LANGUAGE

English is the official conference language, both for presentations and manuscripts. LOCATION

The host of the jubilee, 10th Mediterranean Conference on Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Energy Conversion will be Belgrade, beautiful capital city of Serbia and a third largest city in South-eastern Europe. The city lies upon the confluence of the Sava and Danube, the aquatic routes connecting the countries of Western and Middle Europe to the countries of the South-eastern and Eastern Europe. Due to its position it was rightfully named “Gates of the Balkans” and the “Doors of Middle Europe”, and faced with turbulent historical events and the tragic destructions. Just over 1,700,000 people live in it and as more than 40% of its population is between ages of 15 and 44 it is known as the city of youth. Beside some of the most popular sites such are the majestic Kalemegdan fortress, bohemian Skadarlia district and charming Zemun, Belgrade boasts 42 museums, 67 art galleries and 26 theaters and a vibrant café culture and lively nightlife in over 150 floating restaurants along the banks of the Sava and Danube. According to the weather statistics, the average temperature in November ranges from 4 oC to 11 oC. VENUE / The Conference venue is Metropol Palace Hotel Belgrade.

An indelible landmark overlooking Tasmajdan Park in the city center, the Metropol Palace, Belgrade blends a unique legacy with timeless style. Historic sites, world-class museums, upscale shopping venues, and exciting nightlife are minutes away.

GETTING AROUND Public transportation Belgrade does not have an underground railway system, but still its public transport network cover almost all areas. City transport comprises buses, trams and trolleybuses. There are several types of tickets (image given below):

ticket bought from the driver, at cost of 150 RSD prepaid paper ticket that is bought at kiosks; it costs 40 RSD and is empty when bought, so you have to put some money on it tourist paper ticket is bought at kiosks too; it costs 280 RSD for one day, 720 RSD for three and 1100 RSD for five days prepaid plastic ticket that looks like a credit card; it costs 250 RSD and is also empty when bought; can be recharged to any amount

All tickets (except those bought from the driver) must be validated on machines inside the vehicle (image to the left). Every time you validate your ticket, the amount of 89 RSD will be subtracted from the total amount on your card. Public transport runs from 04:00 to 00:00. During night time, buses run at 1-hour intervals. Night buses depart from special stops at the Republic Square towards other parts of the city. The night fare is 150 RSD, available on board (you can't use your daily ticket for the night rides, tickets must be bought on board). You are advised to avoid trams if you are in a hurry. Transport authorities routinely check tickets for validation especially at peak hours on major lines and an infraction can leave you without €30.

Taxi Services There are numerous taxi terminals throughout the city or you can flag one down on the street. Most hotels are happy to book a taxi for you with a reputable company and advise on the likely cost of the fare; prices are reasonable whenever you travel, but rise a little after midnight and on Sundays. Official taxis have a blue sign on the roof in contrast to privately owned cabs having a white marker on the top. Also, official taxis have their license plates ending with TX (for example: BG-1234-TX). Taxi fares:
