    Default One Third of Adult Serbs Now Unemployed

    Looks like Serbia needs the EU after all.

    As many as 172,422 people lost their jobs in Serbia in 2012, data from the National Employment Agency, NSZ, data has shown.

    The official figure does not reflect those individuals who lost their jobs but did not register at the NSZ, which pushes the actual number of unemployed even higher. There are 2.8 million people of working age in Serbia, a country of about seven million.

    According to the survey, those working in the construction, textile, metal and hospitality industries have been the hardest hit by the job losses.

    As many as 4,267 people with university diplomas lost their jobs, the statistics show.

    Prior to 2012, the country already had 755,442 unemployed individuals; with the addition of the 2012 figures, one-third of the total working age population is now jobless.

    Mladjan Dinkic, Serbia's Finance Minister, said on Tuesday that the government will increase living standards and stop the rise in unemployment by stablizing public finances, increasing exports and attracting more foreign investments.

    But Milan Kovacevic, an expert in foreign investment, said he had doubts that unemployment would decline next year under the current economic policy.

    "The government has stabilized public finances by increasing taxes so we have a situation in which the economy could be even worse off next year," Kovacevic said, adding that no major foreign investments were in sight.

    Kovacevic predicts that unemployment will continue to grow until the government implements systemic reforms of the economy, such as development of the real sector of the economy producing for the market and a rapid re-industrialization.

    In the region, the situation is worse only in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where nearly half the population is unemployed, and in Macedonia, where the unemployment rate has long exceeded 31 per cent.

    Serbia doesn't need the EU. If it did join, a good deal of those unemployed would move abroad. The Serbian population would shrink.

    The situation in Bulgaria is fine. Some people left for greener pastures in Spain and Germany but the population is still stable. If Serbia joined the EU some people will leave, that's to be expected but they would get a lot more foreign investment, funds for development, etc, and those things would help reduce unemployment quite drastically. It's why Bulgaria is in a pretty good place right now, low unemployment, reasonable wages, it's in a position of growth. Serbia? Not even comparable.

    ^Where's the money to invest? Four or five EU countries are under financial assistance (in either an official or unofficial way)... The unemployment rates are on the rise in a large bunch of EU countries (Greece, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy...).

    Oh, and Serbs don't want the EU to dissolve because they are expecting money that DOES NOT exist?

    Being in the EU makes the country more attractive to private companies. The EU offers development funds from its budget. These two things are separate. Portugal, and obviously Greece, spent beyond their means and deserve to go bankrupt but they are on the Euro so the situation is quite complicated.

    Your mirroring what the government is propagating to the people. Does the EU have to join Chinese union to get more foreign investments, and help reduce its unemployment?

    Joining the EU will disastrous for a weak country like Serbia.
