I think Serbia is only too aware of the future. Liberalisation in Montenegro was a policy that has been imposed rightly or wrongly from the "International Community" who were hoping to have the pick of the bunch - the fact that Russians have invested far heavier then "western" investers is a fault not with the Montenegrins but just the way things have panned out. What difference is it to have state industry and economy owneed by West or east ? In Serbia's case at least the Russians are not expecting Srerbia to sell it everything and also give away in the bargain 15% of it's territory!!! In that case where do you think Serbia will go? Also bear in mind that the Russians have been very busy buying up many others opportunities - another sign of it's economic rennaisance.
The assets should be sold to the HIGHEST bidder regardless of nationality.Capital knows no borders and these assets will be better managed in private hands with as little political interference as humanly possible.
You know, I almost feel Serbia should look at Montenegro as the epitome of what NOT to do in a state. If Montenegro, little more than a year after it barely voted for independence, is now essentially a stock portfolio and time share for Russian tycoons, I would caution getting all buddy-buddy with Moscow over the Kosovo deal. Obviously they will want something in return for standing up to the US, and I doubt hand-painted Easter eggs are what they have in mind.
