It's normal that you get many bots on your introduction post. They are link to the introduceyourself tag and automatically send those messages. But I must say that a couple of them are quite useful :)

I can imagine that the situation there is difficult because of the young people leaving. The governments should look at the solutions to this problem but I know it's not going to happen. The same happens in Slovakia at the moment. But you know, I have noticed that many of my friends come back to Slovakia after 5 or 10 years. They simply make some money, come home, get married and build a house :) Maybe it's happening in the Balkan countries too?

I know that there are many people from Croatia and Serbia in Switzerland. They left their countries during the war so it's actually the second (sometimes even third) generation here. And I know that they keep the traditions because I was working with a girl who was born here but still would say that she is Croatian :)

Just ask if you come across any strange things that you wouldn't understand. I'm not an expert but I'll try to help or maybe I could direct you to someone who would know the answer :)

Have a lovely day!
