Today, the Assembly noted the termination of the position of Constitutional Court judge Milorad Gogić, due to fulfilling the conditions for an old-age pension.
At the end of May, Gogić became eligible for retirement, i.e. he turned 66 in accordance with the Labor Law.
The Constitution stipulates that a judge's office ends when he meets the conditions for retirement. The majority position in the Constitutional Court is that in that case they apply the Labor Law, not the PIO Law, according to which "the insured person acquires the right to an old-age pension when he reaches the age of 65 and at least 15 years of insurance experience and 40 years of insurance experience and 61 years of life ” (Article 17, paragraph 1 and 2).
According to the Labor Act, the employment relationship ends by force of law when the employee reaches the age of 66 and has at least 15 years of insurance experience. The government recently proposed changes to the Labor Law, according to which the limit for mandatory termination of employment is raised to 67 years, and the Assembly will discuss them at the extraordinary session on August 30.
Today, the Assembly noted the resignation of Nataša Prelevic as a member of the State Election Commission (SEC).
The Constitutional Committee has not yet published a new advertisement for the election of a new judge of the Constitutional Court to replace Gogić.
