Why?

​@@m1lst3r89 Let me explain well. Rakija (which is often made from plums.) Although there are also other variants. Which is drunk on several occasions. Especially in connection with holy days. Has to do with how many saints we have in our faith. Which saint is honored can vary considerably per family And holy holidays. Like our Serbian Orthodox Easter. Serbian Orthodox Christmas. And our Serbian Orthodox New Year. Real traditions Real norms and values.. Often it is only when your father-in-law wants to drink rakija. With you. you get his approval to marry his daughter. A real man should be able to handle a little alcohol.. At least according to the real traditional Serbian reasoning. The only reasons why I'm not as traditional as I'd like to be. Is due to the fact that my father was not that traditional based on what he experienced as a child. He often joined me and my sister with my mother in keeping traditions alive. My mother was and is traditional in that respect. I am happy and proud to be of Serbian descent and I wouldn't have it any other way.

@@zokilauda I know all about rakija and what is, I was confused by the statement of the OP. Not every father drinks rakija or offers rakija.

@@m1lst3r89 Although that rarely occurs in Serbia, you do have a point.

You must be very tall.

Should one drink it in one go or not?

Rakija is pretty rough. So if u ain't used to it go slow. Traditionally we shot it

Not just Serbs but whole east Europe. Nobody is Serb you are not people from skies.

​@@completelymindfuckeddepends, if ur are offered as only drink , and u gonna drink only that, u drink it slowly, if its like a toast then u go for a full.But also depends on a region, it could be eve town to town.But generile advice would be either drink like everyone else is in the room or dont.

@@completelymindfucked No.Slow,and with a meal.

Ćao zete, budi dobar i živ bio!

You’re lucky because most Serbian women will not date a non Serbian man

That's cute😊how you both meet?

@@maria17H we were on a Mediterranean cruise together

@@GerMFnU1848Sax time, love, body, protection, gifts. Join Serbian culture.. eat her food. Honour her parents. Don't talk about their wars. Serbian women love babies.

And you don't show her the shawn Connery backhand? Whats wrong with you?

Fiery temper is probably from the italian side.

from where exactly is your father-in-law? have you been to Serbia and talked with current serbian politicians, if not do you plan to come here. i find your views as balanced and reasonable but we all know that countries are not built on it, they are built on interest, as serbian president said "international law died in 1999..." did it ever existed in the first place is my question, if it can be applied only to those who can be forced to respect it, but rest are not obligated like USA or Russia, do we need to reform international laws and how are they going to be executed ?

Look at this guy😂all the time i thought u were against us but u are actually one of us!😂

Pozdrav komso el ima nesto da valjamo na crno zuto ❤

Love for our Greek brothers!🙏♥️ We love here Greek music too!

Aleksandra Tadic Cipka, her song Ludo Ludo has become my number one favorite next to Dostupan😅😊

They are 49% Turks

That's so true, been to Belgrade several times and got into a lot of Serbian music, it's unavoidable :P

🇷🇸❤️🇬🇷

That made me laugh so much. Every Sunday is a praznik and can't do laundry on that day. :)

that is your Serbian name. You are literally never going to escape that. Maybe the younger generations in the family will be more considerate, but still... it's either way

How did you two meet

Damn right. When I marry my woman, I'm only 22, I'll protect and provide and she will be a housewife. That's realistic gender roles

​@@GerMFnU1848Sax you're a G

@@lifebecallin thanks? What is a G?

@@GerMFnU1848Sax so you're telling me you don't know who the TOP G is? 💀

Yeah Hispanic and Serbian match great have same temper hot blood

@@bogoljubdjordjevic7528 yes, I miss her.

Hehe.. As an Indian I really finding it cultural shock..

Hahaha yep that’s typical for a lot of people in ex-Yugoslavian countries 😂 Rakija is also a medicine for us here :)

@@iss2500dear sir, Vienna isn’t an ex Yugoslav country 😅

@@salsadip7453 Dear whoever did I say that? He said that he found Serbian restaurant in Vienna so I was referring to that situation with rakija also hospitality included! I’m from Montenegro and I know very well which countries are the Balkan countries! Read again.

​@@iss2500Dear Sir Isodora (a female name)😅😅😅

@@salsadip7453 but it is full of ex-Yugoslavs.

Although I'm from there but literally I found this Vedio informative

Lol

Srpske zene je monogo lijepe ❤

Ohh that's good to know..

Yeah, it was the same when I was growing up in Serbia as a kid. One morning, I woke up, and my sister wasn't even in the house. I went into my sister's room, and there was her best friend putting on makeup. I asked, 'What are you doing here?' She replied, 'Oh, just running to school, I came to put on some makeup.' I said, 'Okay, see you later.' I went downstairs to the kitchen, and my sister's another friend was opening the kitchen cabinets. She said, 'Hey, where is Plazma? I'm rushing to school, I just need to eat something quickly.' I'm not joking, it was so normal back in Serbia. Now, I've been living in Canada for 20 years since my parents moved here when I was 15. It feels unreal that this was part of my normal life when I was in Serbia.

​@@markospasit sounds fun😊

What do you mean about kisses?

​@@walterbrunswickYeah, usually you wouldn't hug each other, especially if you come to Slava. You will kiss the host three times on the cheeks, from right to left and back to the right one. Hehe. I have a friend that once have came to SLava with me to my parents place, he is Canadian and my dad started kissing him and he was like wtf

Pa naravno da jeste...

​@@emillyyelen5169 zakeranje ili kompliment?

@@ZlatnoPeroTV pogodi!

@@emillyyelen5169 tebe?

@@ZlatnoPeroTV There can be only one!

Thank you!

i mean , that's your best friend the moment u take the daughter xD Not rly bad thing, at least u can get drunk and say to her "i'm there at your's , helping" works anytime ....

With rakija you also inherit the obligation to safeguard his daughter, though, so be ready 🤣

I think he's not Serbian if he has open relationship lol

Srpkinje su lenje, istina. Mladja generacija pogotovo.

Ma daj im jos dana sta prosipate glupost, pa ni mi ne radimo nista, onda smo svi lenji, i da vam kazem nesto, evo bas me boli uvo

I love serbs to. They're very warm and mediterranean like jews and I don't know if you know it, rakia is slivovitz, which makes my galitzianer heart sing.

who gives af

Shalom abc d. Ma kore? I love Tel Aviv❤️

@@danielgalil5020 begone jews

​@@danielgalil5020 no, sljivovica is rakija. There are many other types of rakija from many different fruits.

Yes great point. I heard the same when I was in Belgrade, but then we decided to ask girls on the street and some were really into it, but others not so much

@@DatingBeyondBorders damn we're really into it. my friend once asked me about some guy's zodiac and when I told here I didn't know she was like "How didn't you ask for his zodiac sign????" so yes, a lot of my friends know their star sign and the moon and the rising sign and we like gossiping about people in that way.

And even if you are not invited to slava you can come, everyone is invited 😂❤

​@@valentinasjenicic5918Napisi datum i ostavi adresu ako je to bas tako 😂. ...Na Slavu se zove jednom,a ti pozvani se vise ne zovu,to je tradicija i prvo treba nauciti nju pa tek onda Engleski...

It doesnt because what you moust likely consider balkan is much more diverse culturaly,geneticly than you can imagene.

@@abpast5319 yeah but these are all still things that are common throughout all (or at least most) of the balkan countries

@@kiiryth9835 no

@@abpast5319 are you even balkan lol

@@kiiryth9835 I am croat and I dont consider croatia balkan neither I consider balkans to be a realistic group in cultural and geographical way.Balkans should be hald island and somehow its not.If balkans were island it would be greece albania macedonia parts of south serbia and south west bulgaria but it somehows spreding from greece to hungary to slovenia to turky to fucking moldova which doesnt makes any sance in any way.Some of this groups dont even have any cultural etnich connection.There is centraln european there is longobard/north italian culture there is oriental greek ortodox east european and etc.For exemple croatia as slovenia as serbia and bulgaria share that slavic features in culture even tho slovenianas and croats are central european and longobard north italy like and bosnians oriental and serbs greek ortodox and bulgarian greek ortodox and east european.

@someoneelse9783 that is...if he is ready to let his babygirl go. Serbian fathers can be super protective over their daughters.😁

​@@lenarosic As an American I love Serbia

My Serbian father in law taught me what I needed to do make his daughter happy but also what I needed to do to keep her in check 😂. He knew she wouldn’t be happy in life if I gave in to her.

@@rymic72 did you learn to dance kolo?😁

@@lenarosic I actually did 😃. Took more than a little rakija to get me in the mood to learn

Both were part of the same country so many things are the same.

Perhaps I should go to Belgrade

@@maxhalsted5381 or any other city in Serbia

Well...preserving tradition should mean dating inside your own nationality.

Tradition is fiction in Serbia. The gangster culture rules here, criminals are worshiped - right after you go back from the Church.

​@@m1lst3r89, we're more flexible about that. It's more about preservation of culture (which anyone can participate in) and traditional in the sense we want a family life and traditional gender roles. Mixed marriages are very common (and healthy).

@@HelerifiKtion i don't see how mixed marriages can be healthy and traditional. Also, mixed marriages are not really common. It's not like that majority of Serbian popularion picks non Serbian people. Plus, if you are not Serb, you should not be allowed to dance kolo.

@@m1lst3r89, of course you don't. Do you know what inbreeding does to absolutely every people ever? Take a look at the Habsburgs. You have to mix genes if you want a healthy population. Mixing cultures also leads to spreading tolerance between cultures, it's a type of diplomacy. What's "Serbian" nowadays is actually a genetic soup that allows for people to be healthy and continue existing. There isn't a single Serbian family that doesn't have mixed genes. Whenever someone historically tried that genetic purity, they ruined their own population and had to forcefully fix it via mass migrations, raping of women, and/or some type of devshirme. It's much better to create fraternisation of different populations.
