Moved back to Serbia from the USA after 30 years.
Love it here!
❤👍
BLAGO TEBI TO BI I JA ZELEO
What are some of the changes/differences you noticed compared to 30 years ago? Were you escaping the draft back then?
Why did you leave USA? Life is so good in the states.
Not if you actually know what's going on behind the curtain.
Beautiful Serbia 🇷🇸 greetings from Miami
Go Dolphins 🐬🐬🐬!

Glad to see people enjoying other smaller cities in Serbia. Getting tiered of Belgrade videos.
Serbs are very warm and good people. I am slovene and was always welcomed there. Amzaing people, very kind and loving.
I am a US Expat living in Krusevac Serbia so I can personally attest to Brads video(s).
Big thanks Brad for putting this, and all your other videos together concerning life in Serbia and especially here in Krusevac.👍🏼
Great Job 👏
that is very interesting! krusevac is my hometown and I've never met a foreign person here before. whenever I even run into one on the street, I'm slightly taken aback, considering krusevac isn't really as popular or "flashy" as some other major cities.
i'd love to know what your experience has been like. how do my fellow townsmen treat you? does the language barrier set you back in any way? and most importantly, how do you like the food?
I moved here 13 years ago from Idaho USA, best thing I ever did..
Welcome to Serbia :))
Thank you For Promoting Serbia. We Love You !!!! :)

I'm actually so happy for you, Brad!
Greetings from Novi Sad, Serbia
What a BLAST of USEFUL info Brad. I'm older and have been thinking of retiring in Serbia. Since I lived in Prague for nearly 15 years (working back and forth on a ship as a seaman) then I'm experienced. Everything you said had the details to make it work (and life is in the details). Wonderful job this time.
If you are about to visit Novi Sad I'll be glad to be your tour guide. Serbia is so divers country full of contrasts and different mentalities but people are generally very friendly towards foreigners. Serbia is close to all major European countries and flights to Egypt, Turkey, France, Germany, Moscow, Rome take 1 to 3 hours. Plenty of ski resorts around, 5 to 7 hours car ride to Greek or Adriatic coast make it really a good destination to work, live and enjoy life.
I am Serbian living in Canada. I visited Krusevac in May. I have to say, I am very impressed how well rebuilt and nice Krusevac looks now. ❤🇷🇸
Kruševac is very very good city to live. Not so big, not even small, it has almost everything in it but in the other hands peoples are great which is most important fact. I know by visiting kruševac many many times.
Videces kako su divni, kad te budu smatrali svojim ili ako si gej npr.
The only problem is that Merima has been missing in Krusevac for a long while.
I just received a big surprise. I was reading the menu at Bagdala restaurace and noticed the similarity of Serbian language to Czech. Plus they have things on the menu I would like to try. WOW!
Srbi i Česi imaju dosta istih reči i imena, Miloš, Milan, Miroslav, Slavka. Naš najveći narodni heroj je Miloš Obilić.ćMoj tata je radio u Pragu 1974. tada je zavoleo Čehe i kaže da su oni kulturan vredan pošten narod.
Same root, Slavic languages.
Sure, the language is almost identical but our Slivovitz is stronger than Czech's Slivovitz!

Serbia is finally beginning to improve its rail system. Agree the new Belgrade-Novi Sad high speed is one of the best Ive ridden in Europe(October 2022). And yes they are rebuilding the line in both Hungry and Serbia for an improved Budapest-Belgrade higher speed route. May be another 1-2 years before completion. Unfortunately Belgrade-Nis may be five years away. But Serbia is on the right track(pun intended)
Belgrade-Budapest will have been finished by the start of 2025.

Hahahah topspeed 200km/h...in my country...1954 we had it..
@@mizzo2006 1954, ten years after Partizans killed your Nazi loyalists and filled mass graves with your SS Handzar division. You inherit that railway from Yugoslavia Partizans, mostly serbs built that railway. Your country didnt exist in history until 1991 and you dont even control majority of your country, you control minority hahahah
Interesting fact: Krusevac used to be a capital city of Serbia back in 14 century, under Emperor Lazar Hrebeljanovic, who fight against Ottomans on Kosovo (1389). Today there are only some parts of Donjoan Tower (largest tower of medieval fortress) left in Krusevac.
Lazar was not an emperor, he was not even a king. At the time, he was the most powerful noble. But yes, in our minds, he is more than any of these titles.
@@danicadabic9789 Well, after emperor Dusan Silni, he was one of many nobles, that took his part of country. There were Vukasin and Ugljesa Mrnjacevic, Brankovici, Uros (Dusans son), and many others.
@@danicadabic9789 Lazar use to be what Anglosaxons call "High Duke" !
Greetings from my lovely town of Kruševac, I'm glad you chose it out of many other cities as it is one of the most beautiful and underrated cities. If I ever get to see you, I'll gladly take u out for a drink man, all the best!
Мој вољени❤ Крушевац...
Одакле си селе, девојано млада....
Give this man a citizenship ASAP 😊
That's the dream. Thanks!
@@bradbeckett Yeah after Charles Cater, you are my favorite American with passion for Serbia.
A citizenship deserved 100%.
@@bradbeckettyour dream will became the reality!
@@IvansBikesBmwsCater is a nasty piece of work
@@IvansBikesBmws Charles Cather works for a U.S. State Department program which takes money and young people out of Serbia. It is not good for Serbia overall. The program costs Serbs and their families thousands of dollars and that doesn't even include their airfare and accommodations. All that for some low-skilled labor jobs in the U.S. during the summer months. Most have to get 2 or 3 full-time jobs to cover the costs of the program, airfare and rent. Many of these young Serbs find a way to stay, so it does drain the young people from Serbia. It is a program which helps the U.S., NOT Serbia. But Serbs don't see the reality because they are blinded by a few compliments he throws their way. He eats a lot of fast food in Serbia and says it's good, and Serbs think that is a good image for Serbia!? When he travels to other places in the Balkans he goes to nice restaurants, but in Serbia he eats cheaply.
We need more Americans like your self. Enjoy my friend. Living in Serbia also brings privilege that you can travel in no time to the 10 or more countries around
Russia is not just Moscow and S. Petersburg, only a person who knows very little about Russia can say that... there are nice places all over Russia. Some of larger cities that have a lot of attractions are: Tula, Volvograd (also known as Stalingrad), Krasnodar, Sochi, Rostov on Don, Omsk, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok...
He means economically. So much financial power is concentrated to especially Moscow, somewhat St. Petersburg and the rest is distributed to the rest of the country. Maybe a bit less today than 20 years ago.
@@emilpopovic6167 Russia was part of Soviet Union. S. Union had other cities the size of Sankt Petersburg like Kiev, Minsk, Kharkov, Baku, Astana... Economical power was spread to rest of the country true this mayor economical and industrial centers. This is the reason why now days it appears like only Moscow developed and other places in Russia stagnated true history, but that is only the case because Russia was part of larger entity and Moscow was capital of that larger entity. Wealth and resources like Oil, Gas and other ores from Russia were distributed to centers witch are no longer part of country, to build industry in those places. When Soviet Union collapse Russia had to pay the debt of all former Republics and it did by 2017. Now days Russian resources are spreed to Russian cities but Moscow still grow because it is central financial hub, all the banks, bureaucracy and insurance companies are there.
Управу је лик, остатак русије је мало њесра
@@branimirnikolic4559 Нз какве америка има везе са тиме да су само 2 града развијена у целој русији, Русија је свашта прегрмела што није морала, рат у украјини грузији и чеченији је могао да се избегне као и у афганистану
Volvograd??
Another hint
You can travel to Turkey with a Serbian ID card (not a passport) since last year.
Im quite happy to see you are having a positive experience here, even more so considering you arent just a tourist who can have very few things go wrong in comparison to someone moving here and bringing their business with them.
Welcome and all the best o7
Great video Brad. Lots of useful information. We plan to travel to Serbia next year . Thanks 🙏
Great video! Thanks for your input !!
Finally! how are you doing man? we need more videos from you😊
Thanks for the video. We will move to Nis region soon. Pozdrav
Serbia is on my shortlist of retirement locations. Thanks for sharing your experiences on the move.
Great insight! Very good point on railways.
You’re awesome! And everything you said I confirm. I can’t say too much but my kids go to school in Serbia Loznica after living in Germany since birth. We are more than happy with live in Serbia. We enjoy a beautiful garden.
This was quite informative, thank you for this - and especially for all of links. I'm Canadian, so not everything you talked about applies, but in any case I've been looking at potentially moving to Romania and/or Serbia sometime in the next 12-18 months. This was helpful!
Serbia is reducing the time to get permanent residency from 5 to 3 years. Definitely sell everything and come! Look up "Nix Serbia" here on TH-cam, she's from Canada too.
@@bradbeckett Thanks for the additional rec! I'll likely be visiting in the next few months - have only visited Belgrade and Nis in the past and I'd like to check out some other areas. I've consulted with a couple of lawyers and there's a distinct possibility that I may not have to choose (ie. can hold active residence permits in both countries). Could be pretty useful to have options.
@@bradbecketthigh, watched your video. Excellent presentation. I am a portrait artist from India. In the last week of January I am planning to visit Hungary for exhibition of my portraits. If I do come there I will be planning to visit Serbia for a week and try one exhibition there.
I was thinking about moving back to Russia after 30 years of living in US but now I am considering Serbia.
Thank you for moving in and bringing your business and talent! If you want to stay indefinitely, I strongly suggest learning our language as it would enable you to dive into all the unique and amazing culture, music, movies, literature, etc. Enjoy!
I love how you give a shoutout to everyone
Thank you for promoting your and mine country, I would like to have the perspectives to return and live back in Srb. But ty Brad, u r a good guy :)
Came to Belgrade for a month.... Getting papers set up so I can stay for a year... love it... thanks for the video!
any ither americans watching this bc u wanna move to serbia or just me
It's way less crazy here.
If you take care of the serbs they will take care of you - Truer words were never spoken my man.
Wow what great tips. I want to move to Serbia. Thank you!
Welcome to Serbia! Enjoy..👍
Bro come to Banja Luka, I moved here a couple of years ago from Salt Lake. Keep up the excellent work.
Welcome to Krusevac. Hope you enjoy it here :)
i agree whit you that the government needs to invest more in railways and transportation in general, city busses have a ventilation but those who travel between cities need to be more comfortable, some of those busses are 20-30 years old for example
I am from Krusevac and now living in Belgrade and deeply regret it. It was only when I left Krusevac that I learned to embrace how perfect the city is
Welcome bro 👍
Welcome! 🇷🇸❤️
Welcome brother
Paperwork (administration) used to be a hell but now is much better. I remember when I had to change my passport, I prepared myself to spend at least 2 hours on it, but actually, it took only 15 minutes.
We bought land close to you and are going move there soon (serbian wife). We leave western europe for similar reasons you stated in your video.
We love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you are influencer, or you have any kind of job, that you can work from home, no matter where you are. Then Serbia is a great country. You have a same amount of money, but you have everything cheaper, also food in Serbia is so rich and tasty, alot of good places to visit, also nature is beautifull and doesnt look so wild, like somwhere in Asia or South America. But even average citizen in Belgrade, has only about 70000-80000 dinars (600-700 euros) salary. For food you need at least 25000, taxes somewhere betwen 15000 and 20000 in average. If you live in a rented flat of house, then at least 25000 dinars more. So it is very hard for us, to live here.
Tačno tako! Mnogo pozdrzva iz Nemačke.
Hello im 30km from Kruševac nice to meet you.
Hi! Thank you for your videos
It would be wonderful if you could record videos about the neighborhoods around the city, such as hiking places, or some natural attractions 😊
Its very small town,like 50 000 so not much to see but there is lot off nice nature in surroundings like vrnjacka banja,goc
Great video
Thanks!
Accidently got this in my feed as I'm actually Serbian and don't really need the advice. Regardless, my dude, you're so informative and borderline national treasure :D Hope you get the citizenship!
Dobro došao
heyy you are in krusevac❤ i come next year back from Switzerland after 25 years.😊
Thanks
I actually live in Krusevac! And i saw you when you were filming haha
Hahaha how awesome.
Unfortunately chances of people moving outside big cities are small. Big majority of constituents have left small towns to move to Belgrade. Villages were thriving only 20-30 years ago. Now only people left are the ones left to die. It would be great if it came true, because Serbia can easily live of its land.
It's been a while since your last video. I thought you left the country. Glad to see you again making a video from Kruševac. ✌️😉 Yes, it's definitely easier now to move to Serbia. The government decided to make it easier, thus speed it up, 1. we need to import workers, 2. people who flee from Russia.
I'm not leaving: th-cam.com/video/gCjVfdoDRJo/w-d-xo.html

@@bradbeckettShow goes on 💪😂
Tap to pay also saved me in Serbia when the ATM did not wanted to take my card, but Samsung pay with is connected to the same card worked. I started watching after googling how to ride the bus in Belgrade and when I went to buy the busplus card, the lady in the kiosk informed me that they hanged the system same week. So it's just SMS-tickets now and it was like 30 cents for city center zone for the whole calendar day.
Welcome bro ...!!!
Thanks! 😃
You're in a bit of a heat wave there right now and for the next few days. But the heat isn't likely as humid as it is in the south US.
Wow serbia looks so clean wow wow
i remember watching videos when u arrived, 3 years already bbbbro
Come to Leskovac in a week, there's a food festival called "Roštiljada".
very good content
Excellent
Nice!
Never been there, looks very nice
I was expecting more usage of the cyrillic alphabet on streets but I'm glad it is not, since I can't understand it and I want to visit Serbia again in the future! I've already been in Belgrade, maybe it is time for Nis. Thank you for your video
Welcome to Sebia ❤ Novi Sad is also interesting to visit. Also Tršić, with old, small houses, tipical for Serbia... Welcome, and glad You like Serbia 😇
Up to 50.000€ ~ 60.000$ tax free, I opened a company d.o.o(LLC) , but I have the Serbian citizenship
I don't mind paying a 15% corporate and dividend tax to Serbia. It's reasonable and not going to try to control the world.
Vrsac is a really nice city,my family are from there, I've been living in the USA for 25 years....
I Serbian😊thanks for wisit serbia😊
I am in the planning process of moving my family and my business to St. Petersburg in a couple years.
i'm an american spending a month in serbia right now and i'm blown away by how much better life is here than back home. i dont know why anyone would want to live in america when serbia exists. honestly though, if you've got $1500 a month of passive income, you can live anywhere on earth. that's the catch of this tutorial - how do you get the passive income? my income isnt passive, i work for it and if i leave america, it stops coming in
We need to figure out how to make it passive. Then we can see the world!
Well, you can work remotely from Serbia, or start your online or offline business here. That's what most American immigrants do here.
Hey Bred I’m from Serbia living in the US. The best way to get cash is to get a Ria account /app and then send it to you. I pay like $5 for 400$ when I send it to myself when I used the bank. You can pick up dinars where ever they have ria.
You are in Krusevac? Welcome to my town!🙂
Hey man, you might want to check Loznica, amazing town in Western Serbia with beautiful nature, river Drina, beaches, etno villages etc. Great videos, keep up the great work!

I used reiff while i studied medicine there. Only one that worked with my wells fargo from home.
My childs are living there! Will be great if can I meet u there , I am from Fort Lauderdale... flying very soon to there!!!🎉🎉🎉
Railroads are under Reconstruction in Serbia but its long line sooo it will take some time
Try Smederevo - 46 km from Belgrade, on river Danube.
enjoy Serbia
True average salary in Krusevac is around $400-500 per month ($5-6K yearly income). People can manage to make ends meet just barely with those wages and usually a few generations live under the same roof. On the other side, when the US citizen comes in such a small town with a yearly income of $50K, which by the way is nothing special for the US - it's obvious he can live like a king there and he's considered to be ultra rich.
Krusevac, my home town! 😁
I would recommend you to go to the city Kraljevo, It's a nice and quiet town and it has nice prices if you search the right places. I would not suggest you to go the big city's prices there can be a bit high and in 60% you can get scammed, If you are looking to spare some money i would suggest moving in a smaller city in Serbia and to get a friend to translate for you if you don't understand the language, You can ask people usually the young folk to translate for you cuz the do usually speak English, Hope this helps you people.
People in Serbia are happier with low income than western countries with higher income...
I agree. I make significantly less money then working full time in the US but I have 3/4 or more of my day completely free to do whatever I want.
Im so glad to see people talking good about Serbia. Because we aint terrorists and we just like our freedom. There is no hate only love. Nice to have such american foreigners in here. Come visit Sabac, the serbian Paris.
On a second look you do have some of Huell's 'swagger'! And with haircut w/shades, yes - you got it! My apologies!
Good luck with "Serbia's Gold" series - if one doesn't exists already!
Bro few years ago from aeodrom in Nis u have flights for Milano (Italy) or Lugano (Switcarland) for 30 euros. Low budget trawel 😎
