Labor Minister Rasim Ljajic says the Serbian government is preparing a new set of measures to protect the poor, who are hit the most by the crisis. "The poorest citizens can tighten their belts no longer and this is the year in which the Serbian government must give them maximum help. We are preparing a set of measures to save and protect those most hit by the crisis," Ljajic told Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti. Poor to benefit from criminals' property? He noted that there are "parts of the country that are literally disappearing, under the burden of deep despair and poverty". "While we've been engaged in high politics for years, villages in eastern and southern parts of the country have been depopulating. There is no task for important for this state than to help those people," Ljajic believes. The minister was also quoted as saying that property confiscated from members of crime gangs "will be used as much as possible to help the poor". Ljajic said he did not expect any serious social unrest. When asked if the government can "survive its mandate under the pressure of the economic crisis and constant political turmoil", Ljajic answered that he "sees nothing that could bring down the government in 2010", but that he cannot make guarantees for what comes after because he "cannot see that far". Ljajic, however, remarked that it would have been more beneficial economically and politically if the size of the government had been reduced, adding that it would have made it more stable as well.
