Success (Balkan version)

In order to succeed in the Balkans, one has to fight with things that either do not exist in the West, or are arranged so that they do not represent an obstacle. This is why it is much more difficult to “succeed” in the Balkans than in the West.

Difference

They say: When our people go to the West, they are great workers, how come they are not at home? It’s a matter of procedure/method: in the West, there is a method, while in the Balkans there is none. As long as this is the case, people will live better in the West.

Western Splendor

Eastern European countries were lured in by the “splendor” of the West, having to pay for it through the loss of natural resources, people, sovereignty, territory … They did not realize that the “splendor” is deceptive and that it is designed just for that purpose.

Upbringing

In socialism, we were brought up for lofty goals: all that capitalism offers are banalities and trivia.
