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.

I've been considering a move to Novi Sad (or nearby) after discovering how beautiful the Orthodox liturgy and chant is at the nearby Kovilj Monastery. Thank you so much for this glimpse into the life there!

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Glad you liked it 😊

[@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.

We have fallen in love with this city. We hope you enjoy it, try to explore Petrovaradin if you can. Warren has a great video on it.

[@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.

[@uroskostic8570]

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. In central part of Belgrade you can open a stone store and it will works fine.

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.

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?

Currently, very safe covid-wise. However, it's slowly picking up and we'll most likely have serious waves in 2-3 months. Last week it was around 100 new cases daily, which is considered pretty safe.

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.

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. 👍

Exactly what i thought lol. Im coming too to scout and live there forever.

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.

@@WarrenJulieTravel I got some surpricing info how expensive housing & heatlhcare are in the US: for example, an MRI scan costs $2600... it is crazy, it is a rip off schema! Here in Seria it costs $200 (or so). OK, to be honest, the labor market is not so great here, so if you want to find a job in Serbia and to work for someone else, you won't end up being satisfied with your life, but if you have money and want to just spend it here (and maybe start your own small business) and live a good life, Serbia is an ideal place to be. It is nothing more than common sense reasoning, so I always wondered why don't more foreigners choose to live in Novi Sad!?

[@youtubeperson9365]

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!

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Fixed, thanks 😊

[@colindante5164]

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.

2021 "there is no 10000 expats living in Novi Sad" 2022 - 200 000 Russians arrive in Serbia out of the blue. One if two most popular places among them is charming Novi Sad. Now it has become quite a dear place - I mean more expensive to live in then it was in the video.

[@snekiuk]

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.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

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

[@Harikejn]

There is one American who lives in Novi Sad. This is his channel: kzbin.info. And also greetings from Vrbas / Novi Sad as well.

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.

I am from Finland, but my roots come from Serbia. I have met more positive and kinder people here in Novi Sad compared to Helsinki. But the parties suck here in Serbia compared to rest of the Europe. There might be some crazy clubs in Belgrade but nothing compared to Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany etc. As a party person, clubs in Novi Sad suck. But the people are very kind and the food / drinks are very cheap you actually enjoy them, because the beer can cost 6-10 euros in Finland, i found beer with 1-1.5 euros in Serbia. At the moment cigarettes cost 8-10 euros in Finland it's just straight robbery. The only thing i don't like in Serbia, especially Novi Sad is that it's super dirty and filled with beggars and poor people who look at you down, because how wealthy you are. Though i found it still easier to get friends in Finland rather than my own country Serbia, because the culture in Serbia is so different. You can get a lot of friends in Finland and the rest of the EU countries by going out to cafes, bars etc. In Serbia you can't even stare the other person without getting into troubles, especially if you even accidentally stare another man's wife or something. The moral is so high in Serbia it's something i value but i also don't like it a lot, no freedom. Feels like people still live in 1950s.
