"Apartman with one bed in centre can find for 150 euros. Outside about 120 euros." now it's double that. Literally 100% up for renting a place in Novi sad, Also real estate prices went up around 100% so buying an apartment is twice it was just a few years ago. On the upside the net salary is averaging ~400, the reason being that more than half workforce gets less then ~250-300
