PM: Teachers’ requests unrealistic

Serbian PM Mirko Cvetkovic says teachers' demands are unrealistic and that the government will not make concessions that would undermine economic stability. He said that the demands of the teachers on strike for an increase of their earnings by 24 percent were unrealistic and could cause a chain reaction of demands for salary and pension increases that would lead to inflation and weaken the domestic currency. PM: Teachers’ requests unrealistic The PM said that he did not want to be a part of this as his main task was to defend the macroeconomic stability of the country. “The teachers who completely halted classes are breaking the law,” he said. Cvetkovic said he would make his views on the issue public after he returned from Brussels, where he will deliver the answers to the European Commission's questionnaire on January 31.
