A contract for a EUR 78,130 Japanese government donation to a kindergarten in the western Serbia was signed at the Serbian government building on Tuesday.
During the old Yugoslavia the Serbs siphoned all profits from Zagreb & Ljubljana but now they have to borrow.

You would know? Is this the revisionist history doing the rounds in your village? Next you will tell us that Tito is a Serb. Does the SFRY's 'Kosovo tax' count as 'siphoned' in your definition.
The "aid" Serbia gets from the EU is mostly LOANS which Serbian taxpayers have to pay back with interest. Also, the loans are to projects set by the EU, which often involves government meddling and does NOTHING for the Serbian economy, and in fact often harms it.
There was an EU worker who posted on here last year and said:
I work with the EU in Serbia. 90% of the money "donated" pays for so-called experts (like me) who don't know a thing about Serbia, from the EU, working for EU consultancy companies to work on various projects. Serbian companies are not allowed to apply for almost any of these projects. The money also has a number of conditions tied to it as well for Serbia to make reforms specifically geared to the way dictated by Brussels. Most of that money does not stay in Serbia. But it's not just in Serbia, it's the same in Bosnia, Montenegro and FRY Macedonia.

It's nice how Japan, who has such little to do with Serbia, give it so much aid.
I wonder if our big Serbs in Australia are even aware how much charity this country receives. Half a billion from Japan only.
Ethiopia was a popular destination for foreign aid in the 80s and 90s. It topped a total of 1.6 billion USD.
I wonder if Serbia has received as much as Ethiopia.
Probably getting close.

hmmm. I was curious, so I checked the Serbian government website for European integration. Looks like Serbia (according to them) got over 6 billion in direct aid from the EU.
How much have they gotten from Russia again? Just curious.
