Gifts cost money.
President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić announced now that every adult citizen will receive at least one payment of 6000 dinars, and some even more, from the shareholder fund.
"Some people will receive 12.000 dinars, some even 18.000 dinars. There will be a total of 7.668.000 payments," said Vučić. It will depend on whether the citizens inherited some shares of public companies, he tried to explain, but did not go into details.
The calculation, according to these data, says that a little more than 46 billion dinars would have to be set aside for this undertaking.
This is not the only gift from the state that is planned.
For September of this year, a package of aid for pensioners, the socially disadvantaged and combatants worth around 600 million euros was announced.
