Yesterday, during the promotion of tanks in Nis, the President of Serbia once again promised higher salaries for the army, because salaries are low compared to those in the economy, and admitted that there is a large outflow of personnel, that former Army Minister Aleksandar Vulin treated it as a secret. statement.
“We are glad that the president recognized the problem of the departure of personnel that we as a union have been pointing out for a long time, but regarding his new promises we are not very optimistic, because so far he has not fulfilled anything: from building cheap apartments, higher wages and strong defense industry that will become the engine of the Serbian economy, “says” Sloga.
The unions allege that army salaries have not been increased but reduced, while the basis for calculating salaries prescribed by article 95 of the Army Law is not respected.
“The soldiers did not receive the uniforms in their entirety, instead of the promised three pairs of uniforms, the soldier only has one. The purpose-built industry is also in an unenviable position, especially the ‘Krušik’ of Valjevo, which was brought before bankruptcy, a matter that has not been clarified and is in debt to pay workers’ wages, “it read in the statement.
