Saicic Promises Stable Dinar and Wages in First 30 Days
The academic and Student List candidate tells NIN what a new government would do: dinar rate, wages, pensions and energy in 30 days, the 2027 budget, and measures within 100 days.
Academic Radomir Saicic, a Student List candidate for member of parliament, said in an interview with NIN that the aim is not to wait too long over forming a new government and not to run the legal deadlines down to the last day. The Beta news agency carried the interview on October 29, 2026, and in it Saicic also lays out what a new government would do in its first 30 and first 100 days.
The approach to that job, he says, has to be responsible and unhurried at the same time.
How long would forming a government take, and who would be in it?
Saicic does not see a problem in picking people for the ministries. The list would choose its experts from among 250 candidates and a larger number of outside associates in various fields, and he explained why:
“Really, among 250 candidates and a larger number of outside associates in various fields, it won’t be hard to choose expert people who will run the country best.”
He does not expect friction inside the list either, because, in his words, the shared interests have already been stated publicly:
“The entire Student List shares common interests that have already been discussed (the rule of law, the fight against corruption, freeing the media, economic development and much more), so no friction is expected there.”
What would be secured in the first 30 days?
The first deadline Saicic sets covers what citizens feel fastest in their wallets and their electricity bills. In the first 30 days, he says, a new government would secure:
- a stable dinar exchange rate
- regular payment of wages and pensions
- energy supply, including oil, gas and the operation of Elektroprivreda Srbije
Saicic summed it up in one sentence: “In the first 30 days, the stability of the dinar exchange rate, regular payment of wages and pensions, and energy supply will be ensured, which includes oil, gas and the functioning of Elektroprivreda Srbije.”
He also announces that a “budget for 2027 will be set and adopted, with a turn in how funds are spent, and with greater transparency.” The interview does not specify what that turn would look like or which budget items it would touch.
What would follow within 100 days?
For the longer term, Saicic announces measures he describes as decriminalizing the state. In his words, “within 100 days, measures will be taken aimed at decriminalizing the state, restructuring and professionalizing management.”
He sets out the order of steps like this:
“Institutional changes at the top of the mafia octopus are the first step, a precondition for all the others. Then opening the contracts to the public.”
In other words, changes at the head of institutions come before everything else, and opening contracts to the public follows only after them. Saicic does not say which institutions or which contracts would come first.
What would happen to illegally acquired assets?
The third part of the announcement concerns property whose origin is challenged. Saicic promised to seize it, but it would first be frozen until proceedings end. Seizure would therefore come at the end of the process, not at the start.
For those proceedings Saicic voices a hope for speed. He says he hopes they will be “quickly clarified, because money always leaves a trace.”
Everything Saicic laid out takes the form of announcements from a Student List candidate, not decisions by those in power.
