Serbian MP Ristić submitted initiative to assess constitutionality of regulation on pensions for judicial staff (Danas)

Slavisa Ristic, MP of the Movement for Serbia’s Salvation - New Serbia and a former prominent member of the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) submitted yesterday an initiative to assess the constitutionality of the Serbian Government’s Regulation on exercising the right to pensions for employees in the judiciary and the Administration for the Enforcement of Penal Sanctions in Kosovo, Danas daily reported. “That Regulation stipulates that judges and prosecutors in Kosovo shall receive a pension in the amount that equates 65 percent of the last salary they have received and a certain percentage per years of service” Ristić told the reporters in the National Assembly, assessing it as “a reward for the betrayal”. He said that the judges had a salary of about 120,000 RSD, and that their “unconstitutional” pension would be about 108,000 RSD. “It remains to be seen what the Constitutional Court will do. Until now we have a practice that they have ignored things and did not do their work, except in a few cases when it comes to the Regulations on Cadastre and Civil Registry that were assessed as unconstitutional and the government was instructed to harmonize this Regulation with the Constitution,” Ristić said.
