For the last 3+ years, I explore the Balkans looking for grassroots regenerative initiatives.
As no posts are still related to Serbia, let me post here a link to a review I did about a regenerative neighourhoud that I've discovered on the border with National park Fruška Gora, in just 12 km from the Serbia's cultural captial - Novi Sad.
There are two families experimenting with ecotourism household, ‘Forest School’, 'Forest University', ecological building, shared gardening and art/research residencies.
Hi Ian, I'm glad you like it! Yes, all the residents live there full-time and are fully dedicated to this place. Such a feedback here on your platform inspires me write the second part of the review - there are also neighbors aligned with related activities (actually I've already done two more interviews).
Other community places - I’ll make a post with mentioning of the amazing destination in Albania, I’ve spend there about 2.5 months. The both stories (the published one and Albanian one) are quite unique in my experience, but I'm looking for other communities and places.

Hi Sergey, thanks for sharing this amazing project. This is a phenomenal article and a refreshing read.
Do the residents live here full time? Or are some community members transient or seasonal?
Including the video from your article here as it's a great showcase:
This reminds me of some community tourism projects from Japan that were featured in the Japan Travel Awards (e.g zero waste village).
Are there any other places in the world that you've come across with similar concepts?

Great to see this project, and the Balkans are a great region to explore.
