Turkish Daily News reports that Turkey will receive 495 million Euros worth of development assistance from the European Union. While this figure may sound like a lot of money, Serbia will receive 186.7 million and Croatia will receive 138.5 million. When viewed in terms of Euros per capita, Turkey’s sum appears even less significant. Croatia will receive about 30.8 Euros per capita, Serbia will receive about 18 Euros per capita, , and turkey will receive about 7 Euros per capita.
