If you're just beginning, I don't think it will really matter too much. I was also very conflicted about what ukulele I should purchase first, but then I saw this video on youtube... and it stuck me that probably the most important thing will be the amount of practice you're willing to put into learning.
I ended up getting a kala pineapple ukulele, and have actually been pretty happy with it. For my level, I definitely didn't need a very expensive one!
Also: do ukuleles cost more in Slovenia? On amazon.com, you can get the makala MK-S for about $50, which is about 47€...
I'm researching ukulele's for a friend's birthday present and this one seems to be very good for the price. Though the general consensus is that it benefits from switching out the strings
Best of luck with your training! My dad was active duty for 27 years.
I really want to learn to play the Uke.
Thank you for the contest <3
Something like the Makala MK-S might work for you. It sounds better than the super cheap plastic-y ukuleles but still maintains the nice "cheap" twangy, kinda stereotypical ukulele sound. I've got one myself and it's pretty well built, never had trouble keeping it in tune, intonation problems, or felt like it was about to fall apart in my hands.

Makala MK-S
Firebrand Ukulele. A whole starter kit though
It's going to be tough to find anyone selling a uke at that price on Reddit and/or Craigslist... If you can scrounge up another 30 or so bucks you can get this: http://www.amazon.com/Kala-MK-S-Makala-Soprano-Ukulele/dp/B00172UVG8/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1345579530&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=kala+makala+mk-sd. It's a great beginner's model, cheap, and doesn't feel like a toy.
I bought a Makala MK-S and a set of Aquila strings. I also bought a soft case and Snark tuner. All have served me well for almost two years.
A Makala ukulele sounds right up your alley!
This, for college. <3
I need something to do on the quad.
I sell a lot of ukes - mostly vintage. What kind of price range are you looking in?
If you want to go inexpensive, there are a lot of different versions of this uke:

It's a great deal for $50. I got my sister one for her birthday. It has a dolphin-shaped bridge. She likes dolphins.
The Makala MK-S was my first uke and it still serves me well. It also fits your budget. The strings it comes with are OK, but if you want some better ones, go for these Aquila strings. This Snark Tuner is also a nice thing to have.
