The president also said that the authorities would accept any decision made by the Crisis Staff in tomorrow’s session, but asked them to understand that the State “must pay both pensions and salaries.”

“We will find a way to help in some other way, be it by paying another minimum or how … And when we say we have nothing, we have always saved a little for the dark days,” concluded Vučić.
