Improving Your Serbian Listening Comprehension

In order to develop your Serbian listening comprehension skills, it's of vital importance to listen to Serbian on a daily basis.

It isn't enough to find a video with a catchy title, the speaker must also use natural Serbian at a suitable pace and discuss a topic that works well in a lesson. I say that I spend hours looking for useful videos, not because I'm too picky, but because I tend to get fascinated with some stupid or bizarre stuff which usually happens to be listed first on YouTube. Unfortunately, the real gems are usually sitting on the third or fourth page. One of the examples, besides the first video with Zoran Milivojević, is this insightful interview with Aleksandar Ćirković:
