2:08 pm
europe ason can't believe the serbian government did not anticipate this. kind of i think it all i think the serbian government has been extremely hospitable to us or audience. but i don't think this is only about tourism that i was with. experts suspect political motives underlie the decision iran does not recognize kosovo as a state meaning the serbian government treats iran as a friend abolishing resists one of the instruments or just serbian diplomacy grace to minister to countries which haven't recognized cos once it's proved that the lot of those so-called two wrists instantly become migrants when they let that when their land and belgrade a port then the problem problem started then they are making their problems and to disagree in authority this and to e.u. which is of course haven't you criticizing serbia passon quickly heard of the new

shango shmita. n.g.o.s cannot say how many iranian tourists arriving in serbia actually have a different journey in mind. they have thirty days to stay here and be down to any reason like a tourist so there is a lot of people that never even come to our office or get in touch with us so we actually don't know how much how many of them stay khomeini's leaving for europe and how many of them is getting back after that has arrived at a refugee camp eighty kilometers outside of belgrade it's still his first day in serbia but he has already reached a decision for himself. and i hope that i will see my mother my father and my sister again some day but it will never be in iran. and i will never go back there ready to go on. we don't know. whether the thirty two year old will be staying in
