The representative of the European Union and the head of the parliamentary group of the Social Democrats (SD) Boris Mugoša announced that "under the radar" changes to the law are being proposed, which essentially reduce the amount of student loans and scholarships.
In an announcement on Iks, he said that thanks to their legal initiative, which was adopted two years ago, there was an increase in the amount of student scholarships and loans.
"...In the way that we defined in the law that the amount of student loans cannot be lower than 25 percent of the minimum wage, and scholarships cannot be lower than 50 percent of the minimum wage (and that was a strong protective mechanism because we established the lower limit, and the Government could determine a higher amount than that)", wrote Mugoša.
He said that now that solution is being abolished, in a situation where the new amounts of scholarships and loans should be harmonized with the new amounts of the minimum wage.
"...And it is suggested that the Government determines the amount depending on the available budget funds", he concluded.
