Members of the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Holding</strong> have ambition plans in 2009<br />
<strong>Maturity</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>challenges</strong><br />
”The Plan, which <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Holding</strong> adopted <strong>for</strong> the<br />
year 2009, represents the challenge not only <strong>for</strong><br />
Serbia and the region, it is the challenge of a larger<br />
scale. At the annual meeting we adopted the plan<br />
of the overturn, which would represent more<br />
than 10% of the annual GDP of Serbia, and which is<br />
equal to the domestic product of a few countries<br />
within the region. This represents the biggest<br />
progress and the proof that Serbian companies<br />
could be organized at the European level. Even<br />
in the Europe there are only few companies that<br />
achieved plans and made results, which we represented<br />
today”, said, at the annual board meeting<br />
of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Holding</strong>, the president of the company,<br />
Miroslav Miskovic.<br />
The president of the <strong>Delta</strong> Company assessed that<br />
the year 2008 was one of the most difficult year<br />
ever since company had been founded, but successful<br />
again. “We should talk less about those<br />
results, what is waiting <strong>for</strong> us in the year 2009 is<br />
what we should talk about. The previous period<br />
should serve as the enlightenment, to use experiences<br />
and internal reserves. I believe that we will<br />
enthusiastically, and with ef<strong>for</strong>ts put in, will approach<br />
realization of this huge task. “For the year<br />
2009 business system of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Holding</strong> planned<br />
turn over of 3, 4 billion Euros.<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> M Group, as the biggest member of the<br />
<strong>Holding</strong>, in 2008, achieved 50% higher sales incomes<br />
<strong>for</strong> the first time, market incomes appear<br />
as a significant segment. The biggest growth had<br />
been achieved in retail. Some 440 million euros<br />
had been invested, where 304 million in Serbia,<br />
and 136 million in the countries within the region.<br />
In the year 2009 <strong>Delta</strong> M Group will not give up<br />
from considerable investments. There is a plan to<br />
invest 370 million euros, out of which 230 in the<br />
country, and the rest abroad. Market growth of<br />
39% had been announced, which means annual total<br />
income of 2, 8 billion euros. Growth from <strong>for</strong>eign<br />
markets will continue during 2009 and will<br />
reach more than 20% of total income of <strong>Delta</strong> M<br />
Group.<br />

<strong>Delta</strong> Real Estate with its projects already took<br />

crisis hits real-estate branch the most, director<br />
general, Dejan Racic announces continues activities<br />
with all commenced projects. <strong>Delta</strong> Real Estate<br />
will continue in developing its image and the<br />
brand, and the best arguments in favor to these<br />
facts are projects such as Belville. Due to the nature<br />
of the activities the plans of <strong>Delta</strong> Real Estate<br />
are connected to the five years period, and those<br />
plans are really ambition: five regional malls of <strong>Delta</strong><br />
Planet, nine shopping-malls of <strong>Delta</strong> City, 18 retail<br />

at the world market. The network of Celsius pharmacies<br />
will enlarge with new shops in Montenegro<br />
and Republika Srpska”, said the director of iJugohemija<br />
Smiljka Mileusnić-Adžić.<br />
In the past year <strong>Delta</strong> Generali Insurance became<br />
bigger <strong>for</strong> two companies, founded in Montenegro,<br />
and in spite of the crisis the number of<br />

<strong>Delta</strong> Real Estate<br />
Project designer Amy Moore<br />
Exclusive shopping<br />
mall at Autokomanda<br />
“With <strong>Delta</strong> we have one of the most professional relationship of all clients, which is not to something to be surprised of if we<br />
have in mind the reputation which your company has, and the similarity of the mentality and closeness of two nations”, said in<br />
the interview <strong>for</strong> the paper “<strong>Delta</strong> Danas” during his recent visit to Belgrade Amy Moore, project designer pf the shopping malls<br />
of <strong>Delta</strong> City in Belgrade and in Podgorica and the future Deltia’s shopping mall at Autokomanda, which construction launch is<br />
planned till the end of the year.<br />
Amyi Moore stresses that <strong>Delta</strong>’s vision in relation with development and<br />
expanding at the market of the South East Europe is what determined him<br />
to start cooperation with the biggest Serbian company: “<strong>Delta</strong> has excellent<br />
engineers, which develop every concept from the start till the end. I<br />
like that we always know whom and what to ask in <strong>Delta</strong>. Projects are filtrated<br />
jointly in accordance with local customs and the taste so as with<br />
understanding of the request<br />
of the surrounding”.<br />
Moore made projects,<br />
together with his assistants,<br />
of around 100 million<br />
square meters at various<br />
locations all over the<br />
world, but good relation<br />
with <strong>Delta</strong> is most probably<br />
the reason why the<br />
project at Autokomanda<br />
he did it himself.<br />
Vision of the project and the designee of Autokomanda are unlike <strong>Delta</strong><br />
City in New Belgrade. Since residential area is near by such as - Dedinje,<br />
Voždovac, Vračar, and central part of the city, the future object at Autokomanda<br />
will have certain level of exclusivity in regard of project solutions<br />
and interior with 45.000m² of business area, shops <strong>for</strong> rent respectively.<br />
According to his words, this will be unique “Mall of Serbia” on three levels.<br />
At the underground floor there will be a supermarket, and on the top floor<br />
4<br />
there will be entertainment facilities – restaurants, fitness rooms, game<br />
house <strong>for</strong> children. Of course, majority of the facilities will be boutiques<br />
and shops of the world leading brands. Beside parking space at the lower<br />
level, every floor will have parking space <strong>for</strong> 250 parking lots.<br />
Specific aspects of this shopping mall will represent cupola as well, which<br />
surface will be 1.500m² that will provide object with natural light, which is<br />
actually recognizable mark of every object signed by Amy Moore. Introduction<br />
of energy efficiency system, shopping mall at Autokomanda will<br />
be classified as a “green building”.<br />
Beside Autokomanda, Moore currently works with <strong>Delta</strong> Real Estate on<br />
the projects of the shopping mall Stozice in Ljubljana, and residential-business<br />
object in the street 29 November in Belgrade. Shopping mall in Stozice<br />
will have around 65.000m², with lots of natural light and variety of facilities,<br />
there will be amusement park and number of restaurants. Moore<br />
emphasizes that the location is perfect as it is located at the “ring circle”<br />
and that joint idea to offer Ljubljana and Slovenia new, unique concept.<br />

Former practitioners<br />
are our colloquies in <strong>Delta</strong> M Group today<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> practice<br />
as a springboard<br />
First steps at the practice in <strong>Delta</strong> M Group, and than<br />
job in the company. This is the path which many of<br />
young under graduates and graduates from Belgrade<br />
faculties take.<br />
Last year, in May and July, Department <strong>for</strong> Human<br />
Resources of <strong>Delta</strong> M Group one more time realized<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> practice and <strong>for</strong>mer practitioners are young<br />
colloquies with six months experience in the company<br />
today.<br />
“The tasks that I have conducted during the program<br />
of <strong>Delta</strong> practice were less complexes and I have conducted<br />
it with experts’ help and mentors’ monitoring.<br />
Present task require greater knowledge of the<br />
assortment and brand characteristics, company’s organization<br />
knowledge and way of business conducting”,<br />
said Ana Božović, assistant manager in <strong>Delta</strong> Motors.<br />
Mirjana Mirković, clerk at the financial department in <strong>Delta</strong> Agrar, confirms<br />
that during practice she got assignments that introduced her with<br />
the job with finance only. “Through practice I learned, and as the employee<br />
I am getting assignments that are more responsible, terms that must<br />
be met, and at the same time to keep precision and requested <strong>for</strong>m”.<br />
“That was good practice <strong>for</strong> the job that I have today, first of all thanks to<br />
good mentors which shared their knowledge with their practitioners”, assessed<br />
Filip Korjenić, clerk at the department <strong>for</strong> export and import in <strong>Delta</strong><br />
Maxi. “I think that every employee needs to know not only what is in relation<br />
with his job, he needs to know other departments with which one<br />
cooperate”, adds Nemanja Ivković, assistant in the logistic in <strong>Delta</strong> Maxi.<br />
Jelena Vukoman also, through practice in <strong>Delta</strong>, became clerk in the financial<br />
department in <strong>Delta</strong> Fashion: “Our Company is characterized with a<br />
team work and positive atmosphere that significantly influence on productivity<br />
as well. Due to help of our coleus I think that I have managed very<br />
quickly to adjust to new business ambient”.<br />
Ana Kolarević, quality system clerk in <strong>Delta</strong> Maxi, said: “The atmosphere<br />
outdid my expectations. Here we have a team of young people and I am<br />
very happy with cooperation with colloquies”.<br />
Scholars visited us<br />
Human resources department<br />
was the host, mid<br />
January, in the business<br />
building of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Holding</strong>,<br />
to the group of 10 students<br />
that have <strong>Delta</strong> M Group<br />
scholarship. Students<br />
had opportunity to see,<br />
through presentation, activities<br />
and showed great<br />
interest <strong>for</strong> all segments of the system. Scholarships are part of the humanitarian<br />
activities that are conducted from the part of the club “Businessmen”<br />
continuously from the year 2006.<br />
Vladimir Stanković, brand manager, <strong>Delta</strong> Sport<br />
Link between<br />
marketing and sport<br />
After period of three years that he spent in <strong>Delta</strong> Sport, Vladimir<br />
Stanković, brand manager <strong>for</strong> Nike, got a new position in the Nike office<br />
<strong>for</strong> Europe, Near East and Africa, which is near by Amsterdam, Netherlands.<br />
HR<br />
„I love to say that I will lice in Amsterdam, and will work all over Europe“,<br />
said Stanković in his interview <strong>for</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> Today.<br />
Did, and in what extent, the situation at the market changed during the<br />
period of time that you had spend in <strong>Delta</strong> Sport?<br />
I came to <strong>Delta</strong> Sport from the very beginning, when the management<br />
of the company had been changed. Thanks to new strategy, in the mean<br />
time we became leaders within the<br />
sport branch in retail, and strong market<br />
player within the whole Balkan. We<br />
accepted new tendencies and adjusted<br />
our business to the world companies<br />
with which we had cooperation. When<br />
in 2005 the new monograph had been<br />
made about 110 years of football in Serbia,<br />
there were no single photos with<br />
Nike symbol. Please open news papers<br />
today and you will see how many teams<br />
are wearing Nike equipment.<br />
Conditionally speaking, what was the most difficult, and what was the<br />
most beautiful thing during that period of three years?<br />
The most difficult was to link business principles that Nike implements<br />
in Europe and in the world with the conditions of conducting business<br />
in Serbia. I think that the biggest step had been made within that area.<br />
Brighter side of the business is that I learned from the best and had<br />
opportunity to work in the biggest company in the South East Europe,<br />
with the team that is always one step ahead from the competitors. At the<br />
same time I had many friends in the sport and out side the sport sphere.<br />
There was lots of traveling as well?<br />
Nike is hedonist brand, which links business and pleasure. The business<br />
philosophy is arranged in a manner to make their employees free of bondages<br />
and <strong>for</strong>malities. If I have to list all my destinations, I could not list<br />
them all. Let’s say Kazakhstan, where I was with football national team.<br />
As a tourist I would never think to go there, and I spend few very nice<br />
days there. Those are the things that one remembers <strong>for</strong> the whole life.<br />
Is there a difference in relation with jobs that you will conduct in Amsterdam<br />
comparing with jobs you had here? What are the <strong>challenges</strong>?<br />
At some extent, yes there is. My job will be training of the brand manager<br />
at the area of South East Europe, Baltic, Africa and Near East, which cover<br />
over one billion people in 69 countries and is counted as a weaker market.<br />
There is a challenge <strong>for</strong> me, since Serbian market was in the same position<br />
three years ago, and at present it is mid developed markets of Western<br />
Europe countries.<br />
Is the next step world headquartering of Nike in Portland, Oregon?<br />
(Laughter)... Long time ago, I though my self not to be a slave to prejudices.<br />
So, why not?<br />
