Let us hope so, it would be the first one since independence.

But then again, if he wins it, the Serbs would probably invent his Serbian roots. :p

I wonder if Nordicist would advocate for this sheep-f***** (in his words) to be deported from Germany! :rofl:

However, I was curious: What kind of Croatian immigrants reside in Germany on average: High or low skill?

I am aware of the Gastarbeiter program and the resulting influx of ex-Yugoslavians and Turks (the major immigrants) –however, since Croatia was under communist rule, this would suggest that mostly high skilled workers would immigrate considering the possibility of economic advancement.

Also, interesting to note: He does not appear to be very Slavic. If he told me that he was German I would hardly be suspicious….

On average, low skilled, but there is significant number of high skilled immigrants.
What you suggested, possibility of economic advancement abroad is present now as well,
we call it "the brain drain".

There is no such thing as Slavic appearance friend.

Yeah! :mad:
How dares he to cure our people from cancer, we shall rather die out
than to allow this Yugo to practice his voodoo on our proud folk!
