Which country is Serbia? Serbia travel guide

Serbia, located in Eastern Europe, is a country in the Balkans. This is a country with a long and complicated history. The war in Yugoslavia once made us remember it vividly. This country, which was destroyed by the west and the United States, is still stubbornly continuing. I would like to share with you the introduction and travel strategy of Serbia.

What is Serbia? Where is it?

Serbia is a major country in the former Yugoslavia, and the "Balkan powder keg", "Sarajevo incident" and "the bombing of China's embassy in Yugoslavia" are all related to it. Serbia is a country that has suffered and is still suffering. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Serbia became an independent country.

The capital of Serbia is Belgrade, which was once the capital of Yugoslavia. NATO bombing, the Croatian war, the Kosovo war, and many disintegration have made this land unrecognizable. And it has happened for nearly 30 years, and the wounds left by the war still cannot be erased.

Serbia is located in the southeast of Europe and is a landlocked country in the Balkans.

The first one is Serbia on the map of Gaud.

The second one comes from Google Maps. The area separated by dashed lines on Google Maps is called Kosovo, which is somewhat similar to Taiwan Province province in China.

We can get a general understanding of the relationship between Serbia and China and the international situation in Serbia.

Serbia's religion, history, culture, nationality, international situation, language, etc.

In Serbia, the Orthodox Church is the main religion that Serbs believe in.

SvetiSava church in Belgrade

Serbia was occupied by the Ottoman Turkish Empire for centuries, so Serbs hated Turkey. But Serbia is still deeply influenced by Turkish culture. For example, Serbian traditional music is like a mixture of Romanian music, Turkish music and Arabic music.

The residents of Serbia are mainly Slavs, and the main ethnic group in Russia is Slavs. Serbia has always been Russia's most loyal partner in history.

Located in the center of Belgrade, it is called Moscow Hotel. This shows the relationship between Serbia and Russia. Desserts here are very cheap.

But in Kosovo, Serbia, the main residents are Albanians and believe in Islam. In recent decades, Kosovars and Serbs have experienced many conflicts and genocide. The conflict continues.

Every time I pass by the Belgrade municipal government, I dare not look at the petitioners, who are holding photos of their relatives who died in the conflict.

Some people still have Russian flags in their hands, hoping that Russia can help them recover Kosovo. In fact, without Russia's help, Serbia's own military strength is enough. But it is impossible to recover Kosovo, because Kosovo independence is supported by Europe and America.

China does not recognize Kosovo, just as Serbia does not recognize Taiwan Province province. A friend of mine in Taiwan Province Province said that she didn't need a visa to go anywhere in Europe except Serbia, and she spent a lot of money to get this visa.

"Did you watch the news? China and Serbia will be visa-free next year. "

"As expected, our chairman went to your place to visit the vegetable market."

Starting from 20 17 15, China passport holders can stay in Serbia for 30 days without a visa.

Friends who are interested in traveling to Serbia can ask me any questions.

In Serbia, people speak Serbian, which is a kind of Slavic language. There are Cyrillic and Latin versions, and now the Latin version is widely used. Serbian is similar to Russian, Polish and other languages. It's similar to Croatian and Bosnian.

In Serbia, the English penetration rate is not very high, but it is higher than that of Italian, China and other countries.

Serbia's economy

Serbia, which confronted the European Union and was bombed by NATO, has been in a downturn.

More than 20 years ago, Little Walker was so hungry that he took10 million dinars from his mother and ran to the woman's house selling bread.

"The price has gone up, and now only 50 million dinars can buy a piece of bread."

"But only 5 million yesterday."

199 1- 1995, dinar banknotes in the period of inflation.

The currency used in Serbia is the dinar.

On the streets of Serbia, currency exchange points can be seen everywhere, and euros can be converted into dinars at any time. People here think it is safe to change dinars into euros, which is convenient for going abroad or worrying about the outbreak of war again. Now RMB 1 yuan is equal to 17 dinars. But they don't exchange RMB.

People's living standards

Maria used to be one of the best students in the school, because she believed in the college admissions teacher's "My God, Maria, what you drew was really beyond my expectation! You are a genius. Don't let your talent become a regret! "

So Maria became a designer. On 20 16, Maria got her first job after graduation. 250 euros a month, you are not mistaken, it is about 1900 RMB. She lives in Bay City, the capital and largest city of this country. Maria's 70-year-old father earns 800 euros a month, which is the industry he has been engaged in all his life.

Where Maria used to work, I like to walk here, which is probably the most modern place in Bay City.

Melissa is also a good student and became an artist after graduation. Making ends meet, she chose to be an English teacher to teach online classes, but she still made ends meet and now lives with her mother. Melissa has the bluest and clearest eyes I have ever seen. I have seen her works of art, too, and they are so exquisite that I am shocked.

There is no subway in the northern part of the capital, so there is no need or money to build it.

Many places here have been sold by the government to foreign enterprises.

For example, the Dubai Tower under construction was sold to the United Arab Emirates, which may be the tallest building in Serbia after completion, so it attracted many people's attention.

But Maria, who went to China, said that there are hundreds of Dubai buildings under construction in any second-and third-tier cities in China. I said, "Have you ever heard of real estate speculation? What about real estate? "

Serbia's price

Such a box of cherries is probably RMB in 5 yuan, which is cheaper in China. But I never buy it.

I like the restaurant in the center of the capital. A meal for two is about 50 yuan.

The bread I bought in the supermarket is 6 yuan, which is enough for me to eat for a day.

Pink bus, I think the bus in the north city is more expensive. The government sold the right to operate the bus to a private company. About 6 yuan a trip. The train ticket from Beicheng to Novi Sad takes about two hours as long as 29 yuan.

I don't know. I haven't stayed in a hotel. I think it should be similar to the housing prices in third-tier cities in China.

Delicious!

This dish is called Musaka, and its main ingredients are potatoes, meat sauce and sour cream.

This is made by Bogdan. He is a cook, and he is first-rate. His dream is to work and live in China and learn China cooking. However, he has never been able to apply for a work visa, probably because he is not fluent in English and no hotel has hired him. I hope a hotel will make him an offer this winter.

Serbian traditional cuisine cannot be separated from this!

Carney Chili powder

There are many ways, such as adding pork and cheese to cook. That's great.

They say that the traditional Serbian breakfast is also an appetizer.

There are bacon, yogurt and cheese in the picture, and the rest are kajmak, pihtije, Watch, Boga? Ah, Rosani, Girval,

Rakija, I'm sorry, I don't know how to express the rest in Chinese. Most of them are related to meat. Serbs like meat very much.

Rakija is a unique wine and fruit brandy in Serbia.

Similar to Russian vodka, strong liquor.

Well, they are all Slavs.

When having dinner with Maria's high school classmates for the first time, they chose a great restaurant downtown. The waiter gave each of us a glass of Rakija. After showing French and German, he said he would try this wine here, but he didn't seem to speak Chinese. I said I didn't want to drink, and then the waiter told me for a long time how the wine was made, how the materials were chosen, how complicated the technology was and how good the taste was. Maria, they told me that it doesn't matter, you don't want to drink it. After dinner, they said it was their treat and that I was a guest and could not pay. Gee, after listening to it, my mind was moved. They were as poor as me and invited me to dinner. Then I drank Rakija cup when my brain was hot. They almost applauded.

That was the first time I drank, and I haven't drunk since.

Then everyone became friends. But I also know that if I don't drink that wine, we will still be friends.

The dinner that day was something like this.

Serbia's fruit

Serbia is rich in natural resources, diverse in fruits and very high in quality!

Serbia in May, cherry cherry world.

If you want to eat, climb to the tree next to Maria's house and eat. No money.

Blackberry in the fruit market, this is not a mulberry.

I picked the raspberries myself!

I made my own simple breakfast, fried eggs, bread, apple juice and blueberries. There are many blueberries in July. By the way, apple juice! The juice in Serbia is pure and tastes super good. I never eat apples, but I like apple juice very much. The juice in the supermarket here is about RMB 4 per liter to 6 yuan, and I like cherry juice and apple juice best.

fruit tree

One?

There are many things.

Then I put them together in a fruit bowl.

The scenery of Serbia, as well as eating, drinking and having fun!

Belgrade

Castle of Kalemegdan

Sitting at the top of the castle at night.

Hang your feet on the wall and enjoy the night view of the North City.

Overlooking a part of Bay City, there is an equestrian field in the middle.

You can learn to ride horses here. Not expensive.

This place is called Ada, which is a lake formed after the sava river was cut off. There are many water recreation projects.

I like basking in the sun here. There are not many people in summer, but there is a nudist area, so be careful to avoid it. Why? There are no naked handsome guys and beautiful women, only grandfathers and old ladies.

In Belgrade, it flows through two big rivers, one is sava river and the other is Danube, which flows through half of Europe!

Swan on the Danube River

Zemont on the Danube

Walk across Ada Bridge

Night view of the Danube!

And! You can go to the floating restaurant on the Danube for dinner! Super romantic! But remember to make a reservation

We didn't make a reservation, and all the seats next to us were reserved, so we had to sit in the middle of the restaurant.

Bogdahn and Maria are looking at the menu.

Fortunately, this table didn't come, so we sat here.

While eating, I watched the sunset set a little bit.

On the Danube, a pale pink sky.

The best Chinese restaurant in Serbia is not in the capital, but in Novi Sad.

If one day you miss Chinese food.

I went there once with my friends in winter.

The church in Novi Sad is also worth seeing.

Write a special article about future Serbian tourism.

Located in Serbia, Eastern Europe, the average face value of women kills Britain and other countries. There are many supermodels in Serbia, and miranda kerr is also of Serbian descent.

This model is also called Maria.

By the way, I have more than one friend named Maria. Maria is a very common name in Cyprus, not Maria, but мари? Maria а

Once Maria and I were shopping in the street, and suddenly Maria disappeared, so I shouted "мари? а "As a result, half the women in the street looked at me, so I ran.

The average height of young men in Serbia is 182. The boys in Serbia are much taller and more handsome than the boys I saw on the streets of Germany and Russia, probably because there are few immigrants.

A handsome Serb flew with us from UAE to Serbia.

In Serbia, almost everyone is friendly, at least the people I meet are very kind to me.

Once I went home from a nightclub in Belgrade until 1 am, and had no money in my pocket, so I had to wait for the night train, but I couldn't figure out the bus route, so I asked a tall Serbian girl on the roadside. She said she didn't know, she was from another city. As soon as I thanked her for leaving, she stopped me and said she wanted to check it with her mobile phone. When she found out, she said she would take me. After arriving at the bus stop, she asked another beautiful little sister if she was going to the university town. Another little sister said she was waiting for the bus, too, and we were going the same way. The tall little sister left me and this beautiful little sister and went back.

After getting on the night bus, my beautiful little sister told me not to worry. She will call me when I arrive at the station, even though she didn't get off at the same station as me.

After getting off at the station together, she repeatedly confirmed whether I knew the way, and then she went back. She missed the station to see me off. Very touched.

But in the eyes of foreigners,

Serbs are another kind of existence.

German

"Where are you? I travel in an RV. "

"I am in Serbia, come here to play with me!"

"I don't want my car torn down and my tires stolen and sold."

Nordic

"Where are you going next, home?"

"No, I should go to Serbia."

"I don't comment on this behavior. You have always been a madman. "

Italian

"Are you coming to Italy?"

"No, I will stay in Serbia."

"Can you stand the Serbs? They are barbaric and don't pay attention to personal hygiene. "

"You are stupid and dirty!"

Most of my friends know my reaction after I went to Serbia.

Serbia was hacked by the western media as badly as China.

But believe me, the Serbs are fine.

There are no refugees in Serbia, only passing refugees.

Me and some volunteers, they work in refugee camps on the Serbian border. Those refugees could not enter Austria, so they were stationed on the Serbian border.

Refugees coming to Serbia: What the hell, so poor?

Then I left in a hurry.

in addition

Pay attention to the gypsies in Serbia.

I can't stop talking. I am most afraid of seeing them in Serbia.

I will write in detail one day, but I will only meet them and avoid them anyway.

Serbia is now a parliamentary democracy and does not belong to the European Union. The current President Aleksandar Vui? Me? )。

About the president

Vucic's vote rate is extremely high. Just counting more than half of the votes, among several candidates, his vote rate is about 60%. He was sworn in as president at the end of May this year.

It seems to have won the overwhelming advantage of the people's hearts, but it is not.

After the war, Serbia's education system was not perfect, and most of the population were poor people in the village, who could not afford a good education. In addition, well-educated people may not be able to find jobs in Serbia, even low-paying jobs.

"Good students, smart people and rich people have all run away, and everything is better than here." When having dinner with friends in a restaurant, they laugh at themselves like this.

"You can see us here because we are too stupid to go abroad, hahahahahaha."

After the selection results came out, all my friends responded:

"He won, I knew it. Seeing his face makes me want to throw up. He will continue to exploit the Serbian people. "

"He only controls the media, corrupts, makes promises to the poor who have no culture and opinions, and deceives them. He will bring them a better life. Those poor people can't afford smart phones, and they can only believe one lie after another that he staged on TV. "

"No, I have to do something."

After the voting results appeared, a large-scale protest broke out in the Serbian capital. There were also some protests in other cities, which lasted for more than a month. Many people were arrested by the police.

Maria's brother Walker in Norway also came back to join the protest of Maria and their parents. In the first protest, angry Serbs crowded the city center, with about 800,000 to100,000 people.

The next day, on TV, "Yesterday, some citizens who were dissatisfied with the election came to the center of Belgrade. There are about 2000 to 5000 people on the scene. Next "

"Dragon, see? Do you want to make money in Serbia? Be a politician! "

They told me.

Current situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Serbia

It's miserable, just like Russia. Ha ha ha ha.

A country's tolerance for LGBT is related to its economic development, education level and religion. Serbia is not a developed country.

I asked Maria if I could wear my pink vest to the nightclub.

"Of course, I am a Slavic woman and can play ten at a time."

"But the people who want to hit me are also Slavs."

Then you can only wear a straight coat before you go out.

If you are particularly gay, don't worry about whether someone will stare at you, because someone may directly rush to hit you.

There are few large LGBT parties in Beicheng once a year. We are all ready, but yelena doesn't agree, even though her girlfriend wants to go. Yelena was worried that a homophobe would walk in and suddenly took out a knife and stabbed someone at the party. We thought it was reasonable, and then dragged her that night. The security check is very strict. If you want to register, you must also open the bag, not check drugs, check knives and guns.

But the nightlife in Belgrade is still great, and so do people who don't drink.

A day when I have nothing to do.

"Maria, can you drive me to Kosovo?"

"Then we have to drive the tank, if you don't want to be burned alive in the car or be shot into a sieve with me."

"Then I'll go alone."

Then I called the embassy: "Can I go to Kosovo? Do I need to apply for a visa to Kosovo? Is there such a thing as a Kosovo visa? "

A Serbian female staff member: "You can go to Kosovo without a visa, because you know that Kosovo is Serbian territory."

"How can I go alone? What bus should I take? How did you come back? "

"Well, you can, well, I'll ask my colleague in China and call you later."

A few minutes later, an embassy staff member called me from China: "I can't go. There are border checks. What are you doing in Kosovo alone? " ? Do you have a Kosovo visa or an EU Schengen visa? "

"In order to travel, I have a Schengen visa."

"It's a little unsafe for you to go alone. If you go, you won't come back, and there are no trains and cars. If you must go, find someone to drive you. "

"all right"

"Maria, can you take me to Kosovo with a tank?"

"I can't drive a tank."

"You Slavs can't even drive a tank when drinking water?"

"When are you leaving?"

After my friends in Serbia knew I was writing this, they insisted on reading the Serbian version. I will finish writing this Serbian version when I have time.

May the friendship between China and Serbia last forever.

Last year, when I was in senior three, I dreamed of becoming a diplomat.

I am not good enough.

On the problem of English popularization rate

I live in Belgrade, and I can only speak English myself, not Serbian. The popularity of young people is ok. People who go to shopping malls, hotels, supermarkets and cafes can basically speak English. There are also many people who have good English. There is no inconvenience at ordinary times. If you really want to meet someone who can't speak English at all, you can use Google to translate some simple words to communicate.

The question of whether tourism can make money.

This is hard to say. I'm not tourism professionals. However, since Serbia granted China visa-free, I really feel that there are more China tourists on the street. In fact, Serbia can be used as a transit point for surrounding tourism. After all, Belgrade is the largest city in the Balkans, and all major airlines fly to Belgrade from their respective hub airports, such as Turkish Airlines, Aeroflot, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Air France, Alitalia and so on.

And recently it seems that Hainan Airlines will open a direct flight from Beijing to Belgrade (via Prague). After flying to Serbia, if you have multiple Schengen round-trip visas, you can go to neighboring countries for a few days, such as Budapest, Hungary (3.5 hours by car) or Vienna, Austria (6-7 hours by car), Croatia (4 hours by car to Zagreb, 5-6 hours to Sixteen Lakes, known as Jiuzhaigou in Europe), and fly 1 hour to Dubrovnik, one of the locations of Game of Thrones.

Some people in the comment area say that they have time to write more, but I haven't decided what to write yet. What do you want to ask? Say it in the comments section. I'll try my best to write it.

The following original answer

I'm so excited to be invited to answer questions for the first time.

Thank you for your invitation (I didn't write a typo)

I have lived in Serbia for two years, and my company is stationed here. I live in Belgrade most of the time and occasionally go to neighboring cities and countries (mainly other countries in the former Yugoslavia and Hungary).

What kind of country is Serbia?

Let me start with Serbia. As the main ethnic group in the former Yugoslavia, Serbs were very lost in the years after their separation. This is a low tide in this country. In the early 1990s, after Slovenia and Croatia declared their independence one after another, during the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, due to ethnic conflicts, Serbs, Croats and Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina broke out with the support of their respective ethnic groups. The Bosnian Serbs established the "Republic of Serbia" with the support of the Serbian nation after the war and have been one of the three major republics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia (then called Yugoslavia) was bombed again because of the Kosovo issue. There are still many bombed sites in Belgrade, including the monument where the former China Embassy in Yugoslavia was located. After these two wars, Serbia (called Serbia after the separation of Montenegro in 2006) has lost its influence in the region, and its economy is not so good. It is far less than Slovenia and Croatia, which separated from the former Yugoslavia in the west, and has also lost its seaport and become a landlocked country. However, it is not the first time that Serbia has lived in the Balkans as a nation for so many years. May they regain their former glory.

The biggest feeling of living here in the past two years is that ethnic issues are a big problem, which is not good for anyone, whether it is the main ethnic group or the so-called ethnic minorities.

When communicating with many ordinary Serbs now, many people also miss the era of the former Yugoslavia.

Mobile phone code words, logic is also very chaotic, just some of their own feelings.

I couldn't find a photo of the monument of China's embassy in Yugoslavia on my mobile phone, so I found one on the Internet.
