Brit spent £2 million to bring a Serbian village back to life Attic Life 2025-07-14 | Vinarija Raj's Instagram: instagram.com/vinarija_rajVinarija Raj's site: vinarija-raj.comI’m about to show you a unique story of Mick, an Englishman from Manchester, who found love, purpose, and home deep in a rural part of Eastern Serbia. Forty years ago, he resigned from being a Royal Marine and went to travel the Balkans with no return ticket. In Serbia, he met Beka. They traveled together for a year and then parted ways. Beka got married and had two kids, while Mick worked in security for Middle East officials and as a paramedic. But 20 years later, they reconnected — Beka was now a widow. Now they are married, run a winery in Eastern Serbia, and live nearby in a restored village house. I spent 24 hours with Mick, visited a unique village of wineries, crashed my drone, and fell in love with this place forever. No animals were harmed during the filming.
