Wait a minute. NATO bombs Serbia on a false pretext, causing immense human and financial cost, and we are simply expected to say great, thank you very much for completely screwing us.
Give me a break.
It is no surprise at all that the Eu is seen as what it is. A tool of the neoliberal globalists to control the region and have a say in the Silk Road and pipelines. And of course, the Serbs always lose.

@icj1- everyone around Srbija would be happy to see Srbija do bad, very happy!
However, that is not the case and they are all riled up because Srbija is slated to be built up and will prosper!
So yes, sweetie...if that makes me a lonely person, I love it!
If it's neighbors would ever get smart enough to work WITH Srbija, instead of insisting on its destruction, maybe they would have a chance.. otherwise get out of vucic's way!!

The "assistance" the EU provides amount to funding of anti-Serb NGOs
(Ari Gold, 3 June 2017 00:45)

According to Serbia's government, the EU is funding the following:

- Construction and commissioning of waste water treatment plant at TPP Kostolac B http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/310_526494_d2-contractnotice-en.pdf

- Procurement of Srbijagas gas management SCADA system http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/102_715381_c1-priorinfo-en.pdf

- Construction of the waste water treatment plant for the City of Raska http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/385_364084_d2-contractnotice-en.pdf

- Construction of the building for emergency services in Novi Pazar Health Center and finishing the construction of a new block within Vranje hospital http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/389_756385_d2-contractnotice-en.pdf

You calling the EU funding of the projects above "anti-Serb" only means that the only one who is actually anti-Serb is you!

As long as Germany's EU supports the break up of Serbia in their plan to dominate the Western Balkans there should be no support for the EU. Kosovo remains an integral part of Serbia. This German is just stupid and naive.

Romania gdp 1 quater 2017 had grow 5,7% and the new forecast for the whole year is +8% . Even poor Albania doesn`t grow the gdp faster than Romania . If this year Serbia gdp doesn`t grow with at least 2% , Romania will have double gdp per capita than Serbia . In last 4 years real salary from Romania had grow with 40% and the one from Serbia is worse than 4 years ago .

2016 gdp per capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

Romania $9465 Serbia $5376 Croatia $12000 our gdp will grow until 2022 with over 5% per year

Serbia can`t deal even with Romania lol then how to deal with West ? or even with Croatia ?

This +0,1% is the most bad grow from all Balkan and Europe

In my opinion Serbia gdp will grow this year with 2% 2,3% because all region grow

The real tiger of Balkan and East Europe is Romania

I am curious what will say now the haters and curious if they will ever have a gdp grow of 5,7% in any of quater until 2020 !

I am a gipsy , we are the real power , we make kids , we develop , we grow Romania

This highway he talks about is self-serving and NOT for benefit of Serbia. It will be harmful and bring Albanian criminals and mafia MORE into Serbia. Yuck.

The highway is actually a long-term U.S./NATO goal to off-load its troops and weapons from Albania's ports and then get quickly up to Nis and from there to the Black Sea.
NATO and the U.S. are building more and more bases in Romania, Bulgaria and getting more involved around the Black Sea to pressure Russia.

Despite having Russia as great friend of Serbia, the Serbian economy is nearing recession level again. It's managed to grow only 0.1% in the 1st quarter of 2017 (seasonally adjusted year on year). They did not put it into the headline, I guess. Historically this is the time when Serbs are looking for somebody else to blame for their economic woes.
(Contractor, 2 June 2017 12:51) #

Can you show us where you got those numbers other than from your hallucinations? Serbia's economy grew 2.8% in 2016, projections for 2017 and 2018 are 3% and 3.5% respectivley, putting it among the fastest growing countries in Europe.

The "assistance" the EU provides amount to funding of anti-Serb NGOs and the holding of trans and gay pride parades...thanks alot.

Everything else is private companies in Europe investing in Serbia. Investment, not assistance. This Nazi needs to chill all the way out.

I am anti-EU about 1/6th as much as I am anti-Putin.

In comparison with the EU, Russia is not an organisation with much to offer structurally or financially to Serbia.

Serbia would be a servant of Russian political ambition, whereas at least with the EU Serbia would take a place and have a voice in the governing processes.

All very good points by Sigmar Gabriel, although he does not mention that as EU is seen as Western and associated with NATO, there will always be some resentment.
Russia does very little for Serbia but gets constant praise and front-page news for every ruble it loans Serbia.
The EU provides massive support to Serbia yet is used as a scapegoat for many problems, and the support is down-played. I guess if the public knew how much money that the EU gives Serbia, they might realize that they are played for fools by the current government.

@Dwight: Did the EU already pay the 50 billion Euro for the war damages it did in their criminal 1999 bombing campaign against Serbia? Also the EU is still occupying Serbia's southern province! Serbia is getting irrelevant peanuts from the EU/Germany for being molested day in day out. It should kick all EU reps out and the war-criminal NATO reps as well. SFSN!

Forever Russia, never Germany. Unlike many other EU countries, we have a backbone and we don't forget our past so easily. That's why we are RED BLUE AND WHITE or upside down WHITE BLUE AND RED.

Romania gdp 1 quater 2017 had grow 5,7% and the new forecast for the whole year is +8% . Even poor Albania doesn`t grow the gdp faster than Romania . If this year Serbia gdp doesn`t grow with at least 2% , Romania will have double gdp per capita than Serbia . In last 4 years real salary from Romania had grow with 40% and the one from Serbia is worse than 4 years ago .

2016 gdp per capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

Romania $9465 Serbia $5376 Croatia $12000 our gdp will grow until 2022 with over 5% per year

Serbia can`t deal even with Romania lol then how to deal with West ? or even with Croatia ?

This +0,1% is the most bad grow from all Balkan and Europe

In my opinion Serbia gdp will grow this year with 2% 2,3% because all region grow

The real tiger of Balkan and East Europe is Romania

I am curious what will say now the haters and curious if they will ever have a gdp grow of 5,7% in any of quater until 2020 !

I am a gipsy , we are the real power , we make kids , we develop , we grow Romania

The "assistance" the EU provides amount to funding of anti-Serb NGOs
(Ari Gold, 3 June 2017 00:45)

According to Serbia's government, the EU is funding the following:

- Construction and commissioning of waste water treatment plant at TPP Kostolac B http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/310_526494_d2-contractnotice-en.pdf

- Procurement of Srbijagas gas management SCADA system http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/102_715381_c1-priorinfo-en.pdf

- Construction of the waste water treatment plant for the City of Raska http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/385_364084_d2-contractnotice-en.pdf

- Construction of the building for emergency services in Novi Pazar Health Center and finishing the construction of a new block within Vranje hospital http://www.cfcu.gov.rs/dokumenti/sr/389_756385_d2-contractnotice-en.pdf

You calling the EU funding of the projects above "anti-Serb" only means that the only one who is actually anti-Serb is you!

(Che, 2 June 2017 13:53)

Which Serbia's southern province is the EU occupying, dear? Or it's just more nonsense that you are writing?!
(icj1, 2 June 2017 18:53)

@icj1 - That would be the Serbian Province of K&M...Sweetie!
(Watcher, 2 June 2017 23:21)

Oh! And when did the EU take control of the Serbian Province of K&M?!

Your response proves Gabriel's point. You need to learn more about these bodies and what they do. As you appear to know nothing, maybe you should start with Wikipedia, where you will find NATO and EU are different organisations.

This highway he talks about is self-serving and NOT for benefit of Serbia. It will be harmful and bring Albanian criminals and mafia MORE into Serbia. Yuck.

The highway is actually a long-term U.S./NATO goal to off-load its troops and weapons from Albania's ports and then get quickly up to Nis and from there to the Black Sea.
NATO and the U.S. are building more and more bases in Romania, Bulgaria and getting more involved around the Black Sea to pressure Russia.

As long as Germany's EU supports the break up of Serbia in their plan to dominate the Western Balkans there should be no support for the EU. Kosovo remains an integral part of Serbia. This German is just stupid and naive.

Despite having Russia as great friend of Serbia, the Serbian economy is nearing recession level again. It's managed to grow only 0.1% in the 1st quarter of 2017 (seasonally adjusted year on year). They did not put it into the headline, I guess. Historically this is the time when Serbs are looking for somebody else to blame for their economic woes.
(Contractor, 2 June 2017 12:51) #

Can you show us where you got those numbers other than from your hallucinations? Serbia's economy grew 2.8% in 2016, projections for 2017 and 2018 are 3% and 3.5% respectivley, putting it among the fastest growing countries in Europe.

The "assistance" the EU provides amount to funding of anti-Serb NGOs and the holding of trans and gay pride parades...thanks alot.

Everything else is private companies in Europe investing in Serbia. Investment, not assistance. This Nazi needs to chill all the way out.

Wait a minute. NATO bombs Serbia on a false pretext, causing immense human and financial cost, and we are simply expected to say great, thank you very much for completely screwing us.
Give me a break.
It is no surprise at all that the Eu is seen as what it is. A tool of the neoliberal globalists to control the region and have a say in the Silk Road and pipelines. And of course, the Serbs always lose.
