1,323 students from 38 faculties of the University took part in the survey, that also showed 28.9 percent would vote in favor of EU membership, a little over eight percent would not turn out for such a vote, while 22.4 percent had no stance on the issue.
Half of respondents do not think Serbia will join the EU, 24 percent think this will happen, while 26 percent have no formed opinion on this.
A little under 50 percent of those who took part in the survey think the main obstacle to Serbia becoming an EU member is the question of the status of Kosovo and Metohija.
When it comes to bilateral relations with Serbia's neighbors, students think these are worst with Albania, Croatia, and Montenegro, and best with Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria.
47 percent of respondents said they were not satisfied with Serbia's relations with the Serbian diaspora, 38 percent had no position on this, while only 15 percent said they were satisfied.
As for their country joining other international organizations, 61 percent had no stance on membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) - something interpreted by this topic not being present in the media.
51 percent had no stance on whether Serbia's international standing had improved when it recently chaired the OSCE.
A little over 60 percent of respondents are not acquainted with Serbia's activities in the UN. 48 percent think the country should join the World Trade Organization, against 14.1 percent who are against, and 37 percent who hold no position on the issue.
Nine out of ten students are not acquainted with the work of the Serbian American Caucus in the US Congress.
Overall, 50.8 percent of respondents said they thought Serbia's foreign policy was bad, while 29 percent assessed it positively.

I concur, the future looks not so bright for the not so bright!
Even in Russia the percent of pro-Nato university students would be higher than 12%. From my experience, Russian students are brighter than the Serb ones.

Well at least Serb university graduates are accepted throughout the world unlike Albos and their diplomas. A degree from either Pristina or Tirane are only good for the out house. No one accepts them. Russian students are smart but they think Albos are scrapings of a shoe.

Thank God the young Serbian generation did not sell its soul to the devil. The youth is the future and the future is now. As for the oldsters that are selling out Srpstvo za veceru, ko vas sisa!!!

Maybe you should check your IQ to the counter, won't even get a penny back. Tell me how Serbia benefits by being a member of NATO other than paying member fees and being forced to send soldiers in combat areas? Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Bosnian Muslims and Albanians were member of an elite group, the Nazi's and were sent to Stalingrad and came back in body bags. No thanks.

Can't help but laugh at some of the comments here.
NATO bombed Serbia and cause billions in damage while attempting to remove Kosovo so it's only normal for Serbs to be against membership.
Maybe if NATO countries paid the $100 billion in damages, apologised for its crimes, put Clinton, Blair, Albright, Clarke and the rest on war crimes charges and reversed recognition then and only then they may see an improvement. So instead of 88% being against NATO they could get it to perhaps only 81% being against.
As for the EU, wow, what a bad state it is in. Members on the verge of bankruptcy, the UK leaving and somehow the Serbs should look favourably towards it?

Serbia already has an ipap! Unless people start citing for radicals serbia will join NATO! Serbia can already be called a member.

So basically the Serbian so called "Universities" prepare low level workforce that is pathetically disillusioned and fanatic towards matters they dont really comprehend
This is exactly the mass of uneducated voters that are easily manipulated by propaganda.
Future looks not so bright for Serbia

A typical belgrade uni student is around 35 years of age living at home with parents. Mostly mum and dad are still paying for their education unless they are prostituting themselves for cash. They typically study for 10 years and finally some graduate and become pizza delivery guys.
So who really cares what they think?
if i were in their shoes id concentrate more on revolting against the dictator who is oppressing them and destroying their future and id worry less about nato as its inevitable that serbia will join.

Look at the stats and one can conclude that these reflect disillusionment with the EU, Serbian politics, maybe even life as it is right now.
Serbian politics from the last decenia is to blame.
Why, because the constant rethoric coming from the politicians (in order to elevate one's own position), the media, the nationalists and the populists of preaching 'it's them against us' together with little or slow progress in rebuilding the economy has made people, especially the young ones, numb and apathetic towards hope of a better future.
We need more positive experiences in our lives then disillusionment can make way for ambition and drive.
