    Serbian has a much more clear and intelligible pronunciation compared to other Slavic languages, especially Russians. Back when I attended university one of the professors was an ethnic Russian and although he was absolutely fluent and had perfect grammar he still spoke Serbian with a noticeable Russian accent. I don't think any of them could get accustomed to our way of speech.

    For the first 20 seconds of the first video OP (blonde woman)= Greek trying to speak Russian.

    In other words= Not as hardcore as Russian, more Med-ish.

    In Serbian (and Croatian) standard words for fire, rain, forest and mountain don't match with other Slavic languages, except word for forest with Macedonian and for mountain with Macedonian/Bulgarian.

    Fire
    Ser/Cro: vatra --- Slov: ogenj --- Slvk: oheň --- Bul: oгън --- Mac: oган --- Rus: oгонь --- Ukr: вогоь --- Cze: оheň --- Pol: ogien --- Bel: aгонь

    Rain
    Ser/Cro: kiša --- Slov: dež --- Slvk: dážd' --- Bul: дъжд --- Mac: дожд --- Rus: дождь --- Ukr: дощ --- Cze: déšt' --- Pol: deszcz --- Bel: дождж

    Forest
    Ser/Cro: šuma --- Slov: gozd --- Slvk: les --- Bul: гора --- Mac: шума --- Rus: лес --- Ukr: лiс --- Cze: les --- Pol: las --- Bel: лес

    Mountain
    Ser/Cro: planina --- Slov: gora --- Svlk: vrch --- Bul:планина --- Mac: планина --- Rus: гора --- Ukr: гора, Cze: hora --- Pol: góra --- Bel: гора

    But in Serbian also exist word oganj for fire, and gora for both forest and mountain. Oganj and gora in Serbia in everyday speech are considered archaic. There is male name Ognjen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ognjen) among Serbs - in the literal translation "Fiery." And there are also surnames Ognjenović and Ognjanović. Fruška Gora (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruška_Gora) kept in the name other Serbian word for the forest/mountain, same as Mokra Gora (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mokra_Gora_(mountain)).
    In the past in Serbian existed word daž for rain, which has completely disappeared. Memory on that word in Serbian is preserved in the word "daždevnjak" ("salamander"), animal related with rain.
    Interesting for "šuma" ("forest") in Serbian is existence of mountain Šumava on the Czech-German border in the area which once was part of White Serbia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Forest
