What does CIK stand for? 

Čik

The Čik or Čiker is a river in northern Serbia. A 95 km-long right tributary to the Tisa river, it flows entirely within the Bačka region of Vojvodina province. The Čik springs out in the northwestern part of the Subotička Peščara, between the village of Tavankut and the city of Subotica, near the Hungarian border, at an altitude of 128 m. It starts as an unimportant slow stream of water near the Tavankut's hamlets of Čikerija and Kobino Selo. From its source to the mouth, the river flows in the southeast direction, next to the hamlets of Verušić and Naumovićevo. As the river grows, next to the villages of Višnjevac, Čantavir and Dušanovo, a dams are constructed to regulate the flow, in both upper and lower course. In the lower course there are thick growths of reed on the banks of the river, which is at this point 2–4 m deep. After the villages of Tornjoš, Svetićevo and Obornjača, the river emtpies into the Tisa at the village of Bačko Petrovo Selo, at an altitude of 74 m. The Čik has been neglected by environmental institutions for some time, but in the 1990s the lower part of the course was cleaned and the once almost-dead river was re-populated with many species of fish, becoming a major fishing resort.
