Living outside Belgrade in some near villages will cost you 150 euros for a house with land fully furnished 20 km far from city but with good bus lines especially village under Avala mountain with great view and much cleaner air and less frequent trafic than in city centre.
Overall prices for renting apartmants here are 3x more expensive than in reality.
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.
So it's only about the Government understanding? Simple as that? Are you living on Mars?
So in Belgrade you have all kinds of people, rich, poore, etc. but the fact is Belgrade can offer you lots of chances you would not have in smaller exYU cities.
Belgrade has been growing at fast pace since 2000, and during the last few years the city is even faster transforming itself, faster than anytime in history. Many people lifted up themselves out of poverty.
For example you can not find a good electrician, for less than 50 euro per 2 hours, good independent car-mechanic won't come to work in your service if you don't pay him 1000-2000 euro, professional waiter won't work if you don't pay him 600 euro plus at least 600 tips, hairstylist 500euro + tips 500 euro.
Of course if you are not skilled, or independently working, but just a helper of a professional, you can not earn even a third of what I wrote.
I lived during the 90es outside of Serbia, in West Europe and USA, and I returned in 2001, with a little savings started my own business, on the market, everything was lacking at those times in Belgrade, and enterpreneurs who knew how to fulfill the gap made millions. I muself know a few self-made millionaires (from 2-3 to 40 million) who during the 90es could not afford to eat, and after selling some little estate, invested into machines, started production or import of things everyone needed.
There are many such cases, so everyone can come and visit Belgrade, and many haters will start loving it, or hate it even more, it's all up to you guys!
I live in Serbia and so many things are expensive
If there is a thing for 300$ in Serbia it would cost 400$
Night life is rich and diverse and the city itself is not mentally and spiritually sterile. I always look forward to coming back, and any turist will probably feel the same way as Belgradians are easy-going people and great friends. ZG ♡ BG Lijep pozdrav! ;)
