Thank you for watching! Lots of love,

great shots of the church abs
How big was it tho
Serbia seems like a unique place. You seem so down-to-earth, kind, genuine, and optimistic. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿❤❤
It is such an amazing place! 100% recommend visiting! Thank you for your lovely comment :)
Serbia in general is one of the most underrated countries in the whole Europe and always comes through big. Great choice and great selection of sightseeing places
I couldn't agree more with you! I loved exploring it and I can't wait until I'm back there !
maybe because we are Orthodox
Kad bi zapad razumeo SRBIJU gdje bi nam bijo kraj
That Burek cried for some youghurt..😁.Never mind, welcome again to Serbia.
Haha! Thank you, what an amazing country you have :)
I must correct you, there were no Yugoslavia wars in 1999. There was an albanian internal uprising in Kosovo (which is integral part of Serbia as a province) that started in 1998 and Nato intervene and bombed independent state of Yugoslavia. After agreement is signed in june 99. (under heavy Nato threat of millitary escalation of war) all Yugoslavia army and police (along with more than 250.000 Serb civilians) withdrew in inner Serbia. And then Nato and Western powers gave a shame state of Kosovo a recognition (it is not part of UN and is not recognised by majority of world states)
Thank you for clarifying the history, this is obviously a very sensitive piece of history and it is important to know the facts.
Welcome to Serbia hope you enjoy it 😉🇷🇸
Thank you so much! I really love your country :)
Visiting Serbia in December!
Thanks for the lovely vlog ❤
Very exciting! Serbia is a beautiful country, you will enjoy it a lot!
Драго ми је што волиш Србију! Живела Србија! 🇷🇸💪🏻☦️
Serbia is amazing ! Can't wait to explore more of it :)
vazno da ti napises cirilicom, oni ne znaju da citaju to
Welcome to Serbia! ❤
I really hope you will visit Serbia again, I adore watching your videos about Serbia, it is so interesting and amazing.
Greetings from Novi Sad, Serbia. ❤
Thank you so much, Serbian people are always so welcoming! I am so happy you enjoyed the video, I genuinely fell in love with your country and I can't wait to come back and explore more - not just the capital and Niš :) !
@@abbeyfrancis I hope you will visit my city as well (Novi Sad). I would like to watch your amazing video about Novi Sad :D
You girls are smart AND beautiful! Please visit again!
Thank you !! We can't wait to visit again :)
Wow, Serbia looks so good! Can you recommend us some cool places there?
It's an amazing country! Everything that made it to the video, I can highly recommend checking out :) Wondering around the city and discovering the city :)
From a Serb when you coming do not plan your trip come and don't expect anything and everything can happened. Secret of Serbia are Serbs.
Putin on a tshirt is not my thing but to give you some perspective- Serbia and Russia have many ties, historicly and presently. We are both slavs and ortodox cristians, and many of both nations consider themselves brothers. Russia helped Serbia in many occasions in the past in hard times, and never attacked or made any oponent gestures on Serbia (like many others had). Russia helped Serbia to reconstitue our state in the 19.century (hence serbian flag is uppside down Russian),and also helped enormusly during WWI. So many local people perceive Putin as a strong Russian leader and would like to wear his tshirt.
Thank you for explaining this, what I didn't get on video is that we met two young Serbian girls after seeing the t-shirts and they explained the ties between the two nations. I think seeing Putin on a t-shirt currently can be a bit sensitive with the current invasion of Ukraine, that's why I kept these clips in :)
@@abbeyfrancis sensitive to whom? Why would we care about snowflake's sensitivities in our own country?
@@abbeyfrancis hey, Abbey, nice vlog from Belgrade. It’s kind of complex to explain. We went through what Ukraine is going through, many times, we feel sorry for the people, but we have enough experience to recognize political manipulations. After all, we were in Yugoslavia, a big country, where we all speak the same language. In this case, we recognize the manipulations of the West.
We are not so sensitive and traumatized by this event, because our people in Kosovo and Metohija are still suffering. We never had time to cry because of other people's battles, to be in a bubble, because ours are not finished yet.
And, guess what, nobody cares about that.
♥️
Thank you for visiting our country. You are always welcome. Thank you for this wonderful presentation. I hope you have convinced yourself that we are good people. You are wonderful and beautiful and come visit us again!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment :) - your country is awesome

That building is from NATO bombing enjoy in Serbia
Yes, amazing to have such a visual reminder of the atrocity!

The fun starts at midnight in Belgrade!
Exactly! The city that never sleeps :)
Love this! The 'big' count, I can't 😅 Tom also seems like a gem
Hahaha it was so big tho :) Tom was a legend, many amazing conversations were had with him! Thank you for watch the vid xx
Ја већ живим у Београду
Nice! I would love to live there one day too :) - it's a beautiful city!
Haha, Putin shirts and mugs, something you can buy only in Serbia (not available even in Russia), specifically put there for tourist :)
Very interesting to see and learn about the Serbian/Russian relationship !
@@abbeyfrancis Here is to learn one more interesting fact: the Temple of Saint Sava you visited has unique mosaic, unique not just by immense dimenssions (15.000 square meters), but also by technology applied in producing pieces, artistic solutions and number of people involved in its creation.
You see, that is not "stone pieces", but pieces of cobalt glass that was specially mixed and baked for every color hue on different temperature (just producing mosaic pieces took 3 years, and there is about 50 million of them, and instaling took 1 year more). The whole new technology had to be invented for this, and the nice gold colour was actually made by mixing real gold powder or golden leaves into cobalt glass pieces before baking... Every piece can withstand 20 kg pressure per cm2, which sounds a lot, but than again, mosaic is immense, so the planing of building mosaic had to incorporate also speacial ingeneering calculations of wieght and pressure structure, so it doesn't crush under its own wight (or fall on your head by accident...). For that purpose, outlining of composition had to be done by 3D scanning and put through various stress simulations before it was made possible to build it for real, that has never been done for this kind of artistic construction...
And now most interesting. Artistic idea was made by Russian Academy of Art together with Serbian Academy of Art and Science and special expert team from Serbian Orhodox Church. In the end, about 3.500 artist and experts were involved in the project, but the persone who lead all that army of artist was Russian academic Nikolay Muhin.
The price of that mosaic, just in material value, is colossal (although, nothing is so colossal for priceless result), and it is in whole financed by Russian Government (or better say, by Russian citizens, becasue that was budget money), and under personal iniciative and engagement of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
So, for all that positive experience inside Temple of Saint Sava, and I saw you went out with blown minds, you have to thank to Russian artists, Russians citizens and mister Putin, that made it possible...
So, now you compare yourself those bombed buildings in the center of Belgrade and that mosaic, and get your own conclussion :)
omg i love it, i miss our travels so much 🥺
Bring on south america :))

So you should be x
Hii what’s the name of the accommodation ? You guys mentioned it but… the spelling 😅
Here is the link to the hostel we stayed in :) www.hostelworld.com/st/hostels/p/314437/up-hostel/?source=ppc_gooads_nonbrand_dsk_dsa_pn_en_eucatchall&network=g&campaign_id=20981130437&adgroup_id=161856943121&criteria_id=dsa-443313842330&creative_id=689218685481&location_physical_id=9071834&location_interest_id=9196009&adposition&uniqueclickID=8800634387021171141&sub_keyword&sub_ad&sub_publisher=ADW&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwhIS0BhBqEiwADAUhcwBzk10WGqED_qmiucfdAOsKQiayM743nviCE3pxhuftk9gh6AURChoCtdYQAvD_BwE
Superb video. Belgrade is far the biggest city of ours, but personally I like more Nis 😊 It is smaller but still have vibes of the city. It is crowded as well and great food there as well with bunch of nice restoraunts. At evening, along river called "Nisava" at summer, there are a lot of young people walking and have a great time with guitars or just chatting. Very nice atmosphere overall.
Just one advice if you decide to visit us again and make a video about it. Please avoid everything about politics. Kosovo, NATO, Russia, Putin, Ukraine, EU, American or England government. Personally I don't give a f*** for any of those, and believe me there are a lot of people in Serbia who share those views as well, but also there is people who get sensitive about those topics and you can get a few rude or unpleasant comments and you don't need that cause you are very nice person. Everything is fine, even some critique if it's derserved, but politics should be avoided here at any cost.
You are very kind and fun, and your two friends as well. Hope you doing great in life and enjoy your traveling. Come here again in Serbia, you are welcome at any time. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful comment!! I hear what you're saying and have learnt a lot from this video about AVOIDING politics, especially when I have no lived experiences or understandings of Serbian politics. In the end, I discovered a wonderful country, culture and peoples. I hope to be back. My dream is to do a road trip in Serbia - it's just such a wonderful country and I want to discover more of it. The place left a big impression on me and I'm sure many others.
Thanks for your video, I'm glad you had beautiful time in my home city, but if you come next time there is free WiFi networks all most all over the city.
Your home city is amazing! Yes haha we did figure that out after a couple of days hahah
Nice shots!!🥰🇷🇸❤️🇷🇺
Thank you :)

One ozzy and two brits! It was an amazing trip, we can't wait to come back :)!

PREKRASAN JE BEOGRAD👍
hi what's the walking tour u took
Hi oops I forgot to link it! Here is the tour, I highly recommend this one :) belgradefreetour.com/
was this birth of ‘not the time, or the place’??
This was 100% the birth! Can you believe putin got us there x
how do we get hold of Tom the local guide?
Tom is actually not the local guide, he is just another tourist I met in our hostel. You can find the walking tour that we went on linked in the description :)
This video is convincing me to go to Budapest via Serbia!
You've totally been convinced! I can't recommend it enough :)
@@abbeyfrancis did you find it safe?
@@tajlyons9452 It's very safe there! Locals are so friendly :)
:) Bravooo !
:) THank you :)
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Cool vlog, hope that you come again! :)
Hello, welcome to Srbija!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much!! That is so lovely that your friend is from Australia too! Thank you for watching my video - I loved your beautiful country!
Прекрасный Белград ruclips.net/video/Le6DlhgR-wI/видео.html
Thanks for upload. Any tips on accommodation and night life?
For night life, you wanna head along the river where they have clubs on boats, unfortunently I was too sick (had the flu) to go and check them out :( and as for accomodation we stayed at UP hostel, I would recommend it for the comfort, but maybe not so much for a young backpacker vibe. Hope this helps!
nice
the undestand when you speek in English with them ?? please I need that !
Yes Serbians speak pretty good English!
😇👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀🥂❤️🇷🇸
YAY ! The best country :))
How much did you pay for the book, it shouldn't be more than 500 dinars (about 5 euros)
Ask for the price first
I have no idea honestly, it was my friend who bought the book, I think she paid 400 (good to know that it's not too expensive)!
@@abbeyfrancis I thought that your friend gives 200 and 500 dinars to the seller, maybe even more. But it's okay if it's 400 din. You and your friends just look naive, but you are actually smart girls 😀
❤️
:)
Its not a ruin...its a monument!
It’s a ruin, please see the English definitions here: wikidiff.com/ruin/monument
@@abbeyfrancis im sorry but for us it s a monunent!to remember the bombings!thats the reason its still standa there!
ergh, that accent aint cute.
Mine?
Go elsewhere then bloody idiot
@@abbeyfrancis yeah , yours.....plz go away as soon as you can, and never return, plz
Wow you really failed with the history, saying Nato was the aggressor when it was Serbia itself. Milosovic
go away, thanx
No probs x
How is it possible to explore the city of Belgrade in two days?
Some lesbians would know?
You are not well come in Serbia!
You're so rude!! We were not in Belegrade for two days and we are not lesbians! Keep your awful comments to yourself, thank you!
@@abbeyfrancis @ Nevermind the creep - he might not even be Serbian! Some of our "friendly ex-Yugoslav neighbors" pretend to be Serbian and are insulting our tourists with nasty comments to make Serbia look bad. Our 'Secretary of State' ms.Brnabic is LGBT gay woman and that tells you there is no discrimination of any kind allowed in our country. I'm glad you had a pleasant stay in Serbia ang I hope you come again!
@@abbeyfrancis You did't have to explain a thing to this shithead. I don't think there is a Serbian that is stupid that much. I will use the fact that your not lesbians to ask you about Serbian guys. What you think about them?
👌👌👍👍❤❤
looks stunning
Such an incredible country!
