Bulgaria is the second most popular destination for Serbian holidaymakers for this upcoming summer. The most popular destination is Greece, according to the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry, citing statistics released by the Serbian national tourist association.
 
The research was conducted amongst 19 798 Serb citizens who were asked about their plans for the upcoming summer and their favoured destinations as well as their planned budget.
 
More than a fifth of respondents said they were planning to visit the Bulgarian Black Sea, but a significantly larger proportion – 40 per cent – indicated that they were planning or had already made plans to visit Greece.
 
Ranking behind Bulgaria –  in third place – was Turkey with 20 per cent, Egypt with five per cent and Tunisia with three per cent.
 
Bulgaria has long since overtaken Montenegro, a traditional destination for Serbian holidaymakers. Only about three per cent of those interviewed expressed a desire to go there this summer.

Inappropriate comment?

Wow! Romania is a very isolated EU State for many reasons Romania does not particularly like the Western Balkans and EE, Romania is the only sole Latin EU State. Romania has no interest in the Western Balkans and EE Countries not surprising at all.

According to some poll in the Western Balkans and EE Romania is the least well established and most ignored in the Western Balkans and EE. I am not surprised.

I am not surprised that Romania (EU State) hates the Western Balkans and EE because nobody wants to have anything to with it Romania and cause they are Slavic.
