Zašto je sva hrana u Srbiji uvek dimljena, ali nije soljena ili sušena?
Ne treba niko da nam poboljšava imidž, ne trebaju nam stranci ovde.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The funny thing is that Serbian in many ways is more similar to Latin than Italian!!! You would say that´s insane and impossible but here are some facts you can easily check: even though Latin is supposed to be the origin of all "Romance" languages like Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Romanian, and one of the characteristics of Latin is that nouns have conjugations, yet in none of the above mentioned languages we have ever found any noun conjugations!! And I mean never ever. Not now and not centuries ago. And yet in Serbian they have noun conjugations just as Latin has. Do you really believe all the millions of people of Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Romania.. simply FORGOT the noun conjugations? I don´t think that´s even possible. So can someone explain to me why we have noun conjugations in Slavic languages like Serbian (very similar to Latin) and yet in ALL "from Latin derived" Romance languages…. no noun conjugations are to be found in any village, city, province, nowhere, not even in old books. Was Latin maybe kind of Esperanto, a language made from all important languages of Europe and could this be the reason why for instance in Bulgarian "I am" is "Sum"… EXACTLY like in Latin, while in Italy it´s "Io sono", in Spanish it´s "Yo soy", in French it´s "Je suis" etc… ? These words do remind us of the Latin "sum" but in Bulgarian it is EXACTLY "sum" (=I am)and in Serbian it´s almost the same, "Sam" (=I am). Why does Latin in so many ways have similarities to Slavic languages when the official history is that Slavs mysteriously "entered" Europe about 650 AD when Latin was not even an official language anymore?
Не треба нам бољи имиџ а ни најезда странаца.
Nije mi nešto Alfonso u elementu bio ovde. Možda zbog vremena ali je generalno veseliji…
Dobro nam dosao delijo ti si sad nas svako ti dobro zelim
I hope this channel grows, never a dull interview!
I'm italian from Milan and moja zena je srpkina…a lot of serbian people live in north Italy and we are similar too even if we are "cooooold" 😂
Алфонсо, зашто не пробате да будете водич и организатор путовања и боравка туристима из Италије у Србији?
Excellent interviews. I watched few by accident and amazed by quality of questions.
Alfonso is a great guy!
It’s paradox that Serbia attracts such good quality people. But life is paradox
SERBIA❤ITALY
E verooooo😂❤
Anche mio marito racconta queste cose ancora oggi ❤ anche se da ormai stiamo in Italia da anni 🥰
È meglio che non torni qui 😂 qui è un disastro totale 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
More Italians and Brazilians, please! We need the warmth! Beautiful 🙂
Italian, Ertrurian Brothers ❤ Italijanska Ertrurska Braća ♥️
pov: Italy created Albania
It's a real pleasure to watch this video. If I had just listened to this conversation, I would have thought it was two Serbs talking, not an Italian and a Russian. Obviously, while living in Belgrade, they adopted the Serbian mentality…
Hvala Rus❤
Ada Ciganlija really is very, very good.
One of the best Roman Emperors was born in Nis and sanctified Christianity so we have a lot in common, the Great Schism 1300 did stuff things a bit, but we all respect both the respective Christmas & Easter. Hence why some people still have their eye on Nis, get out of it, do your own thing.
Alfonso will always be welcome in our country,and so will Italians,we have long history.
Over 17 Roman emperors came from the region of modern Serbia,and you can imagine the exchange of culture in thousands of years that happened between us,no wander Serbians and Italians feel good about each other's countries and people!
And what he said about Espresso is right, it’s a shot and go. Different with the Turkish style.
And the Parking, well that does need improving, but step by step.
U Srbiji ima dve (2), stvari bolje nego u Italiji…pijace rade svaki dan..i mozes jesti u restoranu kad hoces..SVE ostalo je bolje u Italiji…kaze vam covek koji je ziveo 17 godina u Firenci.
NISMO ISTI I NE DAJ BOZE DA JESMO!! VI STE SLIČNI SA ALBANCIMA!!!!
