1848 was the year in which the Hungarian peoples revolted against Vienna and wanted to secede and have a Hungarian independent state, while the Serbs, Croats and Romanians stayed loyal to Vienna and fought the Hungarians. Many Serbs in what is today Banat had died during the conflict and the memorial is dedicated to them. A town in Backa region is called Srbobran - literally the "defender of Serbdom", cause that's where the Serbs fought the Hungarians and won.
16:23 You have no idea how rare it is to see Vrsac Hills from Belgrade. Under certain meteorogical circumtances you can even see the carpathian mountains (in the winter with snow on them). Pretty rare sightings.
"Cow's baby meat"?! 😆😂 More appropriate cuisine term would be - baby beef. And that paprika and garlic Serbian salad you had - the one with green elongated cubanelle pepper, it is most delicious! Extremely gourmet in taste, and healthy, too. Original name is paprika belolucanka or zalucena paprika. It is traditionally made in Serbia, and can be prepared with red bell peppers, too.
Jablan, actually, (poplar tree, cottonwood) is a recurring motif in literature, for example, in poems of distinguished and much beloved Serbian writer, poet, journalist and diplomat Milos Crnjanski. Or in music pieces, too (Isidora Zebeljan, Zora D. contemporary opera).
5:50 I just love hearing Serbian language especially from villagers. I am not sure but are they speaking in an older accent? Out of all the Slavic languages Serbian is the most interesting and beautiful but I love all Slavic languages.
a joj! how old is this young lady? that memorial plaque, in vršac, remembers the railstation workers that died in the "national liberation battle" (y народноослободилачкoj борби / u narodnooslobodilackoj borbi) - that means in the years between 1941-1945 i love this video!
I used to live in one of the villages on the train route, named Banatski Karlovac. The train station there is literally the same as the one in Uljma. Copy pasted to the finest detail.
Trains still run; preferable to busses. They’re restoring the rail to Timișoara. That’s exciting. And the new high speed train to Novi Sad from bg is about a half hour vs 1.5 hours drive
First I thought "What train to Vrsac"!? Then, you realize there is none! Everybody has a car these days and there are good highways! Passenger trains were running in the all days when it was just about only means of transportation. Now it is just for freight!
@@dusanpiscevic6213 i'm told it's not easy to ride this one for free. need to buy a ticket at the stations or once on the train. one day i'll take it for fun. never been on a serbian train (tito's blue train doesn't count)
Local Serb detective concludes that traveler who’s visited 100+ countries only visited Serbia for its women. Could be a successful Serbian tourism marketing campaign: “We have girls. Come and see!”
@@FastEddieDice I just say the truth.90% off men 40+ from west countries who travel alone to ex socialist countries main motivation is to met younger woman and socialize with them because they thing its easier then in their own country.If they dont have success they just move to other country.I personally met few
@@FastEddieDice Vecchio?!😊 Vintage wine, like Richebourg ❤ Oh, calm down, I was just joking, teasing you, since your voice has the aroma of mmm... cognac... pure Hennessy X.O. 😂💋
Wow, that old abandoned train station with leaf all over the building and the view from brutus magnificus.
beauty in decay

Regular accent, but without teeth
It's a "village" accent!

0:42 lol That's why I love East Europe; they don't embellish things. They just tell the facts.
Sure. That’s what it was 😂
😮😮😮 eastern city gate rooftop? Oh my god
they said it couldn't be done. they said we'd get arrested. they know nothing
5:57 Wow what a nice old building! They should restore it!!! Where do they buy tickets? I guess they take buses now instead of trains 😥

There are daily passenger trains between Vršac & Belgrade, sometimes standing room only!
@@FastEddieDice indeed there is, I just looked a train schedule! Just so why anybody took that train!?! It is just about 50 miles or so!
@@dusanpiscevic6213 lots of students who don't have cars
@@FastEddieDice Oh, I understand now! What you meant was "lots of students who ride for free"! It makes sense now!
