Money. As if the amount of downright stupid politics done by natives wasn't enough, the West (led by Germany at times, then by USA at other times) added more. At times you guys really helped Milosevic, and then at times you helped us who wanted to get rid of him, then helped him again... I'm not saying it was all done for your own interest's sake, but most of the time it was in a gentle manner of a benevolent elephant in a glass shop.

As the end result, my customers went broke and I could pretty much close shop. If you remember, I had a 40% ownership of a little software company back home. I still have it, but its value is close to zero now. So I came to where the market was.

And don't get me wrong - I'm not a staunch anti-communist. If the capitalism was all that good, the idea of communism would never have caught root. And without communism, the capitalism loses its most important ingredient: competition. It doesn't feel any need to improve and to show the people it's better than the shop across the street.

But then I'm not anti-capitalist either. There's a lot of good to say about it, but then if I see something I don't like, I won't talk behind your back. I'll say it straight - that's what friends do.
