In a recent media appearance, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced a forthcoming pension increase of 10%. This adjustment means that the current average pension of 45,732 dinars will rise to approximately 50,305 dinars, reflecting an increase of about 4,573 dinars.
Vučić emphasized that pensions need to be increased by at least 10%, and this will be implemented in the next budget. He noted that the precise timing of the increase—whether it will take effect in November, December, or January—will be decided within the next two months.
Blic provided the following calculations based on the 10% increase:
- A pension currently at 27,031 dinars will increase to approximately 29,700 dinars.
- A pension currently at 39,668 dinars will rise to around 43,634 dinars.
- The average pension, which is now 45,732 dinars, will reach about 50,305 dinars.
- A pension currently at 53,835 dinars will be adjusted to about 59,200 dinars.
- A pension currently at 73,669 dinars will increase to 81,035 dinars.
These figures assume a full service record of 40 years.
