The international financial institution stated that the government adopted EUR 120mn more than was agreed for wages in the administration, while the implementation of the plan for cutting the number of employees in the public administration is running late. A member of the Serbian Prime Minister’s economic team, Dejan Soskic, said that he expects the IMF to have understanding for the tardiness in letting people go from the administration. “Some things need to be implemented in accordance with realistic possibilities.
