Poverty and more misery by heavy industry go hand by hand ...
Serbia is actually expected to join in 2025, far fetched as that might seem to you and me

Even back home in Portugal, I fear that when my generation is gone, the one that still felt how it used to be part of one is gone, newer ones will eventually repeat the errors of the past.
1923 goverment was seen as a liberation one that actually fixed things, but that was in the early years.
Serbia is externally sponsored one. Angela Merkel visited just recently, and EU, on paper gives support. In exchange Vucic is doing whatever is needed, and they look the other way while he does his moves.
OCCASIONALLY he oversteps his limitations, and his sponsors give him slap on the wrist.
It might end up like Turkey, a country that's a perpetual prospective member.
I know whos influence on Serbia I would prefer. (for my self (eu) and for Serbia)
