23rd "Zoran Radosavljević" Memorial Regatta held
Traditionally, the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces have helped organize the 23rd Memorial Regatta dedicated to Zoran Radosavljević. This year’s Regatta was held on the Sava Lake and the Sava River in Belgrade. "Zoki's Regatta" is held in honour of the passionate sailor, Major Pilot Zoran Radosavljević, a member of the Yugoslav Army’s elite 127th Fighter Squadron, who died heroically on March 26, 1999, defending his homeland during the NATO aggression.
This year’s sailing event has gathered a large number of competitors, members of the Serbian Sailing Association, and numerous friends who keep alive the memory of the hero of our country’s defence.
The Optimist class, consisting of the youngest sailors under the age of 14, competed on the Sava Lake and more experienced sailors in the ILCA4, ILCA6, Micro and Cruiser classes competed on the Sava River, between Ada Međica and the new railway bridge.
The winner of this year's "Zoki's Regatta" in the Optimist class is Veljko Simonović, member of the Palilula Nautical Club. Marko Berkeš, member of the Vladar Sailing took first place in the Cruiser class, while Milan Đorđević and Nenad Sićević, members of the Sava Sailing Club took first place in the Microtonner class. The winner in the ILCA4 class was Aleksandra Vujošević, member of the Belgrade Academic Sailing Club, and Dušan Trbojević from the Zemun Sailing Club took first place in the ILCA6 class.
The first "Zoki's Regatta" was held on the Montenegrin coast, in Herceg Novi in 1999, at the initiative of Major Zoran Radosavljević’s friends, who share his passion for sailing. Since 2007, the Regatta has been held in Belgrade.
