The Freedom and Justice Party (SSP) has unveiled its program titled "Serbia After Vučić," detailing concrete steps for the first 100 days of a post-presidency government. The party aims to dismantle "key manipulation mechanisms" and ensure that "centers of the old system" can no longer impede change. An interactive website, srbijaposlevucica.ssp.rs, has been launched for citizens to provide suggestions and track the fulfillment of promises.
SSP President Dragan Đilas characterized the upcoming change not as a mere transition between democratic administrations, but as a fundamental shift from a "dictatorial, autocratic" system deeply intertwined with mafia and pervasive corruption. He stressed the necessity of clearly defining actions for the initial 100 days, outlining measures to exit the current crisis. Đilas presented a "government calendar" detailing the first 24 hours, a seven-day status assessment, the beginning of a new state at 30 days, and the consolidation of changes at 100 days.
According to Đilas, after 100 days, it must be evident that the change signifies more than just a personnel reshuffle. It should mark the establishment of new principles where public funds, state institutions, and elections are no longer controlled by a party, nor subject to pressure and blackmail. People's representative Peđa Mitrović added that the day-by-day plan aims to alleviate citizens' fears of chaos following an election and Vučić's departure, emphasizing that the current system must be dismantled first. Mitrović presented the plan as a method for "dismantling the SNS regime."
posle 100 dana mora biti jasno da promena nije samo smena ljudi, već početak novog pravila: javni novac, državne institucije i izbori više ne smeju biti pod kontrolom partije, pritisaka i ucena
