Description
Summary:This film is part of the ten episode documentary Balkan Express - Return to Europe, a German-Austrian co-production, in collaboration with European Stability Initiative (ESI). Heralded as one the "most ambitious TV projects on Southeastern Europe produced in recent years," the series was awarded the "Erasmus EuroMedia Grand Award" in 2008. Serbia: Exit Europe explores two powerful but contradictory forces now at play in Serbia. The loss of Kosovo has rekindled nationalism and bitterness towards the international community, while the victory of the pro-European forces in the May 2008 elections steered the country towards EU integration. Key questions hover over Serbia's future: Is Serbia on track to joining the EU? Is it confronting the crimes of the Milosevic era? Or will the Stabilization and Association Agreement with the EU remain on hold and application for EU membership a distant prospect?
