Vucic's Programmatic Manifesto for a New Serbia: "There Will Be No More Untouchables!"
President Aleksandar Vucic spoke about reforms, the economy, work, energy, education, and the fight against the arrogance of power in a programmatic text for Kurir.
TL;DR
- Serbia has achieved historical economic results, reducing unemployment from 26% to 8% and tripling GDP, but further reforms are needed.
- The world is undergoing rapid political, military, and economic recomposition, with the US and China leading in AI development.
- Europe's position is complicated by energy shortages and regulations, and a lack of drive for progress compared to its past.
- Serbia needs decisive, structural reforms led by experienced individuals, not revolutionary upheaval.
- Key reform areas include drastically reducing government size, increasing productivity and work hours, overhauling the education system, addressing energy issues with nuclear power, and aggressively adopting AI and modern technologies.
- A major failure has been not freeing citizens from the arrogance and entitlement of power, from local to the highest levels.
- The president acknowledges personal responsibility for not fully addressing the issue of arrogance and states his support for ordinary people over the arrogant elite.
