As both Serbian and Canadian, I actually find this video and the whole conversation extremely balanced and unbiased, aligned with my own perception - which, I must admit, was not my expectation. I thought this would be more propaganda than an objective discussion. In hindsight, I should have given you both more credit as this person exemplifies honesty, integrity, levelheadedness and politeness I have grown to assume in Canadians. My only point of disagreement was the parking example. Belgrade is overrun by cars and it’s not that people are relaxed about stepping on parking lines, it is about recklessness and sheer disregard for laws and other drivers, that many individuals exhibit while parking or driving. This is just a symptom of the overall pervasive atmosphere of lawlessness and idea that I can choose to disregard laws and personal liberties of others whenever it suits me. It’s just a manifestation of a deeply rooted cultural problem. Still, as I said, very well done, nicely balanced and respectiful conversation. Good job and good luck to both of you!

For a Belgrader who lived in Canada a couple of decades ago and returned to Serbia, I found this episode quite resonating. Also, yet another excellent interview with an interesting person living in Serbia (Belgrade, to be intentionally precise). A great channel, very promising content, seriously professional interviews with excellent questions.

Speaking of humor, I can assure you that it is actually very similar to English sense of humor. My understanding is that, and I kind of did my own little research on a topic, asking my foreign friends if they ever heard of English TV series "Only fools and horses" and not a single one did, and I am talking about Germans, Austrians, Spaniards, Greeks, Portuguese people. Now, in Serbia, this TV series has an iconic status. The jokes from it are still around. I do not see any other reason why it is so popular here and nowhere else in Europe but the similar sense of humor.

Smoking is very harmful for your health, so Serbs need to curb this, if not quit it. I read that during the NATO bombing that more Serbs took up smoking due to the stress. And that after Serbia was overthrown for a western puppet government, that the first place British and US invested in was the tobacco companies. That is likely the reason the Serbian government doesn't make laws restricting smoking (or doesn't enforce them), they want to please the west over Serbians' health! And tobacco smoking originates from the Native Americans. As someone who genuinely cares strongly for Serbs, I say please try to discourage smoking.

Annual African festival are held and many African music genres have a solid footing in Serbian music sphere.

As a Belgrade native, I'd say that it's nice that it became so popular. On the downside, sure, prices became worse and business try to appease to a wider public thus impacting a bit of the culture (even though it's on us, the natives to keep such places active and popular and not groan and moan about others for bringing their own piece of home, but thats a different, much longer story), but it brings different cultures, different ideas, different music etc to the town. Been dancing bachata for 2 years now. Before that, apart from a black family which I was neighbors with (who by the way have better Serbian accent than myself, still salty about that lol), I saw my first black person who came as a tourist IRL at around 18 years old. Now, at 25 and after those 2 years of dancing I've spoken with hundreds if not over a thousand people from all across the world, of all colors, cultures, ethnicities etc and I do believe that that's great!

Srbija je najbezbednija drzava na svetu i verujem ostale zemlje u okruzenju nasa deca od 8 god i starija pa i mladja sama idu napolje da se igraju sama idu u radnju uvece po mraku ja sam odrastao devedesetih u ratovima i imao sam slobodno da kazem bezbedno detinjsto jeste bio rat par km dalje ali mi smo bezbrizno igrali klikera zmurke i partizana i nemaca i tacno nikad necemo zaboraviti bombardovanje uvek ce biti taj gorak ukus u ustima zauvek

We don't prepare food immediately after someone days and people don't prepare it. We also don't send telegrams 😁 but maybe some people do. Also, Belgrade isn't resisting modernisation anymore. Additionally, Nato bombed us and one of the buildings that were bombed is now irronically being sold to the Americans so... Yeah

I think he's referring to people gathering immediately around the grieving person. I find it beautiful and so important.

Cool video

He looks like a Serbian, just thin

Of course he loves Europe. I’m sick of Trudeau and his policies. He absolutely singlehandedly ruined Canada. Canada used to be one of the best places to live and grow up in.

I have the sameThat’s tradition, when is funeral, people drink for dead man soul. Then you need to have food 🥘

Ono sto smo mi zeleli da promenimo non stop poslednjih 20-30god, njima svima fali.

More and more Canadians are struggling as well….cost of living has skyrocketed and unlike Serbia where you can scrape by, in Canada with most people in debt and necessity to own a car, insurance etc, to have a normal life you NEED to bring in a much higher level of income than in Serbia.

Hi, it’s interesting to hear all that because it’s so true & some things this gentlemen said are funny because it is true, for example a wet hair & “promaja” etc. I live in Australia & have visited Canada & USA and I know what their mentality is as well as Australian which is so very different to Serbian. Some things are for the better back home in Serbia but even I have changed in the past 40 years since I’ve moved to Australia. I do travel back home every year I do get frustrated with a lot of things for example parking cars any which way except just perfect as I am used to & it naked ne quite literally angry when I see a car parked on the white line or crooked in a way that almost takes two car spaces…. I get mad!!! Or smoking 🚬 that is so darn annoying to me but saying all that I love my homeland and if anyone else criticizes my country or my fellow Serbian people they better hide because they will get what is coming to them 😜😂😜🤬 Anyway I like this guy for being honest about good & some bad things about Serbia & our people, our culture good & bad…. It’s all true!

Idk why ppl keep saying they don't know what promaja is, what is the word 'draft of wind' in English then?? And when Serb let you get away with some things it's not because they pity you, it's because they understand you come from different world and most of us will not expect from foreigners to fully emerge in Serbian life and customs.

At a certain point, they cant play the dumb foreigner card. If you live in a country for over a decade, you should assimilate, otherwise it becomes annoying seeing them constantly fumble as if they arrived yesterday.

Serbia is great place to live if you are not from Serbia

Great interview 🎉🎉🎉

I watched this a couple of times and sent to Canadian relatives. Very interesting and educational. Must say, Serbians are very specual mob.

When I was a child many years ago, in the rural parts of Vojvodina, a lot of people were abusing (hitting) their children and that made me feel sick about the country. I might re-evaluate that. How is the attitude today with regards to abusing children?

what would you regard as hitting and abusing? it's a bit lighter today but still harsher than in the west I would say

hitting here is not abusing is foe education purposes only! many westerners do not understand this bcz today your child can sue you for that which is the most absurd law ever created meant to destroy a family

I think there was a lot of immigrants from BiH to Vojvodina after WWII, and those from Bosnia were known to be harsher on their kids.

Come to the West if you want to see child abuse. So many children dying at the hands of their parents, guardians.

Even in Malta you say hello, good day! Even in Switzerland you say griezzi, so that’s very normal! If you don’t do the same thing in your country, something is wrong with you and your country 😅

Greetings clapping 👏🏽 to WWII Nazis in Canadian Parliament is no.1 reason why most Serbs are returning, not work. Most Serbs did and are still doing rather well work-wise… Back in Belgrade, Ministry of Defence is there and will be in Serbian minds forever, time if anything amplifies the importance. Last but not least, I would like to address the ever so subtle put down regarding Serbian attitudes towards Asian and Black and any race whatsoever is if anything lot warmer than towards people from NATO countries. We know who bombed us.

I feel good that he said 100% TRUE about Serbs ,thank you ❤

Passport bros? You will not get in Serbia what Passport bros expect. If you are rich she will expect from you to paid maid who will cook and clean for you. And if both of you work, you will have to do house chores mate. Passport bros expect to find wife who will cook and clean for you, and stay silent. That you will not find in cities. You can only find in village places. But even if you find there in village that kind woman she will not stay silent I assure you.
