Yes, Lenny yes. Now wake up and take medication to stop talking BS – make sure Doctors give you very strong dose.
In October 2019, the World Bank reported that 21.9% of post 1990s war Croatian population migrated from Croatia to other parts of the EU/world. Therefore, making Croatia, after Malta, the highest rate of emigration in the EU. Yes, that was the World Bank.
The European Union Federal Office for Statistics in Wiesbaden reported that in 2018, Germany’s population increased by 400,000. The three largest contributors came from No1. Romania, No 2. Croatia and No 3. Bulgaria. Note the highest contributors are ALL members of the EU.
As far as your claim of people migrating permanently to Croatia well that’s Croatian BS at its best, since the only jobs available are during the tourist season where every profession is in short supply from chefs, cooks, wait staff, cleaners etc for a period of ONLY 3 months. People from as far as the Philippines work on the Croatian coast during the peak season. Once the season is over those who you claim “migrated to Croatia” leave.
Slavonia, Krajina and Lika are empty. Osjeck only has the elderly remaining.

Fake Italian Albo it must have taken you many hours to put this one together LOL.
You and your bro Time raised the subject of diapers and I guess since you know all about these things you must be wearing one. I generally like to avoid commenting on people who wear them but you and Time appear to be experts on the subject so I can take it from that you guys have a full one now.
Note: another fake investment has taken place in Serbia where Mei Ta invested 150 million Euros in two factories in Obrenovac. It will employ 2,400 workers in the first factory and 400 in the second one. Also note: not one Albo will be employed LOL.
Has Mei Ta announced a third factory in Kosova yet? When will NCR lay the foundation stone in Pristina? Still waiting!!!!!

Well one thing is clear. These morons have wisely moved on from claiming recognition is right around the corner...lol. They've moved on to hoping for the Serbs to simply disappear. Between recognition and extinction we all know extinction will be the only way this is going to work for you. Have fun waiting. Oh and Danny boy, please tell us who your government leader is so we can see the shining example of a good politician? Lol please tell me you're American??

I just want to point something out, which may not be obvious to all.
Essentially, between the ages of 0 to 21 years old, a person is a financial burden on the state. Between the age of say 21 (assuming that person went to university or participated in vocational education) to 67years of age, that person can be a worker and an income earner, so contributes to the economy, but then when they retire beyond the age of 67, they again become a burden on the state. (state pensions and medical expenses).
What the EU (and Switzerland) are doing to Eastern Europe is exploiting them by encouraging corruption, nationalism and stifling their economies. Then encouraging the youth (21+year olds) in eastern Europe to temporally relocate to western Europe (Switzerland, Italy, Germany), were they will work, live and pay taxes to the EU there entire working life, and then encourage them (via nationalism) to not assimilate but instead to return back to their original homeland (e.g. Albania and Serbia) when they retire so they don’t become a burden on western europe. So essentially, in this case, Albania and Serbia take on the financial burden of educating their citizens, and then providing welfare for them once they retire, but all of their productive years are spent working for the benefit of other countries. This is why Eastern Europe, in particularly Albania and Serbia are poor and will remain poor.

Many nations have lots of pensioners. Certainly true here in England. Thats why we now have to work to 67. Yes, thats work... Something Albanians are not too familiar with....LOL.
You see Time, in 35/40 years those young people will be old as well. And then what? It happens to every nation. Care to comment on Croatia? Or Rumania, Bulgaria, Poland, etc??
And its very true that Albanias population is declining sharply. Kosovo population is declining due to people escaping anywhere they can. And if they get visa free travel Kosovos population will halve within 5/6 years. Your comments...??
So, I really dont get your childish comments. Its as if Serbia is the only country in Europe to experience this..!?
I've come to the conclusion that you are a bit simple (thats being kind). But if I say it straight.... you are just plain and simply thick........

By far the biggest is Croatia with a 20%+ fall. Care to comment...? So, look at the bigger picture instead of talking through your a*s...... again..!!!

Serbs clueless as usual. Last year 21,000 Croatians returned to Croatia from working abroad. Croatian world wide diaspora are also returning growing by 14% yoy. 43,219 foreigners moved to Croatia in 2018 and were granted temporary residence of those. About 31,000 immigrants came from the countries of the former Yugoslavia, mainly Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo. Of those Serbs made 6,354 from Serbia. Qualified for temporary work permits of those a lot applied also for permanent residence. They like to qualify for pensions as permanent residence. Being more then double then Serbian ones same with wages. The most is from Bosnia 19,560 also good part is Bosnian Serbs. Croatians from Bosnia are not included as they have Croatian citizenship and are not counted. Yes the biggest population fall is by Croatian Serbs being duped as usual by criminal mother hive Belgrade Serbia. Good news Croatian tourist numbers are the biggest ever up 5% and tourist spending revenue up a whopping 20% in 2019. Economy in 2020 projected to grow by IMF 3% and tourism numbers even much higher. Which gives a big boost Croatia's economy in all sectors.

Here is the problem and it lies between government and the Serbian people. 1. Government needs to be more standard European pay rates, crime needs to be fought, lifestyle increased, medical dental needs to be complete free or minimum costs to citizens. Law needs to be implemented. The leadership of Serbia needs to be strong not have a President who talks with his head down and pauses like he is about to cry every minute. 2. Serbian People start acting like people, stop beating wives, stop smoking and acting like fools. Teach your children to be men to be women when they grow up. Stop all this I am gay because God made me that way. Even if your Gay you can have children raise them teach them correctly how to be adults. This country was only great when it was part of Yugoslavia this is the same for Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia and yes Croatia. Start growing up!

Typical reaction coming from known genocide deniers: shoot the messenger then compare apples with oranges. Personally speaking, I’m delighted that the population of the heavenly people is shrinking.

VFUK has no need of diapers, but you fake Italian Albo certainly do. Since you see a young generation living in Kosovo perhaps you might tell everyone which industry opened for business in that region recently to soak up that mass unemployment? Surely your beloved US would have done something; anything at all perhaps? No?
Here is another fake investment for you - Mei Ta spent 150 million Euros building two factories in Obrenovac employing just under 3,000 Serbian workers – Note Serbian workers and not one Albos.
I’m still waiting for the date NCR will lay that foundation stone in Pristina. Amazing how you people kiss US arse and you get NOTHING at all while Serbs spit on them and they rush to please the Serbs. Go figure that one LOL.

Why would Serbs want to have children in corrupt Serbia when they can go to Germany and live a comfortable family life with benefits. What normal person would want to stay in the Balkans with a monthly salary of $300. What a joke. (Mostar, 16 January 2020 09:39)
If a person has access to sufficient capital, has nerves of steel, and loves a challenge, Serbia can be a good place to do business.

As far as Kosovo having the youngest population under 25, that was true during the Communist era but not now.
The Communists nor your goat herders in Pristina ever held a proper census. It’s all talk about a young population mate.
However, if I am wrong, I am more than happy to say so, but pray tell us all how does this “youngest population” manage to survive? Where are the jobs in Kosova? Who has invested there since 1999?
Over 1 million Albanians in Albania have migrated to the EU/world in the last decade but by some miracle the Albos in Kosova have not despite no jobs. Albania openly admits it now has one of the lowest birth rates in the world but once again by an even greater miracle the Albos in Kosova continue as if Tito was still in power.
Where is this new Kosova government going to get money to support people with more than 3 kid? Pristina LIVES OFF EU AID. Do you think that the Germans are going to retire at 97 instead of 67 so Albos can have more kids LOL?
Read the opening lines “Although more children have been born in Serbia over the past few years”. The Belgrade government has started to address that problem and that will take time, but even rich Croatia, you know the one that “financially sustained” Yugoslavia, has lost 21% of its population and give it another 5 years it will be a retirement village.
You people grab at anything then post drivel.

The population in kosovaaah* has decreased by over 20% in the last 5 years! Albos are lining up outside bus stations and foreign embassies begging to leave their isolated and impoverished hell hole! Some are even paying Serbs to smuggle them through, which is great for the economy. Keep it up! :-)
(, 16 January 2020 06:32) -
This population decline is happening all across eastern europe, and in the bigger scheme of things it looks like Serbia is doing pretty well when compared to most other east european countries, like for example Ukraine who’s population has dropped by over 10M people over the past 30 years (53M in 1991 while its only 41M now), Romania has also had a relatively significant population decline over the past 30 years, from 23M in 1991 to just over 19M now, and I’m sure if Albania and the province of Kosovo actually did an accurate censuses for once, we will find even greater population decline there.
But on the bright side, some of the positive effects of population decline need to be said too, for example an improvement in the labour market due a decreasing number of job applicants, and declining youth unemployment. A decline in the competition for existing resources within the population is also a benefit (e.g. lower house prices, lower rents) and a Population decline can also rise the per capita income of that country too. not to mention the quality of life will increase too, due to lower vehicle traffic, less environmental destruction, reduced carbon and nitrogen emissions, reduced pollution, re-forestation and better air and water quality as the population decreases.

Of course deaths have increased since bombing of Serbia with depleted Uranium. Cancer is rising, people have died in wars and depression has taken over the young, thus losing interest in having families.

No need to panic. As long as Serbia has patriots leading, there will be no crisis but the only thing to worry about is the quality of the leaders. Are they patriotic or not?

Got to love how the vultures are circling whenever there is bad news for Serbia. Funny thing is that this isn't just a Serbia problem. This is a European problem. Fact is that educated people have less children or simply don't reproduce because they take economics into consideration. Where some countries have an average family size of 7, only one or two of their kids live a long and successful life.

Time.......just to follow up.....
Why do you rejoice at the population fall in Serbia????
Is it perhaps that you see an opportunity in the future to try to steal more Serbian land? You know, like in Kosovo where Albanians have for many decades bullied, intimidated, and cleansed the area of non Albanians. Is that where your joy comes from????
If you want more land can I suggest Mongolia. Its a huge country with a tiny population (3-4m). Or what about Canada, the worlds 2nd largest nation with less than 40m people. You can claim to be the long lost people from some tribe there. A bit like you claim to be Illyrians....LOL....

I think they have done remarkably well considering......
But their population and birth rate will start to rise when the government takes action.
For your information Bulgaria, Poland, Rumania, etc, have all seen population declines. By far the biggest is Croatia with a 20%+ fall. Care to comment...?
But Albanias population is also declining as they climb into backs of lorries to get out. And Kosovo.... dear me.....
How much has that population fallen??? And if you had visa free travel Kosovo would be all but empty...LOL.
Its also a fact that poor destitute people have higher birth rates. Kosovo is in that group. You have kids, they grow up in extreme poverty and look to get out anyhow. So, look at the bigger picture instead of talking through your a*s...... again..!!!
