Online debate of the National Coalition for Decentralization (NKD) “Pandemic and economy: reality behind the numbers”
As the president can pay 100 euros that are not his by decree, asked Professor Rasa Karadjandza, Tanja Jakobi believes that this measure does not make sense, but asks citizens to take the money, while journalist Biljana Stepanovic claims that the government You probably would like as few citizens as possible to report. for that gift, which will be returned with interest.

In the online debate of the National Coalition for Decentralization (NKD), “Pandemic and economy: reality behind the numbers,” he noted that he could only praise the payment measure of the minimum of 30,000 dinars in three months, because it is the only net donation to the state.
When the 5.1 billion euro program is said, that money will not be given, but it includes the postponement of taxes and contributions and guarantees to banks for loans, everything is raised there, Stepanović explained, noting that “it saves the little ones”.
Large companies refuse to do that, because they tie hands, force them not to lay off employees or pay dividends, he noted and stated that certain branches of the economy, such as catering and transportation, expected great help, which was lacking. .
The only thing that would agree with Aleksandar Vučić is that we will know how the economy was based on the payment of VAT.
My company is 11 years old and now, for the first time, I will not pay VAT because I had no income, said Stepanović.
Stepanović warned that paying the minimum of three months is a way for the little ones to catch their breath, “pick up what they can do”, and that the situation will be really uncomfortable after the fall.
Speaking about loans from the Development Fund for the Economy, Stepanović noted that they are favorable, but she is not sure that they will be available to everyone, “only ours”, while the banks for loans, despite the state guarantee, will evaluate who can pay it.
Stepanović noted that she was the first to rebel against the 100-euro measure, because it is not economic, but exclusively political, even before the elections.
It is cleverly designed, because we will get our own money from the government that will borrow from the international market and pay it back with interest, and the ruling party expects us to vote for it, he explained.
Stepanović also assessed that it is a kind of injustice that those 100 euros are also given to pensioners, because they were not in financial danger during the pandemic and their pensions arrived, while some people lost their jobs.
The head of the Finance Department at EBS University in Wiesbaden, Rasha Karapandzha, said he would not bid on the assessment of the drop or GDP growth, noting estimates of any growth in the first quarter, when the industry produced ” exactly zero “in mid-March.
In the same sentence, politicians began to combine conditional and futur, Karapandža evaluated, who believes that keeping the epidemic under control is the most important thing for the economy at the moment. We are not a centralized economy for the president to increase anyone’s salary by decree.
With the decree, he can pay 100 euros that are not his, he added and evaluated that the state’s decision not to ask the International Monetary Fund for money is incorrect.
Karapandza explained that the IMF has determined a fund for assistance due to the pandemic, which has nothing to do with the reserve agreements, as they claim in Serbia.
The important thing is that IMF loans must be allocated and spent transparently, and when you borrow on the international market, you don’t say what you’re spending it on, it’s important to pay it back.
The sole purpose of the loans is to spend money non-transparently, Karapandža said.
Tanja Jakobi, an analyst at the Center for Public Policy Research, estimated that the distribution of 100 euros to each adult citizen does not make sense, but she asks everyone to take that money, because they will spend it better than the government.
The disbelief in the state is such that citizens will take the money and give it to whoever they think needs it, Jakobi said.
