YouTube Comment By Theodore Lambert:

“I’ve visited Serbia twice, I was following my mom to her business trip, I went from Belgrade all the way down to Leskovac ( I think I spelled it right).

The country is just beautiful, people in Belgrade told me to try the famous foods in Lescovac. After the business meeting in Leskovac we went to a restaurant called Gros or something like that and they had the most amazing food. You guys have the BEST local restaurants I’ve ever visited and let me tell you I’ve been in a lot of restaurants. The people there are so polite and just awesome, they behave amazingly, we’ve been treated amazingly and just everything was amazing.

I didn’t have time to visit the scenery, but I will be coming to Serbia more in the future, there is going to be a lot more business in Leskovac. ;)
Greetings from Germany, Munich ♥ “
