Kosovo - a long wait for the gravy train

The custom barriers are down for the Western Balkan states but the open door may swing both ways. As the weakest agricultural economy in the region and, most likely at the back of the queue for EU membership, Kosovo's farmers face a long wait for the riches of Europe to come their way. In the meantime cheaper imports, the struggle to meet high quality export standards and a lack of local expertise could push many to the wall more from the IWPR... Interesting to see a 'lack of will-power' cited as a problem but maybe, in these circumstances, normal EU policy of holding back subsidies until a candidate state starts reforming itself is too harsh.
