In the conversation with Ivan Milenković, Šoškić underlines: "The economy is still working, taxes are paid, the budget is filled, and budget beneficiaries regularly receive their money, primarily salaries and pensions - both before and after the elections."
"However, state bankruptcy may follow if the systematic waste of citizens' money continues on overpriced and unproductive projects of questionable quality - EXPO, national stadiums and the like - and in a completely non-transparent manner that gives grounds for suspicion of large-scale corruption," adds Šoškić, professor at the Faculty of Economics and former governor.
Lustration and new people
Soškić announces that he will, if Student list wins, the new government will remove "bad staff", pass a law on lustration and investigate the origin of property.
"The freed prosecutor's office and the entire judicial system will do their job, and independent expert commissions will choose the best candidates for decision-making positions in the public sector, in public competitions, in a completely transparent manner," he says.
He thinks that today it is easy to find quality people. "This deplorable decline of our country and state institutions in the last ten years also has one great advantage for the future victorious government. People have shown themselves for what they are."
