The government has rejected the demands of protesting ex-servicemen seeking compensation for wages owed dating back to 1999. According to a government work group assigned to the negotiations, there is no legal basis for paying the wages. Thus the several-month long saga over unpaid war wages continues, although earlier reports suggested the disupute was settled. No agreement reached with veterans Strike leader Dejan Milosevic told B92 that the government had offered the reservists social assistance worth an average of RSD 5,000 per head, and that the offer had been rejected. “Our colleagues were making EUR 6400-7650, we have data that about 2500 of them have claimed their money. That is about EUR 25.5mn, that is the extent to which the military budget was robbed, and I don't know who was involved in that,” Milosevic said. “We are disgusted, we will take radical measures, and on Monday at 12:00 pm we will block the border crossing with Kosovo at Merdare. We will not back down, because we have been robbed,” Milosevic said. The ex-reservists have been protesting for the last three months, demanding unpaid wages for time spent in Kosovo during the war in 1999.
