Serbian government raises minimum wage

The Serbian government has decided to raise the minimum wage to 155 Dinars (1 Euro – 119 Dinars) an hour in 2019 from the current 143 Dinars, members of the Serbian Socio-Economic Council told a media conference on Monday.

Speaking after a session of the Council, Labour Minister Zoran Djordjevic said that the government decided to raise the minimum wage by 8.6 percent. Union representatives insisted on a 10 percent raise before the session.

Independent Unions of Serbia >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << leader Ljubisav Orbovic said all the unions involved in the negotiations agreed to demand a 10 percent raise in the minimum wage, adding that their managing bodies had not been convened to decide whether to accept the 8.6 percent raise or not. Union bodies will decide on the proposed raise later, he said. His statement caused some confusion, with some media reporting that no agreement had been reached to raise the minimum wage.

The raise means that the minimum monthly wage will be 27,022 Dinars which Finance Minister Sinisa Mali said is a realistic raise “and perhaps even more than that”.

The media were told that the raise would be followed by an agreement on the minimum wage rising over the next three or four years to reach the level of the minimum consumer basket which now stands at 36,000 Dinars.
