Serbian Minister of Labour and Social Policy and member of the Socio-Economic Council Rasim Ljajic said that the Council proposed that the minimum net wage in Serbia, in the period July-December, be RSD 63.5 per working hour, which would make a minimum wage RSD 11,094.

Speaking at a press conference, held after the first session of the Council in the new composition, Ljajic said that this is a significant raise of 15.45% since the minimum wage per working hour was RSD 55.
If the Serbian government accepts this proposal, the minimum wage would be 40.95% of the average net salary in Serbia which stands at RSD 26.981, Ljajic said.
At today's session, mandates of government representatives in that body were verified and president of the united branch trade unions "Nezavisnost" Branislav Canak was elected chairman of the Council for the next year.
Canak said that the aim will be for the council to be a legal institution, recognised in society and to enter the family of other socio-economic councils in the world.
He said that will happen in November when the Council should become the full member of the world family of socio-economic councils, which represents a new obligation, but a privilege as well.
