Matter of fact? Evidence?
Evidence to the contrary: Most Serbians Want to Join European Union: Angus Reid Global Monitor
A large portion of the Serbian population is in favour of their country becoming a member of the European Union (EU), according to a poll by the Strategic Marketing & Media Research Institute [a Serbian polling firm -DoDo]. 69.3 per cent of respondents support the EU accession, while 30.7 per cent oppose it. ...On Jul. 31, Tanja Miscevic, Serbian director of the EU Integration Office, commented on the results of this particular poll, saying, "Most people associate EU membership with better living standards, prosperity, and freedom of movement, (but) are insufficiently informed about the accession process and conditions for EU membership."

Despite Kosovo Intervention, Serbians Favor EU Membership
What does the Serbian public think about the EU? Despite that the EU has brokered the Ahtisaari Plan that would grant Kosovo a form of "supervised independence," 63% of Serbians living in Serbia say they have a "very positive" (24%) or "somewhat positive" (39%) opinion of the role the EU is playing in the Balkan region. A similar number, 62%, say they think Serbian membership in the EU would be a good thing. Just 9% feel it would be a bad thing.
