As Ireland collapses, Greece collapsed and Spain begins to collapse, the EU is for fools. Germany and others will leave before Serbia ever joins so give up this joke now.

"And here we start again,
If the stupid politicians of the 90's kept Yugoslavia as one country and if Albania became part of YU all the western balkan country's would have been in EU by now And that would be the best for everyone , no war but Cooperation."

-- This logic is flawed. If you think you got problems from Kosova Albanians, you'd be wishing Albanians did not even exist in this world if Albania actually joined in.( Maybe you actually do but whatever). Jugoslavia would be dissolved within the year. It would have never make it as long as it made it.
Also your logic is flawed because if your own brothers wanted out as late as 3 years ago; if people who speak the same language and have the same customs as you wanted out in the 90's, what makes you actually think that someone as foreign in language and customs and as aggressive towards Serb rule would be ok with it.

Ignorance is not something to be proud of. EU forcing countries to join? It is not possible to exit EU? At least try to Google some info.

Greenland actually exited the EU. Althouh it is more common to beg for membership and wait decades to be accepted.

Again, I stress it does not mean an automatic redemption and fanfares, it is up to the individual country if they benefit or not.

@Ment, thanks. I didn't know that Lisbon introduced an exit clause. I got my info from the Irish documentary "End of Nations" and that film was made before the Lisbon Treaty.

Hruz,

You ow me an explanation than, what made you happier since Hungary joined E.U.

I can testify - the only thing what made me happier is that *** hopefully *** some anti-constitutional moves of O.V. can be over-ruled by Strasbourg. But that's merely HOPEFULLY.

No other benefit, only pain in the a*s, and more importantly: pain in the valet. Regardless, are they thieves from MSZP, thieves from FIDESZ, neo-libsi LMP or neo-nazi nuts of JOBBIK. Which one is your choice? Mine? Given these choices I don't vote by intent.

The western Balkan countries need to become better country's for themselves, and to do that is the need of new politicians who care for their country and try to make their country better and not taking peoples money in to their pocket!
(Sadly that's now happing in the western Balkans)

1000 in Serbia. I wonder how many of those are actually Orthodox Serbs and which area they come from.
How the question was asked and age of the people polled is also important.

Polls can be manipulated simply by those things I mentioned so I really don't take any notice of polls.
How about Serbs go to a referendum and be asked if they wish to join EU if recognizing Kosovo is required and if they wish to join EU at all.

Haha, since when did joining EU become "voluntary"? The EU has forced country after country to join. In Sweden a majority were against joining EU one week before the referendum and in the last week there were major irregularities.

In the 15 years that passed after the referendum support for EU has NEVER gone above 50%. Sweden was tricked into giving up it's sovereignty by politicians without scruples or principles.

The EU is a prison of nations. Once you are in there is no way out. Even if 99% of the population wants to leave the EU there is no way to do it. There are only rules for joining. The rules for leaving are simply not there. After you join you're not supposed to leave. Leaving Yugoslavia was a piece of cake compared to the struggles that would be required for leaving EU.

@ highduke

huh? all I did was point out that something you stated is incorrect.

You stated "Most pro-EU/NATO sentiment is held by minorities"

But, most it is, in fact, held by Serbs (seeing as 63% of people polled would vote for EU and 15% of Serbia is comprised of minorities according to the last census)

What part of that are you having trouble with? The 63-15 part?

Ment

pre 13 godina

As far as the EU goes, I think Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, and the rest of the West Balkans countries joining the EU is a good idea in the medium/long term...but for now, none of us are ready. For our own sakes, we should not get anywhere close to the EU without solidly addressing problems like corruption, ethnic nationalism, and absence of the rule of law first. Otherwise we risk being in the position of Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia...countries with similar problems to the West Balkans but no outside stick to force them to change their ways.

For now, I think a "privileged status", in terms of trade and infrastructure with the EU would be good enough for all western Balkans countries.

In the mean time, the EU can focus on sorting out its own internal issues (finance, fisheries, agricultural policies and what not).

"Most pro-EU/NATO sentiment is held by minorities"

according to the article, 63% would vote to join the EU

Serbia is comprised of 15% "minorities". So, if as you say, 100% of them are voting for the EU, then 48% of the people in favour are Serbs.

Perhaps fewer Serbs are sharpening their opanke than you think.

We Serbs wont give up our control of the country, our traditional family values, the Holy Orthodox faith and the Serb Jerusalem KiM for The West's Materialism. Be proud and let the foreigners overcome their destructive jelaousy as they watch & learn how a successful ethnicity defends its collective interest CCCC
