Words to Describe Serbia
Words to Describe Serbia

We all know the impact that media outlets can have on your internal mental image you have of a place and people. The media does what their corporate sponsors want them to do. They cannot be trusted! The days of fair and balanced news are HISTORY! We, the people of the world, need to unite and bring back sanity to this insane world!
I talk to a lot of foreigners that come to Serbia. Every one of them has the same preconceived view of Serbia and Serbian people. I decided to ask many of them what words they would have used to describe this country and its people before their visit and after their visit. Here are some of the top answers:
BEFORE VISITING SERBIA
AFTER VISITING SERBIA
Isn’t it amazing how much you learn when you step outside of your comfort zone and explore with your own eyes? Serbia is worth a visit! The most expensive part is your ticket. After that, you can live like a king for around $600 a month! BOOK NOW!!!
A few friends and I have started a new website that is dedicated to EVERYTHING SERBIAN! I would love to invite each and every one of you to join us! It is called Say Serbia. There is a security question on the entrance page. The answer is “baba.”
We decided to do this to show the world all that Serbia has to offer. It will be a place where Serbs and the MASSIVE diaspora can get together and chat, provide information on your history, music, culture, art, food and people. We also have an excellent section with foreigner reviews of your great nation! Please help us make this site a success! It was made from the hearts of a few guys that are very passionate about your country and your people. Please feel free to create your own discussions, add photos and info on your city, add videos, etc… but please avoid the negative things. This is a positive site for those that are interested in visiting. We have BIG plans for the future. It is currently in the beta testing mode. Check us out and if you have any suggestions, comments, complaints, just message me!
Prva TV’s show Exploziv was here in Sremska Mitrovica for eight hours with me on Tuesday.They are doing an episode on me that will air next week. The site will be mentioned in there and will also be in 24 sata in a week or so! HELP US SHOW THE TRUE SERBIA! Hvala puno!!!
VOLIM VAS!!!
