My experience at the US Embassy in Belgrade was great as usual (I've interviewed for a couple of non-immigrant visas there before): everyone was very polite and organized and the whole process took about two and a half hours. The consul that interviewed me asked me about my previous trips to the US, whether I've lived someplace other than Serbia (and the US), a few things about my wife (current employment, etc.) and they looked the pictures of the two of us I brought asking a few basic questions about some of them (where the pic was taken, the occasion, when was it taken, etc.) and a couple of more really basic questions about some of the things from my application before approving it and wishing me luck for my future life the US.  After the interview I went back to a window and I was offered the choice between coming back to the embassy to pick up my passport when my visa is printed or to have it delivered to a DHL office of my choice. Since I'm not from Belgrade, I chose the latter and my visa packet arrived at my local DHL office two business days after my interview. All in all, a great experience.
One note: if you're coming to interview for an immigrant visa, be sure to let the embassy employees doing roll call outside the embassy know that since they generally call the names off the, much longer, non-immigrant visa list and you'll be on a separate immigrant visa list.
