  • We're in Serbia, driving south from Belgrade.

  • Peeling off the motorway, we wind our way into the mountain town of Serdon.

  • So this is the town centre?

  • Yes.

  • You can see the cars are older and rustier compared to Belgrade especially.

  • That's Gruica from the BBC Serbian bureau.

  • We're working on this story together.

  • Across the snow, we trudge towards a block of grey flats where someone is waiting for us.

  • Hi.

  • Hi.

  • Hi.

  • I'm Sam.

  • Great to meet you.

  • Jovana Brajevic meets us in a tracksuit and trainers, blond hair tied up in a bun, and walks us up to an apartment, not hers.

  • She tells us she's using it for the interview so her neighbors wouldn't see us coming.

  • She starts by telling us about life in Srdlitsa.

  • This is a small town.

  • We have a tough life.

  • We have jobs with low salaries and temporary contracts, and even those are hard to get.

  • Over the next two hours, Jovana tells us about her job, A strange one, as it turned out.
