On a below-average US salary living in Belgrade your quality of life would be equal to a 7-digit salary living in the US. Not to mention that you would be in one of the safest cities in the World
for women and children and generally would live better than Seinfeld on Park Ave :)
I'll say this: I once had to talk with a team in Belgrade. I was honestly not looking forward to it due to language barrier and such, but I didn't know anything about Serbia.
I was pleasantly surprised that that team spoke better English than most folks in the US. Every one of them.
If that's any indication of how most of the city speaks, I don't think any English speaker would have a bit of trouble communicating.
As I said in the other comment, I just don't think it would be a good experience when one is a foreigner.
Maybe if you consider it as just an adventure. I personally think I would get bored and lonely very fast.
oh man, honestly this can’t be further from the truth, regardless of your age, marital status… belgrade in particular and europe in general would be anything but boring for US folk!
and of course everyone speaks english…
