Yea. Its not that important, I've been places where there was absolutely zero online at all that I can find. It just helps to have input from like-minded people in case theres something you missed. Either way I'm sure I'll survive.

Spent a few weeks in southern Serbia, (crossed from Montenegro and stayed in airbnb's near Uvac, Zlatibor, and Perucac lake).
Very pleasantly surprised what a nice area it was. Zlatibor was a really nice town with beautiful surroundings.

Perucac lake was an amazing place with over the water houses that sleep 6+ on airbnb that for for 175-225 per night, with mountainous peaks on both sides, and a great place to do sup's and swimming. It's located in Tara National Park, but we didn't have time to explore the park itself in the time we were there. Would love to have spent more time there.

At no point did we feel uncomfortable wearing a kippa and tzitit in our travels in the region.

Happy to try to answer questions.

TR please 

Balkans are really nice and great value compared to the typical European tourist spots.

Post what spots you recommend and which to avoid.

How's kosher food situation?

Thanks

Unsure about doing a full trip report, but of the countries we went to, Serbia was the cheapest, followed by Montenegro, with Croatia and Slovenia being pricier and fuller. Bosnia is also very affordable, but our only experience is the Una river and national park, which is great.

Each country has a local kosher list, but in general, we had lots of rice, eggs, veggy stir fries, made pancakes, etc.
Primary food we brought was tuna, wraps, protein mixes, and chicken for shabbos.

Most importantly, Belgrade has the cheapest 8+ seater van rentals in Europe, with the next closest being Warsaw. Prices were approx 50%-60% compared to nearby cities, such as Zagreb, Budapest, Bucharest, and Tivat.
