    One Dutch girl explained difference between Westerners and Serbians saying "Westerners are like peach soft from the outside but further you go down you will hit hard, impenetrable core, on the other side Serbians are like Watermelon, bit hard from the outside but further you go down it get sweeter and sweeter". Sounds spot on.

Also if you are walking through a village and you see anyone in their yard, if they notice you, you should say dobar dan to them, they will dobar dan you back. Who knows maybe you will end up talking to them, or even get invited for a rakija, cup of coffee and some homemade cookies or cake.

    Haters will be haters.
    There are enough countries and people in the world that hate Serbia..
    I'm not saying that Serbia is perfect even there crime and corruption exist..
    Just like any country in the world.
    But what I am trying to say is that.
    Serbia is often hated by too many countries and too many people in the world for all the wrong reasons .
    Serbia has much more to offer in terms of
    natural parks,
    culture
    and history
    and Above all good food,
    what many people dont realize
    who have never been there.
    Although I was not born in Serbia itself.
    But fortunately because of the fact that both my parents are Serbs.
    And I was brought up Serbian at home.
    I consider myself much more Serb.
    Instead of origin of the country in which I was born.

    Come to Republika Srpska as well. Republika Srpska is an entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 49% of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to the Serbs who live there. There are also beautiful places and the people are equally kind. You have a lot to see. The same people live here and in Serbia. Slavic peoples were converted under the conquerors to their religions such as Islam (Ottoman Empire) and Catholicism (Germany World War II, Austria-Hungary World War I). Serbs live there who have not sold their religion for dinner. That's how they say it here, unlike our neighbors. Although they suffered many crimes, they remained Orthodox Christians. This is why it is said that Serbs are the people of Jesus. Of course, don't think that we have anything bad against other religions, but you can feel discomfort with today's Bosniaks and Croats, so don't get confused. Everyone of any religion is welcome with us. Serbs are a very nice people, but quite destroyed because every generation has been at war here. God grant that there will be no more wars, but if there are, this people will defend their religion again. We simply do not want other people's land, but we do not give our own. All the best, many greetings to you ❤️

    In my experience the people who warn against visiting a place have never been there. Making the effort to visit a place that is not a standard tourist destination will be reciprocated by the locals. I was visiting Serbia a lot in the 90s when hostility towards a westerner would have been understandable, but I experienced none at all. Belgrade is a very safe city. A tip, when raising your glass with a local, look them in the eye when you say "Ziveli!" That makes a great impression.

    I am Serbian, I was surprised u said we are "cold", it's more of "not interested to bother entertaining another crazy person". I am glad u liked the food and nature here 🥰
    U should go to lots of different kafana (idi u kafane) and check "pečenje" - praseće, jagnjeće, ovčije, repovi itd (depends on what u like).
    Also u should try pies like gibanica and burek. If u have the opportunity I would recommend visiting different parts of Serbia to see really gorgeous lakes, caves, forests, mountains, cats etc. 😂

      Its not strange at all if you have looked into americas homelessness problem. Serbian people live mostly by orthodox christian family values. There are so few homeless people that in smaller cities theyre all well know and for the most part wont harm anyone they just want their alchohol or whatever. Family will almost always have your back here, in america i have heard stories that go something like as soon as i was 18 my parents kicked me out. Over here thats unthinkable, it would never happen. Unless you have personal problems with a person there arent too many people with a reason to be violent towards you. Ghettos arent really a thing either, sure gypsy ghettos exist but theyre on the outskirts and theres pretty much no reason to visit them. But even if you did chances are you would be fine.

    Sooo I discovered you guys about a week ago, and I basically binge watched the whole Serbia series and I’ve done it with a big grin on my face! It’s so cool to see you enjoy the little things around here. We’re quite a poor country, there really isn’t a whole lot to see, but you don’t seem to care about the rich and fancy. Watching you try riblja čorba, pečenje (the pork you ate) and rakija from completely drunk ass shirtless Serbs partying in the woods, and then clearly enjoying the absolute madness of that Drina river party - the most authentic Serbian experiences that I believe you could have had - and watching you genuinely like it, is, first of all, extremely entertaining and hilarious, but secondly, makes me so happy for some reason! 🥹
    I’m glad your experience was so positive, it’s actually surprising considering how many drunk people you encountered, since drunk Serbs are… well, something else!
    I am still new to the channel so I have no idea how long you’re going to stay here, but when it comes to food you should try ”teletina (or jagnjetina if you prefer lamb) ispod sača” for lunch, it’s my absolute favorite meal and is authentic for Serbia. As far as alcoholic drinks go, you absolutely should try the ”Rubin vinjak”, it’s a very important national drink here, and since you somehow liked rakija I belive you’d like this even better! Rakija is a little… heavy. 😂 Vinjak is tasty! It will be served in any type of restaurant, but you can also buy it at all supermarkets as well as most corner shops. You’ll definitely be able to try it at the wedding you’re going to as well. You might be served pečenje properly at the wedding as the main meal.
    Anyway! Obviously there’s always more that you can try, but teletina ispod sača and vinjak, it would be a shame to miss it!
    Good luck guys, these videos are amazing, such fun and wholesome content! Keep it up!

      @@nemanjamilunovic2393 Nemanja, we're a poor nation. 🙂
      Being poor is an objective measure, it has nothing to do with my feelings towards my country. I love my people, I respect my people, my city. But we're poor. And there isn't a lot to see.
      If you go to more developed countries that weren't destroyed multiple times in a row by bombings, wars and occupations, you'll see what it means to have "a lot" to see. We have a couple national parks that are actively being destroyed, sold and neglected by the government.
      We have several short pretty streets in our capital city, a museum and half, one temple and churches. There is no investment into arts and culture, it is rigged in a way that it is extremely difficult to make a film, a TV series, even a documentary. Artists are truly "starving" here, actors and screenwriters have absolutely no future in this country.
      Our average salary is embarassingly low, and most people are "employed" illegally because the employer is being screwed over by the government. Our businesses are massively failing.
      Our land is being sold, our water, our nature, it's all being sold and privatized. Most big businesses sold. The farmer can't earn back the money they invest into having a farm by selling the goods. It is becoming impossible to grow and sell food.
      Who are we kidding here..? We are poor.
      That is exactly why I appriciate it when people come here to actually enjoy the little things we have to offer.

And Drina is also one of the most beautiful jewels. As well as all other destinations in your video. I like your setup, especially can of Jelen beer. Also, cevapi, raznjici and vegetables. Sljivovica is one of the most important beverages in Serbia. :-) To me it is. God bless both of you and thank you for this beautiful presentation of my country. Greetings from Beograd.
