Do you know anything about geography and real life in ex-yu? 90% of population of Croatia (except 10% in poorest Slavonia) lives between 5 and 9 hours DRIVE from Belgrade. Do you really think somebody from Zagreb,Zadar,Pula or Rijeka will drive 5-7 hours by car to Belgrade to take Easyjet to Milan? You need the same hours, and the same costs to drive to Milan itself. But I expected nothing less from you, knowing you had compared QR and SU to JU and OU some days ago!
