The protests against Milosevic have begun, so we are afraid of civil war. There are signs that what happened in Kosovo may happen in Vojvodina. After so many years under Milosevic, people have become completely financially and emotionally impoverished. If it came to another war after all this, this country would become poorer than the poorest African countries. Already, the health service is in dire straits.
People only go to the doctor if they absolutely have to.
There are no medicines, the hospitals, the ones still in one piece after the bombing, are in a desperate state, and their staff are totally unmotivated since their salaries are months in arrears. People say the programme in the universities has deliberately been changed so it won't be recognised in other countries - in an effort to stop qualified students from leaving for the West. Because of this many, including me, are wondering whether it's even worth studying. Many would like to leave for the West. But the problem with that is that it's extremely hard to get visas, something which makes prospects even more limited.
