All the demands of the Trade Union "Opstanak" of Apoteka Belgrade have been accepted, and the employees will receive funds for work already in August, while the payment of all back wages has been announced for September. This was announced by representatives of the trade union after a meeting with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić
All demands of the Union "Survival" Apoteke Belgrade are fully respected, they will receive working capital already in August, and in September they will be paid all their back wages, said the representatives of that union, after the meeting with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
Union representative Snežana Pantelić Živanović told journalists in front of the Presidency of Serbia that their health insurance will be paid today, as well as the linking of their seniority.
"The president showed us great honor and respect by hosting and organizing this meeting in order to solve our accumulated problems. I can say with pleasure that everything will be solved, that all employees can breathe a sigh of relief, as well as their families," said Snežana Pantelić Živanović.
When asked by a journalist why it took so long to solve the problem of Apoteka Beograd, the President of the Trade Union Jelena Šikuljak said that the reason was that "no attention was paid to that problem", while the problem was increasing more and more.
"The state must fulfill its obligations and in about a month - a month and a half, all salaries will be paid, and then the sixteenth salary will already arrive," she emphasized.
When asked if there was talk of a concession, Jelena Šikuljak said that they were told to think carefully about what is the "best solution from a neutral and objective point of view", and whether they can be competitive and profitable on the market.
"If I understood correctly, now we will receive a grace period of six months from the state, in terms of procurement of funds for work, so if we fail to justify it, then it will most likely be a concession," she said, adding that part of the funds will be received from the Government of Serbia, and part from the City of Belgrade.
Union representative Jasmina Drašković reported that Vučić said that he would do his best to save jobs, but that the final solution and status of the institution would still be considered.
The meeting was also attended by the Mayor of Belgrade Aleksandar Šapić, President of the Belgrade City Assembly Nikola Nikodijević, Minister of Health Zlatibor Lončar and Minister of Finance Siniša Mali.
As Time already wrote, certain branches of the Belgrade Pharmacy have already passed into private hands, so a new one was opened in the center of Belgrade, on the site of the closed state pharmacy, at Bulevar despota Stefana 91A - but owned by the company "Galen pharm".
This pharmacy, as well as another on the same street near the corner of George Washington Street, closed in September 2024, and since then there has been speculation that this was done in order to be left to the private sector.
