That is such a maddeningly tragic place. They had an economic infrastructure that could support the manufacture of aircraft and exportable goods (the Yugo wasn't great but it was better than a lot of Eastern European stuff at the time) and they threw it all away to refight 600 year old wars.
I worked with a Serbian guy in Japan and he was one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I can only hope that things work out for him how that he's back in Yugoslavia. He sounded somewhat positive in our last email exchange.
