I have visited all ex Yugoslavian Republics & for me and my friends we loved the most Belgrade This year again, one Cuban, three Americans, one French & two Germans, we all come from Miami and we love Belgrade
I'm Russian. I was in Belgrade in December 2023. Belgrade is amazing!!! It looks so chill, peaceful, and I don't know...Some really really special wibes there. All people were very sweat and respectful. And one more thing. National Museum was incredible, I couldn't image that there are so many cool stuff in there. I hope I'll be in Serbia again at some day.
The croats can lie that Tesla is croat but Dokuments don’t lie check Wikipedia his father was Serbian orthodox pope even USA documents proof it Tesla is Serbian ethnic and had American passport
@@dzonikg does that change a thing? They are still same as they were. Celebrating oluja appropriately. They rebuit his house, just so they can crap about it.
Its funny how croats have such hatred towards the serbs yet the most famous croats are of serbian origin, even the croatian anthem was created by a serb xD
Hello from Bucharest, Romania. Belgrade looks very similar to here, beautiful architecture, nice friendly people, great food. i have to come visit soon!
Hi, great to watch your video. Here are all your doubts explained. The underground passage is to get to the other side, to avoid the traffic. We don't have the metro (subway), not for another ten years probably. SFRJ stands for what you said - the former Yugoslavia. The small Republic you didn't know was Montenegro, and the other one you didn't know is Vojvodina - an Autonomous Province in Serbia. We eat a lot of meat, yes. I think what you had was mashed potatoes and goulash. "Destroyed it", haha. Loved that one. Yes, the cars honking were for the wedding. They usually get noisy. These are Serbian flags - red-blue-white from top to bottom. The "state flag" has a coat of arms, the "people flag" is just a regular flag without the coat of arms. It is the opposite order of colors to the Russian flag, that may have gotten you confussed. Both flags are in use. Ideally, the "state flag" is supposed to be used only by the bodies of the state, but people use it also. The fountain is just regular tap water which you have in the hotel or apartment also. It's safe to drink. Republic Square it is. The Croats claim Nikola Tesla, but in 1991 they blew up his statue in Gospic, Croatia... and now they put him on the metal coins of the euro (the euro cents) issued by the Croatian National Bank. I hope my answers were helpful.
Привет Слайс! Классное видео. Очень уютный и красивый город . Прочел меню на сербском, и я бы все понял без перевода что написано поскольку русский язык немного похож на сербский. Привет братьям сербам из далекой сибири.👍
you are right, we are orthodox christians in the majority. candles are lit near the church for the souls of the living (above) or the dead (below). enter that temple you passed by my friend, you will enjoy the sight and the atmosphere. enjoy!
A lot of people who come to Serbia first time and especially the Capitol Belgrade, gets a bit confused. Because a lot of anti Serbian foreign media has for ages brainwashed people to think Serbia is just muddy under developed roads with toothless old women driving horse wagons, with bad infrastructure and so on. I know once a Swede, ( cause I lived there almost my whole life) asked me if they have meat in Serbia.🤣🤣🤣😆. I said, you mean that tasteless plastic meat filled with water as they have in Sweden, no they don´t have that. Of course the farthead got offended by what I said. Hope you´ll have a great stay man... 😃😉 It´s a very cool city, and get to know someone, then you can explore the real Belgrade. It´s not that hard to get connected in Belgrade.
There is no such thing as "anti Serbian foreign media". People just don't know anything about Serbia, apart from what they've seen during the '90ies wars and that was pretty gruesome. You should also be aware that outside toilets are quite common in some countries and that has nothing to do with Serbia. Since most people don't even know where Serbia is and they often mistake it for Syria and Siberia it is not uncommon for people to ask silly questions like do you have trees or is it really cold there?
@@urosmarjanovic663Maybe this is why they are usually so delighted when they come here: they do not expect anything and get knocked off their feet when they see the bare minimum of a civilized life. 😂
Growing up in the 80s/90s I remember hearing about Yugoslavia a lot. Once the split happened we rarely heard about the region after the Bosnian war. Also It’s kind of crazy how famous Edison is in the U.S compared to Tesla. Imagine how many people in the U.S have no idea Tesla is an actual person

I love Belgrade. Nice vibes, very educated people and helpful, lots of good food and beer. Serbs know how to have a good time! Air pollution the winter is intense though. Zagreb in Croatia is a slightly similar city that is also nice.
Those are not russian flags Those are serbian peoples flags We have 2 types of flag With the coat of arms... its official flag of Serbia for all citizens But the flag without that is a flag of serbian people wherever they live 😀
@@DavidJohnAr its upside down like regular state flag of serbia, just without the coat of arms If u notice, the flag of republika srpska in bosnia is the same as that That means its the flag of serbian people
@@DavidJohnAr It's not 'upside down'. The red-blue-white tricolor has been a symbol of the Serbian state and Serbian people since the middle of the 19th century. The more precise explanation for the 2 types of flags is that the flag with the coat of arms is the state flag and ensign and the flag without the coat of arms is the civil flag and ensign, but in practice, the coat of arms flag has de facto also taken over this role, leaving the coat-less flag to symbolize the Serbian people. The coat-less version is also the official flag of the Republic of Srpska, one of the two entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
@@DavidJohnAr So, Ireland and Cote d'Ivoire are the same, right? Or Poland and Indonesia? By the way, the blue color on Serbian and Russian flag are not the same.
The architecture is really amazing. I love how many very different buildings with very different architecture are in Belgrade. Every time you find something new
Sly, great video. I went to Belgrade last year, blew my balls off with how amazing it is. And also hiw I had no expectations but only stereotypes, I thought Serbia was just large Brutalist tower blocks and people slav squatting (not literally, but not far from what I thought) and I was so taken aback! What a place.
Мне когда-то приснился сон о том, что нужно поехать в Белград. Никогда не была здесь, а сейчас смотрю и вижу уютный город, красивых людей. Мне очень понравилось. Захотелось и впрямь приехать. Здорово!
У меня знакомая парень и девушка переехала год назад в Сербию, им очень нравится, климат райский, еда вкуснейшая, а главное отношения к русским очень хорошее, местные помогают очень многие, причем бескорыстно
We love Russia and Russian people! Always welcome to Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤️🇷🇺 Just don’t pay crazy rates to greedy landlords if you decide to live in Serbia! Negotiate the rate down at least 20-30%
The fact is that Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in the Austrian Empire. His parents were Serbs and he personally calls himself a Serb, as he writes in his diary.
Great video! Hi from a Belgradian :) That was Republic square, with the great monument in the center or the square. Revolution square is a bit further away. We are Christian ortodox. We light candles in the upper part with prayers for our dear ones to be healthy, in piece, and in the lower part for the ones who are no longer with us, so they have their peace in heaven. St. Sava temple is second largest temple or a church in the world. If you decide to pay a visit to it, go to the underground floor, where it is magical to witness the beauty it holds. The two countries you couldn't remember are Montenegro and Vojvodina. Many Serbs and other nationalities, for that matter, visit the amazing Montenegrian coast, seaside every year. Cheers to your positive outlook on our city, where you can find many beauties. It is also a hometown of The Great Novak Djokovic. He owns a restaurant in New Belgrade, maybe you should pay a visit to it too. :) As a woman born in Belgrade, I say this was a great video, full of positivity and i wanted to pay my respects by answering to some of your questions, but also to the fact you read some history prior to your visit. Enjoy your stay. :)
I'm originally from Russia, and I'm currently in Serbia. I've traveled to many countries, but Serbia is by far the most pleasant and hospitable place I've been. I love the people here - they're always ready to help and are incredibly kind. What's more, they're very tall! Even at 1.90 meters, I feel like a child around them. Serbia, you're the best❤💙🤍🤝🤍💙❤
Thanks for making this video mate, you did your research well and I like your laid back style. Much appreciated! I hope you found Old Karaburma a good place to stay, as it is not the usual tourist choice, haha
French fries not really part of our cuisine, but it is a part of every restaurant menu. But we do like potatoes in general 😊 In my household growing up, we rarely ever ate fried potatoes in any shape, but mashed potatoes or baked in the oven was definitely pretty common with meats or goulash.
Brother potatoes are absolutely the best I think I saw in a magazine that Serbian people like it the most But yeah I agree, FF arent really a bog part of most households You can boil them, mash them, bake them, put them into soups and stuff, you can fill other vegetables with it during meat fasting (post idk ako sam ubo na engleski..)
I'm in Belgrade atm as well. I'm Serbian living in Australia. Letting you know the customer service people are blunt and don't look too happy because they are underpaid so just remember not to take it personally. In Australia we smile all the time, in Europe people don't fake smile.
@@dankadesign7462BS. I live in Australia and “smile” is not “part of “culture” here, absolutely not. She described it very well, Australia is a fake smile champion, so don’t be rude labeling other societies and their people as not civilized and cultured by your / western standards. Such a low mentality.
@@jasmina-eo5rm in which way i am rude explain to me and what country i am labeling ?My expirience is obviously diferent from yours.I met ppl who doesn't have fake smile and you don't- what is rude here?And what you doing in country that you labeling "capital of fake smiles"??
Soviet planes don't fly for a long time now to Serbia. Don't know which one you flew but not Soviet for sure. Unless it is some cargo Illushin or Antonov...
Апсолутно, али је та прича већ завршена - сви путеви за транспорт (са којима се хвали власт) су већ изграђени и уговори потписани - а паре су на њиховим приватним рачунима ван земље, где планирају да ПОБЕГНУ чим буду морали... а нама ће да остане пакао на земљи. Таква је ситуација и мораћемо је мењати, јер избора -апсолутно- НЕМА. Не постоји.
I literally can't believe that you found yourself in front of the second largest Orthodox church in the world (and by many standards, the largest) without going inside for even a minute, if nothing else you see the magnificent and largest mosaics in the world. It would be like walking past the Sistine Chapel and not even looking at it, and a lot of people come to the Vatican just for it :( But I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to be in front of the Church of St. Sava again and this time look inside, if not for any religious reasons, then certainly at least for artistic reasons. All the best!!!
@@reformtorta You're in Serbia, the churches are a big part of Serbia, I tried being an atheist but even for me its not easy. Like, at least check out the culture you're visiting I really dont care, but he is missing an experience, considering that Serbian churches have beautiful frescas (idk if I spelled that one right), icons, atmosphere. They are so beautiful inside I feel bad for him missing the opportunity to check it out
I have no idea if we are talking about the same place. I used to live in Belgrade for a year back in the day and couldn’t wait to go back. For example Novi Sad a city 67 km NW from Bgd is way nicer and way more livable)
About the flags you mentioned. Flag without the crest is the people's flag, which every citizen can use and put on their homes or anywhere. Flag with crest is the state flag, which is usually used on state buildings and in state affairs P. S. Citizens sometimes use state flag too, so it can be confusing sometimes
Congratulations! Love your infos and explanations.. you seem very educated, love your presentation.. have you been to Budapest, Hungary yet? Visited in June, it was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend to you.
Flags without the amblem (coat of arms) are national people's flags, with amblem is official state flag, and the flag with cross with 4C is people's Church flag.
@6:40 - Flags you see without emblem are for civilian use, and is exactly the same as Russian flag, just upside down. State flag (as in government use) has a an emblem, like one you saw a minute after, that is on offices of a national bank building. and national museum a bit later - a white two-headed eagle, also similar with Russian coat of arms, except we have "ocilo" (traditional Serbian symbol, cross and four "C"), while Russians have St. George on horse instead. As for Tesla, he was a Serb, yes, and at that time Croatia didn't exist, it was Austrro-Hungary. Later on,. Croats killed between 81 and 90 Tesla's relatives in his hometown, on basis of religion (Nikola's father was an Orthodox priest) and hatred towards Serbs, leaving total of 500+ slaughtered, including 27 babies before babtism, and 135 children, and also leaving no Teslas left in his place of birth. To say Nikola Tesla has anything to do with Croats is beyond sacrelige, hypocrisy and pure inquisition, Nazi evil of what Croatia is founded on.
@@sasho888prm No, real Serbs don't travel to Croatia even if they would be paid to go. Fake Serbs go there sometimes ang get beaten and cars destroyed (I wouldn't let them back anyway). Serbs don't go to Bulgaria because of horrible massacres Bulgars did to Serbs in WW1, while Bulgars were on Nazi side. Serbs go mostly to Greece and somewhat to Montenegro for holidays.
Comfort food? Maybe the mashed potatoes are comfort food, but that dish is probably beef goulash. That's not junk or processed food like mac and cheese.
12:34 first you light a candle down for the dead (family members and friends ) to remember them, and then you light candle up for the health and happines for a living (family members and friends).
Would you mind giving me the contact info on the place where you stayed? I need to stay about 30 minutes walk from the center and that neighborhood where you first hopped on the bus looks fine.
The deal with our flag without emblem is a "people's flag" and we say that red colour is representing blood, blue is for water, and white is for freedom
Hello Sly, Regarding the religion question 12:12 Yes, Serbs are in majority Orthodox Christians. The place for candles is meant for both, the dead and living. At the top you light candles for the living. At the bottom you light candles for the dead. So, you must light a separate candle for the living and for the dead. Each candle you light represents one individual.
Song playing in the background at the restaurant is one of my favourites, from a Croatian singer. Love the fact that they are ok playing all good Music
The flag with crest is actually republic flag, you can see them on institutions, and the one without crest is people flag :) The building with two flags are actually National Museum of Serbia, it shows you it is both state and people's institution :) You will see also state flag and city flag on city institutions. It is a little confusing, but you can actually say who is financing which institution by flags, and which institution is it.
The flag you saw above the pedestrian area (the serbian flag without the crest) is the civil flag. The Serbian flag everyone knows is the state flag. Hope this helps :)
About the flags, by law only goverment and state buildings can use the flag with the emblem, everyone else needs to use the regular flag. Welcome and I hope you enjoy!
We are Orthodox and what you saw is a place where we can light up the candles. The candles on top are for the living, and below are for the deceased. We usually light the candles for both the living (for health) and deceased (for them to rest in peace).

I'm originally from Russia, and I'm currently in Serbia. I've traveled to many countries, but Serbia is by far the most pleasant and hospitable place I've been. I love the people here - they're always ready to help and are incredibly kind. What's more, they're very tall! Even at 1.90 meters, I feel like a child around them. Serbia, you're the best❤💙🤍🤝🤍💙❤
Thanks for making this video mate, you did your research well and I like your laid back style. Much appreciated!
I hope you found Old Karaburma a good place to stay, as it is not the usual tourist choice, haha
French fries not really part
of our cuisine, but it is a part of every restaurant menu. But we do like potatoes in general 😊 In my household growing up, we rarely ever ate fried potatoes in any shape, but mashed potatoes or baked in the oven was definitely pretty common with meats or goulash.
Brother potatoes are absolutely the best
I think I saw in a magazine that Serbian people like it the most
But yeah I agree, FF arent really a bog part of most households
You can boil them, mash them, bake them, put them into soups and stuff, you can fill other vegetables with it during meat fasting (post idk ako sam ubo na engleski..)
I'm in Belgrade atm as well. I'm Serbian living in Australia. Letting you know the customer service people are blunt and don't look too happy because they are underpaid so just remember not to take it personally. In Australia we smile all the time, in Europe people don't fake smile.
Yes we know but most ppl in Australia doesnt have "fake smile ".Life can be hard everywhere but being nice , kind and helpful is part of culture
@@dankadesign7462 no its not dude...
@@kaffeice7 no its not what??
@@dankadesign7462BS. I live in Australia and “smile” is not “part of “culture” here, absolutely not. She described it very well, Australia is a fake smile champion, so don’t be rude labeling other societies and their people as not civilized and cultured by your / western standards. Such a low mentality.
@@jasmina-eo5rm in which way i am rude explain to me and what country i am labeling ?My expirience is obviously diferent from yours.I met ppl who doesn't have fake smile and you don't- what is rude here?And what you doing in country that you labeling "capital of fake smiles"??
I visited Belgrade in June 2022. I took a Soviet airplane to Serbia 🇷🇸. Don’t forget to visit the fortress.
Soviet planes don't fly for a long time now to Serbia. Don't know which one you flew but not Soviet for sure. Unless it is some cargo Illushin or Antonov...
@@stevannikolovski probably, it was an old airplane.
Here is the new subscriber who live in Germany but comes from Serbia. 🇷🇸 I am glad you visited my country, enjoy!
Cool place
It was, but it's failing FAST. We are colonized and the government is corrupt beyond repair. Troubling times ahead...
@@user-xl8sp8ir8j hm. I didn't know. I read this city name in books about WW2 most was written by Russian Soviet Union people
The woman's there look good 👍
Sly my favourite brave solo traveller . more blessings🎉
Одличан видео . Браво . Велика опасност је пред вратима. Некако мора да се заустави отварање рудника литијума у Србији !!! 🇷🇸❤️
Апсолутно, али је та прича већ завршена - сви путеви за транспорт (са којима се хвали власт) су већ изграђени и уговори потписани - а паре су на њиховим приватним рачунима ван земље, где планирају да ПОБЕГНУ чим буду морали... а нама ће да остане пакао на земљи. Таква је ситуација и мораћемо је мењати, јер избора -апсолутно- НЕМА. Не постоји.
I literally can't believe that you found yourself in front of the second largest Orthodox church in the world (and by many standards, the largest) without going inside for even a minute, if nothing else you see the magnificent and largest mosaics in the world.
It would be like walking past the Sistine Chapel and not even looking at it, and a lot of people come to the Vatican just for it :(
But I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to be in front of the Church of St. Sava again and this time look inside, if not for any religious reasons, then certainly at least for artistic reasons.
All the best!!!
You can't just walk past Sistine Chapel.
You need to pay addmitance and wait in an endless line.
Yeah, difference here is that is entrance in St. Sava temple free, as it should be to any church 😑
@@NijeLoseABiceiGore Maybe it is free, you have to pay to get into Vatican pass the St.Peter's
lay off the guy, maybe he's not into going to churches, no matter how big
@@reformtorta You're in Serbia, the churches are a big part of Serbia, I tried being an atheist but even for me its not easy. Like, at least check out the culture you're visiting
I really dont care, but he is missing an experience, considering that Serbian churches have beautiful frescas (idk if I spelled that one right), icons, atmosphere.
They are so beautiful inside I feel bad for him missing the opportunity to check it out
Hope to come here some day 🔥 keep up the great content bro!
Good video, all info is correct, kudos to you, you have your history facts right. 👍
Dobro Jutro bro :) cuidate Hermano
Looks beautiful and clean.
Nice video. Yep, a lot of Telsa's real inventions were supressed, lol but that's a story for another day
You made it here! Enjoy your stay
Welcome to Serbia, man!! You gonna love our food and people! 🇷🇸
I would like to meet you for a collaboration video. We can meet anywhere in Belgrade if you want.
I plan to come here!
I have no idea if we are talking about the same place. I used to live in Belgrade for a year back in the day and couldn’t wait to go back. For example Novi Sad a city 67 km NW from Bgd is way nicer and way more livable)
🙂❤👍 Thank You Shy Safe Travels 🙂❤👍
About the flags you mentioned. Flag without the crest is the people's flag, which every citizen can use and put on their homes or anywhere. Flag with crest is the state flag, which is usually used on state buildings and in state affairs
P. S. Citizens sometimes use state flag too, so it can be confusing sometimes
Congratulations! Love your infos and explanations.. you seem very educated, love your presentation.. have you been to Budapest, Hungary yet? Visited in June, it was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend to you.
Flags without the amblem (coat of arms) are national people's flags, with amblem is official state flag, and the flag with cross with 4C is people's Church flag.
Hey you were in my neighborhood at the start of the video! :D
Did you go to Novi Pazar as well? Greetings from Connecticut 🇺🇸
Belgrade metro has been planned for more than 50 years.
@6:40 - Flags you see without emblem are for civilian use, and is exactly the same as Russian flag, just upside down. State flag (as in government use) has a an emblem, like one you saw a minute after, that is on offices of a national bank building. and national museum a bit later - a white two-headed eagle, also similar with Russian coat of arms, except we have "ocilo" (traditional Serbian symbol, cross and four "C"), while Russians have St. George on horse instead.
As for Tesla, he was a Serb, yes, and at that time Croatia didn't exist, it was Austrro-Hungary. Later on,. Croats killed between 81 and 90 Tesla's relatives in his hometown, on basis of religion (Nikola's father was an Orthodox priest) and hatred towards Serbs, leaving total of 500+ slaughtered, including 27 babies before babtism, and 135 children, and also leaving no Teslas left in his place of birth. To say Nikola Tesla has anything to do with Croats is beyond sacrelige, hypocrisy and pure inquisition, Nazi evil of what Croatia is founded on.
And yet Serbs still travel to Croatia but avoid Bulgaria at all costs 😂
@@sasho888prm No, real Serbs don't travel to Croatia even if they would be paid to go. Fake Serbs go there sometimes ang get beaten and cars destroyed (I wouldn't let them back anyway). Serbs don't go to Bulgaria because of horrible massacres Bulgars did to Serbs in WW1, while Bulgars were on Nazi side. Serbs go mostly to Greece and somewhat to Montenegro for holidays.
Comfort food? Maybe the mashed potatoes are comfort food, but that dish is probably beef goulash. That's not junk or processed food like mac and cheese.
Great video and impressive knowledge of Serbia. 👍😃
BRAVO!! You have to visit Zemun, the best part of Belgrade, good food, music, people, view, Danube,
zemun is not belgrade
12:34 first you light a candle down for the dead (family members and friends ) to remember them, and then you light candle up for the health and happines for a living (family members and friends).

Oh damn this was 1 month ago. Hope you had a good time, it's rough out here but we treat foreigners better than we treat ourselves.
Why didn't you enter the Saint Sava Temple?
he's the devil. here, the answer you wanted
@@reformtorta😂😂😂😂
Would you mind giving me the contact info on the place where you stayed? I need to stay about 30 minutes walk from the center and that neighborhood where you first hopped on the bus looks fine.
50 minute walk sounds cool.
Not in this heat.
Craziest thing - when he said he'll walk, bus station that would take him 95% of the way home was just around the corner.
Bout to be out there in a couple days yeeaaa! In Kragujevac Right now.
Oh I advise you to visit Novi Sad. The fortress there is amazing, you won't regret. I've been there couple days ago ☺
The deal with our flag without emblem is a "people's flag" and we say that red colour is representing blood, blue is for water, and white is for freedom
Let me take you out for a drink. I'm also in town 😂And, yes, you're right. The women are hottttt😂😂
Hello Sly,
Regarding the religion question 12:12
Yes, Serbs are in majority Orthodox Christians.
The place for candles is meant for both, the dead and living.
At the top you light candles for the living.
At the bottom you light candles for the dead.
So, you must light a separate candle for the living and for the dead.
Each candle you light represents one individual.
Hallo Crna Gora is Montenegro and Vojvodina is Serbia Novi sad is the second largest city in Serbia. Thank you for the video you are a great man 😊
Song playing in the background at the restaurant is one of my favourites, from a Croatian singer. Love the fact that they are ok playing all good
Music
Really happy you came brother
Welcome!
The flag with crest is actually republic flag, you can see them on institutions, and the one without crest is people flag :) The building with two flags are actually National Museum of Serbia, it shows you it is both state and people's institution :) You will see also state flag and city flag on city institutions. It is a little confusing, but you can actually say who is financing which institution by flags, and which institution is it.
what we were supposed to catch at 9:20 i didn"t catch that?
The beautiful (bootytiful) woman
The flag you saw above the pedestrian area (the serbian flag without the crest) is the civil flag. The Serbian flag everyone knows is the state flag. Hope this helps :)
6:10 a massive young boy!! At least 2,5 metres! Unreal!! 👏
About the flags, by law only goverment and state buildings can use the flag with the emblem, everyone else needs to use the regular flag. Welcome and I hope you enjoy!
We are Orthodox and what you saw is a place where we can light up the candles. The candles on top are for the living, and below are for the deceased. We usually light the candles for both the living (for health) and deceased (for them to rest in peace).
