Not every country has a spoil system, there's probably no need to change anyone in the institutions (except those very close to Vučić in dangerous positions)

Every ministry still has a team of people that are there based on their affiliation with the currently elected government. Of course I don't think they need to replace every clerk.

Which is a double edged sword since then it's hard to get rid of the incompetent and corrupt people when they are deeply entrenched.
How? That doesn't mean that you can't fire people
People appointed for their closeness to a party are not too likely to be competent and incorruptible
Well it depends. Usually it's far from trivial to fire civil servants in most countries.

As I said, a doubled edged sword. A newly elected reformist government won't be very effective if they can't put new people in power.
