Rasim Ljajic hopes that a proposal allowing MPs to retire aged 55, with 15 years of service and three mandates will not be in the final version of the law. “I cannot believe this... Instead of reforming the pension fund and cutting down the number of MPs we are doing completely the opposite. While the government is working on decreasing the possibility of early retirement, completely opposite things are proposed here,” Serbia's labor minister commented for Belgrade daily Politika.

Ljajic also stated that "tycoons" would "once again" find it easier to put their people in parliament and then expect favors in return. “Even if that was the standard at the moment, it is politically bad because parliament already has a poor image and this would jeopardize its credibility,” Ljajic concluded.
