Union of Autonomous Regions unions Serbia announced that it will propose that minimum wage In 2025, it will be 60 percent of the value of the average consumer basket, that is, 61.858 dinars or 355,5 dinars per hour, which is an increase of 31,2 percent compared to this year, reports New economy.

SSSS General Secretary Zoran Mihajlović said that on August 15, negotiations between the Government, representative unions and the Union of Serbian Employers on the minimum wage for 2025 will begin and that they expect the support of other unions.

He said that SSSS will demand that, according to the projection, the minimum hourly wage in the next three years (2025-2027) grows at the same rate as it grew in 2024 (17,83 percent) and in 2025 it should amount to 319,3 , XNUMX dinars.

"What they announce from the Government will not satisfy us, because the increase they are proposing is that in 2027 the minimum wage will be 650 euros," he said.

"We made a projection and calculated that in order to reach the minimum wage of 650 euros in 2027, the average increase in the minimum wage every year should be around 17,83 percent, which would mean that in this year, according to those announcements, the minimum wage should at least to be 55.300 dinars", Mihajlović said.

He said that the goal is for the minimum wage to increase more in order to protect workers, that the young and qualified do not leave the country, and that the unions are not against foreign investments and foreign workers coming to Serbia.

Vice-President of SSSS and President of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Vojvodina Goran Milić believes that the minimum wage for 2025 will not be the result of a compromise, but exclusively a decision of the Government of Serbia.

"We have a chance to fight on realistic grounds for a minimum labor price that should improve the standard of living of our members and citizens," said Milić.

He reminded that the European Commission passed a directive that applies to all members of the European Union, that the minimum price of labor should be 50 percent of the average consumer basket, that is, 60 percent of the minimum consumer basket or vice versa, with the recommendation that this does not apply to countries that have a small amount earnings like Serbia.
