Serbs want to import brides

Belgrde - A proposal to bring 100 000 south-east Asian brides to
Serbia for bachelors, particularly those living in backward rural
areas, has caused outrage, surprise and laughter.
Labour and Welfare Minister Rasim Ljajic had to apologise to the
public after the state secretary in his ministry, Zeljko Vasiljevic,
said Serbia would benefit by bringing in women from "Laos, Burma,
Cambodia and Vietnam."
The number of Serbs is dwindling by 30&nsp;000 each year, the women
disinterested in bearing children and men interested in emigrating
westward instead of farming so something "must urgently be done,"
Vasiljevic said.
