A bunch of young folks from Serbia, Europe’s most polluted country, sporting rather pricey cycling gear, came to Strasbourg, France, to complain about Serbian-made problems, and like all true fighters for human rights and democracy they made a stop at the Serbian Orthodox Christian Church in Munich, because apparently they couldn’t find enough churches in Serbia.
One of their goals, as stated on the website tourdestrasbourg.com, was “Not for someone else to fix our problems, but to ensure the world hears what’s happening in Serbia.“
Recently, helloworld.rs, a Serbian job portal for IT and remote work, published a blog article titled “Is Serbia still a hot-spot for digital nomads?”
Drastic drop on Nomadlist: Pollution and discrimination deter foreign IT professionals
Belgrade fell from 19th position in August 2023 to 318th place in February 2025, with a score of 2.63 out of 5 on the Nomadlist. The main reasons are air pollution, smoking in indoor spaces, and attitudes towards women and the LGBT population. An additional problem is the legislation that does not recognize digital nomads as a separate category , limiting their stay to 90 days without clearly defined tax and health frameworks.
So did the student cyclist happen to mention in Strasbourg that Serbia is an intolerant dumpster fire of a society, and that foreign IT professionals, namely the digital nomads, decided to split?
The church-goers had better things to do. After meeting with a few MEPs, and publicly reading a letter addressed to Emmanuel Macron, the French president, they threw more of the ludicrous incidents involving nationalist and pro-Russian iconography.
