Maybe the investments are bigger in Bulgaria right now but I visited it twice in last few months and it doesn't look any richer than Serbia. Belgrade is five times bigger (and better) metropolis than Sofia. Salaries are smaller in Bulgaria than in Serbia and their roads and cities look really depressive. From economical point of view I think Serbia is more ready for EU than Bulgaria.

I think Bulgaria, it has a MUCH better tourist trade.

the stain of all the civil wars is only really just starting to leave Serbia in the world's eyes, but Croatia has gone on to become a very popular tourist destination so perhaps there is hope in the future for them.

but on the whole Bulgaria is seen as a much more desirable place, you get not only tourists but a lot of Western European expats coming to Bulgaria to start businesses in the hospitality industry and I really can't see that happening in Serbia just yet.

I would say Bulgaria. Frankly speaking, Yugoslavia was a prospering country , so the capital of nowadays Serbia Belgrade was a rich place with a lots of investments coming in. but after the war the country suffered a lot and hasn't recovered yet. So judging by my experience visiting both, i would say Bulgaria is richer by far.

Without any long motivations I say Bulgaria ( and I have to correct my mistake, Bulgaria IS a member of EU, sorry). Bulgaria is already quite a good country for tourists to visit.

If Belgrade pretends to be richer than Sofia, it should build at least a metro system and many other things that Sofia has got them. I think, every city has its beauty, but Belgrade needs to eat more bread until it reaches Sofia. Greetings from Italy. I've been in Bulgaria five times, and the coast, the buildings and nice nature, I don't think, Serbia will have them one day. Serbia needs to keep its geografy, not fighting with Bulgaria.....
