There is no comprehensive data on how many people have left Serbia in the last 20 years, but according research by Vladimir Grecic from the Institute of International Politics and Economics, the number is around 300,000.
Grecic says that in five years, from 1997 to 2000, about 500 Serbians received a PhD in the USA and just 10 per cent of them left the country after their studies.
A poll conducted by the Student Union of Serbia, showed that in 2010, 27 per cent of Serbian students were planning to leave the country permanently after graduating, with two thirds of them citing job opportunities as their key motive.
In order to keep them in Serbia, the state has to open up the labour market to them, to offer them jobs which match their education and salaries that allow them to a live decent, normal life, says Kovacevic.
