Blunders in the Gulf

Comment 1st October 2019

More than previously – or so media dramatisation makes it seem to us – the world stage is witnessing unexpected twists and turns that are tense and implicitly dangerous

H.E. Raul Bartolomé Molina, Ambassador of Spain to Serbia

Spanish Support Remains

Interviews 1st October 2019

Not playing along with the majority is always difficult in life. Spain’s stance on the Kosovo issue is too well known in the international community and among our other partners in the EU. And although it sometimes has some costs to our country, Spain will continue supporting Serbia on the Kosovo issue and working constructively to ensure peace and stability in the whole region, since we do strongly believe that is the right thing to do according to international law - Raul Bartolome Molina

What’s Wrong With The News?

Feature 1st October 2019

The rise of data analytics has made journalists and their editors confident that they know what the people want. Why, then, did almost one-third of respondents to the Reuters Institute’s latest Digital News Report say that they regularly avoid news altogether?

Looming Challenges Require Bolder Political Responses

Focus 1st October 2019

Although Serbia has for years been living in a state of permanent election campaigning, current developments are adding new steam to political dynamics, thus capturing the attention of the international and national public, and making the upcoming 2020 elections a hotter issue than previous votes. However, political responses are failing to address strategic societal and economic challenges that require the close attention of the incumbent government and political contenders

Take Care Of Your Online Presence

Business Dialogue 1st October 2019

Having an online presence provides an opportunity for businesses of all sizes and from all over the world to reach out to a broader customer base, to hire international suppliers and to operate more efficiently. However, the world of online business also needs to overcome potential scams and security risks. Data breaches and cyber theft aren’t problems that are only faced by big companies. A successful cyber attack could seriously damage any business and cause financial problems for any company and its customers, while seriously damaging a business’s reputation

Yoshihiro Nakamats

Japan’s Wackiest Inventor

Entrepreneurship 1st October 2019

Japan has a storied history of technical wizardry, but even then Yoshiro Nakamatsu (born 1928) stands out as a cut above the rest. Better known as Dr NakaMats, he’s a celebrity inventor who claims to have held over 4,000 patents, which would be a world record. He’s known for his loopy, goof-ball demeanour, which makes him something of a cross between Nikola Tesla and Willy Wonka

Gordana Danilović Grković, Acting Director of Science Technology Park Belgrade

Problems are Challenges for Youngsters

Profile 1st October 2019

I worked in science for a long time and am fascinated by the scientific research sector, the abundance of knowledge that exists there, conceived technologies, methods, prototypes etc. That is really our wealth. That’s what the world calls ‘potential for innovation’, and in all analyses our best rating is precisely in that part. Where we lag behind the rest of the world is in the commercialisation of innovation

Chilean Contemporary Art

Less Obvious Language

Art 1st October 2019

When it comes to the global contemporary art scene, Chile doesn’t appear to be among its MVPs – at least not at first glance. However, for those wanting to delve beyond the mainstream and get to know the exotic outskirts of the discipline, the Chilean art story might just be among the most compelling today, with a culture that’s quite different from the one known by Western civilisation

He is a cartoonist, illustrator, graphic artist, artist in the service of the press and the recipient of the greatest national and international awards. He says that humourists and cartoonists have been considered insane for centuries.
