He just arrived at power, then "First Deputy Prime Minister" and today's President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić informed the public that it is open from 7 am to 22:30 pm, every day.
There were later variations - he claimed that once a week he would receive citizens from five in the morning, talked about how he doesn't sleep and so on.
Now, in the text for Courier, Vučić promises to show by personal example that it is possible to work even harder. In a way, he already fulfills that - in addition to four hundred guest appearances in the media a year, he managed to write the so-called "author's text", and programmatically!
He also wrote the text: Vučić's five points for the future of Serbia
It must be fixed.
That short work says - the people must work harder! Instead of "revolutionary hopping and crazy", instead of "irresponsible ideas about shortening working hours", we should work more and more and more!
Time is running out, writes Vučić, of robots and artificial intelligence, we need electricity, a lot of electricity, we need nuclear energy, we need to abolish regulations, ministries and agencies. There is a leitmotif that Serbia is a "small country", but it can be an example to Europe so that China and America do not follow it.
We already knew that Vučić is a right-winger and a neoliberal, who emerges from that skin only for the sake of the moves he calculates to preserve power.
Let's say, when, through the state-owned Telekom, he pours two billion euros into dominating the media market and suffocating the competition. Or when he digs into the common room to hand out tenders to partners and small change to various groups - "grandparents", mothers, high school students...
With this text - which, for example, could have been published by German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz in, for example Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Vučić's favorite German newspaper - that right-wing and neoliberal position is underlined.
The worker is to blame for everything.
The garnish is futuristic – bring on data centers and robots – but the benefit to the common man, to the worker, is as nebulous as ever. Because, why robotize and digitalize if we don't get the opportunity to work even a little less?
At this point, it is worth reminding that the citizens of Serbia work by far the most working hours in Europe. The fact that they are not productive is due to an over-pumped state apparatus teeming with party cadres, embezzlement and theft, and a large number of jobs in the screwdriver industry, which Vučić is the patron of.
And the fact that you work for relatively little money in Serbia, and that inflation is a champion, is not exactly a motivation to work more.

He's really angry with his people now.
"Serious plan" in five points - published in Kurir! - it was put in the wafers of what the people want to hear. Namely, Vučić is angry at arrogant officials and local kabadahs, at all those from the system who ask "do you know who I am" and don't even wait in line at the cemetery to express their condolences.
He will show them his god! He announces the same in regular cycles, for approximately two years - he will clean up arrogant cadres, he will clean up the party. And that can never happen.
Because, in addition to being the patron of this economic model, Vučić is the supreme patron of arrogance in Serbia. He publicly amnesties and "dismisses" this or that official, he publicly judges everyone who is not to his liking.
Vučić only demands loyalty from his arrogant entourage. And even when he gets screwed - as, apparently, Nebojšta Stefanović did - the worst thing that can happen to a functionary is to live away from the cameras in some villa.
What can these "blockers" do?
Finally, why does the president always come out with some plans and visions? Even though jedared paraphrased former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt who said that anyone who has visions should go to the doctor.
Vučić plans, writes programs and dreams in order to simultaneously encourage and scare the voters that he will remain in power forever. It's worth nothing, the man already has a vision of Serbia for the next five, ten or twenty years, that's a serious man!
And these others? "The blockaders," writes the president, have no plan, program or result.
I would say that the president is wrong. If the "blockaders" win, maybe Serbia will not rush into the robotic future, but one thing is certain - the progressive cadres will no longer brag. Well, that is a kind of vision.
