P<br />

"Particularly important alterations in the world are expected in<br />

the area of advert<strong>is</strong>ement and PR over internet", says Jelena<br />

Krstović. "Cr<strong>is</strong><strong>is</strong> drastically reduced marketing budgets in<br />

classic media, while in web media it’s not the case. Online<br />

advert<strong>is</strong>ing continuously increasing, and according to the<br />

information from international organization ZenithOptimedia,<br />

internet in very next year will have share in advert<strong>is</strong>ement of<br />

13,8%."<br />

Situation <strong>is</strong> similar in the domain of public relations. Until<br />

now, it was estimated that first importance was given to the<br />

channels of corporative communications and marketing & PR,<br />

but in several few years, estimation <strong>is</strong> that first place will be<br />

reserved for online communications, then online public<br />

relations, personal communications, then printed and<br />

electronic media.<br />

With the new name, we would like to point out that Corporate<br />

Communications Department <strong>is</strong> coordinating and realizing<br />

communications as umbrella for the whole system and towards<br />

all target groups. Within th<strong>is</strong> communication department are<br />

PR, marketing and CSR. The objective of integrated<br />

communications <strong>is</strong> creating and preserving unique style of<br />

communications, adequate to the corporate culture of <strong>Delta</strong><br />

complex from the organizers of the Universiade and begun<br />

final arrangements.<br />

"It <strong>is</strong> provided by the Agreement that we deliver apartments<br />

and business prem<strong>is</strong>es to the purchasers to the end of the year.<br />

However, we will try to do it earlier. Depending on the pace of<br />

the works, I believe we will <strong>su</strong>rpr<strong>is</strong>e very first residents with<br />

the apartment keys in the middle of October, and then<br />

<strong>su</strong>ccessively all other residents", says Milos Stanojevic, Sales<br />

Manager of the Blok 67 Associates Company.<br />

<strong>In</strong>terested purchasers now may see final layout<br />

of apartments and entire residential area,<br />

plastering of the walls and, of course, fix all damages<br />

originated in particular apartments during sportsmenstudents<br />

stay, or during removing furniture. Obligations from<br />

the contract will be fulfilled, thus apartments will be delivered<br />

to the purchasers in perfect condition.<br />

"The fact that we reas<strong>su</strong>med management of all residential<br />

area <strong>is</strong> convenient especially for the ongoing sales of<br />

apartments. Now, interested citizens may observe the quality<br />

of buildings and residential units, as well as the layout of the<br />

entire complex", Stanojević says. "Even now it <strong>is</strong> obvious that<br />

Belville really represents completely new residential concept,<br />

which enables unique, modern and above all, excellence in<br />

lifestyle."<br />

innovative construction, functionality, contemporary technical<br />

solutions and unique system of the area development in the<br />

residential area itself. Belville <strong>is</strong> designed in accordance with<br />

the rules of the modern design while maximizing practical<br />

aspect. Beside the vicinity of the <strong>Delta</strong> City shopping center, in<br />

the ground floor of all residential buildings there are business<br />

prem<strong>is</strong>es, which will provide dynamic life of the complex<br />

during the day. Within the residential area, construction of the<br />

school and kindergarten <strong>is</strong> planned.<br />

The residential area <strong>is</strong> connected to the municipality heating<br />

system, with installed air-conditioning in all apartments.<br />

Through entire complex, there are optical installations for<br />

maximal quality of internet connection, telephone and cable<br />

For th<strong>is</strong> type of residential area, maintenance and security are very<br />

important. Services in the area of buildings maintenance, so-called<br />

Serbia as well. With our w<strong>is</strong>h to offer complete service to the<br />

residents of the Belville even after they move in, special service for<br />

<strong>su</strong>ccessfully fin<strong>is</strong>hed wheat harvest on its agricultural lands, in the area of<br />

approximately 4.000 hectares. Except treatment with herbicides, in <strong>Delta</strong> Agrar<br />

compulsory part of the wheat production technology <strong>is</strong> also treatment with<br />

fungicides, which contributed in achieving average outturn of 6,5 t by hectare of JUS<br />

Future Tehnologies<br />

Danubius – investment of<br />

4, 5 million Euros<br />

Mill on<br />

seven floors<br />

D<br />

anubius Novi Sad, company which operates within<br />

<strong>Delta</strong> Agrar since 2006, keeps modernizing the<br />

production by purchasing one of the most<br />

soph<strong>is</strong>ticated mills in Europe.<br />

„New mill <strong>is</strong><br />

completely<br />

computerized. Even<br />

if it occupies seven<br />

floors, complete<br />

power-plant <strong>is</strong><br />

comfortably<br />

managed by only one<br />

operator. One of the<br />

advantages of the<br />

mill <strong>is</strong> extremely<br />

high level of sanitary<br />

protection during the<br />

processing of wheat.<br />

<strong>In</strong> the next year, we<br />

plan to process<br />

100.000 tons of wheat<br />

in that mill“, said<br />

General Manager of<br />

Danubius, Milorad Sredanovic during conversation with<br />

journal<strong>is</strong>ts who have v<strong>is</strong>ited the factory in mid June.<br />

Mill, made by the Sw<strong>is</strong>s manufacturer Buhler, with the<br />

processing capacity of 300 tons of wheat per day, represents<br />

one of the most advanced technological solutions in th<strong>is</strong><br />

domain. Thus it may be said that its installation in Danubius<br />

represents a milestone in the development of the mill industry<br />

in Voivodina and Serbia. The investment into the new plant <strong>is</strong><br />

worth 4,5 million Euros.<br />

„All working <strong>su</strong>rfaces which come into contact with wheat i.e.<br />

products, are made of stainless steel or of special coatings.<br />

Final products before leaving the mill pass throughout socalled<br />

sterilizers, machines which completely eliminate<br />

possible presence of larvae’s and insects. System which <strong>is</strong><br />

cons<strong>is</strong>ted of 20 cameras controls literally each grain and<br />

eliminates all dirt, like stones and dust, which can be found in<br />

repurchased, i.e. stored wheat. Due to above mentioned<br />

character<strong>is</strong>tics of the mill, consequence <strong>is</strong> that the wheat flour<br />

which comes from Danubius complies with the highest world<br />

standards in th<strong>is</strong> area“, emphasized Sredanović.<br />

Furthermore, the Buhler’s mill represents one step further in<br />

preservation of the natural environment. All used quantities of<br />

<strong>Delta</strong> invested 6,000.000 euros<br />

By investing into the most recent Buhler’s mill,<br />

company Danubius with the tradition since<br />

1918, confirmed its intention to keep the leading<br />

position in the region within industry of flour<br />

and paste food. <strong>Delta</strong> invested in th<strong>is</strong> company<br />

more then six million euros, which together with<br />

achieved standards HACCP and ISO 9001:2000<br />

guarantees the highest quality of the products to<br />

the customers as well as sanitary correctness of<br />

the food which comes from Danubius.<br />

the air are<br />

transmitted<br />

through<br />

specially<br />

designed<br />

filters, thus<br />

returning<br />

completely<br />

clear air into<br />

the<br />

atmosphere.<br />

The mill has<br />

extraordinary<br />

record when it<br />

comes to energy efficiency, since that for the procession of one<br />

ton of wheat it con<strong>su</strong>mes only 35 kVh, which <strong>is</strong> half then at<br />

the mills of the previous generation.<br />

With the installation of th<strong>is</strong> new mill, the utilization of raw<br />

material went up by 5% compared by the old power plant. Mill<br />

also enables manufacture of new, specialized sorts of flour,<br />

used in bakery and confectionery industry.<br />

„Until the end of the year we will acquire the device which will<br />

be used for mixing of the various sorts of flours and additives,<br />

worth 550.000 Euros. We also plan to purchase two new lines<br />

for manufacturing of pasta which cost 5,000.000 Euros, and<br />

power plant for shipping, and cost <strong>is</strong> 1,500.000 Euros“, said the<br />

General Manager of Danubius.<br />
