Gays in Serbia? by msta999

Is it safe for gay or Lesbians to visit Serbia? I was talking to one person, who is a Lesbian, she said she would never go to Serbia, because there is no protection for gay people, made it sound like her life would be in danger.

Kneeland

Well, the Prime Minister is lesbian. the only problem they have with that is like the pride parade. Here you can be what you want to be just don't push or force it on others. Read More

I believe you need a letter from customs about the legal import before you can register the vehicle. Try contacting the customs office in your area. I believe you will have to pay a small amount but not sure how much. I would go there and ask. Most ... Read More

Transferring funds from the US to Serbia is simple once you have the account info (IBAN and BIC). But, several banks do not want American customers due to the reporting requirements the fees will not be cheap. Read More
