bganon,
You could kind of argue that the Czech Republic and Romania are a couple of examples of what you'd like to see happen in Serbia, but I'm not sure how much further along Romania is and the Czech Republic's history is somewhat dissimilar to Serbia's. Obviously, the big hurdle here is corruption, which tends to be worse in the Balkans than in other parts of Europe. When politicians and special interests (probably mafia in some cases) form such a tight bond, it's difficult to (1) unseat incumbents and (2) influence incumbents to server the interests of the common people. It's actually like this everywhere (a big reason we see banking crises in the US and Europe, or continued offshore drilling by oil companies that in fact gets more risky as time goes on), but in the Balkans, you tend to see this in the extreme because of the communist legacy followed by war.
So I hate to tell you, but I do think your hopes are more likely to be dashed. More likely that Serbia will enter the EU and gradually meld into that system -- whatever it turns out to be over the next decade or so.
