    You can visit St. Sava Temple (biggest church on the Balkans), you can walk from Knez Mihailova pedestrian main street, past hotel Moskva, towards square Slavija and keep going until you get to the temple. Also church Sveti Marko or Saint Marc and park Tashmaidan is near centre, not far from the Parliament building. There is Ruski dom of culture on street Kraljice Natalije 33, there is a statue of Tzar Nikolai 2nd, not far from Hotel Moskva, just dowhill towards the park and river.

    Brutalist buildings in Yugoslavia are partly similar to Soviet architecture, partly unique Yugoslavian, and partly inspired by the architecture of the French architect Le Corbusier. Belgrade is much more beautiful in spring and summer. Since I see that you are mainly interested in Brutalist architecture (although I am not a fan of it), there are quite a few interesting buildings that you have missed. As for old Belgrade, a lot was missed, only Republike Square and Sava Square were shown. As for English, we have it as a compulsory subject at school. From the fifth grade we have to take another foreign language (it depends from school to school, sometimes it's French, sometimes Russian, sometimes German, sometimes Italian). Another reason is that we, as Yugoslavia, unlike the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, were exposed to American and British films and series as well as music, we were something between East and West, more precisely we had something from both worlds and at the same time we were and we were not part of both worlds.

    In the Balkans you use "zdravo" or "ciao" when speaking with friends. "Dobro jutro/Dobar dan/Dobro vece" is more formal and more polite.
    For example if a teenager told "Zdravo" to an elderly person it would be considered rude.

    A big factor in why English is good in Serbia is that here films and tv shows have subtitles, not dubbing. Only children's shows are dubbed.

    Economy 101, Serbia is a small country of only 6.8milion people, apartments are limited resource, 100k Russian IT guys, freelancers etc came here, they have money and we Serbs are greedy, lets be honest here, so ofc prices skyrocketed, i live in Belgrade, you can't rent anything under 500 euros per month which is crazy considering median wage in Belgrade is 500 euros and average is 700... So obviously landlords don't have Serbian clients in mind but Russian IT folks. We count in Euros because our domestic currency is chained to Euro so course is always stable, that's why it's easier to count in Euros because numbers are smaller and exchange rate never changes, our currency is just cosmetic!

      Thanks for explaining things! Well, but for me not only the apartments, but also the cost of products, food and so on feels expensive. Maybe especially after I travel to some cheap countries like Vietnam, Turkey and so on. But it feels even more expensive than the South Korea as well(in case of food). And sometimes even 2 times more expensive than Russia (is some cases). Taxis for example as well (but gasoline cost much more here as well)

    Go to Russian Graveyard in Belgrade, where many Russians heroes liberating Belgrade in WW2 had fallen and are buried there, and honored each year. You can take transport 12 on Slavia square, so you can see part of King Alexander's boulevard , up to New Cemetery.
    Nearby, go there for lunch in Zlatar kafana, where they serve wild game meals.
    Go visit Russian Orthodox church, just between church of St. Marko's and Serbian Parliament and post office huge building in Tasmajdan park in central Belgrade.
    Optional - Go to Belgrade Zoo, walk along Tzar Dushan's street and catch bus #26 on Dorcol and end up in Jerkovic. Then take bus #18 to Zemun. Then take #17 to end and take #31 in opposite direction to get you back to city center. That's to see real life outside of center.

    Princip's family name originated from the nickname his great grandfather had. He was very strong, tall and proud so he got the nickname which in local dialect means "Prince", actually that is how Slavs in Northern Dalmatia and Western Bosnia called Doge of Venice. So the Austrian Prince was killed by someone who had familty name Prince. Gavrilo Princip himself was not very tall and strong.

    Now, what would be your thoughts if you came to Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia or Croatia just to mention those Sergey?
    By the way Serbia has candidate state status to join EU together with more countries. Serbia and Montenegro have been described as the frontrunner candidates, and projected that they would join by 2025, during the next mandate of the European Commission. Ukraine and Moldova were subsequently recognised as official candidates, while Bosnia and Herzegovina and Georgia amongst others are recognised as potential candidates and were asked to complete additional reforms before becoming official candidates for membership. Bosnia and Herzegovina then received official candidate status in December 2022. And there are more (Georgia, Turkey, …) but Russia’s aggression towards their closest “brother country” Ukraine 🇺🇦 is focusing everyone on this outrageous war there at the moment.
    For further studies I recommend reading some articles in Wikipedia like „Potential enlargement of the European Union“.

    Most of those beautiful, old buildings in Belgrade, and in the bigger cities in Serbia, were designed by Russian architects, who were sheltered by the then Kingdom of Yugoslavia, King Alexander. Among the refugees from Imperial Russia, there were the most intellectuals, architects, engineers, doctors, so the contribution of the Russians is that those old parts of Serbian cities look the way they look today. After the First World War and before that the Balkan wars and the Ottoman Empire, Serbia was exhausted and weakened. Not to mention that the Russians helped the Serbs to free themselves from Ottoman slavery. Remember how Count Raievsky (Vronsky) died. It is the contribution of the Russians that the center of Belgrade and other major cities look like this today. Of course, in the Second World War, those cities were bombed and were left in ruins. The most Niš (67 times) then Belgrade, Leskovac (very often sneakily, during holidays)... The Russians have never bombed us, we have the same soul, origin, character and mentality. That is why it is not strange that from the depths of our Serbian (Slavic) soul we love Russians and Russia and rejoice in Russians on an essential level.
