Serbia has no problem with liquidity, President Aleksandar Vucic pointed out tonight.
He announced an increase in salaries for health workers and employees in the public sector, as well as possible additional allocations for pensioners.
“At this moment, we have 1.8 billion euros in the account, there is so much money in the treasury. We have no problems with liquidity,” said Vucic.
He stated that from January 1, the salaries of health workers will be increased by 5 percent, and for everyone else in the public sector by 3.5 percent.
“As of April 1, everyone is getting a five percent increase,” said Vucic and reminded that health workers have already received an increase, with the announced 80 euros, as well as that the minimum was increased at the time of the corona.
“And I will still see with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance to surprise someone else, our pensioners, with a small gift,” said Vucic.
He added that he likes to hear the remarks of the Fiscal Council, because its members do not flatter anyone, and they do their job very well.
Vucic also stated that many criticized the fact that the state buys gold, which now, he says, we have more than ever, but not close enough, and the price jumped, so more will be bought, adding that Governor Jorgovanka Tabakovic is doing a great job.
To the criticism that it is impossible to make Serbia the first in terms of salaries, economic growth, to have the least number of dead, he answers that it is still possible, and that it is being shown.
“Yes, when you fight, you work, you have dreams and you live for it. ‘Dream big’. Dream a lot, but then you have to work a lot and fight,” said Vucic, B92 reports.
