There Will Be No More "Do You Know Who I Am?!" President Vučić Exclusively for Kurir Reveals Plan for Serbia in 5 Points: Caring for People and Fighting Arrogance
The world around us is changing. Slower than we might want, but faster than we, consciously and subconsciously, can keep up with. We accept new information, technologies, but as social beings, we are primarily limited by our own experiences, nostalgic memories, and the mistaken belief that the era of our youth, in some form, will return. It will not. From the past, we only need to draw lessons, to come to terms with the new era, and to change ourselves. By changing ourselves, our habits, we change the future. We do not determine the future by our own desires, but by work and changes in habits and behavior. This applies to everyone, and especially to us in Serbia.
TL;DR
- Serbia must adapt to global changes by evolving habits and behaviors, not clinging to the past.
- Historical economic successes include reducing unemployment from 26% to 8% and tripling GDP, but future growth requires significant economic policy adjustments.
- Global shifts involve the rise of the US and China, with Europe needing to adapt its economic strategies and potentially its alliances.
- Europe faces challenges in AI development due to energy limitations, labor regulations, and a general lack of drive for progress compared to the US and China.
- Serbia, though small, can set an example for larger nations by implementing decisive structural reforms.
- Key proposed reforms include: drastically reducing government size, increasing productivity and working hours, overhauling the education system towards market needs, developing energy independence through nuclear power, and aggressively adopting AI and advanced technologies.
- A significant past failure was not combating arrogance and rudeness in public officials, a problem that needs to be addressed alongside economic progress.
