Serbia - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture |

Serbia, a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, covers the southern part of the Pannonian plain and the central part of the Balkans. The dominant power in the former Yugoslavia, it has had a bad press in the West. However, the truth is much more nuanced and interesting than that portrayed by the media. Serbia is a country with wonderful scenery, architectural riches, and a vibrant arts scene, waiting to be discovered by Westerners. Serbs are proud, passionate, and generous people with an independent streak. They have always had to fight for survival, first against the Ottoman Turks and then against the Habsburg Empire. Following the First World War, they took the lead in forming independent Yugoslavia. They resisted Hitler heroically. Under Tito's rule Yugoslavia steered an independent course. After his death the multinational state disintegrated amid bitter conflict. The war over the secession of the province of Kosovo saw Serbia bombed by NATO forces for two and a half months. The Serbian people's reaction to their hardline Communist regime was the Bulldozer Revolution—a campaign of civil resistance that returned the country to democracy in 2000. Against this turbulent backdrop, the visitor to Serbia needs to be well informed and sensitive to people's feelings. Culture Smart! Serbia introduces you to a diverse, complex, and dynamic society. It offers background information on Serbian history and customs, and essential advice on what to expect and how to behave in different circumstances. If you show interest and respect, you will receive a warm welcome and lasting loyalty in return.
网友对Serbia - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture的评论
This was a good intro to Serbia, with lots of history and useful cultural tidbits. There was even some practical information on getting to Serbia and getting around. The only thing I would supplement is the language section--the list of phrases was pretty short, so we had to supplement with some of our own research. Otherwise, it had everything we needed to know for our trip.
Ok item. Not up to date as it could be. A waste for a travel guide. I do not recommend. Waste of money
Tons of information, very well presented. Excellent to read before a trip.
This is a highly accessible and contemporary overview of modern Serbia that provides a solid briefing for the first-time visitor.
very nice book
