same narrative as in yugoslavia...IRL out of the 7 new countries, 6 are doing shit...serbia is doing the most shit because it was under sanctions for 20 years etc but macedonia/kosovo/croatia/montenegro/bosnia are doing far worse than they did in yugo...the standard of living is lower, the politicians are richer...only slovenia is doing "better" but IRL it is doing the same as it did in yugo...nothing changed except who you pay taxes to...

moral of the story:
Countries like those of the old Yugoslavia will be better off inside the EU. The EU gives money to these type of countries. We in Czech are doing better. In our small town we have two examples of wasted EU funds. A pond that dries up in the summer as it has no natural water and a small tower on top of of a hill. The only thing to see is the town.
