I have to disagree with a lot of my diaspora Serb friends here. Despite Tadic's mistakes and humiliation he is still the best Serbia has at the moment. Not too nationalistic and not too servile (of course the degrees are open to interpretation).
People in diaspora basically think that Serbia is like the country they are living in (Australia, US, UK or in my case New Zealand) but with Tadic as the leader. OBVIOUSLY if that was the case then they would be right to hate on him, but this is NOT the case.
Serbs in diaspora will do wise to dwell on this point for a little while.
Serbia is a very small and weak country and it does not have the muscle flexing/building capabilities of industrialised and technologically advanced western countries. Therefore it HAS to lick boots to either get a better deal, make/keep friendly relations or simply surive. This is the reality that diaspora Serbs need to sink in to their heads.
Hey don't get me wrong, I love hearing nationalist remarks from Nikolic and co about how we should stay strong and not give in to EU or never recognising Kosovo etc etc but this is just rhetoric. This all sounds great to Serbian ears but where is the HOW in such speeches? How is Serbia supposed to increase their standard of living by flipping the bird to the west? How is defiance going to make us better off? Do we have a large nunmber of secret gold/diamond mines we don't know about or nano-tech labs working on research for various diseases and such?
The pride and euphoria people living in Serbia get after hearing such things will not quiet their bellies when it needs food and water.
