when i heard his voice and looked at him i thought he was russian at the start but he is actually from serbia which is...Next to Italy across the adratic sea. Near bulgaria i think but they speak slavic aswell and their accents are eastern european so....anyways he is from Serbia. icon14.gif

Serbia.

 

Roman said sth abt "My Serbian, bla bla bla..." at the beginning of the game.

It's funny he mixes English and Serbian when talking. biggrin.gif

This may sound ignorant, but I've never heard of Bosnia until GTA IV.

Understanding Serbian makes this game so much funnier because of Niko's lines in Serbian when you crash your car, get chased by cops, or fall of your motorbike.

oh c'mon.....it's nice that he's from serbia and all...but RockStar faked up him.....other dont know it, but u ppl from balkan, heard how he is saying words like "neverovatno" or some others....Rly rly rly lamee....they shoul have took some real serbian dude to give them voice acts, this is BS...ruined a game in some point of view...

 

tho Niko is not rly a serbian name, he is serbian...

Yeah I gotta agree the accent is very lousy done,nobody speaking Serbian talks like that

I think Niko is short for Nikola

 

 

Near bulgaria i think but they speak slavic aswell and their accents are eastern european so....anyways he is from Serbia

 

Yeah you got that location right but hey speak Slavic!? lol.gif There is no such language lol

and no thing as eastern European as different accents and nationalities are present

Why is suddenly everyone agreeing on him being Serbian?

 

I've been telling that for the past 2 years, ever since his name was announced. But no he had to be Russian "bcuz nething slavic is russian right :;DDDDDD and every slavic language is russhin"

Because it clearly says it in one of the cutseens near the beginning and Niko denies being Russian through the entire game.

At the start of da game roman says his english is better than his serbian, And in one faustan mission he walks into a gun shop and the gun seller says you russians are blah blah blha and niko says im not russian. Playboy X is always saying that slav killer or that slavic killer, Jimmy P is calls him a balkan, and ive heard various people call him polack, he is most proberly from yugoslavia which is now part of slovenia

Wikipedia Yugoslavia

And why would he be russian, he hates the russian mobs. Vlad, and all the leaders might of been friendlier to Niko and Roman if they were

When crashing a car, what does that one thing translate too that sounds like (I think it does) "wealdo" or "we all do". I don't know much Eastern European languages, mostly only some Bohemian words as I'm 42.75% Bohemian (Czech Republican). I always laugh when Brucie's mechanic yelled to Brucie after Niko kicked him "Brucie, some dumb Polack is here to see you!" or something like that, because I have some cousins that are Polack and I always call them "dumb Polacks". Other than Brucie's mechanic, the Russian mafia (I believe it's them) always call Niko a Polack. Niko is Serbian btw.

Polack is just a stereotypical term people use in the states when referring to someone from Eastern Europe.

Russia did NOT invent the Slavic Language

 

 

It came from Macedonia and Bulgaria

lol, yeah Macedonian.

 

The only reason some people say Bulgarian, is because Bulgaria, and Greece have put out all their stupid propaganda.

At school, I had a lesson about "The Truth about Macedonia" and Macedonians are pretty cool!

And people only think that Slavic came from Russian because Russia, is HUGE lol.

Jesus Christ in case you didn't get it I was satirizing people who are like that.

 

And what the hell is "the Slavic language"? Proto-Slavic? Proto-Slavic emerged around Kiev.

those Rockstars f**ing idiots could hire someone dude from serbia and pay him 200e to act Serbian language, cus they suck now....rly lame, even i cant understand sometimes when he is speaking serbian.....they made it too lame.

 

LOL at the guy who said that "Yugoslavia is part of Slovenia".....nice, dude, learn some history, whatever

 

when niko curses 'ti si imbecil'....aka 'you're an imbecil', that sound so much f**king lame....and other curses/regular sentences too....

 

and his last name, BELLIC....lol, our last names never ever have double letters in names/lastnames....that's a - for rockstars, and the way characters ingame speak his lastname is wrong....(ppl from balkans should know what i'm talking about)

 

rockstars didnt put enough effort in those details...they made the guy from serbia, tho they f**ked him.......

Either Yugoslavia or Serbia.

Yugoslavia doesn't exist.

 

and for the guy that told that Serbia is acros Italy in Adriatic sea, It isn't because Serbia doesn't have sea

In LCPD database:

 

"Unknown"

 

Niko and the other characters that comes from the "old country" (Roman, Florian, Darko and Bulgarin) have all "unknown". They are the only characters that have unknown there, so it's because R* doesn't want to reveal his nationality. It is a country in the Balkans, which one? We can't be 100% sure.

Hes Serbian... he speaks with a Serbian accent, my friend is serbian and he says its either a serbian actor playing a Yugoslav or hes supposed to be serbian. My Friend's name is also Nikola... I call him Nick but it could be shortened to Niko.

also Belic is a serbian name, the last name of a mayor of belgrade and a serbian footballer.

 

End of lol

Yugoslavia doesn't exist.

It did when Niko grew up there. After the wars he was moving around Europe doing odd jobs and searching for the traitor for 10 years before coming to America.

Bulgarin is from Russia. Niko worked for him in Italy.

 

And yes, Niko is Serbian. I can't believe this topic is still in top of the GTA IV forum.
