I live in Serbia and I can confirm this is the real picture of it. By the way, great photos @gric! Enjoy your stay here!

I'm so glad to hear that @teofilex11. The more I hear about Serbia lately the more I want to visit it.

Don't forget you can smoke here where ever you want :)))

Eastern Europe just sounds better and better.

Do you think Serbia will remain smoke-friendly forever? Has the anti-smoking propaganda machine started making inroads there?

Well, we do have some places where it's forbidden, schools, hospitals, shopping malls - they have at least one coffee bar where addicts can have a smoke while shopping :) But, bars, restaurants, coffee bars...You can smoke where ever you want to. And I think no EU law will change that..We were for centuries over Ottoman empire rule :) And still we have expression when someone is real bad heavy smoker, we say - He smokes like an Turk :) So @winstonalden i think it's time for you and @donnadavisart to start planing trip to this smoke paradise :)))

Do most Serbians speak English as well as you do? Or should I take a crash course in conversational Serbian before we head over?

Some do, some don't at all, but one that don't will kill them selves to help you. There is something crazy about our hospitality :) We just love guest hahaha. No kidding, but in cities most people are fluent in English. And regarding crash course, don't even bother, we have pretty difficult language @winsonalden. But some people manage it, here are my favorite guys singing children song their way on my native language

Thanks Winston! Serbia is definitely worth a trip!
