Leader of the electoral list "Aleksandar Vucic - United Serbia" Aleksandar Vucic said last night that his plan for the future is a small, strong and efficient government and that, if his list wins, he will, as prime minister, form a government where only three to five of the current ministers will keep their jobs.

"If we gain the people's trust, my plan is a small, strong, efficient, diligent government, with big changes. Maybe there will remain three, four, five ministers out of the current 31," Vucic told TV Informer.

He recalled that his plan is for the future cabinet to consist of 12 ministers and added that some of the current ministers will have other responsibilities.

"Some people will continue to do their work, some will go to the Assembly, some here, some there. But the atmosphere will be different. The government will be like a beehive. You will have to have 20 meetings a day, receive people, talk. When you are not in the government, you will not go to one place in Pirot or Prijepolje or Priboj, but to five places that day, so that you get really tired, rather than pretend to be tired and talk about things being very difficult for you," said Vucic.

He pointed out that things will also have to change as far as local leadership is concerned.

"I said 50 percent, more than 60 and 70 percent will have to change, because people are dissatisfied with the way they communicate with them," stressed Vucic.

He added that it is necessary to show patience and tolerance towards citizens and to listen to them.

"You have to work, you have to listen to people. Sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they're right. But you have to listen to them. That's why I tried to explain: I go to New York, I come back from New York, I go to Pirot and Dimitrovgrad. I go to Beijing, I get back, I go to Temska and Knjazevac. I go to Moscow that day, I get back and I'm going to Priboj and Prijepolje. People, learn this - don't be blinded by the lights of a big city and think that you are very important. But it's no good. I see they like to go to Athens, to Paris, but no one will go to Zagubica", said Vucic.
