JadranSport was an online social and sport magazine project which reached its peaks in two different eras, both prior to World Cups in football. The first was at the time of the 2002 WC in South Korea and Japan while the second happened during the 2006 WC in Germany. The site had a multi-national outlook and believed that inter-cultural communication and ethnic reconciliation throughout all aspects of society (including sports) should be a future goal for Balkan countries. The main idea of JS and its founder, Alexander Damir Yovanovich (''Serbian (Latin)'': Aleksandar Damir Jovanović - ''Serbian (Cyrillic)'': Александар Дамир Јовановић), was to promote and write about sports, mainly football, regarding countries made out the fall of Yugoslavia and their athletes. Yovanovich believed that the way to reconciliation of Ex-Yugoslav Nations is through sports and friendship based on mutual respect of each other's differences but also similarities. JadranSport was imagined as one of the engines in this process. Another main character in JS glossary and who also deserves to be credited with JadranSport's greatest moments is Dejan Nikolic (''Serbian (Latin)'': Dejan Nikolić - ''Serbian (Cyrillic)'': Дејан Николић)who together with Yovanovich brought JS on a professional level and ensured funding for this project to become the main source of sport news for Former Yugoslav diaspora by 2002. == Humble Beginnings == Yovanovich started JadranSport as an online project in 1998 as a sole contributor and was writing the news he collected through various sources. At the time, the website was based on a free server Homestead and was more of a blog than an actual professional online sport magazine. Despite this, Yovanovich implemented novelties that made the website interesting mainly to Former Yugoslav diaspora. He was most likely the first person in Former Yugoslavia to broadcast games through Live Text coverage online and he was a firm supporter of giving opinionated news rather than agency-like content. Shortly after, he met up with Nikolic who wished to collaborate, and as one thing led to another, they decided that JadranSport will go Professional. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JadranSport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
