Nusantara took its members and friends on yet another trip this October. This time the destination was Skorenovac, located on the south of Kovin.

A festival is held in Skorenovac each year, on every second Saturday of October. Being the southernmost city in the world to be inhabited by a majority of Hungarians, Nusantara’s members had the opportunity to meet the locals and get a taste of the traditional Hungarian food – goulash, stew, casseroles, and soups prepared from forgotten recipes. They had also visited the Catholic Church, as well as an ethno-Hungarian house, who testifies about the life in Skorenovac in the late 19th century.

A special tourist attraction was meeting Zoltan Dani, colonel of the Yugoslav Army and retired commander of the 250th Division for missile air defense, which was active during the NATO bombing campaign against Yugoslavia. On the night of 27 March 1999, the brigade collapsed a supposedly invisible plane F -117 night hawk in the area of Srem village of Buđanovci. The interested visitor were able to visit Mr Dani’s memorial room and inspect parts of the crashed plane.

Nusantara members also went on a tour of the monastery Bavanište, 6 km from Kovin. Bavanište is renowned for the healing properties of its spring water in the churchyard and the miraculous healings during its history.

This October trip ended with a tour of Deliblato Sands, when Nusantara’s members had a 5km two-hour walking tour. Meanwhile, some older members of the society were happy to rest in the guest house „Čardak“, where Marius Olđa had previously given a lecture on the origin of the largest accumulations of sand in Europe.
