Ruffalo was clearly kidding with some of his comments. I talked to him at a screening of the film and he absolutely loved Serbia, and planned to go back with his family. He said he cried the night of the wrap dinner in Belgrade because he’d made so many friends.

I was in Serbia a few weeks ago. They have two specialised stores for vegetarians in capital, Belgrade. One man showed me were to buy… they don’t have raw chocolate, red leaf lettuce and some types of sprouts … but I found almost everything. People who were in charged for his food failed!

Well, I live in Serbia and it’s true that we like to eat meat a lot but you can find in markets just everything you want,vegetables, fruits, macrobiotic stuff… we have also many good bakeries with very tasteful food…it is very popular fast food in Serbia, I think that in Serbia there are not much vegetarian restaurants because it’s not traditionally our type of cuisine, and we’re not the top destination and because of that we don’t have a great variety of restaurants for tourists…but it isn’t true that every dish is with meat!!! And if you are well-informed you still can have a good meal in Serbia In case you like meat our cuisine is one of the best

Oh please, it was a complete joke. When you have a sentence that ends with “we tear you vegetarians to pieces and eat you!”, it’s only normal to respond in writing with some kind of funny statement.

If I had the opportunity to fly to Serbia, I’d be there in an instant.

And racist? Now you’re the one being silly.

I agree with a previous comment: “Even if that were true, to make a statement to avoid Serbia, is rude at best.” and utterly racist at worst (though being anti-Slavic has not yet entered politically correct language of N. American, so they think they can say stuff that could never fly if it was directed at blacks, Jews or Asians)

This is absolute non-sense.
Just beacuse he was ill informed as is the editor of this article, doesn’t mean you cannot be a vegetarian in Serbia.

Even if that were true, to make a statement to avoid Serbia, is rude at best.
