>>2928008You mean Ratko? If you're talking about Bosnia, I don't think it's ever going to enter the EU with its fucked up political system. The only way I see it entering the EU is the EU wanting Bosnia for some reason and so having the High Representative force it through.
If you're talking about Serbia, then I don't think the Ratko funeral is going particularly relevant. I predict Bosniaks quietly returning the diplomatic staff they withdrew. Though for some reason Vucic is actually trying to use Ratko's funeral to claim to the EU and USA that he is fighting against right wing forces and falsely claiming that it was the biggest funeral in the history of Serbia (the actual biggest funeral was Tito's funeral, which held the record for the biggest funeral in the world until Mandela's funeral).
Regarding the views on the EU in Serbia, I already wrote about that in a post above. Basically, according to polls, there is slightly more people who want to enter the EU than not, but the number is always muddied by the "don't know" answers. A recent poll revealed that Student list voters are mostly in favor while SNS voters are mostly against. But the official standpoint of the two lists is the opposite, SNS being a pro-EU party while the Student movement refused to take either side for the Student list's program.
To expand on that, from what I've seen most people who are against the EU are against it because of geopolitical reasons (its affiliation with NATO and the West and against Russia), not for economics reasons. Meanwhile the people who are pro-EU seem to really want Schengen area membership, even though entering the EU won't automatically get Serbia in, and also there are non-EU members in it too. The pro-EU crowd also seems to believe it will just automatically revitalize the economy, which I find dubious. They also think someone like Vucic/SNS wouldn't be able to take power if Serbia was in the EU, ignoring the obvious example of Orban.
TLDR the discourse in Serbia about the EU is retarded.
