Novi Sad Serbia - Why we were afraid to return. (Serbia 2021 Expats, Nomads, and Retired Pensioners)

Do you want to live abroad as an Expat or Nomad? Are you looking for the best country to retire to? Invest in? We are exploring the world to see what it's like to live in a country, and we attempt to answer these questions, we also do the tourist stuff, have adventures, and we explore 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, so please subscribe to our channel.

That's awesome, Warren and Julie! I'm a Black American from New York City who stayed in Novi Sad for 6 weeks less than 2 years ago, and the people there were so nice it was like some kind of fairy tale. I kept pinching myself. I couldn't believe that, on this Earth, that many people in a city could be that super kind and friendly. And the food was great. And the hotel fees fantastic. Although I was only one of four black people I saw in the entire city, the people there were absolutely wonderful. I don't think they even heard of racism before. lol If only a few more amenities were there, and Amazon shipped there, I probably would have stayed there for the rest of my life. Novi Sad people are almost the polar opposite of Belgrade folk. Novi Sad rocks!!!

[@meryuk]

[@AllanZhang16]

This is awesome. I am thinking of visiting both places but am curious about why you say its the polar opposite of Belgrade... was Belgrade less friendly?

[@masterprophet8378]

@@AllanZhang16 , indeed, I got robbed in Belgrade, twice, and every person I met there was incredibly rude. But in Novi Sad, every single person I met there during my entire 6-week stay was incredibly friendly. And 4 of them told me themselves that Belgrade has a number of unsavory characters. And I hadn't even told these Novi Sadians of my bad experiences in Belgrade. Others say they've met wonderful people from Belgrade. I cannot discount their experience but, as for me, my experience in Belgrade was the worst I've ever had anywhere of the 7 European nations I've travelled to.

[@chilechichich465]

Cornelius sounds like a Romanian name. I think Romainan Orthodox liturgy is pretty much the same as Serbian Orthodox...

[@cjgumbert]

@@chilechichich465 You're correct, it's an identical liturgy (whether the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great, or the Liturgy of St. James the Apostles) across all Orthodox Churches. The monks at Kovilj are known for some exceptionally beautiful Byzantine-style chanting in Church Slavonic that makes their liturgy stand out from most liturgies you'll find in both Serbia and Romania (not to mention many other places).

So happy for you!! My wife and I have family in the Kragujevac area, so we are planning on retiring there. We like Belgrade, but it's(I hate to say this) too noisy, crowded, polluted and dirty. Novi Sad is a different world as is much of Vojvodina. From what we saw, Montenegro is very nice, but for us, it's just a place to vacation. What we lack here in the states is the whole outdoor caffe culture, we have waiting in line at a drive thru @ Starbucks. You are living my dream, getting out of the suburbs and being able to walk everywhere, safely.

[@BJovke]

Actually Google translate was more correct than the waiter when translating "Kombinat" as a word. It doesn't mean "factory". It means "made of combined things". But traditionally this name was given to factories which combined multiple production technologies, in Vojvodina typically breeding of animals and crops and making final products like soup, mustard, mayonnaise, sossages and so on. So it is a word for factory in Serbian but without the background story behind the word you simply can't know that.

[@rangamurali7667]

Great vibe, excellent market, cafes! We have a pug as we plan for such retirement and wander about, how easy was that to get your pets moved with you guys to that place?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

There is some paperwork involved. The best thing to do is get with your veterinarian and ask if they offer international health certificates. If they do not, ask if they can refer you to anyone. You will have to have an international health certificate for Serbia. The good thing is that Serbia requires very little other than the international health certificate and the rabies vaccination being up-to-date. In contrast, numerous other countries require several additional vaccinations. You may also wish to review the USDA Aphis website. Serbia is probably one of the easiest European countries to bring your dog to. Hopefully, your pug is small enough to fly with you inside the plane. If not, that breed unfortunately is banned for cargo with several airlines. I’m not sure of your timeline, but if you are looking at at least three months from now, I would advise you to consider the rabies titer test. This test is not extremely cheap but it will help you tremendously in seeing the continent. If you plan to travel outside of Serbia with your pug, going to an EU country and getting the EU pet passport will be very beneficial. We chose to go to Bulgaria and get the pet Passports. They were $40 for two of them. That is very inexpensive. It is a wonderful thing to have. The rabies titer test will make this so much easier. You must make sure you have all vaccination records with you.If you visit countries like Montenegro which is considered a high rabies country and then you try to go to an EU country, that is where the rabies titer and pet passport will be invaluable. The rabies titer will be required to travel from montenegro to an EU country. I hope this helps and I hope it is clear. If you have further questions just let me know.

Belgrade steals a lot of money from smaller towns and cities with mafia like regime. Everything is centralized and local communities have zero power.

[@hypatiatv421]

@@uroskostic8570 Regarding centralization, I agree that there should be more freedom for cities and municipalities. Also, should be more freedom for municipalities of city of Belgrade. Belgrade is very centralised also. About the stealing. The population of Belgrade makes up 25% of the population of Serbia and Belgrade receives 4% of the money from the central budget for cities and municipalities. That number dropped from 7 to 4 percent 15 years ago. For example Novi Sad makes up 5% of population and receives 7% of money, Niš makes up 3-4% and receive almost 7%... What is main problem then?, main problem is a people. Lot of people on one place attracts other people to come to live there. Lot of people means big chances your business will be succesful.

How about vaccinations? c) How / what is the local produce? What kind of fruits and vegetables grow there and/or are produced there? d) How's the winter in the Novi Sad region? and a last one: e) how's the medical situation? Are there doctors (dentists, GP, etc) who are up to date in their medical education/equipment? And finally f) how do you get to Novi Sad? 700 km by car, or plane or train? Thanks.

This week it's around 200. The worst we had was around 10000 a day a few months ago. But now it's pretty relaxed. Still, to enter Serbia, look up the Entry requirements. www.mfa.gov.rs/en/citizens/travel-serbia/covid-19-entry-requirements If you're vaccinated, just bring confirmation. If, you'll have to bring covid test results, or risk being quarantined here.

Did you folks happen to come across a Home Depot or anything similar on your visits? Thanks

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes, each country has their own version of Home Depot. I cannot remember the name for the chain in Serbia but I do remember seeing it.

Small typo: If your looking for a place in Europe to live or retire Serbia may be an option, stay tuned and follow along. Should be -> "If you're" Anyways thanks for the new video just digging into it now!

Fixed, thanks 😊

I’m part African descent, American living in Koreatown Los Angeles since 1995. SOLELY because of the way they have persecuted me here in California over the last 33 years (moved out here in ‘89 from Massachusetts), I’m just looking for somewhere beautiful that has no (or very few) Asians or Latinos who have persecuted me and discriminated against me for absolutely no reason. I know some Russian and have travelled there before - and experienced zero discrimination in Russia. so looking at this area of the world. Will be leaving USA in 6 years with a nice pension (by Eastern European standards) ❤🇷🇺

Best of luck to you.

Share the truth about our country, we need you to do that, help us, we are represented in the west in movies like bad guys, and in everything... So sad...

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We try ❤️🇷🇸

[@prika2000]

Looks really, really good. I also have a (50 pounds) dog, but I never travelled with her. How much do you pay for airplane tickets for your dogs?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We are hopefully done flying them now that we have a car. Arya is now to large to go in the cabin. Airlines varied from $50 to $250. We did direct flights on Air Serbia the last flight, they don’t have pets in cargo and had to be under 8kg in cabin. We wish the airlines were more pet friendly.

[@prika2000]

@@WarrenJulieTravel So Arya will not travel to Ecuador, or anywhere else in Latin America? It sounds like you decided to settle in Serbia? Is that right?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

@@prika2000 We have not settled in a location, we like Novi Sad a lot though, we plan on being in Europe for the next 5-10 years exploring. We are in Ukraine now, we don’t plan on the dogs flying again in the foreseeable future. Arya has now been to eight countries and her travel continues. ❤️🐕

[@laurayale369]

So buy another place in Novi Sad and air bnb both units when you aren't there. I will be your first renter at either! How do I get to Novi Sad? Fly into where? Bus to Novi Sad?

[@chilechichich465]

Belgrade airport is located approximately 60 km from Novi Sad.

[@laurayale369]

@@WarrenJulieTravel I am disappointed. Have you thought of subletting your Kotor place while you are off traveling?

[@Burevestnik9M730]

I think portions are too big. In Spain, they split a regular meal worth 18eur into three pieces and sell each for 6eur. In Serbia, such split meals could go for 2-3eur. Of course, who likes Serbian krkanluk will stick to the whole meal.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

The portions are huge, we split quite often. 👍

[@irenaspilea4548]

Great video! Question : When you've mentioned the cost for a month, is it for 2 persons?

[@zokipopovic]

Yes

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes it is.

Thanks 😊

[@hosam2011]

Great insight as usual ,, I'm considering Serbia or Montenegro as second home and getting permanent residency ,,but I don't know which is better in term of taxes ,banking system ,cost of living , bureaucracy ,paper works ..etc ,it would be great if you give us some comparison

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We did residency videos on both please check them out. There are a lot of variables to consider.

Just seen this video and I have never watched your chanel. Montenegro is nice but I wouldn't choose to live there I rather live in Novi Sad. Have you been to Belgrade. I am Serbian and dont like to live in UK, soon we can we will move back to my town.

Yes we visited Belgrade. Novi Sad is special to us though.

[@jimizuma]

As a foreigner buying a house in Serbia. Will your spouse and children also receive residence permit?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes, I believe that is the case. Check out our Serbia Residency video, contact Nemanja the attorney in that video if you have questions. His contact is in that video description.

[@lightning6718]

The bedrooms have very low ceilings. It’s not comfortable to stay or sleep in the low ceiling rooms.

How long is winter there?

[@reqontra]

Maybe a couple of days with snow lately. The last two winters were so mild that I didn't have to change my summer tires. But there were also years with -20°C, when the Danube got frozen. People were skating and playing on ice then. Even then the freezing temperatures didn't take longer than 2 months. But as I said, nowadays it's quite mild and short.
