Economist\u00a0<strong>Mihailo Gaji\u0107<\/strong>, Program Director of Research Department noticed that the public sector, besides high spending, also provides very poor services: \u201cAccording to our research, Serbia has by far the most non-efficient public sector among all transition countries. The only way for public finances to mend, and for citizens to live better, is to decrease spending and not to enforce an increase in levies on people and economy\u201d, said Gaji\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>Economist\u00a0<strong>Miroslav Prokopijevi\u0107<\/strong>\u00a0gave his support for this event and stated that the problem of enormous state spending is a global one, with effects especially harsh in developing countries such as Serbia. \u201cActions like these are necessary but not sufficient. I propose a \u201cFiscal Constitution\u201d that would limit state spending and indebtness without regard to who is in power. Everything else is unsustainable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Taxpayers March has received support from experts, prominent public figures, several associations as well as Liberal-Democratic Party, Nova Party and \u201cDosta je bilo\u201d movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At press conference by Libek at Media Center, second Taxpayers March has been announced with a motto\u00a0\u201eDefend Your Wallet!\u201c\u00a0and is sheduled for Saturday, September 20th at 12am \u2013 from Student Cultural Center to the Finance Ministry.
