‘Ex-Yugoslav countries have great economical potential’

INFOREVIEW:  Do you see any dangers in the present European Economic development?
"EEIG: No. The previously mentioned high European level is the reason why increases in the West become less from year to year. That is quite normal. Countries which have not been so developed, have a good chance now to top all the Western European countries by pushing forward with an incredible speed and exciting increase rates. The countries of the former Republic of Yugoslavia are a good example of this development, which has a big economic potential. I personally do not understand why not all of these countries Member States of the European Union are yet – but I believe that this will be solved very soon."...
