Prime Minister Milojko Spajić said that, after extensive consideration of how to find a model that would satisfy both unions and employers, they are close to a solution regarding the introduction of a seven-hour working day.
The Prime Minister announced that at the beginning of next week, the Minister of Labor and Social Welfare, Naida Nišić, will lead talks within the framework of social dialogue with representatives of unions and employers, where, as he said, the final version of the reform will be crystallized.
The intention, says Spajić, is to implement one of the largest reforms in the field of labor through broad consultations, which aims to improve the quality of life of citizens and "more time for families, but also more efficient and productive work."
"Exactly in the way that the Europe Now 1 and Europe Now 2 programs were implemented - with the consent of both employers and unions - concrete steps in the case of the 7-hour working day reform will be taken exclusively with the full support of social partners," Spajić announced.
He said that he believes that Minister Nišić, on behalf of the Government, will do everything to reach an agreement in the optimal timeframe in order to "fulfill the expectations of citizens and strengthen the position of all employees" in our country.
