Frankly, if he'd stayed in Serbia he'd probably end up homeless even sooner (I'm from Serbia, so take my word for it). He mentions Croatia so I guess that he's one of 200+K Serbian refugees who were forced out of their homes during the wars in 90s, and these poor people who lost everything are permanently caught in a limbo between Serbian and Croatian administration. Serbia is not helping enough, and Croats don't really want them back. So IMHO he was much better off in US in any case. At least for a while he lived a normal life, put his kids through the school and so on... totally don't see the need for pathos with giving up on the citizenship and what not, it makes zero sense to me?!
