>>2466549I don't have a clear understanding of all the legal ramifications of the thing - or, I should say, of the scam - but it seems to me like Serbia nowadays is a kind of "special economic zone" the size of an entire country which is not a full member of the eu, yet is accorded some of the "privileges" of member states on a case by case scenario by the very generous and amicable people in charge in Brussels. I understand there's this chinlet as the strongman by the name of Vucic which is some kind of "right wing populist" who indulges every once in while in performative acts like going to Moscow for Den Pobedy and last week in China too, but on all things that count he's fully aligned to the west. He just maintains the fiction of not making Serbia join the eu and nato, but he's as good a gendarme for neoliberal policies as any other ghoul currently in government almost everywhere in the eu. Basically an "Orban plus", who can pretend something even more apparently edgy yet is just another dog with all bark and no bite as far as Washington, Paris, Berlin and Tel AvEvil are concerned.
>>2466549Bear in mind that "Stellantis" - a shitty name made up by a commitee, I'm sure - it's a very recent entity, a sum of the old PSA - Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Vauxhall with a minority share held by the French government - and FCA - Fiat and Chrysler. The Kragujevac factory has produced cars for Fiat for a long time, I guess long before the "Stellantis" merger and possibly all the brands have not yet harmonised their production, meaning they don't share what are called "platforms". The Moroccan factory must be primarily a PSA one, so I guess their assembly lines are not ready to produce cars from the FCA brands.
