Parliament is today continuing its debate on this year’s budget review, with Finance Minister Diana Dragutinovic in attendance. Opposition MPs say that they will not support the government’s proposal, while governing coalition MPs say that the budget review reflects the desire to implement the government’s priorities. MPs continue budget review debate Under the 2008 budget review, the deficit is due to be increased from EUR 484mn to EUR 541.5mn. Overall spending would increase from EUR 8bn to EUR 8.2bn, primarily with a view to funding the 10 percent pension increases that will require EUR 150.1bn, says the government. Opposition MPs have today criticized the draft budget review and insisted on the presence of government officials at the debate. There have been calls for the differing ministerial interpretations of the decision to raise pensions to the level of 70 percent of salaries to be clarified. Dragutinovic said that during the preparations for the 2009 budget, the priorities would be established, adding that it would not be possible to honor all the pre-election promises. The government has yet to adopt any of the 84 amendments submitted to the draft budget review, State Secretary to the Finance Ministry Janko Guzijan told today’s session of the parliamentary finances committee. Parliament adjourned at 13:30 CET because of a cocktail party organized to mark the 150th anniversary of the enactment of the first law in the Serbian parliament. Diana Dragutinovic (FoNet, archive)
