Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced on July 8 that he would launch a ten-billion-euro investment cycle to make Serbia the country "with by far the greatest growth" in this part of Europe.
"Ten billion euros (will be invested) over four to five years," Vucic told the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation.
According to Vucic, "we can only cover" this level of investment "with five percent growth or higher without incurring debt, without having relative debt rise against the gross domestic product."
The president said he had insisted, in a meeting with Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, to "set aside two billion for youth, for young couples."
He specified that this money would go toward scholarships for students, to keep them in Serbia, and toward building 30,000 apartments for young couples.
Vucic said Serbia would be the country with the highest salaries in the West Balkan region within one year.
He said salaries may go up over ten percent.
