They use absolutely same rhetoric to control the population in the ex-Yugoslav countries. Worse even, they use the same phrases that its so damn obvious. Most of previous privatization (in each country) was done under very shady circumstances (in Croatia even more-so than in Serbia because it started earlier, where medias would report more about wars and international politics) - mafia-style. The newly created elite got their money from back then nationalistic and now newly emancipated, pro-European (but still communist) political brethren, as their "skilled" businessmen (or businesswomen) were mostly taken from the rank of their children, grandchildren or so. Actual new entrepreneur groups emerged in this decade or so, and they are still small in numbers, and it will take them long to fully replace the previously mentioned leeches, that are still sucking the blood of each of our nations. You can say this part of the society, political and "old" business "elite" is a sort of the caste, which is incapable of producing anything. Its quite obvious that for most of "old" entrepreneurs our countries still jump in to save the day when their companies are dealing with crisis because they are tightly intertwined. Another example is how no one of these "old" breed of entrepreneurs can give some consistent story on their first million dollars.
