by land owners
as temporary shelters. There
are around 20 restaurants and
taverns within the Kornati Na-
tional Park. They offer quality
domestic cuisine that mostly in-
clude seafood specialties (fish,
crabs and seafood) and dome-
stic lamb from the Kornati area.
This lamb is renowned and hig-
hly sought after in Croatia due to
its distinctive flavor and quality.
Some restaurants also offer “in-
ternational” food for those who
are not very fond of the typical
Kornati cuisine. Most of the
land owners are from the island
of Murter. The Kornati subma-
rine area, whose biocenosis are
considered to be the richest in
the Adriatic Sea, and also the
magnificent geomorphology of
the sea bed attracts divers from
all over the world who come to
enjoy endless, unforgettable sub-
marine adventures. Diving visits
to the Kornati National Park are
allowed only in organized and
approved diving groups. There-
fore, if you intend to dive in the
National Park (which we highly
recommend), please contact one
of the diving centers authorized
to perform this activity within
the Kornati National Park. Wi-
thin the Park there are seven
zones set aside for diving visits.
It is hard to recommend which
one you should use. Kornati tru-
ly is a wonder of nature and well
worth a day out of your holiday
schedule to experience, whether
you prefer an active day of wa-
ter sports, hiking and diving or
just to enjoy the views and try
the local cuisine it’s truly a day
that you’ll never forget. As the
director of the park, Mr. Neven
Baus, commented for The Sibe-
nik Times “The Kornati National
Park is truly something special
and in many ways unique. All
of the guests that I have spo-
ken to are more than pleased
with their tour. The nature is
so amazing that you can’t see
something like this every day.
Seeing the guest’s faces as they
visit the park for the first time
tells me everything, a picture is
worth a thousand words.” Altho-
ugh obviously the park is busier
through the summer season it is
also interesting to visit out of the
season when the crowds are less
“Normally our season runs from
Easter somewhere until the end
of October.
However the National Park is
open all year round. Of course
during the winter months from
November until March we don’t
have many guests and the ones
that do come tend to be guests
from Croatia” said Mr. Baus.
Kornati National Park is certa-
inly a must see destination for
guests to the Sibenik county, its
beauty is unforgettable and its
nature is incomparable.«

Clean Croatia
Croatia is among the 20
cleanest countries in the world
The US magazine Forbes on
Saturday published a list of the
world's cleanest countries, ran-
ked according to an index de-
veloped by Columbia and Yale
Universities, with Croatia ran-
king 20th on the global scale and
first in Eastern Europe and Cen-
tral Asia. With an Environmental
Performance Index (EPI) score
of 84.6 out of 100, Croatia takes
20th place on the list of the cle-
anest countries, which is topped
by Switzerland and Scandinavi-
an countries. Fourteen Europe-
an countries are among the 20
cleanest. "Croatia recognises the
value of tourism and makes clean
beaches a priority. The country,
which lies across the Adriatic Sea
from Italy, offers visitors ample,
healthy fishing stocks and free-
dom from waterborne disease.
But the legacy of decades of co-
mmunist rule endures: Soviet-era
industry pumps out greenhouse
gasses and particulates, causing
the country's air quality to suf-
fer. Croatia's overall biodiversity
index score is just 14, vs. a still-
weak 34.8 for the region," reads
the Forbes article "The World's
Cleanest Countries". Columbia
University's Center for Internati-
onal Earth Science Information
Network and Yale University's
Center for Environmental Law
and Policy developed the index
to highlight the cleanest countri-
es, and give laggards the oppor-
tunity to benchmark efforts to
improve their own environments
and the health of their citizens.
Switzerland tops the list with an
EPI score of 95.5. It is followed by
saturday
april 25th 2009.
Sweden and Norway with a sco-
re of 93.1. The non-EU countries
in the top 20 are Costa Rica (5),
New Zealand (7) and Colombia
(9). Europe scores consistently
well in EPI's environmental he-
alth ranking, which measures
the effects of pollution on human
health. A second broad measure,
ecosystem vitality, measures the
health of fisheries, the amount
of greenhouse gases a country
pumps into the air and how we-
ll it preserves the diversity of its
plants and animals. EPI resear-
chers caution that the informati-
on used to develop the scale of-
ten comes from local sources and
can be of less-than-ideal quality,
especially in developing countri-
es. They ranked 149 countries,
and left the remaining 50 or so
off the list for insufficient data,
reads the Forbes article.
The town of Tisno showed
once again that is a leader in
the Sibenik County in ecological
matters when it held an action to
clean the public areas, beaches
and sea. The action entitled was
held on the 18th of April from
9 o’clock in the morning till 1
o’clock in the afternoon and a
large number of local people
turned up to lend a hand. Divers
dredged the bottom of the sea in
the Tisno cannel and removed
an assortment of waste materials
from car tyres to plastic bottles.
The whole event was livened up
by the brass band “Nanditschwa-
ilera” from Germany. The results
of this action will certainly help
to keep Tisno’s reputation as a Tisno – a great eco example
eco-friendly town.«

Wine Tradition

The Sibenik area is famous culture. In the 1930’s sparkling

for its tradition of wine pro-
duction. It history dates from
the period before the birth of
Christ when vine yards were
worked by the ancient Greeks
and Romans. From the middle
of the 15th century to the 20th
century Sibenik became well
known in Europe for its wine
wines from Sibenik were extre-
mely popular in Paris and the
Vatican. The most well known
grapes from the Sibenik region
are Babić, Debit, Plavina, Lasin
and Maraština. The most po-
pular spirits (rakija) which are
served as an appetiser before
meals are travarica and loza.

Donkeys

The donkey is a symbol of Dal-
matia. Without this noble, timid,
stubborn and very hardworking
animal life would have been very
different in Dalmatia. People
wouldn’t have been able to move
so much stone, harvest so many
grapes, make roads and paths or
build so many houses, villages
or towns. Men brought water by
donkey, climbed hills and moun-
tains, for people the donkey was
the key to success and hope for the
future. And more importantly the
donkey became man’s best friend
and companion. In a sign of gra-
titude for this unique animal the
towns of Tribunj and Primošten
have both placed a statue to the
donkey in the centre of the town.
In Tribunj on the first Saturday in
August is held the biggest and most
well known “race of the donkeys”
along the coast of the Adriatic.

Sibenik Children’s Festival

The city of Sibenik has held a the 48th anniversary because at

festival in the name of children
since 1958. At the beginning the
festival was named the Yugosla-
vian Children’s festival, and then
in 1991 the name was changed to
the International Children’s Festi-
val. This year the festival should
have marked its 50th anniver-
sary, although in reality it was
the beginning the festival was
held once every two years. The
International Children’s Festival
is a multi-medial cultural event,
in fact the festival includes the
best of everything for children. It
is held over two weeks, from the
last week of June and the first
week of July.

Dalmatian Chanson

The evenings of Dalmatian ted by the Institute of Croatian

Chanson has been held in Sibe-
nik since 1998. It is today the hi-
ghest quality Croatian festival of
Chanson. Many performers from
all over Croatia attend including
four of the leading Croatian ar-
tists. The festival has in fact won
the prestigious Porin award four
times. These awards are presen-
Music and the festival has won
the award in 2001, 2004, 2006
and 2007. This kind of success has
not been achieved by any other
festival in Croatian. The evenings
of Dalmatian Chanson is tradi-
tionally held on the Republic of
Croatia Square on the first Friday
after the 15th of August.

The City Hall

The City Hall is located in the
central city square (Trg Republi-
ke Hrvatske), formerly known as
Plathei Communis. It is a very
harmonious and airy Renais-
sance style building built from
1533-1536. The ground floor in-
cludes porch with semi-circular
arches supported by columns,
which was an access to the for-
mer public utilities offices. On
the first floor is the representati-
ve hall in which city councilmen
would meet. In December 1943,
during allied air strikes, the Ci-
ty Hall building was completely
destroyed and was restored after
the war, in its original shape and
appearance, and the internal
area was organized and equi-
pped in accordance to the needs
of new functions.
