Cost of Living in Belgrade

The average salary in Belgrade is around 120.000. The 96.000 figure is the national average for Serbia.

Overall Serbia government is notorious for harboring drug dealers just as long as they get side cash to look the other way which happens quite often.Serbia is a dangerous drug ridden country a fact.

Average sallary in Belgrade is around 115.000 Serbian dinars or 1.000 euros.
The sallary is not updated. The sallary of 88.000 dinars is average level in whole Serbia(not Belgrade).

I said again after short thinking regarding real estate pricing renting and housing.PRices are made probably by real estate agents in order to profit more than market prices are.1 bedroom apartmant in Belgrade 30-35 m2 outside city center you can find for 150 euro if you speak serbian .2 bedroom apartmant 200 eura you can choose among thousands of offers.These prices here regarding renting of flats are overpriced.Horribly.150-200 euro a month that is the real price of renting 1 or 2 bedroom fully furnished apartmant in Belgrad not in center but in some suburbs with 15 minutes bus drive to the city center.Period.

Nice city, great food. But Serbian people are not sociable and don't want to meet and befriend foreigners. The women are also totally stuck up, so forget about having a good dating life!

here is a very helpful site to get pretty accurate tax information on countries worldwide: https://taxsummaries.pwc.com
For Serbia check here: https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/serbia/individual/taxes-on-personal-income

As you mentioned after spending 183 days in Serbia you are considered resident thus taxable on your worldwide income (see residency section of the above mentioned report). Also I did not find any mention of a tax exclusion or special deductions for incomes out of retirement plans for that country (Serbia) in the report.

Getting trustable information before making such important decisions resp. moves is key. Keeping up to date with such information is key also as things can change (sometimes quickly as it happened in Malaysia with the MM2H program). Double checking information even if trusted is not a bad idea either.

Overpriced real estates for a city without metro, bad cleaning services, bad traffic, bad air quality, half baked city center... Clubing is also overrated in my opinion, there are a lot of night clubs (kafanas), but they all are the same. If you see one, you've seen them all.

Pretty accurate. Life in Belgrade is much much easier and better now in 2021 and its been on an upward scale for the past couple years. Education matters, jobs are everywhere and its just getting better. My wife is from Singapore and she is amazed with life here. Both leaving USA and moving to Belgrade for good.

" If the Serbian government would care enough to understand the pay scale overall isn't adequate to live comfortably things would be much better for everyone."

So it's only about the Government understanding? Simple as that? Are you living on Mars?

Keep in mind that Serbian Bureau of Statistics lies about average salaries, so the people dont revolt and the main party stays in power. The real situation is that average salary is around 350 euros, and the prices of everything is the same as in west Europe. Exept real estate and cigarettes.

I spent one month in Serbia two weeks in Belgrade two weeks in Nis.If you're looking for a place that pretty much has it all for a much reduced standard of living without giving up convience,then Nis is that place. Ofcourse Belgrade is nice too which we enjoyed during our visit.

No worries covid19 has put the world on notice and it's the beginning of the end even though people around the world won't accept the outcome the proof is total inaliation. However people around the world desperately needed a wake up call, but remember it's just the beginning of much more to come no matter how much others cannot accept doom and gloom being a stark reality.
