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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
