Even though the website only allows domestic shipping, I suspect (without knowing anything about that country or their culture) that the sort of company which sells a product like that would be pleased enough by the idea that a foreigner wants to buy it that if you contact them there's a good chance they'd be willing to send it internationally if you paid the shipping cost.

The listed price is 8,000 RSD (Serbian Dinars) is equal to ~£57 / ~$74 - so even if the shipping was as expensive as the item itself, it still wouldn't be insanely expensive for someone who really wants it.

Please note that they're selling only few components specific to Galaksija - 2 eproms with OS and Basic, print board, keyboard mask (don't know what that is) and some plastic base for all that. You'll need CPU, case and other generic components and you'll have to order these elsewhere. They mention they might offer full set later with some partner but not for now.

Yeah, I was a bit dissapointed with that, but it's understandable that they don't expect to sell a lot of those, it's not a business, just some nostalgia fueled fun project.
