Shalom Jakov,
Dobro vece! Kato ste?
If I come to Serbia, it would be nice if I can find a pro-Israel Zionist Serbian host family to show me around. Its always nicer to come to a country where you have people who can host you and help introduce you to a country that is so different from your own. If I did travel to Serbia, I would definately learn some Serbian language before I go. It always helps to know just a little. That's strange that summer is the worst month to go.. I guess I should aim for Spring.. Perhaps Swiitzerland and Italy would be better in the Summer.
Anyhow, it would be interesting to see the beauty of your country, to learn your song, dance, food and way of life. Serbians seem to be traditional, yet innovative people. Belgrade seems to be well known for being a beautiful city filled with beautiful people. I am more of a country guy, but European cities always did impress me in some way. I would love to see some of your ancient and historical sites as well.
I just want to make sure that I can make bonds with good people while I am there and that people can respect me as a Jew. One reason I hate traveling to Eastern European counties like Poland, Russia, Ukraine is that I have to hide the fact I am a Jew. This is because there is lot of intolerance and hatred for Jewish people in those countries. IT would be nice for me to travel to a beautiful European country where I can be open about my religion and make genuine friendships with people, rather than having to watch what I say for fear of being attacked. Even though I may not advertise myself, I would like to not have to lie about my religion and who I am when I meet people everyday around the country.
Anyway, if I am a burden to you, I apologize. But, I am intrigued to see your country.. It would be interesting to see how Serbs live day to day.. You know at times I get bored of living in USA and need to experience something different.
As far as me bringing guns and ammo to Serbia.. Well, in a perfect world. But no, I would not bring my own guns and ammo there. Actually I was hoping you and your Serbian friends would let me borrow some of your guns and I can buy some ammo while I am there. I know you Serbians make great ammo, because I shoot Serbian ammo at my shooting range all the time.. Good ammo for a good price.. What I am saying is, when I come, I would like to go to shooting range in Serbia and either rent guns or have my new Serbian friends let me borrow some of theirs. I guess I don't know the legality of foreigners shooting guns there at public ranges. Maybe its not allowed, if it is not that really sucks. But, oh well.. Not all countries have the freeddom that USA has. I know that many foreigners travel and go hunting in foreign countries all the time. Maybe I can get a hunting permit for yoru country that would allow me to legally possess a firearm during my travel for hunting and target practice purposes.
I would love to shoot some Serbian rifles.. I am a gun enthusiast and do have lot of respect for Eastern bloc weapons, along wiht my AMerican weapons. I do own a couple Ak-47s, from the Izhmash SaiGA factory in Russia. The Izhmash factory is the original makers of Russian AK-47s. I know Yugoslavia, Romania ando ther Countries have their own makes of Ak-47s. Are you saying Serbians don't have claim to their own type of AK-47? Interesting if they don't.
Veoma ste.
