“Serbia can achieve its goals”

To all Serbs.

Why is the US so keen to get Serbia into the EU......so they can get you into the same fix as Greece. There is an hidden agenda here. The US and Western Europe want only to dominate you. I for one tell them to go to hell. Don't let them do to you as they are doing to Greece and other European nations. Please wake up!!

Essentially, Serbia is bankrupt, except for European and US handouts it would be an economic basket case. Why do you think Serbia so desperately wants to join the EU.

Yes, exactly two, namely Switzerland and Norway. But for their own reasons, and you don't really want to compare them to Greece, do you? Or do you mean 'other countries' like Albania, Moldova, or the ex-YU countries? Look at the map, there are not much other non-EU countries in Europe ;-)

If Greece wouldn't have the EURO currency, you mean. But I read here yesterday that all EU countries must have the EURO - I don't know where some people get their information from.

"But maybe if it had never joined this economic club, it would not have gotten into its current mess. "
I agree. As I said, Greece would have a living standard close to the one of its neighbor Albania, but wouldn't be (more or less) bankrupt. In a way you are right, maybe all the EU support made the Greeks lazy and inactive, so they didn't have to care for it's economy. On the other hand, Greece was bankrupt before once(or twice) before the EU even existed

Yes, Serbia should stay outside the EU, and stay on the same level and standards as Albania (that's where Greece would be without the EU).

FU, f-ing american politicians. Of all of the so-called "countries" coming out of the "Former Yugoslavia", Serbia is the only one that can feed itself. It is the only one that exports food. What ticks off all of these american deadbeats (national debt = 15 trillion dollars and rising) is that the Serbs can live without the us of a-holes. That is why they keep shoving money up tadic's arse. To make Serbia as dependent as the usa.

Serbia will never ever become a member of EU.

And what will the US do,
when Serbias Neighbors,
members of Nato and EU,
begin to Chew up,Yugoslavia,
when the War starts in the Mideast ?

Arn.Sweden.

ahh yes - the intellectual level of serb hypernationalism at its finest.

This is why they're willing to give up 70% of what they're owed on Greek bonds, just to give Greece a chance to survive? Funny kind of domination, if you ask me.

The main goal Serbia has is to kick the US and NATO out of its occupied territory. As history repeats, that will certainly happen.

Have you been eating the clown corneflakes again??

What planet do you live on??

Serbia knows what needs to be done to get the EU candidacy. No pressure at all, just some clarifications.

Zoran,

Serbia tried to kick out the Albanians and failed miserably, what makes you think they can kick out the US and NATO. your fantasies are child like.

FU, f-ing american politicians. Of all of the so-called "countries" coming out of the "Former Yugoslavia", Serbia is the only one that can feed itself. It is the only one that exports food.

-- Let's throw some reality to this topic. Last time I checked there was no milk in Belgrade. B92 had a whole series of articles that ran for months. I don't know about you but milk is pretty important. Don't kid yourself. If the Balkans was in another region of the world, Ethiopia would be centuries ahead of the Balkans, Serbia included. Consider yourself lucky we share a continent with countries such as France, England, Switzerland, Norway etc. If they stopped funneling money to the Balkans tomorrow, there would be no Serbia. Follow the money.

(that's where Greece would be without the EU).

Greece will be lucky if they end up that well off.

He didn't say "all" its goals can be achieved. Yesterday in Prishtina he signed a Status of Forces agreement with the government there - looks like the U.S. is planning on keeping its options open in Kosovo, even if Nato/KFor pulls out. Obama's foreign aid budget for next year has Kosovo as the 3rd largest recipient of aid (after the Ukraine and Georgia), so it doesn't look as though Kosovo's about to be abandoned any time soon.

I think I heard Tadic say If Serbia does not make it into the EU they will go with Russia. I also heard maybe a big military base from Russia could be built in Serbia.

True, there has been a shortage of dairy products, but another piece of reality: Serbian exports in 2011: cereals ($0.732bn), vegetables ($0.658bn) (these are two of the top five categories of Serbian export goods).

For comparison: Kosovo has an estimated export of $0.5bn in total, with scrap metal being one of the top categories
