Abstract

As years go by, citizens of Serbia are less interested in joining the European Union. This fact is clearly demonstrated by the research conducted by Center for Free Elections and Democracy (CESID) in 2012, according to which Serbia’s EU membership is supported by the less than a half of its citizens. In the early 2015, more than 70 percent of Serbian citizens said they do not want their country to join the EU. European Union is obviously not a political ideal, but an organization burdened with a number of problems, which is proved by the latest withdrawal of Icelandic membership candidature. From a geopolitical point of view, there is a German tendency to transform EU into a super-state, an empire, which will be directed by several European powers. Small countries would be ignored in every sense. The sole membership of small and underdeveloped countries is becoming risky due to these tendencies. EU will economically support rich regions, while the poor will remain poor, as waste disposal sites, places for exploitation of raw materials – which corresponds the concept of neoliberal institutionalism. Moreover, the membership in NATO or any other military alliance is not acceptable for Serbia. Unlike other European nations, Serbs have never been involved in military blocks. Never in their history did Serbs have tutors and superiors, except when they were occupied, and even then they inflicted serious problems to the invaders, proving that they will never be conquered. Serbia never accepted ultimatums, especially the one from 1914, so they will probably not accept the current “Recognize Kosovo” ultimatum. After the NATO aggression on Serbia in 1999, it became meaningless to seek the membership in that military alliance. Citizens of Serbia can never forget the human toll and destruction done by NATO. Consequences of that irrational and criminal aggression are impossible to count. Serbia was devastated, with thousands of dead and wounded, and a number of cases of malignant diseases has been dramatically increased as a result of use of ammunition with depleted uranium. Hence, for Serbia, the accession in NATO would be equal to the “drowning in the Atlantic”. A serious country with the intention to establish fair relations with everyone and to avoid future wars, would not engage itself in such military alliance. USA and NATO have officially accepted the doctrine of preventive wars, so Serbscould unwillingly take part in the future wars led by United States and NATO, maybe even against Serbia’s friends.
