Most of the bosnian serbs do construction out here, and the montenegrins effectively run almost every single important job/position in politics and business. And dont get me started on the mafia...srpska posla..

Most of the bosnian serbs do construction out here,.. Yeah I was going to say building but yeah there also seemed to be a lot of construction happening last time I was in Vojvodina. New buildings, warehouses, apartments going up everywhere. Vojvodina certainly does not look terribly poor.

Yes its def more central than balkan looking, but the attitude and mentality is changing because of the influx of refugees. Vojvodina is doing better than the rest because of its autonomy from BG, while the south is depressed mainly bc everything goes to BG, while Novi Sad takes the most from Vojvodina.

^ Well in Novi Sad you will find plenty of Austro-Hungarian architecture for a start. I guess this is where it starts. There is also a synagogue in Novi Sad & then you have significant contributions from other minorities like Slovaks. Serbs them selves are a little different by nature there. Much quieter but still very friendly. If all Serbs acted like Vojvodina Serbs in mentality imo we would easily be best off. Gavrilo is a Lale as they're known. Deucaon is a Bosnian Serb. Krivo a Montenegrin Serb. Novi Pazar a south eastern Serb. All fit the regional stereotypes perfectly come to think of it haha it's almost too coincidental.

Can't agree more, the similarities and differences are easily distinguishable. Arsenije you are from western bosnia right? Or Krajina?
Also, the slovakian impact can also be seen. Backi Jarak and Backi Petrovac are mostly Slovakian. Also in Zrenjanin there is a Slovakian church not far from the Sports center where I play.
Vojvodina is an interesting place, it certainly is a mix of many nationalities. I don't feel much tension between ethnicities. I know some Jews, some Slovaks, a bunch of Hungarians, Serbs, and Croatians, no problems. Furthermore, in Banat, there are a few germans left from what I am told.
As for architecture, the buildings are much more Austo-Hungarian than the rest of our country, even though I can't speak for Bosnia (RS).
Belgrade is the perfect example of the crossroads, where you have Hapsburg influence, Ottoman (ie Skadarlija), and Byzantine.
I'm curious as to how Sarajevo looks, and also Banja Luka. I'm curious as to how these cities differ compared to Vojvodina.

They wont do them there cause of that local mentality stuff ('what other will think of you' philosophy) while once in the west they might resort to jobs they 'normally' would not do. If they were more proactive and less self conscious (especially of people who essentially do not care of them) they surely would go further. Hahaha!!! This is true & for all Serbs I know, doesn't matter where from. They all have this fukked up complex. They still have this mentality when they come here in the west. It's funny & sad at the same time.

The attitude and mentality among Serbs differs and that's fact.
Arsenije, Belgrade doesn't have anything Ottoman as the Ottomans(Muslim population) were dumb and all the significant buildings were built by south Orthodox Slavs. Much of those building you see in center of Belgrade were built by south Serbs from various parts of modern Serbia and Macedonia, and perhaps some Greeks of the region(not sure for the Greeks, but 100% certain for the rest). In fact only Ottoman thing you can see in here is Bajrakli mosque(but again its big question if their architects and builders made this)

Yes I also saw pictures, but I was curious as to the how they looked in real life. Often times I have seen pictures of cities and they look much different in real life.
As for the people, I hear that the muslims and serbs get along fine. A few teamates played in Sarajevo in early 2000's and they said there were never any problems. However, the nationalism is highest among the croats in mostar, they say,
