Serbian Pensions Under Attack
A group of retired military personnel says the country’s president is lying about pensions. The Association of Unions of Retired Military Personnel claims that President Aleksandar Vucic is saying pensions are higher than ever, but this is not true.
The organization points out that most neighboring countries make sure their lowest pensions are above the poverty line. However, in Serbia, almost half a million pensioners get less than 24,987 Dinars per month. This is below the country’s minimum monthly wage of around 47,000 Dinars.
