SESSION OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

MINIMUM PAY INCREASED – CANAK ELECTED CHAIRMAN




Belgrade, July 2007
A long expected Session of the Socio-Economic Council was held on July 9, 2007 with the participation of the new Minister of Labor and Social Policy, Rasim Ljajic. The verification of the term of office of new Council members and election of Branislav Canak, President of UBU “Nezavisnost”, as the SEC Chairman, preceded the presenting of the proposal of minimum pay in the period July – December 2007.

Employees can expect that the minimum pay in this period will be Din. 11.094,00, which, converted into hours, amounts to Din. 63,50 per work hour. This is a significant increase by 15,40%, so that the minimum pay, relative to average net pay in Serbia, amounting at this time approx. to Din. 27.000,00, increased up to 40,95% compared to average net pay in Serbia.

The SEC Chairman, B. Canak, stressed that the anticipated budget for SEC operations was very low and that one should seek a new solution through budget rebalancing, as well as that the Council exists in order to solve problems at the table for negotiations and not in the streets. “The advantage of trade union over the Government lies in the fact that a trade union can use both the table for negotiations and the street as the way of deciding on its demands in contrast to the Government for which this second way is unrealizable. The SEC must become an institution that is going to solve the accumulated problems in our society through dialogue and shall require from all SEC participants to be serious and industrious, in order that the SEC would justify its existence.”
