Serbian opposition candidate questions 6,000-dinar handout ahead of elections

Dušan Nikezić, a candidate on the 'Evropska Srbija' list, publicly challenged Finance Minister Siniša Mali over the government's universal 6,000-dinar payment, questioning its fiscal rationale given adequate state revenues. The exchange highlights pre-election fiscal populism concerns in Serbia. The impact is domestic and political, with no immediate market implications.
