Hello,
I am thinking of moving to Belgrade from D.C. but am undecided. I have heard positive and negative things. On the positive side, great atmosphere, food is tasty and fresh, the people are friendly and open. On the negative, the pollution from factories and cars, unreliable bus system, and a society that favors smokers. The latter doesn't seem like a big deal, but I'm thinking I couldn't live in apartment building where someone smoked. It's not just about me, but I couldn't stand the thought that kids would be exposed to it and it would be accepted. But then my mind suddenly jumps to things like walnut pie, kebabs, burek, and fresh paprikas every day--and I want to get on the plane. The surrounding forests look like a dream too and the thought of getting away on the weekend to monasteries and mountains. Like I said: undecided.
