Well that's one thing you can get that's less expensive than here. I live in New York, and a pack of Marbs costs $10.00!

Koliko ja znam, koriste oruzje iz Srbije (mada im je glavno pesadijsko naoruzanje FN F2000 cini mi se)


Not to be rude, for people not speaking Serbian, Bosn1ac asked me if Slovenians use Serbian or domestic firearms, and I answered that I think it's from Serbia, but their main issue rifle is FN F2000

Damn, hotties everywhere !

I wonder, is Russian language spoken or understood by Serbian people ?
Link Posted: 1/18/2015 3:37:08 PM EDT
[#12]
Honestly, not really. It can be understood a bit (some words are similar, both languages are Slavic) but people seldom speak Russian. I had to study it in elementary school for 4 years, and my Russian is REALLY bad.

ok thanks Trooper.
I'm thinking about learning a 3rd language, both Serbian (if its whats called "Yugo"?) and Russian could be usefull to me, tough choice!
Link Posted: 1/18/2015 3:54:18 PM EDT
[#14]
Yeah, it's Serbian (during the times of Yugoslavia, it was called Serbo-Croatian). Both Serbian and Russian are hard to learn (easier than Chinese etc) but still quite hard. Fun fact- Serbian s quite useful if you go to Greece over the summer, since they are used to our tourists, pretty much everyone can understand you

Me and my family noticed some words translate over or are very similar in languages like Polish.

Yeah, it's shared with most if the Slavic languages (Russian, Ukranian, Macedonian). You can grasp the meaning of.a.sentence even if you dont speak the language

Top one is REALLY obscure, our Gendarmerie got some limited supplies to test (It's a cadpat/marpat variation) but they are quite hard to find these days (100$+ for shirt+pants). Answered your PM for other camo :)

Oh, and that pushing-the-jeep picture is actually an official part of the training in the army here

Just found the thread, lots of interesting pics and information throughout, thanks for taking the time to post it all.  

Obviously nightclubbing is popular, along with drinking, and I may have missed it earlier in the thread, if so it was because I was more skipping to your posts than reading some of the stuff people were interjecting that was not on topic... so basically 3 questions...

1)  You posted pics of the weapons manufactured locally at the show with the armored vehicles all around, yet none of those are available for purchase locally?

2)  In the picture you posted of the special forces, it looked like they were actually carrying M4 pattern carbines, not the M21(?) that was posted later, are they actually using NATO compatible weapons?

3)  One of your SBOTD is wearing a pot leaf shirt, what kind of drug culture exists over there, as in pot, meth, cocaine, prescription drugs, and how much is regulated or illegal as opposed to okay to do?

Thanks.

In the World Misery Index posted above it seems that your home is not such a great place to live. Do you feel that ranking on the index is realistic and if so why?

Woohooo, real questions :D

1)They are manufactured locally (Zastava Arms) but you are limited in what you can buy (less models than in the UK, only hunting/sporting guns. Getting a licence here takes time and money, and we have a stupid law about buying ammo (you can buy 50 rounds yearly per pistol, 60 per rifle) so even if you jump through all the hoops, law limits you to... 15 minutes of range time per year?
And prices are really high for our standards (average paycheck here is ~450-500$ per month, Glock costs around $1000, 1$ per round).

2) Yeah, we use a lot of NATO gear, because our government tries to "integrate" with NATO, so we have some units wearing ACU, some using M4 rifles, some use G36, specops guys use whatever they want (they literally use the same stuff as your SOCOM guys, including SCAR/Hk416/Barrett/Sako etc, which is ridiculous considering our budget).
Also, some of our forces have Humvees donated by the US/NATO, but those are mostly for show (our roads are too restrictive)

3) Nothing is legal, and everything depends your luck. Friend of a friend got 3 years in jail for getting caught with 2 joints (~1 gram of pot) and I know a guy that got caught smuggling ~35 pounds of hash and he got 10 months, got out in 8.
That being said, most common stuff here is pot, followed by cocaine, amphetamines and MDMA. But prices are high when compared to the US, even locally grown stuff goes for about $12 for a gram of pot.

It's not that bad, if you have a job. I mean it is BAD, but not Iraq/Somalia/Zimbabwe bad, at least the quality of life. We have flushing toilets and TP, that alone eliminates a lot of countries

Would a high percentage of people move away to another country if given the opportunity? Are jobs hard to come by or is it that jobs can be found but just do not pay a decent wage?

Yeah. Most of my generation for sure.
And for the other thing... Both. For an example, I, as a system administrator, could be earning i guess ~60k in the US (after a year or two), while the only opening that I recently saw here was Field Customer support for a local ISP, with ~$5000 per year. You need a political/family connection to get a good job (local government/state-owned companies), and I have neither. Also, they often dont enforce a lot of labor laws here (because all the big bosses have said connections) so it is really common for a boss to tell you "your paycheck will be 2 months late, if you dont like it, you are free to go".

And for me, the worst problem is that with an average paycheck, it is nigh impossible to start your own life, move out from your parents' place, get a car (I'm talking 15 years old car, only new car my family owned was '91 Yugo 45), go to a vacation for one week every year etc... You just try to make it from paycheck to paycheck

Thanks for answering my questions. It is easy to see starting your life would be very hard without the connections that the more political people have.
Just a idea; is it easy for you to get surplus army camo and web gear? With your computer skills (web site) and some surplus military uniforms/web gear you might be surprised how much you could sell to people here in the States.

It is doable, but shipping from Serbia is insane. Sent some stuff to Saigaman, shipping to CO is ~11$ per pound, and that is the cheap sort, since i was able to squish the package to make it fit a large envelope.
And we are not on the Paypal "good" list, so we can't receive money online, we can only send (so Western union is the only option, and they charge a big fee for sending money). I make custom guitar pedals as a hobby, but I can't sell them anywhere outside Serbia, even with humble prices.
