Nesto me zanima - kako Srbi u matici vide politicke aktivnosti Srba iz dijaspore. Ovde vise postavljam uopsteno pitanje koje me je stalno kopkalo - zasto bi neki ko je napustio svoju zemlju i ima zivot negde drugde imao bilo kakav interes i pravo da kroji politicku sliku zemlje iz koje je otisao.

kako Srbi iz dijsaspore vide ovo pitanje. Da li Srbiji treba dijaspora samo zbog para ili ima nekih drugih stvari u kojima aktivnosti dijaspore mogu da uticu na dobrobit matice. Na primer lobiranje americke administracije i slicne stvari...

Ja sto sam vidijo od Srpske aktivnosti ovde u Sydney-u ne izgleda bas kao neka strasna pomoc.

Ali mislim da Srbi, I drugi od ex-Yu naroda, koji se nadju u inostranstvu posle rata, i jos uvijek imaju jake veze za maticu, a isto imaju sklanjenost prema politici, ili prema nauci i takvim stvarima, mogu puno da doprinose svojoj domovini tako naoruzani zapadnom obrazovanjem, razumijevanje zapadne kulture, i Engleskim jezikom. Posebno ako imaju politicke ambicije, zato sto Srbima sada najvise treba su vodje koji mogu imati bliske odnose sa vodja iz zapada.

Meni brate vise lici da Srbiji trebaju pare - mislim da je vodja bilo i previse u poslednjih 15 a da ne kazem i 65 godina.

Ja licno imam interes samo za politiku koja mene licno dotice. Ne vidim zasto bih imao pravo da uopste pomislim da se mesam u sadaslju politiku Srbije ili nedaj Boze glasam. Poslednji pokusaj da se aktivira dijaspora u glasanju je bio poprilicno smesan - bar to se mene tice.

Srpski mi je nikakav, pa cu napisat ovu poruku na Engleskom.

First of all, I don’t think there’s anything that Serbia or Serbs aren’t lacking right now, so there we agree, they need all the money they can get.

However, if you look back at Europe (that is specifically the West, like Britain, Germany, France etc) after the second world war, during the Marshall Plan, one of the things that really fucked them and their economy was a lack of talent. It was something like 20 years till western Europe got back to any kind of decent standard in many things, including the skill and education levels in their labor pool, and most especially in terms of high skill people: that is scientists, technicians, medical doctors, and yes, even politicians. If our people, who are educated here but more importantly have a keen understanding of western culture and not to mention language, started going back there to live and make a career in any of these high-skill high-training fields then that might be a much bigger boost the diaspora can give then whatever cash we can spare. And one specific field that would be extra helpful would be in political and business relations with westerners who might want to develop relations with us.

And when I say leaders I don’t really mean you know, “We need great Serbian leaders to regain our honour, rah rah rah!” I just mean someone who won’t make us look like idiots – like Kostunica with his “EU made us lose those WC games.” Seljak… it’s like a diplomacy thing, you work to put your best foot forward. Remember during the war when the Bosnians had that nicely dressed, handsome young guy with the excellent English to get on CNN and present the Bosnian case vs the Serbian one? And we had some gruff dude who simply wasn’t even in the same league as that guy when it came to charisma or statesmanship. There’s no denying we have an image problem, and who best to represent Serbs in the west then people who have lived there?

In fact, I’m going back at the end of the year myself, I’m gonna check it out and see how it is – apparently there’s a pretty high demand for people with excellent English and good computer skills over there, to do all kinds of PR and liason type work. If the cost of living is not prohibitive, I personally don’t see much wrong with going over there and spending a few years doing that kind of work. Conditions permitting, someone with more idealistic ambitions could make much more then a few-year stint out of it.

It’s just a thought, I’m not like, drawing a hard line and say yeah this is THE ONE thing that the Diaspora can do, just one that isn’t as often talked about (probably because its not particularly attractive )

Ako imate kinte, ulazite u Srbiju. Otvarajte firme, budite gazde u svojoj zemlji i to ce za Srbiju mnogo znaciti.

Good analysis mate  !

Sta drugo da ti kazem sve si sam vec rekao - sa druge strane ja znam par ljudi koji su uradili isto sto i ti pa se zajebali. Uglavnom je problem sa birokratijom i sistemom koji jos uvek funkcionise na sistemu - 'uzmi pare i bezi' . Sto se mog primera tice ja nemam nameru da se vracam jer znam da za moj rad tamo niko nije zainteresovan. Sa druge strane niko ne bi mogao da me plati $5000 mesecno i da mi da toliko zanimljiv posao kao sto je to ovde.

Zvuci sebicno ali je tako - ja gledam svoje dupe kako i svako drugi na ovom svetu.

Pokrenuo sam diskusiju vise da vidim stav ljudi u Srbiji i sta oni misle o dijaspori i njenom mesanju u Srpsku politiku - jer ja znam da sam ja u Srbiji ne bi bas voleo da neko ko nije bio u toj zemlji zadnjih 30 godina odlucuje o njenoj sudbini.

Ja bih svim Srbima bilo gde da su rodjeni i bilo gde da zive dao srpsko drzavljanstvo ako ga zele, samim tim bi imali i biracko pravo i recimo da 75% poslanika biraju gradjani Srbije, a 25% Srbi u dijaspori...ili da bude neki drugi procenat nije bitno al bi sigurno imali pravo da daju svoj doprinos buducnosti matice Srbije...

Jes pa da radikali dodju na vlast. 

Pa ja ne sumnjam da bi radikali pobedili i u dijaspori...Samo iz Haga bi stigla gomila glasova za njih...
Ma mogu demokrate da pricaju o Evropi, integracijama i ostalom, evo danas sam cuo da ce mozda JAT da pocne ponovo da leti direktno za USA, a dozvolu za letenje tamo je izgubio 2002. godinice, zna se ko je tada palio i zario Srbijom, znaci kaze covek za vreme Zlobe smo imali tu licencu, za vreme demokrata je izgubili, a sad za vreme Kostunjavog cemo je nadam se ponovo dobiti...pa ce i nasa dijaspora moci da doleti direkt u Srbiju...

Salu na stranu, ali nasim ljudima u dijaspori bih dao drzavljanstvo ali bez prava glasa. Jeb ga batice oni tamo zive ko grofovi, a mi pasemo travu. Uvek je lako biti na strani demagoga i praznih prica a ne ziveti u takvoj zemlji. Sudbinu Srbije treba da kreiraju iskljucivo ljudi koji zive u njoj.
