Fuck your mobile labour , stay in you own country and do what the rest of us did and fight for a decent living wage and standard of living. Do you think that we just accepted what an employer said we are worth, no we fought for our standard of living through trades unions , protests etc!!!
You think that would work in Serbia, or Africa. It doesn't. Been there, done that.

and you think we will simply stand by and let economic migrants just erode all those rights away. All is happening is resentment towards these people who think they can just wander around Europe and pick off jobs for a few ££ or €€ an hour less than a local.
That's what big economies do to small economies. Mass production, price lower for a few cents and small economies are pushed out of the market. All that undeveloped countries have to offer now is cheap labour. Why is it not allowed to be offered in all the markets?

In the UK and I assume in other EU countries there is a minimum wage to protect us from totally unscrupulous employers. If these people keep coming in the droves they are you will see a rise in Nationalism along the lines of what happened in the 1930's and NO ONE wants to see that again, but keep pushing and once that train starts rolling it will be very difficult to stop.
But that train has rolled long time ago in Syria, Iraq, and even in Europe - former Yugoslavia as the best example.
The problems US was mostly responsible for (with the aid of UK, Germany mostly) is now coming back.
The main problem is that the poor will suffer most - refugees taking most minimum wage jobs I presume. Middle class as well. But the rich I presume will keep getting richer and richer no matter what.
More than half the world population lives in poverty, hunger. Until a worldwide (communist) revolution happens, it will never be good, or right.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
