Young people should never emigrate to other countries by Stefan Radovanovic


Our country used to be the most progressive one in South Europe. We were 100 years in front of our neighbors and now Hungary has made it to get into EU. Why is that happening? I think there are two main reasons for that.

One of them is young people’s opinion about politics. Fewer people are interested in politics now days than there used to be. Also, many citizens think that our country “sucks” and that’s the consequence of politician’s mentality. What I mean is that every politician wants to get a higher position in the state without the aim to help this country, which slightly goes down, but just because of money.

Costs of many students who go to high schools are being paid by their own country. After they finish school, most of them emigrate to other countries to find a job. That’s because they cannot find it here, or they aren’t satisfied with the current one, because usually they can only earn living wages. In this way our state loses perspective young people and others get completely capable and educated labour. At the same time, this is the second reason for not leaving this country – lack of jobs and money.

Personally my opinion is that our country isn’t so bad. But it’s distinctly clear that if we want to be looked at in a different way, we need young people who will follow through new ideas in aim to help our state and that’s why they should never emigrate to other countries.

Young people should never emigrate to other countries by K.Vicentijevic


This is a very delicate topic, especially for us who live in Serbia. I say that because many young people cannot find a job and that may be the main reason why they emigrate to other countries. However, I think that emigrating will not solve all their problems. In my opinion, there are two main reasons why young people should not leave their soil.
Firstly, the country where you are born and were you grow up and finish university is the best place for starting a business career and family life. You can never feel that safe and protected as in your own country when you live in a place where you are a complete stranger to everyone. If you have a problem, and do not have anyone to talk to about it, it can be very annoying.
Another point is that our country needs youth, wisdom and power which only young experts have. Their help is essential to us because we want to make progress, to have better life, and one day join the European Union. They have spirit we need in order to prosper, they possess strength which is necessary for us to endure on our way towards stability and Europe.
Living in Serbia may not be easy, but it is the fact that our children have something to see here and something to be proud of. Just owing to this we should fight for better life for our children, and we must not let young people leave the country. We must let them know that they are very important here, and that our future is in their hands.
