I\u2019ve had it with the need to justify ourselves over nothing. It\u2019s as if we\u2019ve done something wrong against those who haven\u2019t become part of this initiative. We don\u2019t have to apologize to those that don\u2019t want to join us, but it will be difficult for them to explain to their citizens, why they aren\u2019t becoming part of this initiative,\u201d \u2013 he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Vucic, at this point, we have to take additional steps forward because citizens are expecting tangible results to come out of this initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUs three or all of us together need to discuss the following steps because people need to see additional steps. Citizens need tangible results. We need to organize in a way that allows us for example to grant our citizens to get 5% in stores and restaurants during the summer season and this would be subsidized by the state,\u201d \u2013 said president Vucic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/12\/21\/rama-open-balkan-is-an-aspiration-be-a-part-of-this-endeavor\/\">Rama: \u2018Open Balkan\u2019 is an aspiration, join us in this endeavor \u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/12\/21\/open-balkan-these-are-the-5-agreements-to-be-signed-into-law-by-rama-vucic-and-zaev\/\">\u2018Open Balkan\u2019 \u2013 These are the 5 agreements to be signed into law by Rama, Vucic and Zaev<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/12\/20\/berisha-open-balkan-seeks-to-instil-serbian-russian-hegemony-in-the-balkans\/\">Berisha: \u2018Open Balkan\u2019 seeks to instill Serbian-Russian hegemony in the Balkans<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic called \u2018Open Balkan\u2019, a great initiative that will shape the future of youth in the region.
