I guess that depends on whether you want to be free to live as a Christian, or prefer to have aggressive secularism in its multiculturalist incarnation rammed down your throat, and whether you want your country to have its own economic policy or to have its economic decisions dictated from Brussels (and indirectly Berlin). Full disclosure: my tag-line is a quote from remarks Slobodan Milosevic made when the kangaroo court in the Hague refused to allow him to show photographs of Bosniak jihadis exulting over piles heads from decapitated Serb prisoners. If FR gave us more room it would read "And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was about." -- Slobodan Milosevic

As compared to Putin who annexes neighboring countries, demolishes Catholic and Protestant churches and allows Chechnya to impose elements sharia law, including banning gambling and alcohol and requiring women to wear headscarfs? Serbia has the option of not joining the EU.

Let’s see: the main parties in Serbia that would oppose joining the EU have had their leaders kidnapped and brought up on war-crimes charges against which they have been prevented from offering an effective defense; the remaining members of the parties subjected to incessant vilification by the spokesmen of NATO, the EU and the Western media; Serbia’s spiritual heartland has been forcibly detached and is still occupied by NATO to enforce rule by a government composed of criminal gangs that financed themselves by drug-dealing and trade in human organs harvested from murdered Serbs; and the pro-EU parties have received massive aid from Western governments and Soros-backed NGOs, and Serbia “has the option of not joining the EU”. Okay, sure, and Germany had the option of not signing the Treaty of Versailles.
