President Aleksandar Vučić announced at today’s conference that the government has started working on a program for the return of people from the diaspora, which should be ready in seven days, and emphasized that people’s interest in returning to the country is growing.
“This is about incentives, about the personal income tax law, where younger returnees who are returning from master’s studies have a 70% savings on taxes and contributions, as well as incentives for employers, and numerous privileges from customs exemptions that will go up to 20,000 euros, but it must go up to 50,000 euros,” said Vučić.

He also stated that the essence is to get people back, because if someone has earned and made their home abroad and worked there for years and decades, you can’t tell them to return 20,000 euros and not pay customs duty on that, but it has to be 50,000 and up to 100,000 euros.
“We are also working on a thousand other things on return. There are new initiatives, subsidies for self-employment of returnees, support for pensioners from the diaspora, and we have made programs with Germany and Austria. We must also do something for health insurance and we are now finalizing with Sweden, and then we will continue with Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and other countries,” said Vučić.
He also emphasized that people’s interest in returning to the country is growing and this can be seen through conversations with them.
The President announced that today six doctors will be presented who have returned to their homeland from different places and to different hospitals and health centers.
These are, as he stated, doctors Vasilije Tadić who is returning to the KBC Zvezdara from the USA, Nikola Tripković who is coming to the Clinical Center of Serbia to the hematology clinic from Switzerland, then Dalibor Stojaković who is returning to the Gračanica Health Center from Norway, as well as Dr. Danijela Stojanović who is coming from Norway to the KC Vojvodina.
Among the returnees, according to Vučić, are Milan Tešić who is returning to KBC Zvezdara from the United Arab Emirates and Dr. Marko Milenković who is going to the Vranje Health Center from Germany.
“We will continue to work. We want to bring back more doctors and many nurses, and we will also create a special team for the return of craftsmen and construction workers,” said Vučić.
He emphasized that there must be money for all these measures because they are essentially the essence of progress and that in addition to that human part, where families are reunited, which is the most important, there is also a great economic effect, because each of these people contributes to Serbia’s GDP.
“These are projects for which we always have money and we will always have money,” said Vučić.
