Pazar with Albanian girls, Serbia, Macedonia are buying brides for 1,000 euros

Old Macedonian and Serbian women continue to marry Albanian women by paying huge sums of money. That's why there's another agency that coordinates Internet connections here.

A number of Serbs, Macedonians, Bosniaks have found their wife through group “Albanian marriage” Facebook. The Kurir Agency in Serbia says that the motives of young Albanian women for getting married are primarily for escaping poverty, and the most common motive for Serbian men is that they cannot find suitable women for themselves, INA news agency broadcasts. Albanians are patriarchal and “sklls of the house”, the agency says.

This is a free option that costs about 1,000 euros, and it is likely that the bride will be brought home to her future husband and stay there for 10 days, after which the husband decides whether she stays. This version costs around 2,000 euros, the agency says.

Social psychologist Vesna Tomic says that such marriages have always existed, but now they are on the rise because many people, especially women, leave the villages.
