40% of Serbians Optimistic About Economic Situation

Some 40% of Serbian citizens expect the economic situation to improve, while in Croatia such hopes have only 11% of the people, 26% in Montenegro, and 37% in Macedonia.

The survey shows that 33 per cent of Serbian citizens expect their financial situation to improve, money.bg informs, citing the Tanjug news agency.

Despite being the most optimistic in the region, 41% of Serbians do not expect the economic situation to get better. Many of the polled believe that it will get even worse.

The survey shows that three-quarters of households in Serbia have at least one unemployed member or one who has lost part of their income during the economic crisis.

The poll was commissioned by the European Commission and was conducted among 1,000 people in September.
