A Serbian climber and businessman from the central town of Kragujevac has reached the South Pole, it has been reported. Dragan Jovovic, who traveled to the planet's southern-most point as part of a team also comprising three Russians, said in a statement posted on his website that the expedition achieved its goal "on Sunday evening at 21:30 Serbian time (CET)": First Serb reaches South Pole "After a difficult journey, exposed to extreme conditions, temperatures that fell below minus 60 degrees centigrade in the polar circle, storms, strong winds and fog, the members of the expedition courageously and successfully reached their destination." Jovovic set off on his journey on January 1. "Everything went as planned. We will stay here for an extended period. The signal is pretty poor, I hope it will improve, so that I can at least post a more detailed report tomorrow," he wrote on his juznipol2012.com website. In a news conference before departing for Antarctica, the 53-year-old director of Takovo Osiguranje insurance company and owner of an exclusive hotel on Mt. Kopaonik said that he hoped to become the first Serb to reach the South Pole and hoist the flags of Serbia, and that of the town of Kragujevac. Tanjug

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
