This is Novi Sad, European Capital of Culture for the year 2021

Nice city.
But I'm wondering why European union is awarding those kind of prices to cities out of the EU.
Is it a diplomatic move?
Aren't Serbian completely against EU and European integration?

It was actually the first time that the European Capital of Culture will be outside of EU
I reckon that it's a diplomatic move as well
Well a lot, if not majority of people are against the european integration, but our govt insist on doing it

>but our govt insist on doing it
Didn't know that, I'm currently reading the article about Serbian adhesion to EU.
I thought Serbia was way more russophile in its diplomacy.

its a sneaky way of telling Újvidék and Vojvodina being rightful hungarian clay

to gain casus belli

eh, theyre trying to sit on both chairs (the govt)
but they insist on joining the eu
novi sad is and always was a serbian city
vojvodina was serbian until the turks came, then it became pretty much empty when the turks left
then it became a multicultural environment, having an almost equal amount of germans, hungarians and serbs (and quite a few local minorities)

Post more pictures.
I'm reading that Serbia could be in EU by 2020.

Independence for Vojvodina

they said we'll be in eu by 2012/3, iirc
i have every reason to doubt that
i dont even think we would get much help from eu, seeing as its currently on its downfall

Well, it look like EU is bouncing back but we need more time to see if it's really that or the last spasm of a dead body.

NOVI NOVI NOVI NOVI NOVI SAD

Serbia is a total shithole, im sorry man.

But Novi Sad isn't

>Novi Sad
>is actually Old Happy
wew

Because it's Vojvodina

Sad!

Austrian town, no wonder. Why didn't they choose Niš or Novi Pazar?

>novi sad is and always was a serbian city

of course it was, nenad.

Because Novi Sad is culturaly superior?
this is not untrue

There's plenty of nice places outside of Vojvodina.
Thank you for your opinion
>they said we'll be in eu by 2012/3
To be fair, back then we didn't partake in nearly as much EU dick sucking as we do now. They've no reason to say no this time around aside from the butthurt ex-yu countries who are already in throwing a tantrum.

i actually know my city's history quite well, thank you very much
im not even ethnically serbian kek
