I am all for immigration its a fantastic thing, we need doctors - professionals- etc. What we don't need are the un skilled who are out of work in their own countries. Its our country and we should be the ones who decide who is allowed in.   

So it's OK when Serbia pays for education of a doctor/engineer and he works in England, but it's not OK when a mechanic decides he'd rather not work for 10 times less money just because he was born in a wrong place?

But aren't most Higher Education students in Serbia self-funding? The majority either pay themselves for the higher ed or their employer pays (and presumably their contract keeps them there until it provides a return for the employer). Ironically the very reason the Serbs (and most EU countries) have reduced or stopped free HE and introduced tuition fees is because of the EU Bologna Accords, that aimed to standardise degrees across the continent and beyond (a noble aim), but incurred a cost implication for many HE providers (presumably after the fall of Communism and two Balkan War the HE resources in Belgrade were a long way behind other nations), which is typically passed on to end users.
