Your points are disingenuous and suggest that Serbia wins in any case while it lacks higher ground. In case Serbia wants to join the EU they need a vote from Croatia too and this is a legitimate reason to block entry. In case it doesn'

You're wrong on almost all points because you're not seeing the primary reason this measure went through - the banks, telecoms and utility companies would never see the money anyway. This covers only people in crushing poverty and
