- This video is my first about why I left Canada for Serbia. My content will be fun and not just me talking to you, but I felt I needed to explain myself because of all the questions we get!!
Many people have the wrong idea about Serbia. I was one of those people prior to meeting the man of my dreams. It is funny how life changes, and you end up somewhere in the world you would have never imagined, and I could not be happier.
With all moves comes headaches and issues, but it is how you handle it which dictates your success.
Good decision. Serbia is such a beautiful country. To all my fellow Serbs out there; I love you.❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welcome to Serbia, just remember one thing: if you ANY problem, ask everyone to help you, 99% will at least try or ask someone else they know. This is the way to live in Balkans, be positive and connected to many people. We love to solve other people problems and feel good doing it.
I agree on that! We are more commited on solving other people problems than our own!
жива истина
being an outsider, i quickly realised, contacts is the way to survive in Serbia....it is the ppl you know and who you know 🙂
We love to solve other people problems and feel good doing it. Remember Srebrenica.
@@petertraudes106 Ye we remember kravice and other serb populated vilages around srebrenica. Which brings us to message of the story, don't provoke us...
My wife is romanian and I can tell serbs are sympathised and admired by romanians. You made a good choice.
I have moved from UK to Bulgaria next door to you for many of the same reasons, I didn't recognise England any longer..... I traveled most of Europe and knew within 24 hours this was my soul home, no BS no PC, good community, and could have chosen Serbia also, thanks for sharing
I live in Serbia. My car stopped midway through a crossroad. 2 cars pulled over, both drivers came out, pushed my car to the sidewalk and asked me what the problem is. I said it probably needs a push. All other cars behind these two cars patiently waited with no honking or anything. So the guys from the first two cars who came out to see what's going on pushed it back on the road, started pushing the car and I managed to start it. I honked at them as I was leaving, rolled the window and gave them a wave without watching them (eyes on the road). I didn't even know who they were, I was in another city, but that's the way it works here.
I am from Austria and met my wife in Serbia. I married there. The people here are very nice, and the streets are very safe even for women in the night.
Not like in Vienna, where it is very dangerous for a woman.
yes, i love that!! You can go walking at night and it's so safe
😀
Left Canada 3 weeks before lockdown in 2020 because something inside of me told me I needed to get out! I never imagined that after almost 3 years I would not have returned! Canada has completely lost its’ way and I am disgusted by what I have seen develop over there! Good luck on your new life!
Dear Truthseeker, having been born and raised in Canada I can only say, sadly, that you certainly spared yourself undue anguish, as the country sinks into a morass of official corruption and moral turpitude under what is marketed as leadership of justin trudeau and his equally corrupt, feckless fake-left cohorts in the ndp and green parties. To subject a whole country to a massive corporate-sponsored experimentt, coupled with a mass-brainwashing operation - all subsidized with our tax dollars, is DIGUSTiNG; to add injury to insult, now the already hopelessly corrupt and criminal so called medical system is encourgaing people to submit to outright murder af the hands of these charlatans masquerading as health care professionals
The school sustem is roddled with absolute official corruption in Canada - the teachers' and nurses' unions pension funds are totally invested in big pharma so there are very serious vested interests at play, involving the rendering of children's minds to mush permanently through drug pushing - the promo of ritalin- is absolutely perverse and sick and the society tolerates that!!! This is our sham democracy - try to fight it, and you will find some bureaucracy - some so called professional order or the other, threatening you with an expensive, harassing lawsuit, or being subject to other official harassment.
Then, there is criticism of "young people" - big pharma get its profits, financed by the general public while the children are the cat's paw.
When I was in school, we knew who the deug pushers were, and they were generally avoided.
Now, the pushers are the teachers and school nurses, with social workers ready to kidnap the children theough an arcane juridical proceeding of which the oarents would not even know until after the corrupted courtnwill have ruled against them - and that sword of damoclese is always hovering above the heads of caring parents who object to the McDiagnosis of adhd or other McDiagnoses spewed forth by the corrupted so called professionals - the bought and paid for paychologists, psychiatrists, directors of "youth centres" - the seized children - all of whom get generous cash incentives for this revolving doir, now more ominous as they can be goven lethal injection as an "option"
I apologize for the spelling errors, it s difficult for me to type from my mobile phone.
Incidentally, the small glimpses I got of both, Georgia and Russia in 2003, were exactly what you described of Serbia and the Servian people
Australia is the same
Wow! That's my story. I got here (from AU) 10 days before Covid started and have stayed here ever since. I can't believe other people have done that. I thought I was the only one.
Serbian here from Toronto. I agree 100% with you. You will have a blast.
Omg bruttaly honest video!
Welcome to beautiful Serbia! Serbia has its pluses and minuses. I moved here 12 years ago, but I am of Serbian descent and my husband was born in Serbia. Many people have come following COVID because Serbia is a place where people are just naturally seeking freedom of thought, speech and life. You can't keep a good Serb down or locked up! Even after 10 years here, I still haven't seen or done half of what I wanted to! Although the group dynamic can be challenging Serbian people are open, warm and helpful. Try sending your 5th grader to buy a loaf bread in the US or Canada. It really helps to learn the language. It took me a year to be comfortable but now I am very fluent and read and write in cyrillic!
There was a Canadian guy who moved to Serbia, Belgrade, and he said on a UA-cam channel that coming to Serbia was like waking up from a coma. 😉😉
I think for most Canadians coming to Serbia is like going to planet Mars, totally different, but in a good way.
I had a good friend from Belgrade visiting me in Denmark, where I live, the first thing he asked like 20:00 in the evening, where is all people, I don't even see a cat or dog outside, and no movements inside houses either.
For him it was like coming to Twilight Zone.
Belgrade Beat YT channel guy. I think he moved there for the fly bitches and the cheap beer. Then he goes to Thailand during winter. Allegedly has some kind of makeshift software company there but not sure it's a real thing. There's lots of Canadians and Americans with generational wealth. Lots of Canadians live here in the US illegally. What they do is they inherited a condo or a house and rent it out and make good money 'cause rent is crazy expensive there and then they move to the US but they can't get legal here unless they get married so more often than not they end up stuck here. They like it here because it's warmer. Canada, for the most part inaccessible, it's all giant trees, rocks, cliffs, untouched by civilization, grizzly bears and mountain lions that want to eat you, looong harsh winters and everyone lives in just a few populated cities along the US border. That's it. And honestly it was the best country in the world for many decades. 80's being perhaps the best decade but then recently it all went down the toilet. They have a effeminate man-child for president. Everything just seems off in Avery bad way. Same over here.
Im Serbian from Bosnia who have lived in Sweden past 30 years. Pretty much my whole life. Still when ever I visit the balkans be it bosnia or serbia I recharge my batteries and always feel depressed when coming back. Sweden is a nice country but it is depressing as most western europe tbh.
What the us did to serbia in the 90s seems really low
@@rrocketman The US sadly like more to support muslim nations then christians but I wonder why when they pretend to be christians.
Oh well, unfortunately, we like to be unhealthy social sometimes it's so irritating. I wish we live in peace and quite. Without people on the street.
Welcome to Serbia, we will do our best to keep Serbia a free country ♥️♥️♥️
After 5 yrs living in Canada, I just came back to my home country, Brazil, and I have no regrets.
Good riddance
Thanks for going back !
Bravo!
Home sweet home🙂🙂
Brazil will be Canada soon.
Hey, I do envy you! I'm still in Canada, but born in Belgrade. Coming back soon and totally agree as our country is amazing and underestimated. Most of young people speak English, good job. Wish you to be happy and healthy in my country!
Враћај се сестро, полудео онај Јустин Трудо...
I am moving (back) to Serbia from Australia. You are on the money regarding the BS covid response. There is stil work to be done in Serbia, but at least it was the first country in the world to have protests and overthrow the lockdowns.
Very well said. I couldn't agree more!
I'm living in Serbia (from Australia). My parents emigrated in the sixties. Where in AU are you? Where will you be going? Belgrade? I'm up north in Vojvodina
Your impression is very realistic and it shows the soul of Serbian people, straight, hospitable and ready to help stranger in any situation.
I’m Serbian living in Canada for last 32 yrs. Welcome to Serbia and enjoy.
Why are you in Canada and not in Serbia?
I can relate to your story so much. I left US for similar reasons. Good luck in Serbia! Love the people there.
In Serbia racism is not the thing. There's things people do like or dislike, but I always say that we have personal freedom more than anywhere else. Welcome to Serbia
If you ever think about racism in Serbia here is a historical fact for you.
Serbia was the first country in Europe that banned slavery in consitution from 1835. One of the oldest democratic constitutions in Europe written by Dimitrije Davidović, it is called Sretenjski ustav or on old serbian "Уставъ Княжества Сербїе".
Article 118. banned slavery, stating that a slave, regardless of whether he came alone or with someone, upon entering the soil of Serbia becomes a free man.
While in Belgium they had zoo's for black people, in Serbia they could get a college degre. Now same Belgians call us as "savagers"...
Is this why everytime Serbia play sport against a country they throw Bananas at balck players beacuse they are not a racist country. Mos racist country in Ballans by far.
@@BH-official And what majority of people have to do with minority of ultra-fans (that are mostly criminals)?
I gave her historical facts from constitution of Serbia from 19. century while West Europe slaughtered African tribes and had zoo's for black people. Now they are "civilized"...
Why so much hate towards Serbia from you? Are you Croat or Albanian, or maybe Turk?! 🤣
@@BH-official You just need some professional help, God, whatever. I can't help you.
@@simargl614 Wow, thats quite a few countries you named there. To answer your question I'm Australian.
Thank you for coming into our beautiful country! You are so so welcome! ❤❤❤
Welcome home! Wish you all the best and reach out if you need anything. I came back (also with family) after 15 years living in EU.
I love the way you described the life in Serbia....Of course, there are some minuses, especially if your life is supported by average Serbian salary...If it is not the case, Serbia can be really cool place for living.
Moving to Serbia from UK... No regrets
Greetings from Canada. I agree with everything you say about what's going on in Canada. I too will be leaving Canada within the next 2 years. I've been to many different countries and haven't decided which country as of yet but I will be leaving without question.
Sad reality for so many of us!
WELCOME TOSERBIA , I WISH U ALL THE BEST HERE AND HAPPY NEW BEGINING :) IF U NEED ANYTHING JUST SAY , PPL WILL HELP 100% , WE ARE HERE FOR U :)
I have a funny story about the small talk. A few years ago, a couple of us from Serbia started working for a small US company as software developers. There was this guy from the US who would ask everyone how they were doing after joining a meeting. So a coworker would often say something like, "I'm a little bit tired today" and such. Eventually the guy from the US told him that was just a rhetorical question and that he was not actually supposed to say how he was doing :D :D I really don't like it when people ask that question and don't really care. Buy yeah, Serbia is not a terrible place to live if you work for a foreign company and don't follow politics/never watch TV.
I moved to Belgrade last year as well, and I just love Serbs !!! I feel what you're saying 100% :)
The only disadvantage of Serbia - it is rather poor country (outside Belgrade and Novi Sad the cities look sadly) and there's A LOT OF GARBAGE EVERYWHERE. I hope we can fix this somehow and make Serbia even greater!! ❤❤❤
Exactly, That is the one of the 3 things that makes me angry . The other two is people are used to lie a lot, and the system is corrupted. Other than that this is the place I can call home.
❤️
@@Trixy-3xy people lie a lot?
Welcome to Serbia, nice to have you here :)
So happy for you!! Can’t wait to hear all about your journey. ♥️
Welcome! There's no ''perfect'' single country in the world, but I hope you will enjoy life here, and little by little change your life to better. Serbia is also not perfect, but we are still '''new oasis'' and different. Feel free to ask for advice. Keep on with videos. Cheers
I am english...married to a Serb...living in Serbia. I agree with a lot of what you say...my children were here from 10 years old...initially difficult...had Serbian lessons...then loved it here....made lifelong great friends ( people have school re-unions for ever which is lovely).....best place for children. Abrupt is ok it is honest...dont agree about tipping thing though....they are mostly not well paid and everyone tips. But yes a very big hearted and friendly country....people make time for each other and are very kind in general. Much safer and more wholesome for children definately. I have lived here for 14 years and love it.....the Serbs have a difficult time often economically but their wealth is in their character, family values, kindness and sense of humour....also I prefer the more genuine reactions here to often what can be fake english politeness ( not always though...lots of nice english people too)... but generally speaking...
That's awesome and thank you 😊 for your support.
I am an immigrant in Canada...I did not come to this beautiful country to make money, I came here for a better and safer life......now I feel , Canada, in spite of being a beautiful country is not for me. It's so so so difficult for any non-white immigrants to be part of the mainstream society....Canada is not the only country I moved in, I lived in several different countries before moving to Canada....now I am just waiting to move back to a "thrid world" country where I can make friends, talk to people, connect with peoole, enjoy a low cost living, won't need to give my entire life just fotr retirement savings and live a simple and minimalist life. Though I have no regrets of living in Canada...it's another experience of my life.
My friend, you have described life in Canada so well! I would just correct you about one thing - there is no such a thing as a "mainstream society" in Canada for anybody, including those born here as well as "white" immigrants. The only exception are young people during the school time. They naturally tend to form friendships, which may or may not last. Majority of people who immigrated to Canada in last ~20 years feel exactly like you do.
You need o move to vermont
I hope you are enjoying Serbia! I'm a Serb living in the U.S. and I agree with your statement about ADHD testing. Probably half of the school age kids in the US are on drugs. They are numbing and drugging them just because they are perceived as overly active. It has nothing to do with their ability to learn. Most of these kids are very intelligent and fast learners. The school wants robots sitting at the desks! I'm really considering moving to Serbia at some point. Love your videos. Keep posting them! Edited: please do a video on how your kids are adjusting to new life!!!! We have younger kids as well!
So proud of you guys and sooooo glad to watch your journey ❤
Why?
Be aware that sometimes when we are nervous because of something we can lash it out by rude talk, but don't worry, that just ends up like that. :) Welcome!
We made the exact same move recently… From TO to NS. However, both my husband and I are Serbian. Our children were born in Canada, their Serbian is not great, especially the younger one.
It’s important to note that if you come here with money, you earned in Canada, you can have a nice life here.
Generally, there are many people who struggle here, financially, and with that come other challenges.
The way I see it - there are pros and cons to both countries. It is way easier to earn a good living in Canada. The air is much cleaner in Canada. Garbage everywhere in Serbia is annoying, to say the least. Huge lack of a good variety of authentic restaurants…. School in Serbia is unnecessarily difficult. Our kids started in private school, but the older one wanted to continue his education in the public system, once it was time for high school (gimnazija). Very difficult. 16 subjects, with very high expectations.
Definitely no fakeness here… and people aren’t easily fooled here. Socially there is always a lot going on! Travel is amazing, because you can drive to many countries or hop on a short flight. But you need money for all that.
Food was much cheaper here a year ago but has gone up significantly in the last year. I would even say a 100% increase.
There are ofc many differences. Many pros and cons. And different people have different experiences. One thing for sure, is that the general public here doesn’t blindly trust the government, and that is always a good thing!
Good luck to everyone who decided to leave their lives behind and start a new chapter somewhere else!
for me, because of my situation , the thing i would appreciate is better air in belgrade. if the goverment ever can raise money, build the economy enuf to raise money it would go a long way to move into solar cars and solar heating or reducing the dependence on coal to heat in the winter. i get people need heat but the quality of life in belgrade would be pretty much unmatched but for the air quality. i notice a significant difference in air quality in pedestrian quarter near kalemegdan and near the river. the air is so much better there. just reducing auto emissions would be huge. i wll probably retire in belgrade. i can't afford to retire in new england where i lve now and the thing i wll mss most is the crisp, perfert air. i guess you can't have everythng
Welcome to Serbia!! Another ex pat here. Moved to Serbia back in July. Feels great. Good luck. If you need any help feel, free to get in touch. All the best.
Regarding your like for Serbia: I'm so happy you found a place you like. You might have a past life connection to there. Or even an ancestor who lived there. I remember how much I liked living in Nashville,, and decades later, I did genealogical research and found an ancestor who lived there. I know all this is woo woo. And it may not be that at all. It may just be that you have an inner affinity to Serbia. Best of luck!
Welcome to Balkan!
The one of the rarest places with common sense.
Thank you for the honest feedback. Hope you and your family find and feel at home here in Serbia.
Thank you We appreciate it 🙏
Don't know if Serbia would be on my list but I can sure sympathize with getting the hell out of Canada. Counting down the days till I can do just that myself.
ty for this inspiring video, as a Slav from another country I'm in the process of moving to Serbia and this is my first ever abroad trip 🙏. I'm so scared that I'd be lost there without any friends, a job or place to live. I'm trying to stay positive but moving abroad and starting from scratch is an absolutely challenging experience
You will not be lost, you will have many friends and you will do just fine
Don't worry my friend, just come!
Welcome, fellow Slav! You will see, we are not that much different from wherever you came from :)
Ty for the warming replies. I'm visiting Novi Sad next week ♥️ Hvala vama!
@@Firzj Hey can you keep us updated how things are going?
Very happy for you and the family 😊
Wow, lady! Right on the money. I was born here but I have Canadian citizenship and have lived there untill 2007. If you are ever coming by Vrnjačka banja, do let me know. We have other Canadians here too.
Welcome to Serbia. Welcome to the land of Orthodox Christianity. Yes, sometimes we know to be too direct and straight forward. We say what's on our mind, without hesitation, no fake smiles and bullshit. Whoever loves family, friendship, slow and fun life without too much money is in the right place. But only smoking and slow administration can be quite a problem. But nothing unsolvable :)
The smoking and administration are definitely different but there are far more pros than cons like you said! Thank you for your warm welcoming! We are Serbian Orthodox Christians baptized in a Monestary in Canada and we are happy to be here!
@@thenixinthemix I'm glad you decided to stay, make yourself at home. And I'm glad you liked here. We are always technologically a little (or not so little :D) behind the west, but who knows, sometimes it can be a good thing ;)
@@aleksandarzigic547 No we are not behind? Why u think that? The western best scientists and cardiologists etc are mostly from Balkans and Serbia, not to mention sports. Some of the greatest minds ever lived were born here and u know that, I do not need to remind you of Tesla, for example.
and to be honest older technology made 30 years ago was and still is quality and can last forever but today tech is designed this way to not last very long on purpose....
@@outlawedTV88 Of course, we do have the best minds, scientists, athletes, warriors, but we didn't have a huge territory and huge population to develop safely. This does not mean that we are bad, but due to historical circumstances, due to the constant struggle for survival, we didn't have time to technologically develop alongside the biggest world powers. And that's all..
i zagadjeni vazduh u Beogradu, u Novom Sadu, i rio tinto koji su kopaju litium (uskoro necemo uzivati u raftingu na Drine....).... naravno volim ja Srbiju, ali boli dupe Cakiju za citavu Srbiju.... tako. Samo ljudi su mnogo-mnogo dobri.
I'm similar to you. Born and raised in Oz. Australia never felt like home. Parents come from former Yugo, Serbia is not one of them though. Went to Serbia re 8 yrs ago and straight away it felt like home. 1st trip there, met my wife. Now moving to Serbia and never ever returning to Oz. It has been 3.5 yrs in the making and I'll get there. The only thing I will say about Serbia is the äir" feels heavy there. Once you get out of the airport, it feels "heavy"....whether it is cos of all the previous wars and blood spilled, no idea, though one quickly adapts and feels normal. And watch out for the scam taxi drivers yet you quickly learn how to figure them out.
Just to let you know ,your kids will not have problems learning the Serbian language and getting an education in Serbia. I took my son to live in Serbia and he didn't know a word of Serbian, but learned the language and got educated.
Welcome home sister!
Thank you!! 🇷🇸
My boyfriend is Serbian 👫🏻
Serbia will be our future home.. 🏡
The language sounds cute and we have many common words..
I wish you good luck 🍀
Much love to Serbia 💐
Thank you so much
Welcome to Serbia! You are lovely! I hope you have wonderful time here! Best of wishes! 💗🍀🌷
Thank you I appreciate your support
Amazing story! ❤
Ohhhh You making me so homesick 🥺😭Can’t wait to visit my homeland hopefully this year 👏🤩 You guys have a fun 🎉
You will love it. You will enjoy it. One thing I can tell you…. You are not going to spend 15+ hours in hospital like here in Canada. I hope I will get back to Serbia soon 🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦🙏
I understand you, Canada is not the Canada i grew up into...
I am in the process of freeing myself, to Dubai or Philippines...
Dubai feels much more free than Canada. In Canada, after having been racially profiled by Montreal police (against whom I won a settlement at Human rights), I still feel some angst when I see the uniformed so called law enforcement - NEVER ONCE felt threatened by ANY Dubai official.
It is safe to walk out anytime of day or night - restaurants and nightclubs are often open24/7, without any harassment either official or non, and people are fun loving yet very respectful and there is order and cleanliness.
Glad you doing you! Glad I clued in way back lol. I soon leave this place too!
Serbia is a like a breath of fresh air if your coming from the U.S. can't wait to visit again.
The food is so varied here that it's almost impossible not to find something you won't like
I am glad that you have found your happiness here. I wish you all best in your new life and welcome to our country. We like to have new friends from foreign countries.
Update about racism: There is not much people from other races in Serbia, but example. My friend is black man with origin from Ghana. Since, black people are rare in Serbia, he was interesting to everyone and many people wanted to be friends with him. We are strong anti-fascist and anti-racist society. We don't accept that.
Pls can you link me up to that your black friend from Ghana. I am from Ghana and I'll be moving to Serbia soonest. I need a friend there
Welcome, we are glad to have you. No country is perfect, but for the most part people here still have that deep human connection. And you will see it as you make new friends.
Listening to you speak , as well as observing your body language , reminds me of my favourite , long lost , younger version of my aunt ! I was born in Novi Sad , living not far from main Post Office and , I like your choice of place to live . I now live in Australia (43 years! ) and miss my town and my Vojvodina.....I'm so glad you understood and accepted all good , or otherwise , of my country , and all that my birth place have to offer ! God bless !!
Thank you for saying such a wonderful things about my country! Welcome!
Hvala Branka
Can relate to some of your videos. We Moved here from Canada as well didn't like how things were unfolding there. Appreciate your videos. Good to know we are not alone here.
Thanks for watching!
Just found this video and your channel, love it! I am from the US and feel the same way and looking at other options to get out and Serbia is one of my top five places to move to!
Welcome to Serbia. I hope you'll have a nice stay.
let me add few things:
- education is free, until PHD
- healthcare is free
- women that go trough birht get one year paid leave
- our prisons are humane
- our police is polite and never plant things
- we have no street gangs
- we have no street violence or crime
- you can walk in shortest miniskirt at every time of night trough every part of the city and be safe
- our guys are polite, our girls are smaret and strong - and, oh my god, so beautiful
- we have 200 clubs, good amount of them work all day
- our food is cheap, our utilities (eletricity, water, heating) is cheap, apartments renting and buying are cheap - and are made from stone, so they last for generations
- most people speak english, and everyone trys to be good host to foreigners
- everyone tends and safeguards our kids
- if you ask for help (bully boyfriend) people will interfere, immidiatly
- we love music, arts, sports - everything that is creative
- we love to sing in clubs and pubs
- live music is everywhere
etc
on my page on faq page last question is "is there anything more to know about Serbia, and here is what I wrote (I am Serb)
We are smart, a pleasant mix of Southern and Eastern Europe
Air draft is a national enemy of Serbia; don't be surprised if no windows are opened in buses.
PPaying bill for friends is considered a privilege and great honor. Never argue with a Serb who said that he/she will pay for your drinks, if you know him. If it is a stranger, do not accept, unless you want a friend that will stick tag along for the rest of the event. :)
Mothers and sisters are loved and utterly respected.
Fast food is everywhere ok to eat.
Our drivers know their cars are stronger then pedestrians, so look when crossing the street.
When cheering and knocking glasses with drinks, look person in the eye - it is the sign of great respect. Not looking the person you are cheering with in the eyes is considered utter disrespect. :)
It is considered normal, meeting new people in clubs when done in a polite way, so make some new friends! :)
Everyone loves football, basketball and Novak Djokovic in Serbia, and gladly talk about them.
Burek (with cheese or meat) is a great breakfast in Serbia, accompanied with cold yogurt. Sold in bakeries, on every step in Belgrade.
Our mothers insist we must eat something with spoon at least four times per week.
We love or hate your neighbors. There is no middle ground.
We don't care about opinion of others.
We don't like to work at all.
We are always late.
We like to laugh, party and drink rakija.
Rakija is Serbian Schnaps made out of (domestic) plum. Watch out, it has a nasty after bite. Also, try Beokocka's FAN Weekend special rakija in the AFOL Lounge.
Serbs are loud. We are a cheerful people who like to celebrate every occasion. And we don’t keep the joy for ourselves and like to spread it and share it. This is one of the reasons why Serbs are so fun to be around.
Serbs are proud about heritage, natural beauty and athletes
Serbs hate the topics of politics and war.
We like food. Be sure to try "kajmak" and "ajvar". Food is amazing, and very cheap.
We DO love to party. And you can choose from club, bar, cafe, pub, splav (pub on water) or kafana (orthodox pub).
Cyrillic (cirilica) is the typical Serbian script, so you might be confused as many of the signs in Serbia are written in it. However, people in Serbia, especially younger people, tend to speak excellent English, so you’ll have no problem finding your way around.
Wow I didn't know all that about Serbia. I am so tired of Canada specially the school system. How's the temperature?
@@Lockingyellow for me it is always little too hot :) I love winter and snow, and heat only by the beach side :) at this very moment (20h) it is 11 Celsius :)
@@Lockingyellow way hotter then CND
Max summer temperature goes to +40'C, min winter -20'C
+35 at summer is considered normal, -10 in winter also
Oduševljena👏👏👏
Inteligentno, sveobuhvatno, duhovito i tačno. Svaka čast.
P.S. A dobro se i ismejah na nekim mestima😂
As a serbian i got mad respect for u
Wellcome. I'm glad only best people come to live in Serbia. You have good, honest heart and soul and will fit great with Serbians.
Sad story is that young Serbian people despite being extremely intelligent and open-minded are now leaving Serbia for some other countries like Canada because of how they are treated in their own country. Right now foreigners arriving into Serbia have more benefits then the locals who are for decades systematically used as a cheap working labor mostly for foreign investors installed by our political puppets. You can work online without any stress for example while Serbian people will be placed on harsh tax policies where 60% of their earnings will be taken out. Very similar things are happen to Romania, Portugal, Greece and bunch of others, all of them are running out because they become cheap labor for foreign capital that will eventually be changed for a even cheaper labor from Asia after which Belgrade as we know will stop to exist and will become one of the business hub where everyone would like to live except for the locals itself.
Why the cost of living is high for local people. Yet they're making low salary? I wish things will change for them
@@Imhim247 Because our political leaders in the past 23 years care more about benefits for the foreign investors and foreign importers who are making extra profit on imported goods then for their own people and domestic companies. When foreign company receive free land, tax exclusions and payed place for each worker they employ in the next three years (from our own budget) and you compare those to domestic companies that have none of those benefits then everything becomes more clear.
@@rogyn8484 Dang, that's mess up. I read that salary is low. Yet, the cost of living is cheap. They must for a new political leaders that actually care for their own people and pay them more
What do you think why Canada and other countrys let the young Serbs in? Because they need cheap working labor.
@@bongigehtdichnichtsan6538 This is partly true, however beeing a cheap labor in Canada and in Serbia is not the same thing. Yes you earn less in Canada then the locals and prices are brutal but with that money they can still provide support to their families back home. By the way do you think that Serbian doctors and medical stuff are working for cheap money in Canada, Germany and others? Germans are literally giving them gold and sellaries they chose just to relocate in Germany. For one of my friend they provided free house, free stuff moving, best health insurances for a whole family, university sponsorship for kids and tons of other benefits just for them to move to Germany.
You are a very sane human being
Happy for you
God Bless you
❤️❤️❤️
every civilized person is welcome here
Welcome to Serbia ❤️ we come here after 20 years in USA. Best destination ever kids love it
I also left Canada after living there for 18 years. I totally understand you, girl!
I lived in Novi Sad for a year total.
My husband is from there, and we live in Canada.
I completely understand why you moved there.
We wish we could live there too.
We are stuck here in Canada and sometimes I think it would be a better life there ironically.
Good luck to you and yours young lady!
You're more than wellcome!
Its not just Canada
Welcome and good luck.I hope you will fir up very well in our community.Language is not so big problem becouse allmost everybody here have basic knowledge of English.But if you are here to stay you should learn Serbian for sure becouse it is very important to be fully recognised as a full part of a community.Anyway,good luck👍
Good luck you will not regret it
Generally, Serbians are very nice people . My parents are from former Serbia, they left after WW11 and resided here in the UK. I was born here in the UK and never visited Serbia but i really want to go and visit the beautiful country.
Love how you said former Serbia but clearly thinking Yugo but its actually kind of true cos technicaly there was several serbia's lol but Yugo itself can be seen as Serbia cos we made both Yugos the Kingdom and commie onemalso you written WW11 lol which taking all the crazy history with all the wars serbia was through its kind of true tht it can be ww11 to us serbs ahha
Good luck with your new life mate. Be sure to take a short trip down to Greece😎
We love Greece 🇬🇷
We were there in July 2022
As a Serbian - thank you:)
Well lets be real it may look great for foreigners. But for local people not so much. Im welding for 2 years since I finished school and I have average of 550e per month. And thats like salary for an average citizen in this country. And the thing is this. Gasoline is more expensive than anywhere in Europe. Food prices are pretty much the same as in hungary or other European countries doesnt matter. You have to pay your apartment from 100 up to 300 depending on the city you live. And that salary just doesn't cut it. I have to work a whole year 7 to 3 plus saturdays to meet my ends and srap a few thousand e just to get out of the country. Me and my brother plan on moving as soon as we get the passport and never look back. You just cant get anywhere with that amount of money unfortunately.
I am Serbian living in Canada for 56 years. I am grateful for Canada, but it's not easy to make friends like in Serbia. People are more open and care for others in Serbia. Here is very individualistic life, but it's just how Cnadians are, it doesn't mean they are not friendly. It took me years to understand that. Thank you for the video and , yes, please make more.
So, the moral of this story is that if your home country (Canada in this case) made it possible for you to have the means to move to another country, I guess it's all good.
My former country (Yugoslavia) "made it possible" for me to move to The Netherlands in 1991 by creating a viscous war. The rest I took care of myself.
If you mean monetarily,everybody has enough for the bus ticket if necessary. The rest is mostly on you. This lady was not a parasite in Canada whom Canada "gave" something extraordinary to change her life. It gave her only possibility. And she took it,so she deserves everything she has. But contries can "give" you bad things too. She explained some.
@ms 13 Thank you for understanding and listening to the video, unlike other people.
I appreciate your comment
Thanks to Canada, USA, UK, etc.. for killing innocent serbs, (in this case) demolishing their country and the infrastructure all because they don't want you living better. All because they want you in their countries working as slaves and not having any life. Go to any hospital, any major engineering company and you will see that it's ALL immigrants!!!! You're welcome for developing and building your countries for you.
The way you describe Serbia sounds like how I grew up in America.
We are old school 🤣
This was such a great video. Looking forward to watch fingers more. @JustSlim visits Serbia often. Loving both of your channels.
Thanks so much! 😊 I love @justslim videos too, I am no where near her level lol
Занимљиво... Одавде су људи одлазили за бољим животом у Канаду а сада прави Канађани долазе у Србију. У сваком случају добродошла!
Hvala
Kanada je nekad bila dobra zemlja.
Vise toga nema.
That is interesting, I'm Serbian born living in Canada since 2006 and thinking to go back ,
Come back! I don't think you will regret it. There are a lot of Serbs coming back from the US and Canada
This is very interesting topic. I moved from russia to Serbia in march 22'. Something made me stay here. I agree about the kids - my 9 y.o. daughter goes to and from school by herself alone. Teenage and adult girls wear very short skirts, often you can see their butt cheeks or panties and its not a big deal here. I wondered why and the answer was - its safe here. No one will follow them or insist with stupid or dangerous thoughts. Many people around the world are living here. British, germans, russians. Im still not sure if they are here by the reason you describe or because of job contracts. Belgrade has awesome variety of properties to rent - you can find anything from in city private villa or historical apartment with accessable private roof with swimming pool to modern glass skycrapers. Night life is huge here. Live mysic is still alive. But also serbia has some down sides - low wadges, very bad ecology in winter time ( it has very heavy smog through winter times), also strong pro putin movements are freaking me out. But I love Serbia and probably will stay here till my daughter finish Serbian school.
We have pro Putin movements because Russia is right. We also have liberals here, you can be friends 😂
@@icxcnikasrb russia is not right. I tell you as russian. All you know about this war that putin is against the nato and you hate nato because of nato atacked on Jugoslavia. You dont know that for these 20 years puyin was killing russia and its people
@@icxcnikasrb when all of europe starts dying young of cancer from the fall out of nuclear war and nuclear accdients and fall out from the bombs fitted with nuclear waste, i wonder how much it will matter who was 'right'.
@@mroleg904 And how it was in the 90s in Russia? Do you remember? How it was under Yeltzin and Gorbachov who really destroyed Russia. Gorbachov ended up on pizza commercial like a clown. Putin has clearly grown Russia in the last 20 years. Can't you see Yugoslavia was just a warm up for Russia? And now we have this in Ukraine. Only blind people can't see what the west is doing all around the world. But Russia, China and the others are putting an end to it. Enough with Anglo Saxon hegemony
@@icxcnikasrb you know nothing about russia in 90s and 80 and 2000+. i remember how it was in ussr - we had money but couldnt buy anything, even food. Only a few people from the hood had color tv. Only 1 of 80 families had a car. My mom stood for 10 hours in the lines to buy me kids clothing. When that piece of shit called ussr broke up, we've got everything , including free help from the usa. Each kid every month got a package of milk and some chicken food for free which were sent frim the states. 90s where times when one shitty country broke up, and people faced the real exhange rate for rubble. That was the time when we tried to build our new, free country. Putin was lucky to come in period when oil prices went up. That was the time when Dubai and Abudabi raised for the same reason. But instead of trying to build something great, he stole our money. All of authority chairs were giving to his friends who were zero at what they were set to be in charge. Our ministr of defence is his friend who even wasnt in army, neither had any kind of army education. Our minister of space was the guy who was... jurnalist. Putin came to the chair when rubble xchange rate was 1:25. Now its been 1:80 for 8 years. Even if buy only domestic food I could aford more for the same salory in 2000x. Putin is peace of shit and zero in politics. We are enemies with all sourounding countries and 100% are hooked up by chaina. You cant understand that people are running from russia not because of war, but because of putin. If they would feel that he is right, nobody would run away just like nobody ran away in 1941. Even in serbia minimal salory is 100 eur higher then in russia.
Welcome to Serbia! Dobrodosli! 😊
How did you choose Serbia instead of some other smaller country?
I recently moved from Canada to Czechia. I also have similar opinions to you about Canada and the direction it is going in, hence why I decided to take the plunge and make the move.
Lady, you're telling the truth ! And this is a courageous fact !!!!!!! It is not easy for many people to tell the truth About their country and that is why things never change ! But if many people did what you're doing,maybe ,things could change or improve !!!!!!! Thanks you, you're really open- minded!
Welcome to Serbia...wish you and the kids all the best...!!!
Ironically, I emigrated from former Yugoslavia, during 90-s Civil War, but I want to go back.... agree with all you are talking about, although, a was, and still I am greatfull to my new country for accepting me and providing me with resources to start from scratch
😍😍😍😍Serbia is a warm people country.
The decision to raise children in Serbia is the best possible one
Wonderful! I wish you all the best! I hope you'll learn the language soon! I have been living abroad, It brings your reationships to another level enriching you. 🍀
Thank you for your kind words
Welcome hopefully more Canadians/Americans move to Serbia. Dont listen to those negative comments they prob. hate Serbia or some people are miserable (misery loves company). People always find something to complain about. Wishing you all the best, and enjoy.
Thank you 😊
From 6.41 for all British people please watch hahahaha, you make my day 😂🙃😂 How many times and years I am fighting with them to tell them all that they are like robots saying thank you and we on other side our rude Serbians without culture 🙉🙈🙊. Diference is that when we say, thank you, welcome, how are you we actually really think that, and say from our hearts ❤️❤️❤️Dobrodošli u Srbiju 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Food in Serbia...everybody learns to cook from their mums and grandmas. We cook from screach and what's in season.
I can totally relate, I hate this government ( liberals) I live in Alberta
Yes I hate the the current CDN Government...
