I went on her concert 2022 in Macedonia, and still can't believe how good it was... melem za dusha...u srce me pogodi!

Hi everyone, i have read a lot about your culture and i found it really interesting, you are so cool!!! Thats why i decided to find out how you treat rus people like me, because it seems to me that they dont really like us there. Just please dont judge me by my political views. If possible, ill come and be a good guest who will try to eat everything you give me and even tell something to you. (Bureks are very yummy, I liked it)

I just saw like 4 on the sidewalk one after another and remembered collecting them as a kid with friends.

Also countries wich were never a part of yugoslavia can answer.

In Croatia, Brač takes that title!

Anyone else find this gets old? Like sort of goes with the whole Russian / Eastern European thing. We come from a small village; our men are drunks and we have third world stuff going on.

I spent a month in Zagreb a year ago and it was a positively thriving intellectual central European capital. More bookstores per capita than the more “civilized” west, libraries, cafe culture etc.

It just sort of irks me.

I'd state a few examples . Starting with Croatia -They have tensions with Serbia ( ofc ) Montenegro, Bosnia .

Bosnia obviously has issues with Serbia and bosnian serb parties don't get along well with Croatia either .

Greece has tensions with Albania , Macedonia ( not a lot anymore though I think ) and Turkey ofc .

Albania has tensions with Serbia and Greece .

Serbia has tensions with Croatia, Bosnia and Albania/kosovo .

I may have missed a few as this list isn't all inclusive .

I’m a 29 year old American born and raised, but I’ve always strongly identified with my Dalmatian heritage. I speak the dialect fluently (though I still mess up the padeži), and I understand the Dalmatian speech both sets of my grandparents use (from around the Zadar area, both the islands and the villages/selos around Zadar).

Both sets of grandparents grew up in what was then Yugoslavia. My mother was born in America to immigrants, and my father immigrated before the collapse, but they have always identified as Dalmatian Croatians.

I’ve always know that the language I speak and learned is quite different from standard Croatian. But in recent years I’ve realized I often find it easier to understand Serbian, Montenegrin, or even Bosnian content/media than Croatian content/media, even though I don’t read Cyrillic. The words and phrasing just feel more familiar.

I know there was a stronger push after the breakup of Yugoslavia for the Zagreb-based standard, but I’ve noticed the difference much more lately.

I use the usual Italian-influenced Dalmatian words (šugaman instead of ručnik, pomidor instead of rajčica, vešta instead of haljina, pijat instead of tanjur, etc.), which most Dalmatians do. But I also say things like “iljada” instead of “tisuća,” which I think is more common on the Serbian side.

Recently I came across “obilježene obljetnice” in Croatian media and had to look it up. I would have immediately understood “godišnjice koje se slave.” This kind of thing has been happening a lot.

I have no interest in starting any political arguments, I’m just describing my experience as a heritage speaker. Has anyone else (especially other diaspora or coastal/island speakers) noticed something similar?

Serbia has awakened, and the student movement has achieved success. Which Balkan country do you think will awaken next?

First of all I’d like to congratulate the Students List for their win! I was watching from home yesterday and i couldn’t even begin to understand how it must feel! I’m so happy for you🫶🏼

Secondly i wanted to learn serbian cause my gf is from Paraćin soooo i was wondering if you knew about anything that i could look up online and just watch? I’m talking kids shows, movies, videos,… anything will do really

Thank u in advance :D

Is there a chance that the Balkans can now truly move forward with integration into the EU?

Will the Student List of Serbia work harder on finding the still-missing family members of the Albanians from the last war?

Vucic's government was jailing anyone showing humanity and providing information about the mass graves!

Is there a chance to see improvement in this case too?

Will this long war be settled at last?

Is it to be expected more compassion and humanity will come from a party formed mainly from academia!? Or is it to much to yearn for??

I mean the people would get shot at, but I mean nothing lasts forever. Most countries started with an aristocracy in some form?

Currently in Banff, Canada 🇨🇦 and was super stoked when I saw that there was a Balkan restaurant, as I tried all kinds of burek in Albania and they all still live in my head rent-free 1.5 years later. This restaurant, however, did not have any, which made me question its origin and whether there are just more popular Greek dishes out there than burek.

Also, where can I find the best burek in the Balkans?

EDIT: Thank you all for the clarification! I actually found a spinach burek under ‘spanakopita’ on the menu

How Serbia looks like for a Czech, who's never been there before?

Serbia was, geo-politically, kinda pro Erdogan (despite also maintaining traditionally decent relations w/ Greece).

Current results as of October 26th 2026 12:35 PM CEST

1. Students - 140
2. SNS - 104

Amount of people that voted (currently) - 4,212,509 (97.0% of the polls recorded)

Required seats for a majority: 126

(For comparison, Vucic following the 2023 Elections only won 110 seats but formed a coalition government)

Vucic conceded defeat
(I am editing this from time to time)

Edit 2: I made a slight mistake and accidentally showed SNS having a majority, when at the time of me editing (prior to now) they had lost their majority

Edit 3 (06:44 AM 26 Oct 2026): You do not know how much pain and misery I alongside many others have gone through after 14 years of his dictatorship

Not trying to trigger anyone, genuinely just curious, what does this victory mean for Kosovo? What’s their stance on the issue, and what can we expect going forward?

I’ve seen claims (mostly from Albanian sources) that Serbia has carried out a form of “administrative ethnic cleansing” in the Presevo Valley, things like undercounting Albanians in censuses, administrative pressure, economic neglect, or policies that encourage emigration and change the demographic balance without open violence.

Is there any evidence for this? How do local Albanians describe the situation, and what do Serbian authorities or local Serbs say in response? Looking for facts, numbers, and sources rather than slogans from either side.

Hey dear Serbians,

How is your election going ? apparently the turnout is very high.

What are your expectations ?
