What happened to this foreigner after 10 years in Serbia
This is Miguel. He is from Spain, but he has been living in Serbia for 10 years. He works as a visual effects compositing artist, participating in productions for films by directors such as Emir Kusturica and Guy Ritchie. He also does stand-up comedy as a hobby. He shared with me which food is better: Spanish or Serbian, how it feels to be a Spanish son-in-law in Serbia, and why he feels much safer in Serbia than in Spain. Enjoy!

Why he left London for Belgrade Serbia

    Thanks for sharing your impressions! I was surprised hearing you express concern about the "far right". These are the people who may be able to turn things around. The state is clearly not your friend! We are witnessing it all over Europe, time and time again. But anyway, Serbia seems like a really good place! 🙂

    Alex, how about another interview with a Russian, but with a more profound political reasoning? specifically, what would be your take on modern Russian identity? as we all know, 90% of ethnic Russians live west of Urals, that is, inside the European continent. but, Dugin and the likes have put much effort into positing a Eurasian identity. obviously, Shoigu is a Tuvan, Lavrov is half-Armenian, etc, so this could be viewed as a follow-up to the Soviet era, but it requires a fresh outlook. in terms of Serbo-Russian ties... back in the early 90s, the majority of Serbs voted Milosevic, who promised to retain a socialist economy. he even supported the coup against Gorbachov (august '91) and later on sponsored Zyuganov and the CPRF. this political adventurism ended in a tragedy, and delayed us for a decade, which is evident to both Russians and Ukranians who arrived here lately. i'd like to see your take on some of these issues...

    When she said she is a journalist I knew she gets everything upside down. I bet she knows even less about Serbian politics. Why Crimea joined Russia? Who actualy ruined Mariupol? Was it that Ukrainian army made hell of a living for 8 years for its own citizens who felt more Russian or did Russia do it? Who banned language, history and religion of other side? Dismantling her beliefs is little effort for me or anyone decently objective. Serbian people love Russians who stayed in Russia. Those who came will sell us out tomorrow if similar troubles come again at our border one day. Its the type of people. Want everything handed to them. I am not trying to be disrespectful but I am tired of seeing that propaganda poison people, one that pushed my country into gutters and the Europe along with it. Take this as an advice. Research a bit outside the big name newspapers and mainstream media whos job is to channel military industrial corporate agenda.

The price of a pack of cigarettes in the UK is equal to a pack of cigarettes and a night out here in Serbia. Love Serbia and don't want to go back to London or the UK.

      @MarkHebblewhite วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@odvedokikrema That's an interesting question. There are definitely cultural differences. In the UK, especially London, the work culture is intense and demanding. Here, it's more relaxed, which allows for stronger family and friend connections. London’s high cost of living often keeps people away from their loved ones, while work dominates social life. I feel a strong sense of place here, having visited for so many years. The ability to drive to another country in just a few hours is fantastic. I do miss the fresh fish from the UK, as it's mostly frozen here. However, the friendliness and community spirit in Serbia more than makes up for it. In London, most people don't even know their neighbors, but here, people are warm and welcoming. And yes, I married a Serbian lady, both our kids speak Serbian fluently and one also lived over here for a year. Ideally they both would move over - but that's just a selfish dad speaking, who wants his kids around him.
