At a time when the world is rapidly changing some themes actively prevail and are durable. Such is the subject of the faraway America, as an idea and as a toponym, but also the question about the inevitable Americanization at a local level. About a century and a half ago Carl May wrote “In the depths of the Balkans”, where, quite stereotypically, he described the Balkans as a wild territory where violence and delinquency ruled. That type of stereotype, but with a toponym inversion and with an introduction of personal and collective experience, was the inspiration behind the exhibition opened at Balkan cinema called “In the depths of America”. The works of three authors will be presented at this exhibition: ...

When renovating Balkan Cinema we wished for the new space to be able to change and adapt, representing in a way a sort of a culture center. We wanted it to be open for experimentation, exploration and unencumbered artistic freedom. This is why we were extremely happy to assign, as a working space, part of the cinema to the street artist and architect Nikola Mihajlovic. During the last year Nikola has created at Balkan Cinema in a kind of an improvised atelier located in the attic of this historical venue. Nikola Mihajlovic has been engaging in street art for over 10 years, later on combining it with artistic painting. He was the recipient of the first prize at the artistic ...

The situation we are all currently in is quite specific and challenging on many levels. However, life cannot and must not stop, which is why I am very happy with the fact that this November, and with the institutional support from the Serbian Gaming Authority and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Serbia, the first SEE Gaming Business Forum was held. This is the first regional event covering all business aspects and interest spheres of the gaming and betting industry – from regulations, business strategies, responsible implementation, all the way to application of technological solutions. It is important to emphasize that the forum focused especially on the Southeastern European market. MaxBet group was the platinum sponsor of this ...

There are things that we can influence, and others we cannot. It is important to be able to make a distinction between those two. The postponement of an exhibition we planned for carefully and for a long time, that was to take place on 10 July on Science day and the anniversary of the birth of Nikola Tesla, was one of those things we had no influence over. To put it simply, we accepted the fact that the time wasn’t right and that the safety of our fellow citizens was above else. Truthfully, I felt very bad because of the postponement, but I also promised my team that we would not give up on the exhibition and that we would ...

The world change is unstoppable. Old rules do not apply anymore, what once was is no longer and will never again be. Digital transformation is not a choice but a fact all around us, changing our habits and our day to day. I believe that this is only the beginning, that the world will even more visibly and intensively change and I know that I am not alone in this belief. In all of this, humanity has but two options. To lament over the old times, or to adapt to the new one – making an effort to get to know, understand and accept and live, in the best way possible, the new reality that is here to stay. We choose ...

Art cannot be put in a mold, cannot be guided by rules, or framed. That is why the fact that, at the end of August, we opened the doors of Balkan Cinema to the artists shaping the local street art scene, is so important to me. Their art initially begins on the streets, but these days it was to be seen on the walls of Balkan cinema. After the pause created by the situation we are all familiar with, the cinema was again pulsating with a specific energy – the energy of creation through the project “Balkan live”. For two days, street artists painted canvases, panels and the walls of Balkan cinema, and all interested citizens were welcomed to witness ...

September is an important month  – the month of new projects, new ideas and the new, fall season. This is why I am especially happy with the fact that the MaxBet online team has exceptionally sailed into September. From now on, our online players will have the privilege of enjoying the games of the leading gambling provider – BetGames.TV. Why is this important? Because BetGames.TV is one of the most regulated providers of services within the live gaming sector, with license issued by multiple jurisdictions, including UGC, MGA and Italy as well as various South African gambling authorities, with pending certificates from Sweden and Colombia. Their games are authentic and innovative and I have no doubt that MaxBet players will ...

A man’s freedom lies not only in his right to freely express his opinions and desires, but first and foremost in the right and possibilities for a man to decide with sovereignty on all matters concerning his life.    Josip Broz Tito At MaxBet Group the month of May has become known, almost traditionally, for the celebration of a very specific date – May 25th, once known as Youth Day. It is on that date that we get together at different Marshal Casinos around Serbia where we give a toast in honour of the Yugoslavia we loved. Sometimes people wonder how is it that I, who always looks ahead and into the future, can feel so nostalgic about something that once ...

It is not for nothing that we insist on and emphasize the word family. It is a well known fact that we consider all our employees to be part of a family we care about and invest into. But, the story does not end there. MaxBet Group is not only a system that functions as a family, but individual families are intertwined with the system. As per our statistics a 15% of all MaxBet employees have a family member also employed with the Group. Why is this important? Because I believe that the fact that our employees want to recommend their work atmosphere to their loved ones speaks volumes about the Group. It is my opinion that those moments further ...

We at MaxBet group have a special way we view our relationship with our employees and players. We see all of our workers and their families as members of our MaxBet family. Furthermore, we consider our players as extended MaxBet family. The task of keeping our extended MaxBet family safe and sound has become much harder. At the beginning of March, Serbia saw its first case of coronavirus. That was more than enough for us to start with first measures of prevention. Those measures included intensive disinfection procedures and frequent cleaning of MaxBet locations and educating employees about what to do to protect themselves. When Serbian government announced the beginning of state of emergency on March 15th, we knew it ...
