Government limits prices of petroleum products

Belgrade, 10 February 2022

The Serbian government adopted today the Conclusion on consent for the Ministry of Health to take all measures within its competence to employ 1,000 graduates of faculties of medicine in the health institutions of the Republic of Serbia and thus enable uninterrupted, efficient and continuous provision of the necessary health care to all citizens.

This employment refers to deficient branches of medicine and is in line with the staffing plans of health institutions and the Republic Health Insurance Fund.

The government adopted the Bill on amendments to the Law on temporary register of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia aged 16 to 29 to whom financial aid for mitigating the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus is paid.

These amendments regulate the issue of payment of additional financial assistance to the young people aged 16 to 29, who will receive an additional €100 in dinar countervalue in June this year.

The government passed the Decree on limiting the prices of petroleum products in order to prevent greater disturbances and maintain the living standard of citizens, given that the prices of petroleum products increased in the previous period, which directly influenced the growth in prices of all other goods and services.

The government set the maximum retail price of petroleum products Euro diesel and Euro premium BMB 95 at RSD 179 and RSD 171 per litre, respectively.

The Programme of digitalisation in the health system of the Republic of Serbia for the period from 2022 to 2026 was adopted, in order to obtain a connected, efficient health system and improve the quality of health care by interconnecting health care institutions with modern software solutions. This will enable a fast and secure data exchange in electronic form and data-based decision making.

The government also adopted the Decree on maintenance and improvement of the State centre for data storage and management, which establishes legislative framework for the use of the Data centre by state administration and local self-government, but also by commercial users, while part of resources is available to science and technology parks and start-ups.

The defining of standards will enable the improvement of the e-business system, use of state-of-the-art ICT capacities in the provision of services to users, reduction of risk of the loss of data which are of great importance for Serbia, as well as support to the development of digital transformation of Serbia.

The government passed the decisions on acquiring the status of institute of national importance to three Belgrade institutes, namely, the Institute of Physics, Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy and the Institute of Social Sciences.
