This morning before we left to go south, we had a nice interview at Studio B, a well-known TV station in Serbia.

Ujutro, pre nego što smo krenuli dalje ka jugu Srbije, imali smo prijatan intervju u Sudiju B, jednoj od dobro poznatih TV stanica u ovoj zemlji

On our way, we visited the tomb of the Serbian Patriarch Pavle who blessed the WHR in 2005. These were his words:"...We would kindly ask you to spread love and peace, which we all need in boundless measure, among people on your way. God bless you..."

Usput smo posetili grob srpskog Patrijarha Pavla koji je 2005.g. blagoslovio Svetsku trku harmonije. Ovo su bile njegove reči: "...Molimo vas da na tom putu prenosite ljubav i mir među ljudima koji nam je i te kako potreban. Bog vas blagoslovio..."

Our next stop was Grocka, where a local children's band welcomed us with beautiful voices.

Sledeće mesto bilo je Grocka gde nam je dobrodošlicu poželeo lokalni dečji bend sa svojim lepim glasovima.

As a gift we got a message in a traditional made bottle.

Za poklon smo dobili poruku u tradicionalno napravljenoj boci.

..and now, all together for a group photo...
...a sada svi zajedno za jednu grupnu fotografiju...

..come and buy my delicious peaches...
...dođite i kupite moje ukusne breskve...

..some more delicious peaches...
...još ukusnijih breskvi...

..the most delicious ones...
...najukusnije breskve...

..one step for harmony...
...jedan korak za harmoniju...

In Smederevo a group of children was waiting for us.

U Smederevu nas je čekala grupa dece.

We were received in the Smederevo City Hall, where a representative of the city gave a very moving speech.

Primili su nas u Gradsku kuću gde je predstavnik grada održao veoma dirljiv govor.

They made T-shirts for all the runners!
Napravili su majice za sve trkače!

..the WHR - "siege" of the fortress in Smederovo!...
...Trka harmonije sveta-opsada tvrđave u Smederevu!...

..a group photo...
...grupna fotografija...

The next place on our way was Smederevska Palanka, where children were eagerly expecting us.

Sledeće mesto na našem putu bila je Smederevska Palanka gde su nas deca žudno iščekivala.

..and now, favourite stamping time...
...a sad omiljeno vreme za pečatiranje...

...and a final run through the centre of the city...
...i završno trčanje kroz centar grada...

..some ran...
...neki su trčali...

..some took it easy...
...a neki su našli lakši način...

In Azanja the local girls' handball team welcomed us...

U Azanji nam je dobrodošlicu poželeo mesni ženski rukometni tim...

..and they ran with us...
...i trčale su sa nama...

Again, some runner-friends, but now we are in Velika Plana.

Ponovo prijatelji-trkači, ali sada u Velikoj Plani.

..so much joy everywhere...
...toliko radosti svuda...

..and new friends everywhere...
...i novi prijatelji svuda...

Here we are in Lapovo again, a small city where locals always welcome us so warmly and enthusiastically. Kids prepared many cute performances for us.

Evo nas opet u Lapovu, gradiću gde nas meštani uvek dočekaju srdačno i entuzijastično. Dečica su pripremila mnogo slatkih predstava za nas.

..I know what's the country you come from...
...znam iz koje zemlje dolaziš...

..yes, I feel it, harmony and happiness in my heart...
...da, osećam harmoniju i radost u svom srcu...

At the end of the meeting, the mayor and many kids ran a few metres for harmony in the world with us.

Na kraju susreta, gradonačelnik i mnogo dečice potrčali su nekoliko metara sa nama za harmoniju u svetu.

..natural obstacles...
...prirodne prepreke...

..another one...
...još jedna...

In Jagodina many young runners were waiting for us at the entrance to the city.

U Jagodini su nas mnogi mladi trkači čekali na ulazu u grad.

Jagodina is a city which has blossomed in the last few years. It has a beautiful Water Park that was built recently.

Jagodina je grad koji procvetao u poslednjih nekoliko godina. Ima divan Akva park koji je nedavno izgrađen.

The director of the Water Park greeted us and warmly invited us to visit the Museum of Wax Figures, which is close to the Water Park and also very new.

Direktor Akva parka pozdravio nas je i srdačno pozvao da posetimo Muzej voštanih figura koji se nalazio u blizini Akva parka i koji je takođe novija tvorevina.

..refreshments for everybody...
...osveženje za sve...

In Jagodina we finished our fourth day in Serbia, which was full of happy meetings and smiling faces.

U Jagodini smo završili naš četvrti dan u Srbiji koji je bio preplavljen radosnim susretima i licima koja se smeše.
