Koraci diplomatije kroz Novi Sad
U sklopu koncepta "Walking Dinner" koji kompanija Color Media Communications tradicionalno organizuje već osmu godinu zaredom, uz podršku Град Нови Сад, nekoliko stranih ambasadora prošetalo se Novim Sadom i upoznalo njegove znamenitosti - onako kako se grad najlepše upoznaje: u hodu, kroz priču i susrete.
Goste su dočekali Robert Coban, Ivana Rajinac, Mijat Kontic i Zikica Milosevic, a događaju su prisustvovali predstavnici diplomatskog kora iz Crne Gore, Libana, Jermenije, Kongoa i IOM Serbia
Šetnja je počela u Spomen-zbirka Pavla Beljanskog gde je kustoskinja Jasmina Jakšić Subić goste uvela u kolekciju ove značajne galerije. Ambasadore je posebno zainteresovala izložba fotografija iz života Pavla Beljanskog koji je i sam bio diplomata. Nebojša Đoković, ambasador Crne Gore u Beogradu, izdvojio je zadovoljstvo zbog velikog broja crnogorskih slikara u kolekciji.
Nakon toga, šetnja je zastala pored Hačkara, spomenika jugoslovenskim avijatičarima koji su poginuli prilikom pada aviona koji je nosio humanitarnu pomoć postradalima od zemljotresa u Jermeniji. Pored njega je i nadgrobni spomenik jermenske porodice Čenazi, kao sećanje da je na tom mestu nekada postojala Jermenska crkva, srušena 1963.godine. Na ovom mestu svojim kolegama obratio se i Hayk Khemcyan, šef Misije ambasade Jermenije u Srbiji.
Ambasadori su nastavili pored Gradska kuće i stigli do Katoličke porte, gde su čuli priču o Crkvi Imena Marijinog i ovom delu grada.
Prema tradiciji, uživali su u vojvođanskim specijalitetima i tamburaškoj muzici u restoranu Lazin Salaš. Robert Čoban je podsetio prisutne da će sledeće nedelje biti stoti rođendan slavnog tamburaša Janike Balaža i da će u tu čast Radio-televizija Vojvodine organizovati koncert u Српско народно позориште - Srpsko narodno pozorište, nakon čega su muzičari zasvirali "Osam tamburaša s Petrovaradina".
Upoznavanje sa istorijskom baštinom Novog Sada nastavljeno je u Zmaj Jovinoj ulici i pored Tanurdžićeve palate, a za kraj ambasadori su uživali u desertima u Poslastičarnica CARIGRAD jednoj od najstarijih poslastičarnica u gradu. Za put kući gosti su dobili po jedan tradicionalni mađarski kurtoš kolač.
Celokupna foto-galerija sa događaja objavljena je u posebnom albumu na Facebook stranici Color Media Communications.

Diplomacy in Steps Through Novi Sad
As part of the "Walking Dinner" concept, traditionally organized by Color Media Communications for the 8th year in a row, with the support of Град Нови Сад, a group of foreign ambassadors walked through Novi Sad and discovered its landmarks in the way a city is best experienced: on foot, through stories and encounters.
Guests were welcomed by Robert Coban, Ivana Rajinac, Mijat Kontic and Zikica Milosevic, while representatives of the diplomatic corps from Montenegro, Lebanon, Armenia, Congo, and IOM Serbia attended the event.
The walk began at Spomen-zbirka Pavla Beljanskog, where curator Jasmina Jakšić introduced the guests to the collection of this important gallery. Ambassadors showed particular interest in the photo exhibition from the life of Pavle Beljanski, who was himself a diplomat. Nebojša Đoković, Montenegro’s Ambassador to Belgrade, highlighted his appreciation for the strong presence of Montenegrin painters in the gallery’s collection.
Afterwards, the group paused by the khachkar, a memorial to Yugoslav airmen who lost their lives in a plane crash while delivering humanitarian aid to those affected by the earthquake in Armenia. Nearby stands the gravestone of the Armenian Čenazi family, recalling that an Armenian church once stood on this spot, demolished in 1963. Here, Hayk Khemcyan, Head of Mission of the Armenian representation in Serbia, addressed his colleagues.
The ambassadors continued past the City Hall and reached Katolička porta, where they heard the story of the Church of the Name of Mary and this part of the city.
By tradition, they enjoyed Vojvodina specialties and tamburica music atLazin Salaš.
Robert Čoban reminded guests that next week marks the 100th birthday of the famous tamburica musician Janika Balaž and that Radio-televizija Vojvodine will mark the occasion with a concert atСрпско народно позориште - Srpsko narodno pozorište, after which the musicians played “Osam tamburaša s Petrovaradina.”
Exploring Novi Sad’s historical heritage continued along Zmaj Jovina Street and by Tanurdžić Palace, and ended on a sweet note atPoslastičarnica CARIGRAD, one of the city’s oldest pastry shops. As a farewell gift, guests received a traditional Hungarian kürtőskalács (chimney cake).
The full photo gallery from the event has been published in a dedicated album on the page of Color Media Communications.
