The arrogance is breath taking. An American is telling a European country, Serbia, how to organise, 'reform' itself so that it can be 'intergrated' into Europe. As if the Balkans are an alien entity from the galaxy Zorg or something and he is the man to say so. Is no one going to tell this man to "Go Home Yankee"?

"Biden to place accent on reforms, integration"
[Someone from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in no small way instrumental in the fragmentation of Yugoslavia wants to "integrate" European nations...into Europe.]
WASHINGTON - Joe Biden, due in Belgrade soon, will stress “the need for Serbia to hasten reforms and become an integral part of Europe,“ says Balkan expert Daniel Nelson.
The U.S. vice-president, who will also be taking in Pristina and Sarajevo on his tour, will be coming “without a carrot or stick,“ and will highlight the need for Belgrade to accelerate reforms and European integration, says Nelson, a director at the Global Concepts and Communications consultancy firm.
Biden will not be offering any incentives or threats to his colleagues, but will rather discuss the need to accelerate internal reforms with the goal of the Western Balkans’ integration into Europe, Nelson told VoA.
