I love these ignorant Albanians as they are so easy; its like shooting fish in a barrel. Firstly I said nothing about Serbia wethering the GFC 2 storm as it would be affected, but since it has still not managed to recover fully from the economic sanctions of the 1990s the pain will be less unlike the more advanced countries.
Secondly, Serbia is a small country that has more than enough trade agreements to sustain its exports even during such an impending downturn and it does not need the EU to survive. This story perpetuated by the existing government in Belgrade and the west that all will be lost if Serbia turns its back on the west is just that – pure BS.
Now onto aid; as you and many here do not understand what this actually means let me explain it to you in very simple terms. When you read that “the EU has provided Serbia with 500 million Euros in aid over 10 years” - that’s crap of the highest order.
The overall calculation of aid includes all costs associated with providing this so called assistance from the lowly paid clerk to the people who prepare the press releases announcing the aid. Actual money in the vast majority of instances never even reach the intended country. Its mostly smoke and mirrors. You might get some material but not money. When you see the vast amounts of aid provided for Kosovo, well that includes the cost of keeping KFOR/NATO troops and EULEX officials and small functionaries in Brussels who scratch their butts included in that overall aid package.
Ask the east Timorese about aid. About 6 months ago one of their former Presidents demanded that the UN leave that country because after spending 8 billion nothing has changed, in fact they are poorer now than before. You see the 8 billion in aid to East Timor is the actual cost of having the UN there for the last 8 years.
Albania and Kosovo are closer to Somalia and southern Africa then Serbia ever will be. Have you not asked why they have US clowns from think tank institutions talking about “reintegration of the Balkans? Its because there are lots of your Albanians who will starve if work is not found soon.
I’m not sure what you think that Russia will not take advantage of Serbia, but the west will not do the same to your Albanians.
The IMF’s President is from the EU and its vice President is Chinese and before the end of this year Russia, Brazil and India will join the board – note that the US is now only a board member – you see the difference in 2011?
