i think what's holding us back is precisely because we lost this retarded touch. it's not common in our society anymore. serbs are whiny and cowardlike. if modern serbs fought you in 1914 you'd simply walk into serbia because they wouldn't fight, probably saying things like "the harvest was bad this year" and "have you seen how expensive the bread is". as someone from this country, take my opinion into consideration, the bad parts of our culture is nepotism (serbs are peasants that migrated to towns relatively recently). this leads to people looking out just for themselves and their family, nothing more (which makes sense for peasant people and their communities). because of this peasant in a city mentality, serbs have not been able to form a normal state. you're complaining about something that doesn't exist anymore.
