President Boris Tadic held a meeting with Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic and several ministers yesterday, reports said. They decided that there would be no increase of salaries in the public sector until the economic crisis is over. Govt. refuses pay raises as strikes continue Serbia’s state telecommunications company Telekom Srbija unions have, however, announced that they will go on strike on February 1, while Serbian power company EPS expects that a previous deal allowing them bigger paychecks will be respected. Companies outside the public sector have also been putting pressure on the government. Representatives of the Ministry of Economy should during the day talk to the workers of Kursumlija’s privatized companies Kopaonik and 7. Jul who have been blocking the Nis-Pristina road for ten days now. Employees of the Republic Geodetic Authority ended their strike yesterday after 15 days, but workers of the Glutin Veterinary Institute have gone on a hunger strike. Their requests are more or less identical to those of other striking workers in Serbia, although the number of overdue wages is enormous – they are owed no less than 49. It is also certain that workers of Novi Sad’s public communal companies are not going to stop their protest. Their representative Zoran Radosavljevic announced that there would be less public transportation buses on the city streets starting on Thursday. “The government will present a concrete proposal to the workers on Thursday, but we are continuing our protests until then,” he said. A new potential source of discontent is the health care system. According to their representative, medical technicians are demanding to have a collective contract and a review of the decision to reduce the number of employees in this sector. (Beta)
