This gritty Serbian city has a population of 105,432 - but good luck finding work. Once a thriving industrial center, Sabac's economy has been in the doldrums since the Bosnian War, with major employers like the Zorka chemical plant shuttered. The bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with over 300 registered NGOs vying for limited resources. And while the city has a storied history, dating back to the Neolithic, the scars of past conflicts remain - during the Axis occupation in WWII, over 7,000 civilians were killed. Sabac is hardly a glamorous destination; this is a place for the resilient, not the faint of heart.
