For the good of Europe give Serbia a chance

Božidar Đelić So what if you can travel a visa-free travel regime most Serbs cant afford to travel. Even the EU captives cant travel in the over priced Euro zone and look for cheaper eastern Europe were they don't use the Euro so their money can go further like to Bulgaria ,Croatia ,Turkey etc it is happening more and more. So what your profital company's were sold mostly to the EU country's now they will be enjoying the profits not Serbia or its citizens. So is all of Serbia to be put up fore sale and its citizens to the highest bidders. Is that the very weak economic strategy of the government it looks like it. Do you think Serbs will get menial jobs in western Euro zone they will be competing for the few jobs with millions of Poles ,Romanians etc and send Euros to fill in the deficits. It dosent look like your government has any sensible economic strategy only a lot of wishful thinking.

This is a good article and perfectly reasonable approach for Serbia's continued economic growth, which has been very strong in recent years -- 6 to 7% is something to be proud of. Investment, both foreign and domestic benefits everyone, from empowering people with jobs and income to increased revenues for the government. Combined with incentives such as the lowest corporate tax rates in Europe (only 10% last I checked) further promotes the positive economic growth cycle. Evidence of this can be seen with the recent Indian IT deal. Mr. Delic rightly argues that external support along with internal progress can benefit the entire region. Keep up the good work Serbia, it looks as though your strategy has been successful so far.

He neglects to add one tiny detail to his rosy picture...the 6+ million Albanians who live in the Balkans, 2 million of them in Kosova, who want absolutely nothing to do with Serbia. And trust me my friends, saying "Then you should go to Albania" is just not going to cut it in this day and age. So yeah, sure there should be stability, but that can't come if 2 million people live under a state they don't want. That is why today Kosova is independent and free.
