In his public addresses, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic rarely talks about topics related to his constitutional powers, instead he mostly talks about the matters that fall under the jurisdiction of other state bodies.

Thus, the „President of all citizens“ deals, among other things, with the minimum wage, the level of which is decided by the Social and Economic Council and the Government of Serbia. Announcing that „the search for a solution to lower prices and inflation“ will continue, the President also took over the powers of the National Bank of Serbia.

The President also spoke about the construction of the new Sava Bridge, the change of purpose of the Belgrade Fair and its merger with the company „Beograd na Vodi,“ the introduction of a river taxi, the new building of the Museum of Natural History, and even about the new rules for going on sick leave.

He also deals with the (non)introduction of sanctions against the Russian Federation, although the determination and management of the policy of the Republic of Serbia, both in domestic and international frameworks, is the responsibility of the Government.

He made the pensioners exceptionally happy with the announcement that they would be paid 20,000 dinars each between November 25 and December 5. Again beyond his constitutional powers.

There is Serbia and the Ministry of Tourism, but when it comes to the distribution of vacation vouchers – there is, after all, the President.

He also decides on whether and when there will be an early election, although his powers are limited to signing the decree on the dissolution of the parliament. Elections for councilors of the Belgrade City Assembly, as well as other local self-government units, have absolutely nothing to do with the head of state because they are announced by the National Assembly Speaker.

And in addition to numerous „borrowed“ competencies, the President occasionally deals with his work, so on the occasion of Serbia’s Statehood Day on February 15, he awarded as many as 169 decorations, while last Saturday, with his presence and address „from the heart, not from the head“, he dignified the promotion of officers of the Serbian Armed Forces in front of the National Assembly building.
