Recently, some media relying on a reliable source leaked by a Serbian government official, reported that pending failure to win the votes for its controversial draft-resolution at UN General Assembly, Serbia has prepared another secret plan, which in exchange  for letting go of Kosovo seeks from the U.S., EU and other relevant factors as compensation nothing  less than the repayment of the $31 billion external debt of this country.

Serbia's external debt is around $31 billion dollars, or about $4,000-5,000 per capita. Serbia is ranked among the countries most burdened by foreign debt.

A report by IZIT, a Serbian trade research institute, says that this plan is already  on the table of Serbia's President Boris Tadic, which will be used at the end  of this game. The debt of the former Yugoslavia before its destruction by Serbia's chauvinistic policies was  about 22 billion dollars, but the beginning of a series of crises since  1990 saw it grow to 121 billion dollars. Serbia alone has over 31 billion dollars in debt. While Kosovo, as one of the constituent federal unit in the former Yugoslavia, had over a billion dollars in debt. At the request of Serbia, before declaration of Kosovo's independence,  the World Bank forgave the debt of Kosovo in the amount of 550 million,  because Serbian Government argued that Kosovo's debt is not Serbia's obligation (and Kosovo could raise foreign debt as an ex-Yugoslav federal unit), holding the opposite stance when dealing with the wealth of former Yugoslavia. After the declaration of independence, the same argument followed after the Republic of Kosovo joined International Monetary Fund, with Serbia giving up its debt responsibility.

Serbia already has a deep economic crisis, both because of inflation  and major economic retraction. All its economic resources are at the stage of privatization, often sold at firefly prices to Russian businessmen in exchange of short-term political favors over Kosovo. This  country, among other things, is facing a very low birthrate, many  Serbian settlements are empty, while the number of young people are  fleeing abroad due to lack of hope.

Unemployment,  organized crime, high corruption, political instability and lack of  prospect for the future are the main factors that are damaging the country. According to the prestigious Foreign Affairs magazine,  Serbia is in the group of  states "at risk" of collapse due to  the economic situation, security situation, human  rights violations etc.

A million of jobless Serbs are scattered across Serbia but also in many countries as refugees due to the consequences of the Serbian fascist policy against other ex-Yugoslav constituent entities.

Incidentally, results of the "concern" by Serbia government for the Serb minority in Kosovo are being  seen as well. Loss of sound political reason and fostering of hate only brings disaster, self-destruction and nothing else.  Not surprisingly this is convincing the Serb minority in Kosovo to join the new Republic's state institutions and integrate into the Kosovar society as equal citizens.

Serbia's last political and diplomatic straw is all about money as chance to survive from its failed state status in the Balkans. Serbia does not care about people, certainly not about Kosovo or Western Balkans which not long ago it tried to subjugate acting as a regional colonialist and an expansionist power.
