Darilo Botaničnega vrta "Jevremovac" iz Beograda
Ko je bil 31. oktobra 2023 v Botaničnem vrtu "Jevremovac" v Beogradu odprt "Hotel za divje opraševalce", je srbsko veleposlaništvo v Ljubljani takoj stopilo v stik s Fakulteto za biologijo iz Beograda in avtorji hotela za divje opraševalce kjer lahko le ti dobijo svoj novi dom.
V sodelovanju z Botaničnim vrtom Univerze v Ljubljani je bila predlagana postavitev enakega "Hotela za opraševalce" tudi v Ljubljani. Nato je bilo treba najti financerje za gradnjo "Hotela". Fundacija MK Grup (Fundacija Miodrag Kostić Group) je prijazno sprejela financiranje projekta in jeseni 2024 se je začela gradnja enakega "Hotela" za potrebe Botaničnega vrta Univerze v Ljubljani.
"Hotel za opraševalce" je začetek junija prispel v Botanični vrt Univerze Ljubljani. Postavili smo ga na simbolno mesto, nedaleč od upravne stavbe, v senci Pančićevih smrek.
Ker gre za zaščiten patent beograjskega botaničnega vrta, je treba povedati, da je »Hotel za opraševalke« do zadnjega milimetra enak tistemu, ki je bil postavljen v Beogradu.
Otvoritev »Hotela za opraševalce« je v petek, 19. septembra 2025, ob 12. uri v Botaničnem vrtu Univerze v Ljubljani na Ižanska cesti 15.
Vljudno vabljeni!
Speech
Respected Excellences, dear Ambassador of Serbia Ivo Vojvodić, Deputy Director assistant prof. dr. Tomica Mišljenović, representatives of institutions, dear guest.
It is a great honor for me to say welcome for a such a high-ranking assembly, here in the University Botanic Gardens Ljubljana, which this year celebrates its 215th anniversary. Last year, together with my colleagues from Javremovec, we celebrated their 150th anniversary of Javremovac. The gardens have been cooperating since the very beginning and today they are very similar in appearance. Both have a pollinator garden from the Washington DC garden and from today, these pollinators will also get their replacement home here with that donation of Javremovac, Serbs embassy and sponsored with the Foundation of Miodrag Kostić Group.
Good and Fruitful cooperation in plant exchange, cooperation in physical form with visits and debates, all of the same aim, how to protect the nature and plants as and how to present them to the public as comprehensively as possible. However, it is not enough to protect only plants, their pollinators are also important here, and here we find ourselves together. That's why we are truly grateful for the gift of the Javremovac of Javremovac, Serbs embassy who helped us get to today's event, sponsored by the Foundation of Miodrag Kostić Group.
Let's enjoy the late summer among plants and their pollinators
