Following the release of the document by the Ministry of Finance, it has become evident that for 2025, the allocation for pension payments from March is lower compared to February of this year. Moreover, the government led by Spajić has earmarked reduced funds for pensions from March through the year’s end, as stated by Nikola Batrićević, a member of the Main Board of the Civic Movement URA. He remarked that Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is continuing to mislead the public and drive the country towards financial instability.

Batrićević noted that the disclosed figures indicate that €65.9 million was allocated for pensions in February, while only €63.8 million has been planned for March, which translates to a decrease of over €2 million for pensioners.

“For April and the subsequent months until the year’s conclusion, €64.9 million will be set aside, which again falls short compared to February and highlights the absence of a promised increase or necessary adjustment of pensions,” he elaborated.

Batrićević argues that through this policy, Spajić and his administration demonstrate their lack of a sustainable financial strategy. He asserts that they are artificially inflating income and expenditure solely through government borrowing, which contributes to rising inflation.

“Such policies foster insecurity, particularly among pensioners who have devoted their lives to saving for a secure retirement,” he concluded.
