If his widow speaks English (or if you speak Serbian, of course), probably the best way would be to help her financially. House help (cleaners, etc) are paid usually $3 to $8 per hour, probably less in rural areas. Utilities can often be paid online ... Read More

Hmm, interesting. First of all, a lot of it depends on if you are married (to her) or not. If you are, and she decides to move back to Serbia while having Serbian citizenship, it goes this way (based on my experience with my non-Serbian wife). 1. ... Read More

HashCash, I don't want to discourage you, but Germany (or at least southern parts) is within driving distance from Serbia, so why not combining the best of both worlds (economic stability and a lot better average income in Germany) with ... Read More

Well, it all depends on your expectations and habits. A family of 4 (Serbian nationals, I will explain why it is relevant), parents with two children, will manage to meet months end with approx. 700 to 1000 EUR per month. As an expat, you will ... Read More

Cpt Pari... keep in mind that we use extended version of Latin alphabet, which includes letters such are 聤職Đđ聨聻ČčĆć... So if you give us the whole sentence where "Sole" appears, it would be quite useful. Read More

Milos is right. In latin alphabet, it would be something like: Nesa Snjilanac (but the surname, second word, sounds strange so I am not sure if your spelling is correct) Or, in serbian latin alphabet: Ne職a Snjilanac Read More

Nice place... Apart from Abuja (Nation's capital), Calabar (you didn't specify the location but I guess it is Calabar) is to me the second nicest city in Nigeria. Relatively safe (at least compared to the rest of the country) and very clean. Read More

It all depends on what you are used to. Some of my Nigerian co-workers make less than half of that amount, and they survive. On the other hand, some people complain of "powerty" with 5 times that amount. I am in Abuja, which is insanely expensive. ... Read More
