Serbia has finally snagged its slice of the Western Balkans Growth Plan pie – a cool €51.66 million advance straight into the budget! Yes, you read that right, the EU decided to throw some cash our way to nudge reforms and get us closer to their standards. But wait, there’s more – another €59 million is waiting to be spent on investments through the Western Balkans Investment Fund. Mali claims this will bring lower production costs, new jobs, and better quality of life. Sounds like a fairy tale, right? But how much of this money will actually arrive and will anything really change? Oh, and Serbia is now part of the SEPA system, meaning faster and cheaper euro payments – thanks, EU! Is this the start of an economic miracle or just another EU fairy tale? Comment below and tell us what you think – will this money truly transform Serbia or just line some pockets again?
