- In this video I go to Serbia's North Western most province: Banat. Here we explore Serbian, Hungarian, Slovak, Rusyn, Croatian, and Romanian cultures and architecture as we travel throughout the province. We visit the cities of Pančevo, Zrenjanin, and Kikinda. All famous for their baroque Austro-Hungarian buildings and layouts.

Small correction, Weifert was German and only foreigner on Serbian banknote. I don't know if his family came from Slovakia but he is born in Pančevo. He loved Serbia so much that he even participated in Serbian-Turkish wars. And Zrenjanin is European capital of sport 2021. while Novi Sad is European capital of culture 2021.

Come to Brazil, you'll feel at home, it's basically Eastern Europe, we even havea lot of gypsies,accordions and depressing brutalism
I love southern brazil. Curitiba/parana has a lot of russian and eastern european influence and people who have eastern european heritage. Southern brazilian girls are muoitos gostasas kkkkk :)
Gypsies accordions and brutalism are eastern European but everything else is completely different
Slavs are cold and conservative societies while Latinos are extroverts with degenerate dances
Also eastern Europe has almost no crime, while Brazil is the murder capital of the world

We also call it Banat in Romania ,it's the romanian part of the region .
It's because, you divided a Hungarian Great region.
@@sebestyenpinter706 the name comes from the title of Ban, which is a slavic word. Also, the serbiab Banat at least, has been inhabited by romanized thracians since the region was conquered by the romans. Slavs also came and settled earlier than you, too.
@@combatantezoteric2965 You're not right at all, because ban/bán is a Hungarian word.
And, Slavs did settled there, but not Croatians nor Serbians.
@@sebestyenpinter706 the word comes from the avar language through the old slavic language, in both hungarian and romanian. So its more slavic than its hungarian.
@@combatantezoteric2965 "Banat" means administrative unit at the Avars in the Avarian Empire (a turko mongolian population), ruled by a Baskaban (the title "Ban" remained among the ruins of their empire covering what is today Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, much of Hungary)...so is neither Hungarian, Slavic or Romanian....Some of the most important Hungarian, Romanian or Slavic nobiliary families are also of Cumano-Avar origin (Banfi...son of Ban- Baskaban, Basarab family...etc). After the fall of Austro-Hungary the region of "Banat" was divided among Yugoslavia a Romania and Hungary (unfortunately the author of this video-clip does not mention the Romanian or Hungarian Banat neither the former capital of Banat which is Timisoara). It is a region who succeeded to keep in both Serbia and Romania his own cultural specificity. Various ethnicities living there are usually living in harmony, although I may say Serbian influence is the most powerful, probably through the church. Last but not least in 1919 while at the Versailles Peace Conference Romanians, Yugoslav and Hungarian delegations were claiming the entire Banat for themselves there was among the locals an attempt to create "The Republic of Banat" organized in cantons having in mind the Swiss model.

mhm
You really got me in the first half.
The more you go north the towns look more familiar to me. I am from Slavonia (Croatia), the lack of Ottoman influence and the huge amount of Hungarian is just like all the cities in my area.
No, there is little Hungarian influence in Vojvodina which is authentically Serbian. What do you mean “lack of Ottoman influence”? Are you insinuating that we have “more” Ottoman influence in other places in Serbia? You have never been to Serbia, yet you spew so much bullshit about this country. Let me tell you something- no, we aren’t the Turkish janissaries you ought us to be. I am originally from Niš and have been to all over the country. There is no “Turkish influence” in the South that you imagine it to be, it’s just much more authentically Serbian due to lack of German influence which is more present in the north. The only place which even remotely reminds of something “Ottoman” is the Raška area due to its high Muslim population, and even then the Muslims in Raška are mostly their own people, independent from Turkish “culture”.
Croatians are much more historically close to Islam and Turks in general, so much that you called those Turks to be your fellow brethren in WW2, even allying with them to try to exterminate us. Croatians have on numerous occasions betrayed White Europe and Christianity with their bestial ways of doing things, similar to how Turks did.

7:30 Kudos to srpski for letting the Hungarian flag fly. Maybe it's a Balkan thing, I saw Italian flags everywhere in former Italian-populated parts. Not to point fingers but foreign flags are considered as threats of national security elsewhere.
Hungarian flag flys on almost all municipal and government buildings in Vojvodina in cities where Hungarians have significant minority like Szenta, Ada, Szabadka and smaller villages.
Albanian flag is more common than Montenegrin in parts of Montenegro where Albanians are majority. You can see that shit everywhere

The music at Nagykikinda's part in the video hit my heart. Thanks for putting it in, and greetings from Hungary!
In truth, Banat is split between Romania and Serbia (we Romanians actually have a larger part of it). A small part (part of a subregion called Torontál) is located in Hungary. You can't really talk about Banat and not talk about its capital Timișoara. It's not what it used to be (the city degraded much under communist rule and it wasn't that well run afterwards either), but it does have several lovely old squares with Austro-Hungarian Baroque-style buildings. Also, it was the 2nd city in the world with public electric lighting (after New York) and one of the first with electric trams.
Banat (at least the Romanian side with which I am familiar with, but probably also the Serbian one as well) is almost like the Switzerland of the east, because people of all nationalities (Romanians, Serbs, Hungarians, Germans, Bulgarians, Slovaks) live here in relative harmony. In some cases, even the Gypsies, notorious for their unruly nature and hated in many other parts of Europe, can be good neighbors here.
Temesvár...
@@timeanagy8495 A multiethnic city where Hungarians, Germans, Romanians, Serbians, Bulgarians lived and still lived side by side in peace, no matter which country the city belonged to. Of course, Germans and Hungarians were the majority in the city under Austria-Hungary, while Romanians, Serbians, and Bulgarians inhabited the countryside around it, because the latter didn't have as many rights as the two main nationalities (a fact which sadly led to the break-up of Austria-Hungary following WWI).
@@wyqtor It's still Temesvár. London is a multi-ethnic city too.. but it's London.
@@timeanagy8495 In Hungarian it's London, in Romanian and Italian it's Londra :))
@@timeanagy8495 You mean Timișoara
you honestly deserve much more views. hope you have more luck this year
Some cities are so lucky that their development stopped in the Baroque era, others are not so lucky that their development stopped in the Soviet Era.
There’s been until recently a sizeable German minority in Banat called the „Banatschwaben“. They were invited there as settlers by the Habsburgs , about the same time the Serbs arrived , because the Banat had been emptied after centuries of war against the Ottomans.
I‘m not sure how many are left today 、probably some in Timisoara (Temeschburg ) .
They're quite noticeable in Timişoara and Arad; not as many of them as before the 90's, but still a remarkable number. I think almost every Romanian in these cities knows at least 2 Banat Swabians. Both my best friend and boyfriend are "Şvabi din Banat", for example.
Nobody wants to talk about why there are almost no Germans in the Banat now. Families who lived there for 200+ years were massacred, stripped of all their possessions, and sent to Russian work camps by partisans.
@@alisonbahr3749 you’re right , I didn’t want to talk about that for fear of spoiling the mood 😬
I guess that’s what the partisans did back then , after they themselves had suffered from the German military occupation of Serbia and the fascist puppet state called „Independent Croatia“. Some were indeed Nazi-collaborators, but of course driving them out on a large scale was against human rights , just as the Czechs did with the Sudete Germans in 1945 .
@@alisonbahr3749 I only know of germans from Serbian Banat to have suffered this, the Romanian communist government was way more inclusive with the Svabians.
@@geppetox748 Of course, the Romanian communist state also 'sold' many of our former German compatriots to the Federal Republic of Germany in exchange for hard currency, depriving our country of many hard-working and intelligent people. Of those who didn't leave then, many left after the Revolution, not seeing any future for them here (who can blame them?), further adding to our brain drain problem.
Just a small correction. Timis is a river that flows through the Timis country but it passes close to Timisoara. We have Bega as you mentioned in another video.
I'm from Timisoara so trust me on that.
da, este așa....
I adore Vojvodina, Banat specifically because my folks are from Kikinda. I may not be born there but Vojvodina is my land as well, I hope it gets more respect from the government.
wow, thank you very much. I live in Timisoara(in Banat, Romania) and now I want to come and visit the Serbian Banat again :). Can't wait for the bike track along the Bega river to be ready. It will be from Timisoara to Zrenjanin, Awesome! BTW, thanks for Kikinda, I never heard of it and it looks quite nice, loved the tree street, the museum and interesting horse mill.
i always wanted to visit Colonia Bulgara !
Loved the background song of Kikinda. :)
Happy new year!
As a romanian this is my favorite part of Serbia
A Romanian's most favourite Serbian párt is Hungary. So ironic.

My Great Great Grandfather was a Brew Master at the Weifert Brewery in about 1885 until 1904 when he sailed to America with other Danubeswabians aboard the Zealand departing from Bremerhaven Germany.
I have been in Kikinda but didn't go through that much of it, anyways it is beautiful! Btw the flag you thought is the Kingdom of Serbia is actually the Traditional flag of Vojvodina that took graet inspiration from the Principality of Serbia
7:32 its not flag of Kingdom of Serbia, but national(old) flag of Vojvovodina
Banat is more or less split between Serbia, Romania+parts of South East Hungary.
from the south of tisza to the retezat mountains from romania, it s romanian territory. and from the southern part of vojvodina to the south of hungary, it s west banat. so, yes.
Banat Vojvodina born in Zrenjanin it was all beautiful back then in the 60’s and 70’s before we left zrenjanin for Germany and then to the USA I miss it ! ❤🇷🇸❤️
Thanks for putting Rem in the thumbnail
2 small things to mention:
- The green bridge is not 4 konja debela that bridge was demolished back in the day and in his place the bridge where you shot Begej stands;
- In the communist era Zrenjanin was one of the most industrialised cities in Yugoslavia, having GDP per capita just behind Maribor,Zagreb and Belgrade, and having gross economy larger than whole Montenegro or Kosovo in SFRY. The sheer surface of abandoned or demolished/privatised factories from that era covers roughly a fifth of the whole city area. Kinda weird when I think about it.
Bro you please change it to Serbian Banat, as 2/3 of the historical Banat is actually in Romania today. It was split after the declaration of the Banat Republik in 1919. Also Romanian Banat is way more beautiful as you have mountains and lakes and Timisoara. But we love Serbian Banat mucho hermanos.
There's also the romanian Banat region on the other side of the border, worth chekcing out :p
I went there once, while visiting the rest of Vojvodina. This place is seriously underrated, although Novi Sad is still my favourite Serbian city.
greetings from romania :)
Kikinda is the best town in Serbia. Except there's no jobs so people need to move or travel to the workplace way outside of it. It's so pretty and it makes me feel bad for leaving it and denying to visit too much nowadays. 😭
You sure about that? Unemployment bureu has about 3000 listed people seeking a job, there are several companies that employ in town.
@@vceda yeah. It got almost empty on the streets in the past decade or two due to people moving to mostly Novi Sad or Belgrade for work. And people mostly work illegally anyway, if they work, with low wages. Completely empty streets are a reality for already a long time.
Кикинда је лепота, толико би могла да напредује преко самог туризма али тамо нема воље за тим.

To be honest, I don't know why I like this channel, but I do.

Mmm that sneaky shot from Timișoara at 0:44
Fun fact: Here in Romania there is a province called Banat literaly bordering Serbian Banat. Romanian Banat starts and ends in the same points as the Serbian Banat. Its like we are brothers! Romania loves Serbia and vice versa. #iambalkan
because its the same fucking geographic region....
I knowww
Hungary has also a part of Banat. It's a multiethnic historical region.
Bro you should visit Vrsac its in the south banat region
U forgot about Senta, the 2nd most hungarian city in Vojvodina, and Battle of Senta was a huge 200 iq.
Eugene of savoy defeated the Turks near the city in 1697
Visit Minsk one day !
Please come to Nova Crnja and make video of this beautiful place 😃
Very nice video, my Bosnian friend has been there before and I hope to go after Scotland is out of lockdown
very nice video, as a Romanian I didn't know anything about the serbian part of Banat
What I've noticed compared to the Romanian side of Banat everything looks more run down and decayed, meanwhile if you go to a city like Timisoara in the Romanian side you will see lots of buildings getting renovated or already rebuilt
Also fun fact: the mayor of Timisoara is a German that was born in Germany
In Serbia also lot of buildings getting renovated but we have a lot that need renovation. Only in Belgrade there is 2000 construction works.
And the mayor doesn't do anything, literally, he just cancelled a lot of the previous mayor's development projects, all he did was host some LGBT parade that will take place very soon, kinda cringe if you are asking me
@@mihaisirbu1 Oh come on, Robu was a loser who thought he was a mini-god of the city, he had to go. Let's judge the current mayor when his term is up in 3 years, although I agree that he should have more important priorities than the gay parade (people from Banat are tolerant anyway, they don't really care about what other people do in their bedrooms).
@@wyqtor well I never said I was a supporter of Robu, the ex mayor for folks that dont live here but I don't like the fact that Fritz doesn't do like anything, it's like in that meme: cmon do something
I visited banat 14 years becuse I was born there
"they congregate in a gymnasium"
not even surprised. but what do they use instead of olive oil?
You forgot about the other part of Banat, which is in western an southwestern Romania.

Finally something about Banat,though I must say Pančevo is not the biggest city in Serbian Banat,the biggest city,by a few hundred people is Veliki Bečkerek,or Zrenjanin,and river that flows try Timisoara is Bega(Begej)not Tamiš,and this you know since you said it yourself in your video about Romania...
But a great video non the less

There's also the Banat Bulgarians. They're descended from Paulician heretics who converted to Roman-catholicism in the 16-17th century. These Paulicians came from Bulgaria back when it was a hotbed of dualist heresy in medieval times, and before that they came from Armenia.
The editing isso awesome. Scene changes are met with anime girls.
Bro you should visit vrsac.
i go to banat like every summer bc my grandma lives there
NorthEastern province, not NorthWest and you could've included Vršac as it's arguably the most developed place to live in of all in the province, and along with it, the Deliblatska peščara site which is very interesting topographic-wise and in other ways. You could expand more on all the places mentioned, and if you do a little bit more digging you'd find interesting stuff regarding villages across Serbian part of Banat as well, nice vid nonetheless. 🤙
Small correction/sugestion at 1:25 in banat we say ceau (like in italian, ciao) just fyi
Correction 2: Timiș doesnt flow through Timișoara, it flows through a small village on the outskirts of Timișoara
You should visit Senta as well, I was there this year and really loved it. It’s a nice mix of Serbian and Hungarian cultures, I think you’ll enjoy it. Btw I recommend trying the ice cream near the main part of the city in a little museum shop, it’s so delicious (the best I ever had actually)!
there are also some bulgarians in Banat
yoooo bruv u didnt mention my city, Vršac! right at the end of the Carpathian mountains at the southern Vojvodina-Romania border
Banat is a Romanian part aswell

You never did the Belgrade video that you mentioned in the outro??
The only important question is which are the prettiest girls? Hungarian or Serbian? Nothing else matters to me.
Hmu if you ever come to Subotica, would love to show you around/ have a coffe
