Today, Croatia is the second poorest country in the EU. When it entered the EU, it was not. Croatia was not poor and Serbs know that because we lived in the same country. .Serbs are not exactly enthusiastic about the idea of being in the EU when they saw what happened to Croatia. Without the sea, Croatia would starve. Croatia had a good economy, but it disappeared in the EU. Serbia has no sea, so how can it survive in the EU?

Serbia says to the EU, "If you don't do what we say we will leave the EU and stop you from continuing to send us lots of money and we will greatly jeopardize all the trade with the EU upon which we rely".
EU responds, "Ok then. Whatever.
Don't forget to close the door on the way out. Just wait a second first. Kosova is stepping in the door right now".

@sevasthvostanski5588
March 30, 2024 at 9:45 am
you are talking about a subject you know nothing about. Vucic is a Western puppet, who supports him in order to deliver the independence of the occupied part of Serbia, but since the Serbian citizens finally see the truth of his betrayal, and since he did not fulfill the conditions of his Western masters, Vucic realizes that he will lose power and most likely to be convicted of high treason, he is trying to survive by deviating from pro-EU politics. Kosovo and Metohija is a Serbian territory occupied by NATO aggressor, and Serbia, according to the UN Charter, has the right and obligation to liberate the country from the occupier, if necessary by military means,alone or with the help of historical allies
