Beginning of social care reforms to become priority in 2006
Belgrade,
19 December 2005
Serbian Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Policy Slobodan Lalovic said today that one of the Ministry's priorities in 2006 will be to begin the implementation of social care reforms because, as he said, this type of care is very irrationally distributed in Serbia.

At a press conference occasioning the presentation of a guidebook for experts in social care entitled "Ethical Dilemmas and Challenges of Social Care", Lalovic said that these reforms are necessary for two reasons – to make social care actually of use to the beneficiaries and to make sure that these beneficiaries are people who truly need this kind of assistance.
Social care is being given to persons who do not really need it, who are "fit as a fiddle" and can earn their living by themselves, he added.
"We therefore need standards and mechanisms for a righteous distribution, but also people who will implement these standards and carry out the distribution", said Lalovic and added that on the other hand, people who would perform these jobs must be suitably motivated.
"Intended for experts working in the social care sector, the guidebook analyses the challenges and dilemmas of social work, and it was written with an intention to initiate, direct and assist in the process of building ethical standards", said Djuradj Stakic, one of the authors and Professor at the Pennsylvania State University in the US.
According to Stakic, the guidebook looks at ethical issues not from the academic point of view, but in a way which is a blend of foreign and domestic experiences and knowledge, theory and practice.
