Bilder für Sie : zur Erinnerung an unsere Tour anbei ein paar von unseren Fotos. Wir möchten uns nochmals ganz herzlich bei Ihnen bedanken für die schöne Reise durch die Tara und Zlatibor Berge und für Ihre freundliche und aufmerksame Betreuung. Die Reise hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir fühlten uns stets gut aufgehoben bei Ihnen. Meine Schwester und meine Nichten sind gestern wieder nach Paris zurückgeflogen. Wir haben den letzten gemeinsamen Tag vor der Abreise noch in Novi Sad verbracht und können jetzt sehr gut nachvollziehen, wieso Sie das Leben dort ruhiger und entspannter finden als in Belgrad.

Our group had a great vacation in Serbia, thank you for your help! Regards, ------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Prof. Tihomir Vejnović, Thank you for your hospitality and warm welcoming during our visit in Novi Sad. We were impressed by the friendly atmosphere and pleased to discover that we have so many common fields of interest; the discussions were interesting and helpful to identify new subjects for future academic collaboration for both institutions. I, personally, feel that signing a new cooperation agreement between the two universities, will strength the relations previously established and improve the quality of interregional education; I also hope that your time schedule will allow you to visit our University soon. Best regards and wishes for the upcoming Christmas Holidays and a Happy New Year 2013.

We wish Panacomp wonderful growth and prosperity! Warmest regards. Daan and Ankie van Wyk J.D. (Daan) van Wyk - Visiting Professor (Research) Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Science University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park Campus, Kingsway, Johannesburg daan@ieee.org --------------------------------------------------- Dear Ivanka, after a fascinating and rewarding trip to Serbia and Novi Sad, we safely arrived at home last night. We had a very gentle ride to the airport, and also the flight to Frankfurt was just fine. The only delay we had (1 hour) was our domestic flight back to Hannover. Many thanks to you and your team who made this wonderful experience possible for us! With best regards from Axel and Beate Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Prof. Dr.-Ing. A.

It was sheer pleasure to come here: beautiful country, even more beautiful people (friendly, accommodating, patient) and unbeliveable wine and food. The attendants to FEPPCON had never before been spoilt like this. Sept.9 2012 - Daan van Wyk (The father of FEPPCON) ------------------------------------- Dear Panacomp We had a fantastic travel to Serbia. Most people were open and friendly, and the prices were at an affordable level. We enjoyed the visit at Studenica Monastery. We had a nice big room with a view. The place had nice staff and good service. But there are room for improvement. The supper was nice. But the breakfast was a bit strange. There was no vegtables like tomatoes an cucumbers. Tunar for breakfast is not my favorite, and it was quite difficult to get the oil of the cheese. Margarine should not bee served in a restaurant. It came to a suprise to us, that coffee was not included in the breakfast. We enjoyed the stay at Jonovic Family rural household in Crnajka village a lot. Good atmosphere. Beautifull mountains, nice food and good company. Yours sincerely, Byrial Bjørst, Denmark ---------------------------------------------- Dear Ivanka, We have just come back from our holidays. We have really enjoyed very much staying in rural households. We have been delighted with the Vracaric family in Kremna. The room in the old house was very nice and Slavica is really a great cook. All the family is very welcoming and they were always doing their best for us. Even the little boys will be careful not to make noise in the mornings to let us rest until very late. Slavica is very patient and speaks slowly so we were able to understand each others and we were happy to try to speak serbian. It is really the best place to stay to visit Tara and Mokra Gora. We have also enjoyed very much our stay in Gujanicic hamlet. It was of course less comfortable, maybe one more shower will be good (but it is cheaper), anyway we were staying with very nice people and the place is really great. You just have to walk a little and you can see the eagles and the Uvac. Ljubinka organised for all of us a day trip by boat on the Uvac which was very very great. Uvac nature reserve is worth seeing. She also cooks very well and very healthy and we tasted buckwheat specialities. Staying in these households, we were able to meet and enjoy staying with serbian people. It is the best way to travel and it is better to spend some days there. The hospitality is always wonderful ; when you leave, you are leaving friends. I hope many people will visit these households, I am sure they will enjoy it. Best regards, Sophie and Alan, France-Serbia ----------------------------------------------------- Hey Ivanka, it's Paula, one of the German girls you enabled a wonderful trip to Donji Milanovac. At first I want to thank you for your help, we appreciate a lot. During our trip we met so many wonderful obliging and hospitable people as you, who were always willed to help us and want to show us their favorite place of their country. Already at the bus ride from Belgrade to Donji Milanovac we got great impressions of the landscape. Especially the way along the Danube which is surrounded by the beautiful mountains on both sides deeply impressed me. As you told us we were already expected in Donji Milanovac. The two very friendly guys, showed us a little bit around and brought us to the wonderful appartement. Since, we arrived one day later, because of the trouble we had with the luggage, we couldn't go to the national park. It was a pity, but we still had two very nice days there, just spending some time at the little beach or go hiking. Also here we met very nice and open citizens, who wanted to take us with their boats out of the Danube and show around. After those two days we left to go further east to spend some days at a nice mountain sea. In the end we only had time left for Sarajevo but no other place in Bosnia. I actually didn't expected such a beautiful city. Soon we felt totally comfortable in the little oriental streets and wanted to try all the different kind of foods and sit in the many little cafes. Guys we met their showed us around and helped us to have not a totally touristic view of the city. We never expected anything like that, when we left Germany, we actually did not have a lot of expectations of Serbia and Bosnia. Actually it exceeded all my expectations. I am definitely want to comeback one day and I am seriously thinking about spending a semester abroad in one of this countries. Ivanka, we are very thankful for your help. Kind regards (also to the rest of your team) Paula, Germany --------------------------------------- Hello, I have fond memories of both locations that I visited, this kind of travel helps me to get to know the people a little more. I could not have done this without your organization. Nikki Dabbs, UK ------------------------------------- Dear Ivanka! Peter, Robert and I spent some unforgettable, fantastic days in gorgeous central & west Serbia! We were totally surprised by the pure nature of the mountains in the regions of Tara, Golija and Kopaonik. The guest families were so friendly and the food delicious!

We visited Fruska Gora, the monasteries of Vrdnik, Jazak, Grgteg and Krusedol, keeping others for our next travel, had a very nice stay in the Tara mountains, had long walks, visited Raca, Jezero Zaovine and Mokra Gora. We crossed over to the Canyon of Ovcar-Kablar, visited the monasteries (Blagovestenje, Vavedenje and others), had a nice spa in Ovcar-Banja, went further to Zica, Studenica and unforgettable Sopocani. We rested out in the wonderful Pester area, crossing at last the border in Prijepolje to Montenegro. We appreciated a lot the hospitality of Serbian people, their friendliness, their sense of humor, their helpfullness and their knowledge of foreign languages. We had very nice moments there, meeting local people. Food was mostly very good, we specially enjoyed the veal and cheese of Pester, fish in Ovcar-Kablar, and all over the traditional breakfast, and the nice liquors ! We found comfort, quietness and friendliness, staying in the nicely designed and located rooms and appartements of Kavana Kurta in Kaluderske Bare (Tara); of Villa Sunce in Ovcar Banja and of Hotel Borici in Sjenica. Breakfast on the terrace of Santa Maria (Canyon of Ovcar-Kablar) was unforgettable too. We had no problems on the road, no trafic jam, roads are good, landscapes amazing ! One word: perfect ! It was our first contact with Serbia, and for sure, not the last one. We expect to make our next trip there during this summer, trying to discover more of the western part, and going slightly further to the east. We hope to see you during the next Brussels Tourism Fair in february, it would be very nice. Thank you for your introduction to your wonderful country, warm regards, Patrick Greeve, Belgium patrick.greeve@gmail.com ----------------------------------- Dear Ivanka, thank you very much for your e-mail. Sorry for the late reply but I've just came back in Prizren. On Saturday I was at the Monastry of Decani for the celebration..there were lots of diplomats and expecially your President. In that occasion I've recalled in my mind our conversations, when we met each other in Albania, on orthodox spiritualism. There was really a wonderful atmosphere! I would to wish you an happy new year and I hope to reach Novi Sad in the future. Best regards. Matteo Brunelli IPSIA - Italian NGO Rr.

We especially enjoyed our meal at the Vila Melodija. Our driver/guide Zlatan was wonderful. And, yes, we did enjoy visiting the monasteries. We look forward to retuning sometime in the future now that we know a little about Serbia. "Thank you for a wonderful meal! We enjoyed it greatly! We thought of our visit with your family as one of the special delights of our visit to Serbia. We arrived home safely to Peoria, Illinois-USA on May 29, 2010. Hopefully, Maria will let me know if she can read my letter alright. We loved the nettle soup also. Maybe Maria can send me the recipe by e-mail sometime. Donna and Warren Wilkins, USA --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Ivanka, Thanks for your email. Sorry have not been in touch, have been meaning to, but things have been hectic back home. "The Taste of Serbia trip was the highlight of our 4 week travelling. Our guide Zlatan was awesome, it was a wonderful and memorable family experience. Great value for money. The girls particularly enjoyed the trip to the organic farm and lunch with our hosts. They thought Zlatan was terrific, and often remarked after we finished the tour 'we miss Zlatan!' Due to the train to Montenegro leaving before we had a chance to say goodbye to Zlatan, could you please forward this email on to him.. Attached are a couple of photos. You can use any words, or photos. Regards, Thanks, Anne Brown, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Ivanka We have just returned home, but our minds and hearts are still with Serbia! We simply cannot thank you enough for all your kindness, generosity and sheer hard work over the last six days. The tour exceeded our wildest expectations, and we have many memories which we will treasure for the rest of our lives. You introduced us to so many wonderful people - monks, priests, nuns - and, of course, the wonderful people of Velika Hoca. We learned so much through your superb translating abilities and have now a real understanding of the challenges facing your beautiful country. We have just finished looking at the many photographs we took - magnificent churches, monasteries, frescoes, scenery, food - and above all, the people. This has made us all the more determined to return one day. Please say a big 'thank-you' to everyone who helped to make our tour so memorable and to Olga and your excellent team. And when there is news of Djuka, please let us know! But especially, please accept our heartfelt thanks to yourself, for giving us the experience of a lifetime. We are privileged to have spent so much time with you, and feel we have a very special friend. With fondest love and best wishes, Margaret and Chris, UK -------------------------------------------------------------------- On our way home from Greece with our caravan, we had to travel home by Servia. We did not prepare this stay but we just happened to find a little camping about 15 km southeast of Belgrade. We did not know what to expect, but it was a great experience. The camping was small, but the surrounding was beautiful and quiet. Near the river Danube and small little villages. We were the only foreigners and maybe that is the reason why we didn't have to pay for our stay and the owner even brought us homemade bread every morning for free too ! When we cycled to the river Danube we saw a fisherman and without asking he offered me his fishing, We found that people in Servia are very, very kind. We stayed 3 days longer than was planned. And I did not mention the delicious food yet ! This year we will go on vacation to Croatia, but on our way home we surely will stay in Servia for at least one week. People will never regret a stay in Servia, for it is a great country !!! And that what we will tell to everybody who asks us. Thank you for your hospitality ! H. Voortman Twello Holland ---------------------------------------------------- Sorry for my late response, but I was out on audits and trainings almost all days since I was in Serbia. Let me also thank you once more for perfect organization and set up! I had a very interesting time in Serbia and was very impressed by the country and people I met. Thank you very much for your help - everything was perfectly organized and I really enjoyed my stay in Belgrade and Novi Sad ! Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. S.-D.Costa ------------------------------------------------------ Just a few words for you. How I decided in the beginning of 2009 to go to Servie, now finishing our trip we are very very glad we did it. Excellent, keep it authentic! Daniel - Streamtheworld Dear Ivanka, Yesterday have got well at home. A lot ot thanks for so amaizing and wonderfull tour what you and your team have organized!

As for the images you sent me, and for which I am really very excited, I will make the mentions you indicated me, to which I would like to add here my deep and truly most sincere gratitude, which is beyond words. Nicoletta Isar, Docteur es Lettres /Sorbonne/ Bemerkungen zur individuellen Serbien-Reise 20.-23.5.10 Mit der Durchführung der Reise sind wir sehr zufrieden. Dies ist in erster Linie dem ausgezeichneten Reiseleiter Slatan Ilic zu verdanken und natürlich auch der Agenturleiterin von Panacomp, Ivanka Tasic, indem sie nämlich auf unsere Wünsche bezüglich des Reiseverlaufs eingegangen ist und alles dementsprechend organisiert hat. Slatan Ilic ist ein erfahrener Reiseleiter, kompetent und ruhig. Er hatte gelesen, dass wir an der Architektur der Klöster und der Fresken-Ausmalung der Kirchen interessiert sind und hatte sich bestens vorbereitet, so dass er uns überall gut informieren konnte. Er hat überdies immer die Leute, die in den jeweiligen Klöstern oder anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten die Aufsicht führten, gebeten, uns etwas zu erzählen. Von sich aus hat er uns vorgeschlagen, noch weitere Klöster, die in der Nähe unseres Weges lagen, zu besuchen, auch wenn sie nicht im Reiseplan standen. So haben wir viel Schönes erleben können. Dafür sind wir ihm dankbar. Der Fahrer, der uns am letzten Tag nach Belgrad fuhr, kann – entgegen der Auskunft zum Reiseverlauf - nur ganz wenige Brocken Englisch . Wenn etwas Unvorhergesehenes passiert wäre, wäre ein Gespräch mit ihm unmöglich gewesen. Aber zum Glück war Ivanka Tasic zur selben Zeit wie wir im Hotel Balasevic und konnte ihn vor der Fahrt genau instruieren. Wolfsburg, den 24.5.10 Monika und Christian Klarhoefer, Germany ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Accommodation was acceptable, people very hospitable and kind. Meals were delicious, with great variations. Often too much for us – old people. Drive with three persons in a car from our excellent driver – our Tour leader. Activities : all things of our interest are visited. Communication very good. Everywhere we were waited for ! We are received like V.I.P.s and as old friends. Especially the friends of DJERDAP !!!Our tour guide Ivanca Tasic made our tour a 100% success ! A fine combination of nature and Culture of Serbia. Many minor road are horrible ! Start of the rout very complex : Departure at Shiphol was planned on May 17. Six O clock : No Flying possible because of the ash-cloud. Surely till 14,00. Advice on TV : do not come to Schiphol. On TV many departures canceled, but Belgrade delayed till 15,00 O clock. We phoned at 11,00 to ask how to handle and advicewas : come immediately to the Airport. We managed to get the 11,52 train in Moppel and arrived 13,37 on the airport. No Belgrado on the scale !!! Information told us Belgrade was canceled ! We went to Departures III in search for the JAT Desk. After a while we found an empty desk. We tried to phone for information but no success. 14,15 a man appeared, lated on another. It turned out that their passengers had gone to Brussels by bus at 14,00. We waited till 15,30 and then came the advice to go next day : at 11,00. We should be at the JAT Desk. So we took the train to go home. One of the JAT persons put the blame on us : We were too late !!! Quite unfriendly !!! On May 18 we had to pay 110 EUR each to change our tickets. After that we had no problem and more and have had wonderful holidays in Serbia !!! Durk and Joop Van der Zee, Holland ------------------------------------------------ Dear Ivanka and Jadranka!!!! -------------------------------------------- Hello! We had a wonderful time in Serbia! Thank you for your help in planning this special part of our trip. Our driver was fantastic. Nicholai was very friendly and kind and patient, and a good driver. He was very helpful during our time in Crvenka. Please send our best to him as he finishes his studies. We also really enjoyed the tour with Goran to the winery and fortress. This was very interesting. We learned so much. Your country has many beautiful sights and historic treasures. And although we were a little hesitant because of events in the news, we found the people to be very warm and friendly. Once again, thank you for your help. Warm regards, Marti Gutwein, USA --------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your hospitality and all your efforts in planning the conference, and efforts of your staff. Overall, I believe the conference was worthwhile venture for us as a company - although it is always difficult to judge the commercial success of a conference, especially so soon afterward. Kent Falkenstein, Seistronix Prof. Dr. Alfred Frasheri ------------------------------------------------- We thank you for the successful organization of the 5th BGC in Belgrade. ----------------------------------------------------------------- You are the supreme organizer of conference planning - your enthusiasm and professionalism are excellent /including your budgeting skills/ ! Thank you for smiles and wisdom during the Balkan Geo Conference 2009. Thank you for all your assistance with the Conference. You have been a great help in making this conference a success. I can not imagine a more professional group led by a highly professional woman - Ivanka. The EXPO was interesting and well organized. The event staff were extremely helpful. My only negative point was that the expo hall was too hot !!! Please install modern air conditioning !!! Thank you again for all the help. I was glad to participate to the meeting of BGS. Greece and Servia were always aside. I hope I did the same to the Servian colleagues. --------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for the arrangements and all the work you did for the conference. I appreciated the help and the arrangements, including the hotel, were good. I had brought my camera with the intention if getting pictures of the people that I met and worked with. Good afternoon Ivanka First of all many thanks to you and to Goran for putting so much time and effort in planning and implementing the second "Johns Tailored Tour". Also thank you to Boris and Victoria for being such excellent guides. I saw so much in just three days that it feels as if it is more than a week since I was last working. It was also a pleasure to meet Anna – Goran's girl in Belgrade. She is delightful. He is a very lucky guy. Not only does she look great but she has a fantastic personality! Kind regards and many thanks, John, UK ----------------------------------------------- It was really a great pleasure to cooperate with your team at our PSI Constituency Meeting for Central Europe held in Skopje, Macedonia, on 12-13 January 2009. Your services were very professional. But I also appreciate your friendly behavior and the fact that you were willing to travel to Macedonia to help us in the last moment in a difficult situation... Thank you very much on behalf of PSI. I hope to continue cooperating with you. This year we plan to organize various activities in our sub-region including Serbia. E.g. we will have a meeting for energy trade unions from South Eastern Europe in Belgrade on 17-18 September and it will be in -------------------------------------------------------------- "Hi Ivanka, we had a pleasure meeting you at Taktons. It's such a shame in only happens once in two years ! We'll try to see you before that ! Once again, many thanks for everything, and our best wishes. Edo" Edvard Potisk, AVITECH Vienna

Etwas verspätet möchte ich mich sehr herzlich bedanken. Ich und meine Kollegin hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in Guca. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an unsere Gastfamilie sowie an Tanja und Marina. Die beiden hatten alles perfekt organisiert.
Ich hoffe, dass es mich irgendwann wieder nach Serbien verschlägt.
Mit besten Grüssen, André, Switzerland

First of all, your country is so beautiful, the landscape, pure ! The mix of hills and valleys, the trees, much kind of flowers with so different colors !
The very kind people and their strength to develop and reconstruct their beautiful country !
Your country with its old history will survive because of its brave people !
One of them, you Ivanka, is the best and beautiful visit-card, a promoter, passionate, honest, with pure and lovely heart. It was not only the way how you explained the story of Serbia, its culture, but I saw the human Ivanka, with a golden heart and mind and none of bitterness. So to look in your heart is great present.
Again I learn : forgive your enemy ! I'll try it with more intention !
Thank you for all you did for us and may God bless you and your family.

Fred and I made it back to USA on the 14th Oct with many wonderful memories and a persistent respiratory infection. Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your custom tour service for us on our visit to Novi Sad and the Vojvodina region. Each day went smoothly, was well organized and included everything we asked to do and see.....and even more. Our guide, Goran, was a fount of knowledge. Witty and agreeable, he was a pleasure to be with. The private driver was also personable and friendly, willing to add his knowledge to our many, many questions. Professional all the way around.
I would recommend your agency's service to anyone visiting Novi Sad and/or the Vojvodina region. You have a wonderful team.
Thanks again, Mary and Fred Kerestesy, USA

We found that our accommodations in Hotel Continental Belgrade and the congress facilities were perfect. We hope that this congress will open an opportunity to perform a future scientific initiations between the Balkan countries in the frame of EU supported projects or bi-(multi) lateral cooperation. On the other hand, representations of the friends in Panacomp, and their approaches were also so kind, highgrade professionally and excellent even during the stressful and endless requests of the Turkish participants. We appreciated them for their patients and helps.
By the way, during our half day visit to Kalamegdan on May 12 (Tuesday); we also clearly understood that why the lungs of Istanbul was called "Belgrad Ormanlari-Belgrade Forest" when we looked from the Kalamegdan to the green forest where Sava and Danube rivers joins over there. Really so beautiful.
