The Ministry says in a statement that representatives from the Cypriot Ministry, headed by Director of the Social Insurance Services Theofanis Tryfonos, briefed Minister Ljajic about the progress of talks, stressing that almost all provisions of the agreement have been harmonised, therefore it will most likely be signed in June, during the final round of talks.
Ljajic stressed how important the agreement will be for around 2,000 Serbian citizens temporarily working in Cyprus, as well as for Cypriot businessmen doing business in Serbia.
The conclusion of the agreement on social insurance between Serbia and Cyprus will enable persons living or working in these two countries to have a unhindered right to pensions, disability and health insurance, as well as unemployment insurance, the statement adds.
