>This game of forcing local banks into debt, then forcing the whole countries into bailout, or this new version of wholesale robbery that you got, has already got old. If the big banks don't own everything they want already, I don't see how this will stop without a revolution or just general slavery.

They did not need really 'force' local bankers into gambling country pants on a global banking casino. All they did is provide steady river
of cheap betting tokens. (Near 0 percent borrowing rates). Then frogs did what frogs do. Jump inside that river.

>I wouldn't go for Tisa, it floods the surrounding few hundred meters every spring, anything you own there is not on your land, it's on water's land, and you have to wait for the water to let you in. And it's still too popular, the best places being already taken - but then with the real estate being rather cheap here, you may find a vikendica with all the infrastructure below 20K€, or even below 10, depending on the size, with fruit trees and all. I'd rather go for Tamiš, it has no large cities nearby. And what's wrong with Begej and kanal? Before you go shopping, come see my place, it's just two blocks from the river, and it's in the middle of the village. I feel so good there, I haven't been inspired to walk those two blocks yet, in these two years. And you should definitely try some of my brandy (or dad's, that's even better!).

We talk ;)
