Deputy PM Jovan Krkobabic has repeated that pensions will be higher next year and that the raise would be permanent. He pointed out that pensions would be increased despite all difficulties. Deputy PM: Pensions permanently higher “Pensions will, regardless of all challenges and rise of tensions due to withdrawal of the draft Pension and Disability Insurance Law from the parliamentary procedure, be significantly higher, and what’s most important all three planned raises will permanently go into basic pension,” the deputy PM told Novi-Sad based daily Dnevnik. He is convinced that the draft Pension and Disability Insurance Law will be returned to the Serbian parliament within the envisaged deadline, along with changes which were agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). “The agreement with the IMF won’t hurt the Serbian pensioners. It has been defined that the lowest pension is 27 percent of the average salary and implementation of gradual increase of retirement age for women has been delayed from 2011 to 2013,” Krkobabic pointed out. In his opinion, the Serbian government has done a good job, showed its maturity and succeeded in cushioning devastating blows of the global financial crisis. “If things had been different, Serbia would have faced Greek, Icelandic or current Irish scenario. Those three economies, need I remind, are incomparably stronger than ours and some of them were almost up until yesterday role models to follow,” the deputy PM explained. He has assessed that requests of certain unions were unrealistic and that some referred to issues outside the scope of the Pension and Disability Insurance Law and that they were actually “personal caprice”. “Our economic possibilities are limited and as a realistic and responsible man I’m trying to get for the pensioners what’s realistic and maximally possible within those limits, and we have achieved that with the proposed changes to the pension and disability insurance system,” Krkobabic concluded.
