Russian Language skills?? :

What language?? Serbians speak a combination of languages and dialects. If you mean White Russian, Serbia is not the place.
  • the Eskimo–Aleut languages spoken in Siberia
  • the Mongolic languages spoken in Siberia
  • the Paleosiberian languages
  • the Siberian Turkic languages
  • the Russian dialects spoken in Siberia
  • the Tungusic languages spoken in Siberia
  • the Uralic languages spoken in Siberia
  • the Dené–Yeniseian languages spoken in Siberia

Immersion:

Your three week trip minus travel time (3-6 days) is not going to be productive. You would be better off moving to Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York City, and living on the street.

Security clearance:

I don't see your trip as benefiting you on several levels,, including your possible need for a security clearance..

My $00.0002,,

YMMV, but I think you need more homework..
