I think you're thinking of Backa Palanka. As for the 90 of the last 180 days. It is not enforced. You can go. After 90 days cross the border and stay for one day in Croatia. And then cross back the next day and you should be fine. Of course ... Read More
$2.50/hour. Is that a joke? by stranac
My cat earns more than that sitting on the window ledge watching the traffic go by.
Thanks romaniac :) I'll take that as a vote of confidence. I don't mind the personal attacks from stranac (I've seen much worse scapegoating in my time) and I don't think they should be censored but ultimately it is the site's ... Read More

Attacking me without quoting text which would corroborate your statements and then saying you refuse to speak anymore is a cheap parlor trick that I do not think will fool anyone, even yourself. An ad hominem based on a strawman. You seem to be ... Read More

To respond " Are you saying $2.50/hour is a fair rate for an US expat living in Serbia or a local Serb?" I don't think prejudice based on nationality has any place here. Íæż½ã½ãs shouldn't think they should make more money because ... Read More

Finally, I do know a girl who knows almost native level English doing translation which makes after taxes and everything considered about $2.50 an hour. So the real market isn't so far off for non native speakers who aren't college ... Read More

Hey stranac, I never said that the market doesn't work out. I just said comparisons with other countries are not faithfully done. That said, $10 an hour for an English teacher is a very great deal in Serbia. I would rather make $10 an hour post ... Read More

I just noticed I typed "fictionalization" meant fractionalization (there's a dictionary.com definition for it but my spell check doesn't seem to recognize the word. Read More
Start a business in Serbia by Cybergreen
Can anyone tell me please How can I start my own business in Serbia? And Is it possible to get PR form that country. Thanks in Advance.
Just because you live in Serbia doesn't mean your business needs to be a Serbian business. Usually cost/tax wise it makes sense to do something else. If you gave a more detailed version of what you plan to do I might be able to have some advice. ... Read More

You got to take in to account a TON of other factors. If you compare Serbia to the US 1. Prices in the US are about twice as high 2. Serbs count their post tax salary, people from the US state their pre-tax salary 3. Serbs have socialized ... Read More

Hey guys, I didn't realize this thread existed. I just created an account and shot off some PMs. I've been in BG for a few years now. I'm an expat living here in Serbia and looking to meet some other expats or locals who speak fluent ... Read More
