29th Sitting of the of the Committee on Labour, Social Issues, Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction

At the sitting held on 20 September, the members of the Committee on Labour, Social Issues, Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction discussed in principle the Bill amending and modifying the Law on Pension and Disability Insurance, as well as the Bill on the Confirmation of the Social Security Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Proposal of the Decision to Grant Consent to the Decision amending and modifying the Republic Pension and Disability Insurance Fund 2018 Financial Plan.


Acting Assistant Minister of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Zoran Milosevic said that the Bill amending and modifying the Law on Pension and Disability Insurance is a Bill with no restrictive measures. First and foremost, it abolishes the Law on temporary regulation of pension payment meaning that from 1 October all the pensions go back to what they were before the cuts. Among other things the Bill changes the manner in which pensions earned in jobs with reduced service years are calculated, how the last year of insurance coverage is accounted and abolishes the Pension and Disability Insurance Fund’s right to forced collection of unpaid pension and disability contributions.

The Committee members adopted, by majority vote, the Bill amending and modifying the Law on Pension and Disability Insurance in principle, as well as the Bill on the Confirmation of the Social Security Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Proposal of the Decision to Grant Consent to the Decision amending and modifying the Republic Pension and Disability Insurance Fund 2018 Financial Plan.
