Friedman: Crucial issue not Kosovo, but Serbia emerging as economic power N1 Belgrade 2–3 minutes _____ The more important question is not the question of Kosovo, which has to be put to bed somehow, but that of how Serbia can emerge as a significant economic power, said the world famous geopolitical author George Friedman. Friedman told the Institute for Politics and Economy of Southeast Europe (IPESE) that Europe has developed well, but that they are not going to help Serbia develop economically, because “they are not looking for competitors.” He said the Balkans are a region with well educated people, capable people, people who travel the world, who know what is to be sold and bought, and that the region finally has to start emphasizing the crucial question of economic growth in the world that is growing and taking advantage of it. “I have no idea how to solve the crisis that you have…because it’s not going to go away, and people will continue to make speeches at the United Nations. So the crucial thing for every country everywhere – focus on the center of gravity of your needs. Then take your capable businessmen, your capable technologists and so on, and turn them loose, to make things happen,” said Friedman. He said he thinks the European Union is “a failure, and the United States isn’t,” and added that Serbia might want to focus on the United States. The key is – use your talent to make money, that is the foundation of your safety, Friedman concluded. -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
