Tracking Down Serbia's Danube River Pirates
Рет қаралды 547,368
8 жыл бұрынVICE Serbia explores how pirates, mostly through deals made with international boat crews, illegally load off oil, ores or fertilizers that they later sell on black market. Such activities are often followed with great risks and violence between rival gangs is quite common.
The Danube flow through Serbia is 600 kilometers long and a lot of international transport goes along the river. Serbia has been blacklisted by a number of international companies because of illegal river trade or, more commonly said, piracy.

Well, actually... he said both... the exact sentence was "iz vašeg iskustva, kako biste rekli nezvanično", which most people would translate to "based on your experience and speaking off the record", though to be fair, "nezvanično" does not really holds the same weight as "off the record", it's more like "unofficially", if that makes any sense... source: native Serbian speaker :)

Generally, all factors considered, people categorize it as belonging to southeast Europe (Balkans), with the northern province Vojvodina belonging to central Europe, which is way more accurate culturally. If you're gonna separate Europe in half based on culture, it is still east, so you are still right but for the wrong reasons. The distinction is more prominent in Europe i guess.
