DILEMMA LEAVE OR STAY IN SERBIA: SOCIO-CULTURAL AND POLITICAL ASPECTS OF BRAIN DRAIN
Keywords:
brain drain, mobility of knowledge, socio-cultural and political development of Serbia, Serbian intellectual DiasporaAbstract
Brain drain has put Serbia among the leading countries in the region and the world for two decades. Bearing in mind that the huge number of young people after the acquisition of education, professional skills and work experiences abroad do not return to Serbia, it is clear that this is not a so-called mobility of knowledge, but of a new kind of exodus of the Serbian people - this time the intellectual one. In recent decades our demographic breakdown has concomitantly been marked by our intellectual collapse and our development path has been followed by the lack of serious systemic and national measures the so that the aforementioned processes could be controlled and stopped. Although, in principle, there is a will for the potential of the young, talented people be used in the right way, which is discussed in strategic documents, the political elites and state institutions have not done anything concrete to make use of the intellectual resource of young Serbia as an engine of economic, cultural and political prosperity. This work provides a unique contribution to the debate on this complex issue.
