Bro you please change it to Serbian Banat, as 2/3 of the historical Banat is actually in Romania today. It was split after the declaration of the Banat Republik in 1919. Also Romanian Banat is way more beautiful as you have mountains and lakes and Timisoara. But we love Serbian Banat mucho hermanos.
You should visit Senta as well, I was there this year and really loved it. It’s a nice mix of Serbian and Hungarian cultures, I think you’ll enjoy it. Btw I recommend trying the ice cream near the main part of the city in a little museum shop, it’s so delicious (the best I ever had actually)!

In truth, Banat is split between Romania and Serbia (we Romanians actually have a larger part of it). A small part (part of a subregion called Torontál) is located in Hungary. You can't really talk about Banat and not talk about its capital Timișoara. It's not what it used to be (the city degraded much under communist rule and it wasn't that well run afterwards either), but it does have several lovely old squares with Austro-Hungarian Baroque-style buildings. Also, it was the 2nd city in the world with public electric lighting (after New York) and one of the first with electric trams. Banat (at least the Romanian side with which I am familiar with, but probably also the Serbian one as well) is almost like the Switzerland of the east, because people of all nationalities (Romanians, Serbs, Hungarians, Germans, Bulgarians, Slovaks) live here in relative harmony. In some cases, even the Gypsies, notorious for their unruly nature and hated in many other parts of Europe, can be good neighbors here.

No, there is little Hungarian influence in Vojvodina which is authentically Serbian. What do you mean “lack of Ottoman influence”?

There is no “Turkish influence” in the South that you imagine it to be, it’s just much more authentically Serbian due to lack of German influence which is more present in the north.

I adore Vojvodina, Banat specifically because my folks are from Kikinda. I may not be born there but Vojvodina is my land as well, I hope it gets more respect from the government.
There’s been until recently a sizeable German minority in Banat called the „Banatschwaben“. They were invited there as settlers by the Habsburgs , about the same time the Serbs arrived , because the Banat had been emptied after centuries of war against the Ottomans. I‘m not sure how many are left today 、probably some in Timisoara (Temeschburg ) .
They're quite noticeable in Timişoara and Arad; not as many of them as before the 90's, but still a remarkable number. I think almost every Romanian in these cities knows at least 2 Banat Swabians. Both my best friend and boyfriend are "Şvabi din Banat", for example.
Nobody wants to talk about why there are almost no Germans in the Banat now. Families who lived there for 200+ years were massacred, stripped of all their possessions, and sent to Russian work camps by partisans.
@@alisonbahr3749 you’re right , I didn’t want to talk about that for fear of spoiling the mood 😬 I guess that’s what the partisans did back then , after they themselves had suffered from the German military occupation of Serbia and the fascist puppet state called „Independent Croatia“. Some were indeed Nazi-collaborators, but of course driving them out on a large scale was against human rights , just as the Czechs did with the Sudete Germans in 1945 .
@@alisonbahr3749 I only know of germans from Serbian Banat to have suffered this, the Romanian communist government was way more inclusive with the Svabians.
@@geppetox748 Of course, the Romanian communist state also 'sold' many of our former German compatriots to the Federal Republic of Germany in exchange for hard currency, depriving our country of many hard-working and intelligent people. Of those who didn't leave then, many left after the Revolution, not seeing any future for them here (who can blame them?), further adding to our brain drain problem.
wow, thank you very much. I live in Timisoara(in Banat, Romania) and now I want to come and visit the Serbian Banat again :). Can't wait for the bike track along the Bega river to be ready. It will be from Timisoara to Zrenjanin, Awesome! BTW, thanks for Kikinda, I never heard of it and it looks quite nice, loved the tree street, the museum and interesting horse mill.
U forgot about Senta, the 2nd most hungarian city in Vojvodina, and Battle of Senta was a huge 200 iq. Eugene of savoy defeated the Turks near the city in 1697
from the south of tisza to the retezat mountains from romania, it s romanian territory. and from the southern part of vojvodina to the south of hungary, it s west banat. so, yes.
I have been in Kikinda but didn't go through that much of it, anyways it is beautiful! Btw the flag you thought is the Kingdom of Serbia is actually the Traditional flag of Vojvodina that took graet inspiration from the Principality of Serbia
I'm from central Serbia, but my kum (best man & godfather to my son & vice versa), is from the town of Vršac, right on the Romanian border. I love that place. My family away from home.

2 small things to mention: - The green bridge is not 4 konja debela that bridge was demolished back in the day and in his place the bridge where you shot Begej stands; - In the communist era Zrenjanin was one of the most industrialised cities in Yugoslavia, having GDP per capita just behind Maribor,Zagreb and Belgrade, and having gross economy larger than whole Montenegro or Kosovo in SFRY. The sheer surface of abandoned or demolished/privatised factories from that era covers roughly a fifth of the whole city area. Kinda weird when I think about it.
Finally something about Banat,though I must say Pančevo is not the biggest city in Serbian Banat,the biggest city,by a few hundred people is Veliki Bečkerek,or Zrenjanin,and river that flows try Timisoara is Bega(Begej)not Tamiš,and this you know since you said it yourself in your video about Romania... But a great video non the less Mogao sam i na srpskom lupiti komentar al ono..
NorthEastern province, not NorthWest and you could've included Vršac as it's arguably the most developed place to live in of all in the province, and along with it, the Deliblatska peščara site which is very interesting topographic-wise and in other ways. You could expand more on all the places mentioned, and if you do a little bit more digging you'd find interesting stuff regarding villages across Serbian part of Banat as well, nice vid nonetheless. 🤙
There's also the Banat Bulgarians. They're descended from Paulician heretics who converted to Roman-catholicism in the 16-17th century. These Paulicians came from Bulgaria back when it was a hotbed of dualist heresy in medieval times, and before that they came from Armenia.

I adore Vojvodina, Banat specifically because my folks are from Kikinda. I may not be born there but Vojvodina is my land as well, I hope it gets more respect from the government.
There’s been until recently a sizeable German minority in Banat called the „Banatschwaben“. They were invited there as settlers by the Habsburgs , about the same time the Serbs arrived , because the Banat had been emptied after centuries of war against the Ottomans.
I‘m not sure how many are left today 、probably some in Timisoara (Temeschburg ) .
They're quite noticeable in Timişoara and Arad; not as many of them as before the 90's, but still a remarkable number. I think almost every Romanian in these cities knows at least 2 Banat Swabians. Both my best friend and boyfriend are "Şvabi din Banat", for example.
Nobody wants to talk about why there are almost no Germans in the Banat now. Families who lived there for 200+ years were massacred, stripped of all their possessions, and sent to Russian work camps by partisans.
@@alisonbahr3749 you’re right , I didn’t want to talk about that for fear of spoiling the mood 😬
I guess that’s what the partisans did back then , after they themselves had suffered from the German military occupation of Serbia and the fascist puppet state called „Independent Croatia“. Some were indeed Nazi-collaborators, but of course driving them out on a large scale was against human rights , just as the Czechs did with the Sudete Germans in 1945 .
@@alisonbahr3749 I only know of germans from Serbian Banat to have suffered this, the Romanian communist government was way more inclusive with the Svabians.
@@geppetox748 Of course, the Romanian communist state also 'sold' many of our former German compatriots to the Federal Republic of Germany in exchange for hard currency, depriving our country of many hard-working and intelligent people. Of those who didn't leave then, many left after the Revolution, not seeing any future for them here (who can blame them?), further adding to our brain drain problem.
7:32 its not flag of Kingdom of Serbia, but national(old) flag of Vojvovodina
wow, thank you very much. I live in Timisoara(in Banat, Romania) and now I want to come and visit the Serbian Banat again :). Can't wait for the bike track along the Bega river to be ready. It will be from Timisoara to Zrenjanin, Awesome! BTW, thanks for Kikinda, I never heard of it and it looks quite nice, loved the tree street, the museum and interesting horse mill.
i always wanted to visit Colonia Bulgara !
Some cities are so lucky that their development stopped in the Baroque era, others are not so lucky that their development stopped in the Soviet Era.
U forgot about Senta, the 2nd most hungarian city in Vojvodina, and Battle of Senta was a huge 200 iq.
Eugene of savoy defeated the Turks near the city in 1697
Banat is more or less split between Serbia, Romania+parts of South East Hungary.
from the south of tisza to the retezat mountains from romania, it s romanian territory. and from the southern part of vojvodina to the south of hungary, it s west banat. so, yes.
I live 10 kms to kikinda, and visit weekly as a proud Hungarian, but never knew about the clay sculptures, like wtf
As a Hungarian, this video triggers me...
... because I hate when quality content is too short.
Keep it up, friend!
Lol

I have been in Kikinda but didn't go through that much of it, anyways it is beautiful! Btw the flag you thought is the Kingdom of Serbia is actually the Traditional flag of Vojvodina that took graet inspiration from the Principality of Serbia
Ијао мајко, ***флешбекови на први светски***. Ништа брате срећна нова,настави са радом,срећно ти било у животу.
Dope to see my crib in Kikinda at 8:00.
I'm from central Serbia, but my kum (best man & godfather to my son & vice versa), is from the town of Vršac, right on the Romanian border. I love that place. My family away from home.
Is this a 2 part Banat video? One in Serbia and one in Romania?
Eventually yes

greetings from slovakia my brothers we love vojvodina ❤️
greetings from romania :)
"they congregate in a gymnasium"
not even surprised. but what do they use instead of olive oil?
2 small things to mention:
- The green bridge is not 4 konja debela that bridge was demolished back in the day and in his place the bridge where you shot Begej stands;
- In the communist era Zrenjanin was one of the most industrialised cities in Yugoslavia, having GDP per capita just behind Maribor,Zagreb and Belgrade, and having gross economy larger than whole Montenegro or Kosovo in SFRY. The sheer surface of abandoned or demolished/privatised factories from that era covers roughly a fifth of the whole city area. Kinda weird when I think about it.
Finally something about Banat,though I must say Pančevo is not the biggest city in Serbian Banat,the biggest city,by a few hundred people is Veliki Bečkerek,or Zrenjanin,and river that flows try Timisoara is Bega(Begej)not Tamiš,and this you know since you said it yourself in your video about Romania...
But a great video non the less
Mogao sam i na srpskom lupiti komentar al ono..
Loved the background song of Kikinda. :)
There's also the romanian Banat region on the other side of the border, worth chekcing out :p
banat is serbian city wtf hungary have with this , nothing
NorthEastern province, not NorthWest and you could've included Vršac as it's arguably the most developed place to live in of all in the province, and along with it, the Deliblatska peščara site which is very interesting topographic-wise and in other ways. You could expand more on all the places mentioned, and if you do a little bit more digging you'd find interesting stuff regarding villages across Serbian part of Banat as well, nice vid nonetheless. 🤙
Highest number of Owls in Europe..?!?! Wow ! Who can resist..?!
You forgot about the other part of Banat, which is in western an southwestern Romania.
To come back to Pančevo, you forgot to mention the Vojlovica monastery. Who was founded by despot Stefan Lazarević in 1383.
There's also the Banat Bulgarians. They're descended from Paulician heretics who converted to Roman-catholicism in the 16-17th century. These Paulicians came from Bulgaria back when it was a hotbed of dualist heresy in medieval times, and before that they came from Armenia.
Banat Vojvodina born in Zrenjanin it was all beautiful back then in the 60’s and 70’s before we left zrenjanin for Germany and then to the USA I miss it ! ❤🇷🇸❤️

Why did you change your name to janos from nik
Would Nik be his anglo-adopted name?

@@ethanbennett9000 no because nik is the eastern european nickname of nikolay it is widely used in albania
I am proud banatian Romanian and serbian The Banat will have it's independence one day...
I'm also from Banat but from the romanian part of it. I'm a proud romanian but I have a serbian family and I'm so disgusted about it.
There is a Serbian Banat and a Romanian Banat, so the title is misleading.
And also a bit smaller hungarian part...
Look at the thumbnail idiot
Banat is a Romanian part aswell
Oh maaan you didnt mention lighthouses on Danube...
People who live in banat: *le gasp*

Song starting at 6:52 is called "Esik az eső, ázik a heveder". A beautiful Hungarian war song
The Treaty of Trianon 1920 defined almost 2 million Hungarian and Saxons ( Germans moved in Hungarian land at XV- XVI century’s)
Millions of Hungarians found themselves living in foreign country’s.
The 100 years old Treaty as an open wound that basically has an enormous impact today.
The number of ethnic Hungarians who are today considered important They culture have to leave

Na elmész a Bánatba
Fun fact: Here in Romania there is a province called Banat literaly bordering Serbian Banat. Romanian Banat starts and ends in the same points as the Serbian Banat. Its like we are brothers! Romania loves Serbia and vice versa. #iambalkan
because its the same fucking geographic region....
I knowww
Hungary has also a part of Banat. It's a multiethnic historical region.
*"I live in Serbia so you dont have too"*
Banat is Hungary 🇭🇺
Hungary is Mongolia 🇲🇳
