This is not a Serbia-only issue and this is more of a christcuck issue in general. Similar views existed in Bulgaria throughout the Ottoman occupation, where people renounced the unfortunate reality in favor of heavenly escapism and other-worldism. You may know of the Bogomils, a christcuck sect that arose in Bulgaria and spread in Europe and later copied itself into the Cathars. The central theme of that sect was the renunciation of reality and the dedication of one's life towards a maximum spiritual grindset. It should not surprise you that these people were total gigaNEET losers who were crushed with ease. The core christcuck religion is just like that but to a lesser extent.

So to your question as to why the protestants decided to live in material reality, or how the Japanese invented so much, or how the Chinese turned their mudhuts into the LED skyscrapers - the christcuck slider for all of these was gradually pushed to the 0 side, some more than others. Orthodoxy on the other hand excels at pushing it near the 100 value, where the Sermon on the Mount becomes the primary morality of the nation. Which is also one of the reasons why we're all poor, from Serbia to Russia.
