Descrizione
The “Donji Srem” Sugar Plant lies south of the village of Sibac (between Sibac and Pecinci), about 50 km west of Belgrade. The sugar plant is operational and the ponds can be quite smelly. There are three large ponds and several smaller. The large western pond is too deep for shorebirds, so focus on the shallower eastern one. An asphalt road passes by the eastern pond, the site of the breeding colony of Gabbiano comune, in some years with a pair or two of Gabbiano corallino among them. This spot is under-visited.
This site holds Totano moro and Cavaliere d'Italia, together with Pavoncella, Combattente, Piovanello pancianera, Beccaccino, Piro piro culbianco, Pantana, Piro piro boschereccio. Other birds to expect include Averla piccola, Cappellaccia, Cannaiola verdognola and Cannareccione. Mignattino comune are present on migration, while Mignattino piombato is present in the breeding season too.

On the map, I marked not just the site, but a bit confusing turn-off from the main road as the route. For driving directions, zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign.
