Sasha

Sasha, a 38-year-old who has lived and worked in Paris, France, for 16 years, is a multi-faceted individual. He works in real estate, represents NetTV Plus in France, and administers the ‘All Serbs in Paris’ website and Facebook page, which serves as a hub for Serbs living in France and the diaspora. His journey to France initially began due to his background as a football player, intending to stay for just a year or two.

In terms of his vision for Serbia’s future, Sasha emphasizes the importance of preserving the nation’s traditions and spirit. He believes that while it’s essential to embrace positive aspects from the European Union, Serbia should not allow the EU to dictate its values as a condition for joining. He stands against changes such as altering the traditional way of making brandy. To him, preserving the existing aspects of Serbian culture and tradition is crucial.

For Sasha, the enduring Serbian spirit is a defining positive quality of Serbia. He highlights the nation’s remarkable resilience through centuries of challenges, including five centuries of Turkish occupation and the trials of the 19th and 20th centuries. He attributes the country’s impressive sports successes to a genetic legacy of those who survived and persevered through historical hardships. This shared genetic heritage, he believes, has contributed to the talent and determination of Serbian athletes.

Rather than merely being a critic, Sasha takes an active role in preserving and promoting his heritage. What began as a hobby connecting Serbs in France and the diaspora has evolved into a profession. Sasha is dedicated to uniting his community and offering assistance to those in need, effectively translating his ideas into action.
