Dubrovnik and Balkan Side Trips 

this is southern not eastern

@@ericpaunovic3579 I call it eastern because the countries in Western Europe like Britain, France, Spain, Germany and Italy seem to get most of the media attention.

@@ericpaunovic3579 It's the Southern Part of Eastern Europe.

I just come back from there. Yes, pretty impressive!

You should see the bridge in Ronda, Spain

Sarajevo is amazing!

its fabulous but Game of Thrones has flooded the place with annoying gawkers!

And richest in history!

Too bad his political views are so far to the left.

@@dorothygale5896 p

@@dorothygale5896 Yes AND, that's a good thing!! Why on earth, would you wish for Rick, to be on the far right?! We have enough issues, specifically regarding matters of "race" on this planet and the US, stands out with this issue! Btw, you do know right, that "race" does NOT actually exist? RACE is simply a human construct, just as global borders, are only man made. If anyone knows true and proper history, they'll know this is absolutely true. Any other belief around RACE, is purely subjective and delusional.

@@hiranmoyroychowdhury153 Not funny @ all! Do you sit on the far right? If so, not good @ all! The far right, represents all that's negative and poor within humanity.

​@@dorothygale5896 Exactly Dorothy. His travel shows are well produced. But his political affinity is disappointing and a disservice to the well being of America and the world.

You should come to Bar and stay in Sutomore! I grew up there and it's easily my favorite place in the world ;) Also - Split is a nice place.

how awesome you were able to visit before the hoards of tourists descend upon Croatia looking for Game of Thrones filming scenes.

milan kandic really????????

milan kandic glad to know it's real. I thought it was real but glad to know it's super real. Xoxo love from USA

👍👍👍

thats true

Good evening

Iran is wonderful.

Croatia is not balkan, just a little part, but actually, not balkan, different music, different mentality, all things are different, but only language is almost a same although we have croatian language with italian words ( part of istria and dalmatia), zagreb and slavonia sounds like a slovenian language, but we re a story “for us”.It is croatia actually

maybe a bit hard for logistics? I'm only assuming

Rick has also not filmed episodes about Serbia. In December 2012, I visited Beograd (Belgrade), Serbia, and had a great time. While the city is dominated by blocky, communist-era buildings, there are pockets of hidden beauty. Kalemegdan Park, twenty-four hours after a snowstorm, was astonishingly beautiful for my evening walks! The Church of St. Sava is richly ornate and HUGE! The old historic cafe "?" (Yes, that is its name --- a question mark!) is cute and old-world charming with small, wooden tables. Give Belgrade a try. The Serbs I encountered were delightful.

Kotor in Malaysian 's 'dirty', no offence!

Is your school in the old city?

living there feels like a medieval rpg

@@ShadowRULF Awesome

History is important

And those who don't learn from history will repeat it

Regarding of what the priest said, don't take it so serious. For them noone who is not religious is not a Serb. Serbian Orthodox church is one of the reasons why the muslims are now called "Bosniaks" and prior to war they were predominantly muslim Serbs and to a (far) lesser extent muslim Croats, or simply just Yugoslavs. When it comes to your ancestry, it is possible that some of your ancestors changed faith if you are not of Orthodox background, however there were many catholics in Croatia which considered themselves as Serbs, especially in Dubrovnik. If you are wondering how come your ancestors are Serbs but they come from Croatia, it is actually very simple. Serbs are the largest of the south Slavic peoples and their number in Croatia was extremely high. I don't want to get into politics now but considering that during the WW2 Nazi Croats killed around 1.5 million Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia and during the Yugoslavian war 1992-1995 Croats expelled more than 200.000 Serbs from present-day Croatia (they mostly fled to Serbia), it shows how many Serbs actually lived in that area. Regardless of the genocide and the ethnic cleansing in the 20th century, Serbs are still by far the largest minority in Croatia.

Sissy Awakened what did u expect from a priest? especially in an area where religion is the only thing that separates people. and remember one needs to divide people in order to subjugate them - divide et impera

Serbs don't exist.

James Johansson, Seriously!? #Croatians are basically Catholic Serbs."!? Why don't you come to Croatia and say that? You piece of sh..!

Vladimir Spasojević, serb, everithing that you write is a lie. To lie is in your DNA. Only truth is that srbes are largest minority...all 4% of them.
