  • We have been enjoying our time in Serbia, we want to share this beautiful country and community in the Balkans with you. Serbia in our opinion has been overlooked by the Expat community, and we think Serbia deserves some serious consideration.
    For background on the events of 1999 see this link: balkaninsight.com/2019/03/22/...
    For information regarding the 1942 Jewish and Serb massacre in Novi Sad see this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novi_Sa...
    Do you want to live abroad as an Expat? Are you looking for affordable and viable options? We are exploring the world to see what it's like to live in a country, and also discover if Residency is an option.
    We began our retirement in March of 2020 with the intent to travel the world, spending 1-3 months in a country or location. We want to see what it's like to live there and not simply visit, and we want to share these experiences and the costs with whoever wishes to follow along.
    If your looking for a place in Europe to live or retire Serbia may be an option, stay tuned and follow along.

    Julie and I retired early not by luck but by planning.
    One of our spokes to our wheel for savings, and now an income stream
    is Fundrise. Basically we are invested in many apartment complexes around the country.
    We get a portion of the rents in the form of dividends, and growth in value with the appreciation
    of the properties. We currently have selected an income REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)
    which historically pays between 7.5% - 9% annually in dividends. You can chose a balanced REIT which has a split between appreciation and dividends or a REIT where it's focused on appreciation and not dividends.
    Check it out to see if it's a fit for your savings, or retirement strategy. Feel free to share this with those you feel may benefit from this program.

      There are many myths in the Mediterranean since ancient times that tell of an unassuming, impoverished guest turning out to be a god. It affects mentalities to this day -- to be rude to a guest is thought to be very ungenerous, uncivilized, and unlucky. There are specific adjectives for "guest-loving" and "guest-welcoming." There is even a grain of superstition about it, obviously.

    In general cities in Serbia don't have some "hood, ghetto" areas , basically any part of the city, center or suburbs are both at same level of safety, same goes even for big city like Belgrade. Even with crime (drugs for example), no criminals will attack you if you are not into that business. Also pickpocketing is not that common in Belgrade (almost nonexistent in other cities), while most of the big cities in Western Europe have real problem with that.

    Wow, I feel that "Balkan Insight" link about the problems on Kosovo and Metohija is really Western-centered. They didn't mention anything about what was happening before the action of the Serbian military. Like how Serbian people have been attacked and driven away from the territory (their homes) for years. On its own territory which is insane... Anyway, I don't want to get into this any deeper, I just wanted to add this so it doesn't look like the Serbian military went there for no reason. Now I wasted my comment on the war topic... Ahhh, and I wanted to say something about life in Serbia. I guess one comment is enough... I have to remind everyone who is reading this comment that I don't have anything against other countries or nations, I'm just saying that a lot of things that happened in the last 50-100 years are wrongly presented in the history books and media. But I am optimistic that time will show what actually happened. Thanks. :)

      Why does everything have to be politicized? You really are not doing any favors to tourists, dragging Kosovo and your wars into every thread.
      The topic is public PHYSICAL SAFETY! what every tourist wants to know when traveling...not your wars!
      Are there muggings on tourists, are there rapes involving tourists, gun violence towards tourists, where are the bad area's of your city that a tourist should not walk alone etc etc?
      Yes we all know we have hoods in our own cities, so spare me the Chicago danger...I know where not to hang out in Chicago, I don't however know that about Beograd, and depend on the traveling man to openly share with us...don't tell me about L.A. hoods, tell me about your city...don't tell me about your wars.
      To Warren and Julie peace and thanks for sharing your perspective on your travels! didn't mean to rain on your parade, just tired of every thread being politicized when an honest question is being presented. ;D

    There are not any restricted area's anywhere in Serbia. And even the 'low score' of '38' is totally unfair - it should be close to zero. Germany's rating is '35' but I guarantee you Serbia is safer country than Germany. Cops are actually 'walking the beat' in Serbia instead of driving around chasing speeders. The whole country is extremely safe at any time - day or night. Also there are no homeless people in Serbia either.

    • @dragankondic4168
      @dragankondic4168 3 года назад +1

      Actually the low score might be exaggerated due to high levels of corruption and high tolerance for crime. It is true that crime is not concentrated to ghetto areas but that makes it more evenly spread and more likely to happen in central areas, night clubs, sport events and school yards.
      With all that aside, it is still a fairly safe country, main reason being that it is a small country with only one large city. In small towns where "everyone knows everyone" people are less likely to engage in criminal or shameful activities. That also means less freedom in what you can do without being judged.

    If you guys consider your retirement in Serbia I belive it could be very good move in many ways.
    1. It is cheap and affordable
    2. Safe
    3. Easy going lifestyle, everyting is a walk away.
    4. Good food, caffes, restaurants, patisseries, bakeries...
    5. Very close to many other EU and non EU counties, just few hours driving to Budapest, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Sofia,Trieste, Adriatic or Aegean sea cost or just 1.5-2 hours flying (at low cost) to Athens, Rome, Milano, Wien, Paris, Munich, Zurich, Prague...
    6. Many lakes and very affordable ski resorts in Serbia and Bosnia. Many thermal spas in Serbia. Rivers. Danube river cruise thru most of Europe
    7. Very nice weather. Pretty mild winters with not many frigid cold days and not much of snow. Hot summers and very nice and warm springs and falls.
    8. Almost everybody speaks English
    9. And if you get Serbian passport one day together with US passport there is no borders and visas for you anywhere you want it to go in the world. With Serbian passport no visa for Russia, Cuba, China,Iran, Turkey...etc. EU, Japan... also :D , Literally the world is yours.

When I saw that crime index, with Serbia being at 38.07 and USA at 47.7 I chuckled. It suggests that the two are even in the same realm. Living in Chicago and visiting many different cities and towns in America, I can confirm that comparing the 2 countries when it comes to crime rates is ridiculous. Crime is skyrocketing in America especially since 2020 but even before that it was terrible. I mean parts of Chicago are literally like war-zones.

Because at times when fort was built. It was believed that it is more important to know how much hours it is then minutes for ships in distance....

    I would never imagine Serbia to be a dangerous country, at least in recent years. In 2017 the murder rate per 100,000 was 1.23, which is very low. You ask why Serbia has been overlooked. Could it be the same reason why Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, and Kosovo are also overlooked? I don't want to open up a can of worms because I know how some people can be very nationalistic but a lot of people do have a negative perception of Serbia, which is hard to get rid of.

    • @jobrock1079
      @jobrock1079 3 года назад

      There's been many western expatriates and travel bloggers in BiH and Montenegro for years. They are not that overlooked, while Macedonia is known for all its statues and generous hospitality. By the way, the name "Northern Macedonia" was forced on it by the U.S./west and most Macedonians do not approve and feel it is a total violation.
      Also one reason Serbia is overlooked is it has never been "touristy" because it doesn't have a coastline and even during Yugoslavia, its tourist industry wasn't developed, while the Yugoslav government spent much developing and promoting Croatia, Dalmatia & Montenegro (Liz Taylor and Richard Burton went there, for example). Albania was closed under Enver Hoxha, a paranoid dictator.

      ​@@rayvogensen2983 Serbs were the targets from the start. The overall pictures is key NATO countries, especially U.S., Britain and Germany wanted to break up Yugoslavia along old ethnic fault lines for a long time, but it waiting until Germany re-united that they got more active.
      The west falsely advertised the Muslim & Croat leaders (with violent histories & goals) as "moderates" and ran PR for them. Bosnia and Croatia had the same major PR firms that were involved in the propaganda against Iraq in 1990-1991 to condition the American people to support that war - like with the false Iraqi soldiers bayoneting Kuwaiti incubator babies and so on.
      Britain alone sent in over 2,000 mercenaries to Croatia and also sold & shipped millions worth of military communication equipment to Slovenia just weeks before the skirmish/war started there.
      Serbs were fighting for their lives against western-backed separatist who had much, much larger armies & paramilitary forces than the mainstream media acknowledged. The Bosnian Muslim ARBiH had the largest forces in Bosnia by far - outnumbering the Bosnian Serb forces by 4 or more times. There was heavy arms smuggling despite the UN sanctions & U.S. & British ships didn't stop the shiploads of weapons to Croatian ports. Even a British weapons observer witnessed German Leopard tanks & airplane parts coming to Croatia's port (Ploce) in 1994, but was ordered by his superiors to send in a false report instead. There was huge cover-up & lies in the war, and the end result is that the post war censuses show Serbs were ethnically cleansed the most - it was the Serb population which fell percentage-wise, while the non-Serbs the media claimed were victims had a RISE in percentage of population in Croatia, BiH & Kosovo respectively by end of war.
      I've learned from those who were on the ground DURING the wars, including UN soldiers, reading official UN documents & transcripts of the ICTY trials, & also caught many, many lies by the mainstream news/narrative.

    Yugoslavia had been given an option, by Hitler and the Nazis, to pretty much sit out the war and provide some logistical support to Wehrmacht. Although the government and the prince regent accepted the deal, people rioted and army staged a cue and overthrew that government and expelled the prince regent. Hitler was furious, and the Nazi war machine overrun Yugoslavia in just 11 days. However, the Yugoslavs never accepted the defeat and immediately the Nazis and their allies found themselves in their own Vietnam.

If you pause your video at 11:56 on the other side of the fence you will see a black marble cube monument that marks the actual location where they gathered and threw people under the ice. It was too eerie to put the statues with the list and everything on this location because this is a city and the largest beach on the Danube river in Europe.
