Others claimed that the event and the locals had so much positive energy. And everyone agreed that the food was unbelievable.<br \/>\nThis kinda captures the essence of the Serbia WordPress community. In a region divided by so many issues we decided to focus on what brings us together &#8211; WordPress. We nurtured an inclusive environment where a person can ask for advice and give one in return. We became friends with one another outside meetups. We built bridges to other WordPress communities in the region; bridges that span the ideological, political and ethnic gaps that keep us divided in everyday life.<br \/>\nIf I had to sum up the Serbia WordPress community in one word, it would be camaraderie. And food. It&#8217;s so amazing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>&#8211; Nemanja Aleksic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p><img
