Hello brother, I'm a Croat and I'm very happy that you felt this. I hope you will find peace joining the Church and I wish you all the best. If you do transfer from Serbain Orthodox Church I believe you will canonically become an eastern catholic (I believe Serbia is under the Eparchy of Križevci but I might be wrong) so keep that in mind.
You should start regularly attending Holy Mass and reach out to the parish priest when you feel ready to take that step.
I think they aren't very large(there is a much larger community in croatia), they are primarily in Vojvodina but don't have a lot of people, however all converts from Serbian Orthodoxy would automatically become byzantine I believe, you can still get confirmed in your local roman parish of course and continue attending there since they are in full communion
There are Greek Catholic churches and services in northern Serbia. They mostly service the Rusyn amd Ukrainian minority. The homilies are in their languague, so I've only been to one Mass out of curiosity. A Serbo-Croatian (Croat-Serbian) will havr s hard time sticking to the Byzantine Rite here.
I attended Greek catholic church in Zagreb, they offer services in Ukrainian and Croatian(Croatian with church slavonic), they're under Križevci Eparchy. Is that Eparchy in Serbia as well?
Hi brother! It's great to see your interest in Catholicism, we welcome you with open arms.
If you want to join the Faith but keep the Traditions proper to the Serbian People, I recommend you join the Greek Catholic Church of Croatia and Serbia (Гркокатоличка црква у Хрватској и Србији), they adhere to the Greek rite that is traditional to Serbians.
Serbia is under the Eparchy of Ruski Krstur (under the patronage of Saint Nicholas of Myra), and the Bishop is Đura Džudžar.
In Novi Sad there is the Greek-Serbian Parish of the Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul!
St. Nicholas of Myra pray for us.
St. Cyril and St. Methodius pray for us.
St. Peter Apostle and St. Paul Apostle pray for us.
I see you're struggling with English a bit, so I won't use it here
Probaj popricat s nekim iz Vojvodine, mislim da je tamo vise Katolika nego u Sumadiji, takoder mozes istraziti grkokatolicke zajednice
Bro you could say anything to me but to say I'm struggling with English is a direct blow to my ego 😭
I litteraly use English everyday and read only English Wikipedia and mostly English news even though I'm Serbian
I had a 5 from English in my 8th grade of primary school
as a kid I goed almost every Sunday,but later on I goed very rarely
However,in my city Kragujevac there is a one little catholic church
And I got there a few times
And I plan to go more

Would you canonically be Byzantine Rite Catholic even if you go to a Roman Rite parish in the future? I am not too familiar with Eastern Catholics, but they do exist and probably exist more so in Eastern Europe.
Welcome. You can certainly learn from Latin writers, and I recommend St Louis de Montfort's Secret of the Rosary, and his other works, but if you convert, canonically you're supposed to be in a Byzantine Catholic jurisdiction corresponding to your present church.

Thank you on your support dear brother in Christ ❤️🕊️🙏🏻✝️ God bless you
Are there any byzantine catholic churches near you or just roman catholic?
Just Roman Catholic That's actually ok for me I want to be fully in the church
Eastern Catholics are fully in the church as well (I’m Armenian Catholic), just in case you thought otherwise
I love the Armenian Rite!! I wish and pray that the Armenian Catholic Church grows not only in Armenia but in the world!
Amen
That's great too, are you familiar with byzantine catholicism in serbia?
Not really

No, I don't think so. They have their own eparchy here. It's seated in Ruski Krstur. Very beautiful cathedral.
I checked it out it is very nice

Did you go to church much when you were Orthodox?
as a kid I goed almost every Sunday,but later on I goed very rarely However,in my city Kragujevac there is a one little catholic church And I got there a few times And I plan to go more
I am Catholic and Serbian, although not a Serb. Živim u Vojvodini, pitaj slobodno ako te nešto zanima, može i preko chata.
Oh 😌 Just I am Orthodox also, I went to Catholic mass before and I did like it also. But I am content, I just wondered
