Smak (Serbian Cyrillic: Смак; trans. Endtime) is a Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band from Kragujevac. The group reached the peak of popularity in the 1970s when it was one of the most notable acts of the former Yugoslav rock scene. The band's leader, guitarist Radomir Mihajlović, nicknamed "Točak" ("The Wheel"), is considered one of the most influential guitarists on the former Yugoslav rock scene.
Formed in 1971 by the guitarist Radomir Mihajlović "Točak" and drummer Slobodan Stojanović "Kepa", the band did not get a default lineup until 1975 by which time bassist Zoran Milanović, vocalist Boris Aranđelović and keyboard player Laza Ristovski consisted the official band membership. However, after recording their eponymous debut album, Ristovski left the band and the remaining quartet recorded their subsequent albums with various keyboard players before disbanding in 1981.
After brief reunions in the period between 1986 and 1992, the band was reformed by the two founding members with younger musicians, vocalist Dejan Najdanović "Najda", the second drummer Dejan Stojanović "Kepa Jr.", second guitarist Milan Milosavljević "Mikica" and bassist Vlada Samardžić. During the late 1990, the latter was replaced by the bassist Slobodan Marković "Sale" who performed with the band until 2002 when Smak disbanded once again. The remaining members from the last lineup, with the new bassist Miloš Petrović reunited in 2010, and in 2012 the default lineup of the band made a one-off reunion.
Smak is the eponymous debut studio album by the Serbian progressive rock group Smak, released in 1975 by ZKP RTLJ.
All music composed by Radomir Mihajlović "Točak".

Alo! is a daily tabloid newspaper published in Belgrade, Serbia.
Launched by Ringier AG (owners of another Serbian daily Blic) on October 15, 2007, Alo! attempts to establish itself on the saturated Serbian daily tabloid market through aggressive campaign that announces it as 'Najveće dnevne novine u Srbiji' ("The biggest daily in Serbia") - referring to its format size. Its editor-in-chief is Ana Ćubela and it's published on 16 pages every day. On October 12, 2009, the daily has changed the format and design, which the newspaper's slogan "Najveće dnevne novine u Srbiji" has dropped, introducing the new billboard campaign "Cela slika na manjem formatu" ("A whole picture on less format").
It also tries to gain market share by initially setting its price at RSD9, which is lower than other established Serbian tabloids such as Blic, Press, and Kurir that are mostly sold at RSD10 and RSD15. Alo!s first two issues were distributed for free.
Alo! appeared on the Serbian market around the time many other similar tabloid dailies such as Pravda, Sutra, and Gazeta hit the stands as well, raising questions of their financial viability and political allegiance.
