PM on "best export results of century"

It's a pity that whenever there's a report of a grenade going off in someone's garden in Kosmet then extremist idiots of both persuasions will be queueing up to hurl abuse at each other. A story like this, which is actually important, passes without comment.

A prosperous Serbia is the key to absolutely everything, including getting Kosovo back. The slow unravelling of the American empire - albeit not nearly as dramatic as some of the "patriots" here would like to believe - is essentially down to to economic rather than political/diplomatic reasons. Extending one's influence overseas is an expensive business, as is waging war, and you can't do it if you're not making things and exporting them.

Serbia's export performance has been woeful in recent years. Though the latest balance of trade figures are far from perfect, they certainly represent a good step forward and are far more important to the country's future security than any gay parade, whether you're pro or anti.

The only reason why this figure is as high as it is is because of the decrease in imports - because we are not able to get as much credits, aka put ourselves in more debt. But, nonetheless we are going further into debt.

The situation is bleak in my opinion. In our free market approach we are at the mercy of foreigners. So in other words, we are a colony and exports basically mean more foreigners owning more of serbia. That's the only way to have more growth, to get more foreigners in and to sell more of our soil. In the meantime technology transfer simply does not occur and we do not have serbian companies but companies/sweatshops in which serbs work in. So where is the development I ask?

A landlocked country of 7.5 million people (let's not count the Albos for the moment, because they're not very productive) is always going to be have to interact with foreigners, which is different from being dependent on them. The Vinca people were trading as far as Tuzla and right down into Romania even in the New Stone Age. It's a perfectly natural way to live.
