Serbian President's Government Appointment: How Dare He

Serbia’s newly elected President, Tomislav Nikolic, is apparently guilty for appointing a political ally, Jorgovanka Tabakovic, to head Serbia’s Central Bank. The cack-handed powers that be in Brussels and Washington are incredulous that Serbia did not clear this appointment with them before hand, as well as changes to the country’s banking laws.

Peter Steno, a spokesman for European Union Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele, vented:

“We are concerned about the content of the new amendments to the law on the Central Bank … (the European Union) was not consulted on appropriate levels, including not being consulted with the European Commission.”

For those of you fortunate enough not to speak European Union, here is what he said. Who are the Serbs to think they can make their own laws for their country? We, the European Union, will decide what is best for the people of Serbia. We will tell you what you can and cannot do.

Do you honestly believe that Ben Bernanke (US Federal Reserve Bank) is an “apolitical technocrat,” and not an Obama operative? Or for that matter, that Mario Draghi (European Central Bank) and Christine Lagarde (International Monetary Fund) are not fully certified apparatchiks in the cabal called the Euro zone and European Union. Jorgovanka Tabakovic’s appointment as head of Serbia's central bank is at worse no different.

I’ll say it again; Serbs will not be serfs. Southern Europe will soon understand and imitate what is playing out in Serbia. It may be old-fashioned, but it’s as rudimentary as the air we breathe – its called freedom. It’s called national sovereignty.

In the end, you have to ask yourself this question. Do you really want to be a member of an organization that has Messrs van Rompuy, Juncker, Barroso, and Lady Ashton, as leaders?  Well, do you?
