Croatia and Serbia
Two bordering Southeastern European countries in the Balkans, a geographic area that gets its name from the Balkan Mountains. Separated by the Danube River, the second-longest river in Europe, there actually remains a border dispute there between the two countries. And awkwardly sitting in between them is Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Both used to be part of a country called Yugoslavia, and both went to war with each other after that country fell apart in the early 1990s. More on that in a bit. But overall, these two beautiful countries have a lot in common.
Let’s first get this out of the way. Serbia has the province of Kosovo. Or does it? Kosovo actually declared independence from Serbia back in 2008, but Serbia doesn’t recognize it as a sovereign state. At the time of the making of this video, half of the United Nations member states recognize Kosovo as an independent country.
Both have a continental climate and mediterrean climate. Both have mountains that greatly influence those climates.
Croatia is split by the Dinaric Alps, and west of those mountains they got that nice and mild mediterrean climate and east of it can get a bit more hot and cold. Also in eastern Croatia all of a sudden you’re in the Great Hungarian Plain, or probably more accurately called the Pannonian Basin, with flatter land and fertile soil that’s great for farming. Serbia has some of that sweet Pannonian Basin farmland in the north, too, but also has lots of hills and is surrounded by multiple mountain ranges, including the aforementioned Dinaric Alps, the Serbian Carpathians, and Balkan Mountains.
Both regularly get earthquakes.
Both have capitals that are also the largest cities in each country. However, Belgrade is bigger than Zagreb.
Both are parliamentary republics. Both used to have monarchies up to the 20th century. Hey, this reminds me. This video is a collaboration with Useful Charts, which just released a video about the family tree of Serbian royalty, as well as some Croatian kings. Be sure to check it out when you’re done watching this one.
But anyway, yeah, today people vote for their governments in both countries. None of this being born into it crap.
Both have about the same percentage of urban residents. (C- 57%, S- 56%)
Both have relatively low crime compared to the rest of the world.
Football, aka soccer, is the most popular sport in both.
Rakia, this fruit brandy with a really high alcohol content, is a popular drink in both.
The median age in both is higher than most countries, but is younger in Serbia. (C-43.1, S-40.5)
#Serbia #Croatia #geography

Which two countries should I compare next?

I am a Croat from Bosnia living in Sweden and I don’t hate any ex-yug country. We are all much closer culturally and of similar mindsets then people like to admit. It’s best for us to have each his own country but let’s strive to increase trust with time and with actions that build that trust. Look at Germany and France once bigger enemies are now partners in crime.
Ye I think it is true that we are similar. I would go even further and state that we are the same and that unity would lead to much more success than seperation. I respect your decision of being happy with your independent country bosnia and hercegovina but I myself would prefer a united yugoslavia since my family identifies itself as yugoslav and unitarian. I'm kind of annoyed that yugoslavs aren't being seen as an ethnic group in either country tho.

Both Serbia and Croatia have long time new problems which we both share, like political corruption for example. This (and many others) might be the reason there is less and less animosity between us.

Honestly, coming from serbia, and knowing how pointless the wars were and how badly it affected both of our economies, i feel really sad about our relationship, the fact that so many people are leaving because of financial instability, the fact that we are gonna sell our land to god knows who because nobody is gonna live there and somebody has got to work, i would love to have croats in serbia rather than someone from the other side of the world who is just willing to work here, we could have been proud to be from the balkans, but instead we are proud to leave, it's sad.
I'm from France and even though we are a rich country, people still complain about salaries and think the country is going nowhere. It's pretty popular to say that we want to leave the country.
I think it has just become popular to want to leave your country for a better economical prospect.

I love both countries. Rich culture, beatiful scenery and food and nice people.
Great video, all nicely explained. Just one thing to mention, we are poor European, pretty poor (Croatia tbh is more developed) but still poorness 'style' in Serbia (or Croatia) has hothing in common with African countries poorness or Even South American countries poorness. or Middle East poorness. Both Serbia and Croatia especially can be consider as rich countries for basically 80% of planet. Unemployment is around 5-10%,
It's poor, but Europe poor, still Europe.
People used here to have everything (leftovers from Tito era) so they think they are poor if they cant buy brand new car or similar.
Also, opposite to Western Europe, huge chunk of population in both countries have properties in ownership, apartments, houses, many more of them (connect it also with shrinking and old population which left each year empty apartments that come into hands of relativies- so, for those who stay).
Also, population shrinking is really nasty thing but even that, that means that growth of 4.5 in Serbia example on each year shrinking population (and old one, so no masses of youngsters waiting to find job, like in idk Turkey, Egypt etc) is actually much larger, each year in some Egypt, Turkey or Brazil, with some 4% growth you also have possible milion (or millions) of new people that need apartments, food, everything. Not the case with Serbia or Croatia. Each year, bigger economy is shared on less population, and many apartments are empty due to that, and in ownership of relativies.
Last thing, both countries have huge diasporas which brings huge money, and diaspora is concetrated in most developed western countries (Austria, Swiss, Germany) - you have around 200-250k Serbs only in capital of Austria - Vienna (out of ~2 million) - one of key cities in Europe. Second example is Zurich, third Frankfurt. Munich for Croats etc.
Belgrade for example has bad facades, but city itself by cars, street culture, fashion, urban furniture, design, places to eat, offer, shopping is on pair with big European metropolis.
I mean, we are poor, but poor in Europe, that means something.
For example, Ukraine is totally another level of poorness and corruption, inequality, that is a country that is really really frustratingly poor and it's in Europe.
Belarus can be also there.
Average Russian lives much worse than average Serbian/Croatian, not to mention average Turk.
Trust me, Serbia is a poor country. Belgrade may be considered a well-off city but when I drove through Loznica, Nis, and some other cities I felt like I was in 1950s Kamchatka.
@@libertas5005 Nis is awesome city so i would not agree ...but yes that GDP figure does not include that i have own big apparent (that my grandmother left me ) and i have also big house..so i dont have to pay anything..in west you have to pay 1000 euros monthly for that..so for 1000 euros monthly there is no way you can live in west but here i can live very good ...problem here in Serbia is big corruption and wrong people on wrong places in public institutions

Chile's GDP per capita is literally more than double that of Serbia LOL
@@giovanni-cx5fb Yea, we all know for Chile, don't try to be smartass, Chile is like the most developed South America country and the only one being really developed.
Poverty in South America is totally different level than poverty in Serbia. You need to study and learn what are you talking about, and not just basic stats/facts.
@@libertas5005 ofcourse it's poor. But poor compared to what? To Germany, France, UK, USA? YES. To huge part of rest of the world it's consider a developed country. Unemployment - ~7%, here and there people own their apartments, and as i said old population meaning for the younger more options. I said it, you can compare countries where each year you ahve million of new people which needs to be feed with countries like Serbia or Croatia. Also you have to differ visual style and visual opinion from poverty.

Bosnians had sell their religion because of Ottomans they were serbs and Croats
Haftbefehl Cuzi not correct buddy. Bosnians had their own independent kingdom in the Middle Ages which under the rule of King Tvrtko was stronger than both Serbian and Croatian empires, which included a unique Bosnian Cyrillic written language, coat of arms, and church called the Bosnian Church. Educate yourself and stop pushing that nationalistic brainwashed narrative. Bosnians are and always have been their own ethnic group and people.
@@cruiserx5492
Yes, the kingdom was a Serb king. King Tvrtko I, as he himself says in one charter, sees the land of his ancestors Nemanjić (Serbian dynasty) "left his immune shepherd after them", goes "to the Serbian land", the railways "measure the throne of my parents". He was crowned King of Serbia and Bosnia in 1377. The most powerful lord of medieval Bosnia was of Serbian origin. Bosnia was equal from the Serbian lands.
armarmadillo tvrtko may have came from Serb background but the people he ruled were the original settlers in the area from when the original Slavic tribes settled in the 7th and 8th centuries. There was no mass exodus from Serbia to present day Bosnia, some Slavs settled in Serbia, some in Bosnia, others in Croatia, thus creating the ethnic groups/boundaries. The Slavs that settled on the Bosna River called themselves Bosnians and ruled themselves as such. Regardless of tvrtko, the people he ruled were Bosnians, who called themselves Bosnian, and had their own customs, religious practices, and written language. If they were Serb, they would have simply called themselves that. Even John Kinnamos, a Byzantine historian in the 12th century stated that the River Drina separates the Bosnians and Serb peoples, and that Bosnia wasn’t subordinate to Serb rule, and the people living there has a special way of life and governance.. the ruler of a country does not decide the ethnicity of the people living there... by that logic all Serbs Croats and Bosnians are Hungarian since Austria Hungary ruled them In the 1800’s....
Some interesting facts about Serbia:
- it’s one of the last places in europe where you can find large population of wild horses
- Vampires come originally from Serbian folklore, as well as the word vampir
-Danube river is in 10 countries but its both the narrowest and the widest im Serbia so its at pick of its beauty
- Devils town in Serbia was a candidate for The World Wonders
- 28.6 is Serbias sacred date and many things happend on that day: Battle for Kosovo, Start of the Second Balkan war, Serbian constitution, Princip killed Ferdinand triggering WWI, Versilles treaty whit which that same war ended
-Serbian have unique tradition of celebrating “slava” or a family petron saint, considering him the protector of the house and family
-Some Serbian dialects are almost the same as they were 600 years ago with very little changes in language
-Surprisingly Serbia is THE LEAST racist country in Europe according to Oxford studie

Notice how a 'romanian' count was named Vlad. I think Dracula was a serb! :)
28.6 vam je stvarno zajebani dan
Dean Susec I’m sure Dracula was Romanian, anyway he was famous im history for his torture methods, not being a vampire, he wasnt potraied as one untill 19th and 20th century novels, movies and cartoons. Guess his life and killing methods were inspiring for horror creators :D
Mladen Badrov Well honestly I am not sure.. I do believe that a first “appearance” of vampires was (i may be mistaken about the teritory) in south east serbia or norther part(vojvodina).. Eventhought vampires were know in some for in Slavic culture generally, as people who were burried alive and they wake up at nights to feed on blood, first official report were made in 17th or begging of 18th century. It was reported by Austrians that local Serbian population were exhuming bodies and stabbing them becuase the nails and the hair was still growing on corpses so they believed they werent dead... also there was some kind of a sheep desease that killed a lot of people leaving them with open wounds in that village so people were convinced that folklore creatures were real. Doctors from Austria perfomed a lot of autpsies but couldnt explain the phenomenon of hair and nails growing until years later it was discovered that it is normal for them to look longer because of skin going dry and body decomposing. I believe the first “vampire” was something like Petar Blagojevic, but the most famous in Serbia for sure is Sava Savanovic :)

The surname suffixes “-ić” and “-vić” are used in Croatia as well (in addition to Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina). It’s a patronymic suffix (meaning that the first people to bear surnames usually used their father’s name and a suffix) similar to “-son” in Scandinavia or “-ov”/“-ova” in Russia. Slovenians sometimes use the suffix “-ič” (but patronymic surnames aren’t as widespread there), while Macedonians typically use “-ski”/“-ska” (men use the former, women use the latter).
More information on South Slavic naming conventions can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surnames_by_country#South_Slavs
Edit: “North Macedonian” has been corrected to its proper demonym, “Macedonian”.
Thanks for sharing that!
Also Russia has -vich as well, and Czechia, as well as Slovakia. It is not just south slavic thing.
Example is Putin: Vladimir Vladimiro**vich** Putin
Manvici “Vladimirovich”, in this case, is a patronym and not a family name or surname. Russia and some other Eastern Slavic countries use a slightly different naming system that consists of a given name/first name, a patronymic (which consists of the person’s father’s name and a corresponding suffix determined by gender), and the family name/surname (which usually, but not always, has its own suffix also determined by gender). We’ll use Vladimir Putin as an example:
Vladimir is his given name.
Vladimirovich is his patronymic, which comes from his father, who was also named Vladimir. (Although he is only known to have had brothers who predeceased him, any sisters he would have had would have the patronymic “Vladirmirovna”, and his daughters also have the patronymic “Vladimirovna” as well.)
Putin is his family name. (His ex-wife took the surname Putina upon their marriage, and his daughters have the surname Putina as well.)
Basically, Vladimir Putin’s full name is the equivalent of saying, “Vladimir, son of Vladimir, of the Putin family” or even “Vladimir Putin, Jr.”.
As for women, we’ll use Maria Sharapova as an example. Her full name is Maria Yuryevna Sharapova. Maria is her given name, Yuryevna is her patronymic (her father’s name is Yuri, and “-evna” is one patronymic suffix used for females depending on the spelling of the father’s name), and Sharapova is the female form of her family name, Sharapov (which means her father’s name is Yuri Sharapov).
Not all family names in Eastern Slavic countries change with gender, either. Mila Kunis, for example, was born Mila Markovna Kunis (her surname is properly Kunis rather than Kunisa). There are all sorts of rules that determine this, and I’m not familiar with all the components.
As for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, they typically don’t use patronyms, and neither does most of the rest of the Western Slavic region (which also includes Poland). Names in this region typically consist of just a given name and a family name (typically with no middle name unless the person decides to adopt one as a second given name), and family names do have different endings for females (typically “-ová” if the family name comes from a noun or a name adopted as a surname - Novak becomes Novaková - and “-á” or something similar if the family name comes from an adjective - Novotny becomes Novotná). Similarly in Poland, the suffix “-ski” typically becomes “-ska”, although Poland has its own set of rules as well. (I remember watching a Wimbledon match where the commentator referred to Agnieszka Radwańska’s family in the stands as the “Radwańska” family when he actually should have used “Radwański”, as “Radwańska” is only the feminine form of her family name, which is Radwański.)
Here’s another Wikipedia that talks about Eastern Slavic naming customs in much more detail: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Slavic_naming_customs
I don’t make myself out to be the ultimate expert on names, it’s just a really nerdy pastime of mine.
There is no such thing as North Macedonians,only our country is named North Macedonia while we are Macedonians and we speak the Macedonian Language.I need to correct you.😉
mirce kocev Thank you for the clarification. The original comment has been corrected to reflect the proper demonym (a word that defines people of a particular place or ethnicity).

I kinda feel like we are super different while being super similar and that is a wierd relation to be in anyways. And I feel we both low key envy each other. Sort of like having a sibling that annoys you A LOT, but you can't help to love him cuz it's family.
If we are to be wise, we should focus on the positive traits of our neighbour, their virtues, not flaws, as we ourselves have flaws.
But the war hate residue is mostly gone. However, this will linger longer that we care to admit. In the end, it's all good as long as we do not start any more wars, ffs.
You nailed it, neighbour. :)
