Recently, Serbia became candidate country for EU membership. A large number of debates and public opinion research was to begun. But those researches are mainly concentrated in urban areas forgetting about smaller rural communities.
What are actual thoughts of common people from village about this burning topic? To answer that question, we visited Bački Monoštor.
"This is a big step for Serbia, but it is happening too fast and without thinking process because politicians see EU membership too exclusively as their top goal. They better should concentrate on real problems within our country" said Stamenka Radodoajic, 23 years old. "I'm afraid that there is a too big gap between our and European standard, but i think EU will improve village's economy and young people find better job opportunities outside Serbia"
Optimism about entering EU is not shared by everyone. Most of the people are indifferent or not sure if entering EU would be good for them or not. Zlatan Lancic,25 years old, even told that there are many reasons not to enter EU. Nevertheless the majority of the asked people thinks that their village will profit from EU and that they are happy that young people will be able to leave the country for a job in other EU countries.
