Aleksandar Vučić

Governance
Vučić has proposed a drastic reduction in the size of government — cutting the number of ministers, state secretaries and assistant ministers along with their supporting staff — and eliminating what he calls numerous agencies, offices and administrative bodies that he says exist "with no substantial reason" for continuing. He has also called for further deregulation, including removing product-certification requirements he argues needlessly duplicate EU standards and raise consumer prices, and has said reform must also address bureaucratic arrogance within public administration.

Economy
Vučić has campaigned on a wave of wage and pension increases, including raising Serbia's minimum wage from 457 euros toward 500 and then 550 euros, pushing the average salary to roughly 1,147 euros by the end of 2026 and 1,400 euros in 2027, and tying future pension increases to wage growth so pensions rise in step with salaries rather than through periodic one-off adjustments; he set December 1, 2026 raises of 8% for public-sector wages, 12% for social-protection sector wages and 7.5% for pensions. Under a longer-range Serbia 2030-2035 strategy he unveiled in September 2026, he projects GDP growth to roughly 133 billion euros by 2030, an average salary of 1,320 euros by 2030 rising to 1,700 euros by 2035, and roughly 48 billion euros in cumulative capital investment through 2035 built partly around continued foreign direct investment, together with a push for longer working hours — arguing Serbia must "work more, not less" to compete with China, the United States and a Germany he says is moving in the same direction — and aggressive investment in robotics, artificial intelligence and data centers, including a domestic humanoid-robot factory and new state data centers in Niš and Novi Sad by 2030.

Education
Vučić has called for "greater openness to the world" at Serbian universities and colleges, and for expanding a dual-education model that pairs classroom instruction with practical, employer-based training so schooling better matches labor-market needs and prepares young people directly for jobs.

Infrastructure
His energy program calls for a comprehensive build-out of nuclear, gas and hydroelectric capacity, including small and large nuclear power plants he has targeted for completion by 2042 (with construction beginning before 2035 and roughly 3 billion euros required for the first plant), a network of new oil and gas pipelines and interconnectors, two additional pumped-storage hydroelectric plants, and roughly 2.4 billion euros for power-grid modernization; he has described nuclear power as "the cleanest and safest energy" available to Serbia. The wider 2030-2035 strategy also commits to 578 additional kilometers of highways and expressways and roughly 1,019 kilometers of new or modernized railway (including lines linking Zemun Polje, Belgrade Airport and the new National Stadium, and lines from Niš to Brestovac and Dimitrovgrad), plus 1.5 billion euros for roughly 30,000 kilometers of new water pipes and 1.2 billion euros for sewage networks.

Health
Vučić has announced that innovative cancer treatment drugs for breast, lung, liver and bladder cancer will begin reaching Serbian hospitals in October 2026, alongside plans for a new dedicated oncology clinic developed with international medical experts, and has pointed to recently completed clinical centers in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš plus the roughly 150-million-euro Tiršova 2 children's clinic now under construction. He has also promised further reductions in the retail price of common medicines, through expanded state cost coverage, and has set target dates for eliminating hospital waiting lists for procedures including MRI scans, cataract removal, heart procedures and orthopedic surgery.

Security
On defense, Vučić has emphasized modernizing the armed forces with robotic and unmanned systems and drone capability, framing the goal as Serbia being able to "protect our own sky and our own land" without depending on outside forces, while maintaining formal military neutrality; the 2030-2035 strategy sets minimum defense spending of 15 billion euros over the period. He has said Serbia will continue to rely on NATO's KFOR mission to guarantee the security of Kosovo Serbs, and has directed the army to help secure the northern border town of Šid and migrant reception facilities amid renewed migrant transit through Serbia.
