Russia offers a rich blend of cultural and natural attractions that can appeal to a segment of Serbia's 7 million population. While it welcomes around 6.4 million foreign visitors each year, its appeal lies more in the diversity of experiences available than in sheer visitor numbers.
Russia presents certain safety concerns for tourists from Serbia. In terms of safety rankings, Russia is 30th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, compared to Serbia's 13th position. Additionally, the Global Peace Index ranks Russia 154th out of 160 countries, while Serbia is ranked 53rd. Crime statistics further illustrate these differences: Serbia has a murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, whereas Russia's rate is significantly higher at 6.8. Female murder rates are also concerning, with Serbia at 0.7 and Russia at 3.3. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, while Serbia scores better in various categories, Russia has higher indices for state crime (8.5) and crime networks (7.5), indicating a more challenging environment regarding organized crime. Overall, while Russia is a culturally rich destination, tourists should remain aware of these safety issues and exercise caution.
