Kosovo: Now that they are independent, they are leaving.

5% of the population left this winter alone. The FT reported on p2 this morning:

This reminds me of the case of Surinam. It decided to cut ties with the Netherlands in 1975. (It was already an autonomous republic and a consitutuent of the Kingdom of Netherlands, like Netherlands itself.) Then, before the date, 1/3rd of the total population decamped for Amsterdam.


Be careful what you wish for.
