My Canadian born cousin married a Serb and 3 children later they decided to try living in Serbia near his large extended family. It began as a 2 year experiment … it’s been about 16 years now and they’re definitely not going back to Canada.

Born and lived in France for 39 years (plus 8 in serbia from 2 to 10), back in 2020 just at covid start, goes once in 1-2 years to see my French house, literally 😅 quality of life and security in Serbia, compared to France is uncomparable, and I'm far from Belgrade... Small village with increduble view, my own cinema of 85 m2, pizza hoven, 6 huge teraces on 4 levels, 1850 m2 in total space, 450 m2 underground with pool... External pool next year... In France for this I'll need to be multi milionair 😂 here all this for 700K maybe less... Near Paris for this price it will be 300-350 m2 with no view and certainly not this quality and gardens... So Serbia is really a great country for living.
Maybe that shit is because highly educated and highly skilled of us can dream about 700k savings in Serbia. If you are not in some IT shit and majority of population are not computer nerds.
I am doig a job that my german colleague is doing. We have same prices and standards of living. Moreor less I have everything average german have maybe even more. I earn 1700/month. My german friend earns 4200. same fucking job in same fucking industry. Fuck.

In WWI we lost 60% of male population so every kid born after that was praised like a little god. Everyone take care of everyone kids. That is why we love kids so much.
There is one interesting thing about Serbia.( I don't know if that's the case in the rest of the Balkans). Our boomers (my parents) used to call our little boys "ćeri", meaning douther, like they wanted to tell us that we were as much loved as them, even more, and they used to call their little girls "sine", meaning son, as they wanted to say that they were as valuable as the sons.
@@GoranJovanovic-fr1ig lol even today some ppl call their doughters (sine) or sons (ćero). We even have old song caled: ti si ćero, tatin sin (doughter u are fathers son) rough translation. Sorry for bad english
@@GoranJovanovic-fr1igIt's true what you say. I remember from my childhood the feeling I had when an elderly person calls you (sine), son. This works very positively, respectfully and gives you the feeling that he loves you as much as his own son. When you are older and someone says this to you, it means that they are letting you know that you are younger and it acts as a kind of advice, sometimes also a reminder that you are still inexperienced and that it is better to listen to the elders.
@@markomilojevic9049What you are talking about are "Virdžine", these are girls who took on the role of a son because there were no male descendants in the family, this was an old custom in Montenegro and elsewhere, but it stayed in Montenegro the longest.

You can succeed in Serbia as well as you can in the US, it just depends on your skills and talent. Maybe you won't make as much money as you would in the US, but you don't even need that much money for Serbia, because here you can do more with less money, for which you would need a fortune if you wanted to create the same in the US.
some things we don't measure with money, nobody will come to your home and kill your kids or harm you to rob you....freedom is the most important in your life
At this point Serbia has way more opportunity than states any business you wanna start? It’s 10 times less., maybe you’re not gonna make the same money like in the states but you’re not gonna have a stress and overheads like in the states.And most important is time .Time to spend with your kids, family, and friends money cannot buy those things.In US you’ll make more money- maybe-but the more you make the last time you have , more overhead and always thinking you need more and more and more and you forget to enjoy in simple things, and your joy goes to all artificial things.
Wonderful video, glad you like it here, I relate to Alex in many aspects, I'm an ex bartender, I live here all my life and work for the company in the US now. I gotta address one thing here that really rubbed me the wrong way, "Even with the girls it's temporary, but at some point you kinda expect them to go off and do their own thing." Here, if you really care about your family, you're always expected to have a place for them in your home. If you don't, you may try for example building a second floor on the house, helping your kids buy their first property or coming to a solution that's not something along the lines of "you're 18/25/30 yr old, you're on your own now buddy" Most people rent only when it's necessary But you're also obliged to take care of your parents and grandparents or finding someone to hire to take care of them (retirement homes are unpopular here) That's why nobody ends up homeless because of a large medical bill or something similar You may have to set boundaries for your extended family (familija) but you're always a family with your ancestors and descendants (porodica)
Well funny thing I am a Serb in US and I keep watching this videos haha I am really close to take my family back home . US is not what it used to be , and I definitely miss family and healthy environment for children.

I seriously need to get in touch with Alex in this video. My wife is Serbian as well, I'm about to visit, we've entertained moving there to retire but we still have some work years ahead of us. I do music for a living at the moment, so I'd be open to working from home like he's doing. Maybe he can help me get in the door there.

So happy to watch you and listen your experience living in Belgrade , having family , enjoying life owe there. Yes I was born there and loved any day been in Yugoslavia place well known for loving the young population and caring for children . Love and hugs to children was not offensive for us but expressing love which they once grew up will pass too they children. Such beautiful to say . Love how you are mentioned in good way differences in between children life and development in America and Serbia which once was part of Yugoslavia. Yes there were free and secure life for all and specially for children, then respect for those people needed more attention when goes to doctors or in public transport . In Belgrade and other places of the Yugoslavia that was common filling. Love your presentation. Thanks for and wishing you family best of health and love.
Serbian people and culture are exceptional, too bad we can't say the same for our atrocious economy... It's nice to see a foreigner who unlike most of us, isn't blinded by financial struggles, it helps to remind us that there's much to be happy about, money aside.
Serbia's economy, weak as it might seem, is by far the strongest of all post-Yugoslavia states. Just look at the IMF figures (available online) for their respective GDPs and their rates of indebtedness. Serbia has the least foreign debt and the highest GDP.
@@vaska1999that might be so but being a Serb that lives in Australia I can tell you every single one of of my family members is educated and making low wages. It doesn’t make any sense to me. They spend years in university & they have wages that they can barely get through the month with. It’s shocking
Кад би Срби имали овакав поглед на саме себе, позитивност, толеранцију и објективност гдје би нам био крај. За дјецу и одрастање социјално одрастање је скоро битније од образовања.
Well there you have it Folks, the American dream is now migrated to Serbia, that explains why everyone moving over there, the French, Russians and the Canadians too
I live in USA 30 years comes from Bosnia,Serbia or Balkan is Disneyland for USA ,everything is much better,sun nobody’s stay in USA,this country days,till New Years I back to home,maybe Bosnia or Croatia
I am from Belgrade but live in Canada in beautiful Vancouver , British Columbia. It was interesting hearing a westerner speaking how is life for him in balkan country. I must admit , it took me many years to get used to western culture. There are many things i like here but there are many things i miss here from my country. I admire u for living in Serbia as an American, i would find it nearly impossible. But , while we are young we can handle the differences, but , be aware , as the older age comes, because that is when we all want to go back where we came from. Life is not perfect no matter where we live, so enjoy what you can even in Belgrade, there are much worse places on this planet.
Spoken like someone who never lived with a Serbian salary and dealt with Serbian bureaucracy. There is a reason why there is a massive brain drain in the country. If was all sunshines and rainbows, then they wouldnt be leaving, but ya see people see that there is very little they can do in a corrupt system that favors nepotism and cartel behavior.
I totally understand this guy I lived in the UK for 20 years but then move to Dubai, Barbados,Doha and other countries.. I’m not Britis by birth ( only naturalised Brit) but I miss British pubs, supermarkets, online shopping etc .. I lived in the USA as well long time ago and I understand the bar culture there.. I was a head bartender as well but long long time ago.. I wish luck to this guy but I would still like to have a little bit more life when you are young and perhaps move to Balkans when you are old for that “ safety net and belonging feeling” Good luck 🍀
Yeah, I agree with a lot of what you're saying totally especially with young kids growing up, it's too bad. The states are so effed up. In the US society is going down the toilet. I'm sure you've missed some of the luxuries in the US, but in the scheme of all things you're doing the right thing with your daughters and wife there! Now, if you would get on the horn and really learn the Serbian language, you would just be 1 million times better, good luck to you and your family and enjoy Serbia,
I agree about sitting at the bar - people in the whole Southern Europe sit with their mates around a table. That does not make it easy to meet new people spontaneously. The bar counter should be considered a great American contribution to mankind.

Growing up in Belgrade - I really though the thing about pregnant women skipping the line/queue, or even dad with a baby/toddler entering a bus/tram and someone offering them a seat - was a universal norm everywhere. After moving to Amsterdam - I learned it's not. Also a bit sad to hear stories about kids/people in Serbia starting to adopt that part of western culture (or it's side effect of staring at phone screen, headphones on/in ears). Luckily there's enough older folks to "nudge" them. If not bus/tram driver refusing to move until someone gives up their seat.

I live in Belgrade and I don't know absolutely anyone whose relatives or inlaws can come into their home just like that. With mobile phones today even the children and parents call before they pop in. Only the families that have preserved a very traditional way of life do that, though it sounds weird and indecent in big cities. I would never ever go to my son's or my daughter's house without prior calling. Why and how should I? It's entirely out of the question.
Bro, learn the lingo, and life would be for an additional 50% easier (smoth gliding). Especially at the time when you are making deals for work to be done in or around the house. Cheers.

I live across the ocean for 20 years now, and i don't agree with you about social life and sports entirely. It's easier to make friends and socialize in Serbia for sure. In big cities like New York, San F. LA, you barely know your neighbor, they rarely say hello.
I am glad that you like my country.. As Serbian I give objective opinion about my state. Big majority of Serbian cities are ugly, except Vojvodina towns. Communist architecture, unplanned and unfinished houses, bad infrastructure, garbage... Nature is dissent. We have a lot of historic cities from different periods, prehistory, Roman empire, medieval, Ottoman empire... Nature is dissent. Economy is bad, big majority of people working for 600 euros. Institutions are corrupt and chaotic, human rights and freedom are on very low level. Serbian is very safe country, their is no dangers areas. About mentality, it's third world country. You can buy anything in Serbia from college degree to land and people. Majority people work for 600 euros I have to say that people here thinks it's a poor, underdeveloped third world country and plan to immigrate to the West.Because of it we have high emigration rate, every year 50 000 people left the country

@@DejanTrev39 The entire Balkan cultures are about many small national identities BUT that doas not mean USA citizens dont have it. They just dont have many small ones therefore Balkan conflicts. Now identities i speak about are about individualism and gender. This is much more traditional and pretty much plain identity of family life and role. Of course speaking in comparison to USA or western Europe. Now diversity. What i had in mind is literal melting pot of thousands of years cultures that were crossing the Balkan peninsula. You can see this in ethnic diversity as well as simple culture of food, clothing, way of life overall. Serbia is on the crossroads of so called "global north and global south". You can find people who admire western way of life, but also you see people enjoying the slow and mediteranian style of living. There are nationalist movements, political, archeological, music, not to even start about ideologies...there are plenty ... therefore again conflicts in the region ...etc etc... Its one of the most diverse regions on the planet.
Serbia's quite possibly the most diverse country in Europe. This is what having a US salary while living in Serbia, a country ruined by US imperialism, brings. Other ethnicities aren't our enemy. All our enemies look exactly like us.
You say that in America the teachers can not hug the kids, fair enough, but they can take 9 year old kid or a little bit older and without kid's parents knowing, fill them up with hormons which are opposite of kid's sex, testosterones or progesterons. Interesting and very cruel. God help those kids. Otherwise I wish you good health and your family and for knowledge sake start learning Serbian language. Every day new 3 words and soon you will know how to talk in Serbian.
And in Serbia you allow kids to wield explosives during holidays that can irreversibly destroy their limbs, drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes, go gambling, and disrespect educated people because they didnt gift you a high grade, but suuure, transness is the biggest and most pressing issue to be brought up. 🙄 Will somebody please selectively think about the children!😭🙏

Well, this guy like the environment for his children, and he would come back in the USA this very minute. He is not like the others from this serial, he misses a lot from the States, and I can't see why he is in Serbia. He sees only few advantages of being here. If he likes bars, Kansas Chiefs, the American dream so much, Amazon, he should go back to the States.
So if I understand, Alex is in his mid to late 30's, proudly living with his family in his in-laws house (a distinct Kaludjerica style?), working remotely for a US company during afternoons and evenings for the last five years. After these five years he barely speaks any Serbian and, besides the people who live in the house, hardly knows anyone else. Given this level of cultural immersion, I am a bit puzzled how he can actually make any sensible comparisons between two countries and cultures. Alex mentioned that he was born in suburban US and spent some time living in NYC. Given his natural curiosity, I wonder if he actually spent some quality time in NYC parks to find out that they are full of children and families doing picnics, birthday parties and playing games. Granted, each culture has its ups and downs, but I am not sure why would Alex be a good candidate to make this comparison.
If you earn a foreign salary, living in Serbia might be manageable-you can afford to create a bubble with private education and healthcare. But for those of us Serbs who live and work here, it's a different story-it's a living hell.

Lived 9 years in Serbia as a Brit - absolutely 10000% agree with everything said in this video. Love Serbia, always will.
My Canadian born cousin married a Serb and 3 children later they decided to try living in Serbia near his large extended family. It began as a 2 year experiment … it’s been about 16 years now and they’re definitely not going back to Canada.

Born and lived in France for 39 years (plus 8 in serbia from 2 to 10), back in 2020 just at covid start, goes once in 1-2 years to see my French house, literally 😅 quality of life and security in Serbia, compared to France is uncomparable, and I'm far from Belgrade... Small village with increduble view, my own cinema of 85 m2, pizza hoven, 6 huge teraces on 4 levels, 1850 m2 in total space, 450 m2 underground with pool... External pool next year... In France for this I'll need to be multi milionair 😂 here all this for 700K maybe less... Near Paris for this price it will be 300-350 m2 with no view and certainly not this quality and gardens... So Serbia is really a great country for living.
Maybe that shit is because highly educated and highly skilled of us can dream about 700k savings in Serbia. If you are not in some IT shit and majority of population are not computer nerds.
I am doig a job that my german colleague is doing. We have same prices and standards of living. Moreor less I have everything average german have maybe even more. I earn 1700/month. My german friend earns 4200. same fucking job in same fucking industry. Fuck.

In WWI we lost 60% of male population so every kid born after that was praised like a little god. Everyone take care of everyone kids. That is why we love kids so much.
There is one interesting thing about Serbia.( I don't know if that's the case in the rest of the Balkans). Our boomers (my parents) used to call our little boys "ćeri", meaning douther, like they wanted to tell us that we were as much loved as them, even more, and they used to call their little girls "sine", meaning son, as they wanted to say that they were as valuable as the sons.
@@GoranJovanovic-fr1ig lol even today some ppl call their doughters (sine) or sons (ćero). We even have old song caled: ti si ćero, tatin sin (doughter u are fathers son) rough translation. Sorry for bad english
@@GoranJovanovic-fr1igIt's true what you say. I remember from my childhood the feeling I had when an elderly person calls you (sine), son. This works very positively, respectfully and gives you the feeling that he loves you as much as his own son. When you are older and someone says this to you, it means that they are letting you know that you are younger and it acts as a kind of advice, sometimes also a reminder that you are still inexperienced and that it is better to listen to the elders.
@@markomilojevic9049What you are talking about are "Virdžine", these are girls who took on the role of a son because there were no male descendants in the family, this was an old custom in Montenegro and elsewhere, but it stayed in Montenegro the longest.

summa summarum: Life in Serbia is great if you have an US salary...who would have thought...
You can succeed in Serbia as well as you can in the US, it just depends on your skills and talent. Maybe you won't make as much money as you would in the US, but you don't even need that much money for Serbia, because here you can do more with less money, for which you would need a fortune if you wanted to create the same in the US.
some things we don't measure with money, nobody will come to your home and kill your kids or harm you to rob you....freedom is the most important in your life
At this point Serbia has way more opportunity than states any business you wanna start? It’s 10 times less., maybe you’re not gonna make the same money like in the states but you’re not gonna have a stress and overheads like in the states.And most important is time .Time to spend with your kids, family, and friends money cannot buy those things.In US you’ll make more money- maybe-but the more you make the last time you have , more overhead and always thinking you need more and more and more and you forget to enjoy in simple things, and your joy goes to all artificial things.

Wonderful video, glad you like it here, I relate to Alex in many aspects, I'm an ex bartender, I live here all my life and work for the company in the US now.
I gotta address one thing here that really rubbed me the wrong way, "Even with the girls it's temporary, but at some point you kinda expect them to go off and do their own thing."
Here, if you really care about your family, you're always expected to have a place for them in your home.
If you don't, you may try for example building a second floor on the house, helping your kids buy their first property or coming to a solution that's not something along the lines of "you're 18/25/30 yr old, you're on your own now buddy"
Most people rent only when it's necessary
But you're also obliged to take care of your parents and grandparents or finding someone to hire to take care of them (retirement homes are unpopular here)
That's why nobody ends up homeless because of a large medical bill or something similar
You may have to set boundaries for your extended family (familija) but you're always a family with your ancestors and descendants (porodica)
Well funny thing I am a Serb in US and I keep watching this videos haha I am really close to take my family back home . US is not what it used to be , and I definitely miss family and healthy environment for children.

So happy to watch you and listen your experience living in Belgrade , having family , enjoying life owe there. Yes I was born there and loved any day been in Yugoslavia place well known for loving the young population and caring for children . Love and hugs to children was not offensive for us but expressing love which they once grew up will pass too they children. Such beautiful to say . Love how you are mentioned in good way differences in between children life and development in America and Serbia which once was part of Yugoslavia. Yes there were free and secure life for all and specially for children, then respect for those people needed more attention when goes to doctors or in public transport . In Belgrade and other places of the Yugoslavia that was common filling.
Love your presentation.
Thanks for and wishing you family best of health and love.
you need to organize something where all these people from your videos meet each other and share experiences with each other
Serbian people and culture are exceptional, too bad we can't say the same for our atrocious economy... It's nice to see a foreigner who unlike most of us, isn't blinded by financial struggles, it helps to remind us that there's much to be happy about, money aside.
Serbia's economy, weak as it might seem, is by far the strongest of all post-Yugoslavia states. Just look at the IMF figures (available online) for their respective GDPs and their rates of indebtedness. Serbia has the least foreign debt and the highest GDP.
@@vaska1999that might be so but being a Serb that lives in Australia I can tell you every single one of of my family members is educated and making low wages. It doesn’t make any sense to me. They spend years in university & they have wages that they can barely get through the month with. It’s shocking

Well there you have it Folks, the American dream is now migrated to Serbia, that explains why everyone moving over there, the French, Russians and the Canadians too
I live in USA 30 years comes from Bosnia,Serbia or Balkan is Disneyland for USA ,everything is much better,sun nobody’s stay in USA,this country days,till New Years I back to home,maybe Bosnia or Croatia
I am from Belgrade but live in Canada in beautiful Vancouver , British Columbia. It was interesting hearing a westerner speaking how is life for him in balkan country. I must admit , it took me many years to get used to western culture. There are many things i like here but there are many things i miss here from my country. I admire u for living in Serbia as an American, i would find it nearly impossible.
But , while we are young we can handle the differences, but , be aware , as the older age comes, because that is when we all want to go back where we came from. Life is not perfect no matter where we live, so enjoy what you can even in Belgrade, there are much worse places on this planet.
C*nada is a joke of a country right now.
I think the guy is just smart and knows what’s important in life. Not many Americans think this way.
tired of that stupid comments "life is great in Belgrade with US salary". Tight with money doesn't mean unhappy. money doesn't equal to happiness.
Spoken like someone who never lived with a Serbian salary and dealt with Serbian bureaucracy. There is a reason why there is a massive brain drain in the country. If was all sunshines and rainbows, then they wouldnt be leaving, but ya see people see that there is very little they can do in a corrupt system that favors nepotism and cartel behavior.
Partially does.If I get to work 5hr a week and make living wage of someone who makes I in a month is happiness, less work more play.😂❤
Yes but it can pay the rent 😂 which most Serbian salaries can't do anymore in Belgrade
@heatherl6107 new generation yes,old generation hardly so,but the difference is most ppl own their homes.
No money is not always happiness but it makes life easier.
I totally understand this guy
I lived in the UK for 20 years but then move to Dubai, Barbados,Doha and other countries.. I’m not Britis by birth ( only naturalised Brit) but I miss British pubs, supermarkets, online shopping etc ..
I lived in the USA as well long time ago and I understand the bar culture there.. I was a head bartender as well but long long time ago..
I wish luck to this guy but I would still like to have a little bit more life when you are young and perhaps move to Balkans when you are old for that “ safety net and belonging feeling”
Good luck 🍀

Yeah, I agree with a lot of what you're saying totally especially with young kids growing up, it's too bad. The states are so effed up. In the US society is going down the toilet. I'm sure you've missed some of the luxuries in the US, but in the scheme of all things you're doing the right thing with your daughters and wife there! Now, if you would get on the horn and really learn the Serbian language, you would just be 1 million times better, good luck to you and your family and enjoy Serbia,

How do you like the air pollution in the colder half of the year?
I don't live in either country but NYC seemed daunting when I passed it on the highway and I would be too scared to live in the USA. lol
I agree about sitting at the bar - people in the whole Southern Europe sit with their mates around a table. That does not make it easy to meet new people spontaneously. The bar counter should be considered a great American contribution to mankind.

Luckily there's enough older folks to "nudge" them. If not bus/tram driver refusing to move until someone gives up their seat.

I live in Belgrade and I don't know absolutely anyone whose relatives or inlaws can come into their home just like that. With mobile phones today even the children and parents call before they pop in. Only the families that have preserved a very traditional way of life do that, though it sounds weird and indecent in big cities.
I would never ever go to my son's or my daughter's house without prior calling. Why and how should I? It's entirely out of the question.
Did not he manage to learn Serbianbfor over thr years? I know a lot of Americans who learnt Polish in a great way.

"What do you miss the most ?" "Bars..."... that says it all...
I live across the ocean for 20 years now, and i don't agree with you about social life and sports entirely. It's easier to make friends and socialize in Serbia for sure. In big cities like New York, San F. LA, you barely know your neighbor, they rarely say hello.
I am glad that you like my country.. As Serbian I give objective opinion about my state. Big majority of Serbian cities are ugly, except Vojvodina towns. Communist architecture, unplanned and unfinished houses, bad infrastructure, garbage... Nature is dissent. We have a lot of historic cities from different periods, prehistory, Roman empire, medieval, Ottoman empire... Nature is dissent. Economy is bad, big majority of people working for 600 euros. Institutions are corrupt and chaotic, human rights and freedom are on very low level. Serbian is very safe country, their is no dangers areas. About mentality, it's third world country. You can buy anything in Serbia from college degree to land and people. Majority people work for 600 euros I have to say that people here thinks it's a poor, underdeveloped third world country and plan to immigrate to the West.Because of it we have high emigration rate, every year 50 000 people left the country

Serbia isn't a safe country. So many murderers happening everywhere. It's only safe in your imagination.
slazem se sta kazes o Srbiji da postoje problemi, ali kao sto vidis i sam, ljudi koji su ziveli na zapadu ipak ne zele da zive tamo, vec u Srbiji, sto znaci da ni taj zapad nije savrsen. na tvom mestu, ne bih napustala Srbiju.

Americki San je da kupis ambar kucu od sperploce, sedis sam za sankom u baru i da narucujes robu sa Amazona.
To je banalizovano, kao sto je srpski san takodje banalizovan da kupis 2 stana, dajes ih u rentu dok sedis u kaficu ceo dan i pijes espresso. Oba sna se fokusiraju na uspeh, koliko god zeleo da ih banalizujes...
@@Dotalol123 А шта је амерички сан не банализовано?
@@pointgreece4331 Isto kao i srpski, da uspes u zivotu. On nije vezan za Americku naciju, vec za njihovu istoriju gde tamo odes i napravis nesto iz nicega, kao sto su mnogi nasi tamo uradili pa se vratili ovde sa kapitalom, Srbi u Cikagu na primer drze logistiku za prevoz kamiona, dosli su tamo kao prosti vozaci da bi posle otvarali svoje firme i vukli nase ljude da rade tamo, danas nas tu oko milion na primer...
žalostno, ali pazi ako je to tvoj deo svakadašnjice duže vremena i to će ti nedostajati 😅
@@Dotalol123 Americka nacija ne postoji. A srpski san u Americi treba da bude povratak u Srbiju a ne gomilanje kamiona.
18:22 Every house here as a chimney cause "you never know when you will need it" and its easy to build.
The US has plenty of overhead lines too that west Europeans mock them for it. Yet Americans won't do tt earthing despite the bigger risks of neutral line failure, while we require it for years now.
Talking about that other side of New York, i have to recommend the last episode on Peter Santanello's channel.
People outside of the NY probably don't have an idea what else NY have to offer. It's interesting.

Zaista nije potrebno da predstavljate jednu propalu i unistenu drzavu kao obecanu zemlju. Znamo mi koji ovde zivimo vrlo dobro kakav je zivot u Srbiji
izgleda ne razumes poentu. Jeste da problem u nasoj drzavi postoji, ali covek je ziveo na zapadu a i u srbiji, pa moze bolje da proceni jer ima mogucnost da uporedi. Kao sto i sam vidis, ostali komentari su slicni, ljudi koji poznaju oba stila zivota u vecini slucajeva kazu da je ipak bolji zivot u Srbiji.
To je potpuna vulgarizacija poimanja stvarnosti zivota u Srbiji. Ne znam odakle vam ideja uopste da poredite neporedive stvari. Ovde nisu bitne pare sto se tice kvaliteta zivota. U proceni kvaliteta zivota ucestvuju mnogi parametri. Mislim da primecujete da Srbija ima urusene i nepostojece institucije. Gradjani imaju pogrdan sistem vrednosti a to je uglavnom nasilnicki model ponasanja. Primitivizam vec na sve strane. Ratnicki mentalitet. O javnom diskursu da ne pricamo. Koje vrednosti se promovisu? Sta se desava? Onda je verovatno kreator ovog videa mislio na sistem neodgovornosti i nekaznjivosti pa je pomislio uhu ovo je sloboda. Aaa, ne. To nije sloboda. Samo dobro organizovana drustva mogu da kazu da su slobodna dragi moji...
You're the king for your in-laws because you are a man, it's different for women. As a women you are never gonna be good for your mother in law in Serbia 😅
And yes, we all grow up on the street in Serbia 😊 God forbidden if someone touches your kids the whole neighborhood would get up and kick the heck out of them. Yes, we are very protective of our children, and we are proud of it ❤😊

That's so awesome... I am in relationships with American man, about 12 years.. And it's always something that stops him to just come to Serbia, in my town, Novi Sad.. That's so sad me... Specially when see other people, like this man, and so many examples..his work, money, etc...
Nadji Srbina, Grka, Italijana…
You've been in a relationship with this man for 12 years and you're still not married? And he always has an excuse for not coming to visit Serbia with you? That really doesn't sound good. 😢 There are better guys out there, Ivana.
This is what non-divesity brings. The woke and globalists hate this.
Its one of the most diverse parts of the world all right, just not in that sense. Its about culture things and not identity.
@@salonez91 wrong,it's not diverse and it's about identity.
@@DejanTrev39 The entire Balkan cultures are about many small national identities BUT that doas not mean USA citizens dont have it. They just dont have many small ones therefore Balkan conflicts. Now identities i speak about are about individualism and gender. This is much more traditional and pretty much plain identity of family life and role. Of course speaking in comparison to USA or western Europe. Now diversity. What i had in mind is literal melting pot of thousands of years cultures that were crossing the Balkan peninsula. You can see this in ethnic diversity as well as simple culture of food, clothing, way of life overall. Serbia is on the crossroads of so called "global north and global south". You can find people who admire western way of life, but also you see people enjoying the slow and mediteranian style of living. There are nationalist movements, political, archeological, music, not to even start about ideologies...there are plenty ... therefore again conflicts in the region ...etc etc... Its one of the most diverse regions on the planet.
Serbia's quite possibly the most diverse country in Europe. This is what having a US salary while living in Serbia, a country ruined by US imperialism, brings. Other ethnicities aren't our enemy. All our enemies look exactly like us.
@@paulussturm6572 Nope.
he lives literally few houses beside me :)
Actualy, its a "Serbian Dream" 😂👍

You say that in America the teachers can not hug the kids, fair enough, but they can take 9 year old kid or a little bit older and without kid's parents knowing, fill them up with hormons which are opposite of kid's sex, testosterones or progesterons. Interesting and very cruel. God help those kids. Otherwise I wish you good health and your family and for knowledge sake start learning Serbian language. Every day new 3 words and soon you will know how to talk in Serbian.
And in Serbia you allow kids to wield explosives during holidays that can irreversibly destroy their limbs, drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes, go gambling, and disrespect educated people because they didnt gift you a high grade, but suuure, transness is the biggest and most pressing issue to be brought up. 🙄 Will somebody please selectively think about the children!😭🙏
@@azzyb7738 go to Internet and find the parents who take the criminal actions against the schools who make psychological damage to their kids, I am not lying
I thought only Russians hooligans join the Serbian army, never thought Americans would do that, knowing the Serbian attitude towards the Americans.

Well, this guy like the environment for his children, and he would come back in the USA this very minute. He is not like the others from this serial, he misses a lot from the States, and I can't see why he is in Serbia. He sees only few advantages of being here. If he likes bars, Kansas Chiefs, the American dream so much, Amazon, he should go back to the States.
Dobro ti nama došao
E kako si rekao dobro Američki san je živeti part time u Srbiji.. upravo je to ono sto želim.. hahaha Bar totalno američki 😊.. ja ih ne volim..
So if I understand, Alex is in his mid to late 30's, proudly living with his family in his in-laws house (a distinct Kaludjerica style?), working remotely for a US company during afternoons and evenings for the last five years. After these five years he barely speaks any Serbian and, besides the people who live in the house, hardly knows anyone else. Given this level of cultural immersion, I am a bit puzzled how he can actually make any sensible comparisons between two countries and cultures.
Alex mentioned that he was born in suburban US and spent some time living in NYC. Given his natural curiosity, I wonder if he actually spent some quality time in NYC parks to find out that they are full of children and families doing picnics, birthday parties and playing games.
Granted, each culture has its ups and downs, but I am not sure why would Alex be a good candidate to make this comparison.
If you earn a foreign salary, living in Serbia might be manageable-you can afford to create a bubble with private education and healthcare. But for those of us Serbs who live and work here, it's a different story-it's a living hell.
Zasto ondak svi trce u Americi da zive

@@djd6336 Jbg, ne vidim baš nešto da se vraća nazad ta srpska dijaspora iz Amerike. Očito da nije samo u pitanju zarada. Stvorili su svoje živote tamo, ovde se samo vraćaju zbog ostatka rodbine, zbog svojih sezonskih vikendica, ili pred sahranom.
