The Parliamentary Administrative Committee today adopted a decision on the right to compensation upon termination of office for former Constitutional Court judge Dragana Đuranović.
The decision was made at the request of Đuranović.
"On January 9, 2025, Đuranović addressed the Committee with a request to determine the compensation upon termination of office in the amount of the salary she received in the last month before the termination of her employment, with appropriate adjustment, in accordance, as she stated, with Article 26 of the Law on Salaries of Public Sector Employees, as a person referred to in Article 22, paragraph 1 and Article 23, who professionally performed the function, and who is on the labor market until the age of 67," said Committee President Jelena Nedović (PES) at the Committee meeting, which was not attended by the opposition.
The opposition has been blocking the work of parliament since the end of last year, when the parliament declared Đuranović's term of office over, and is demanding that the decision be overturned. They also prevented the parliament session today, which had the budget on its agenda.
The opposition claims that the Constitution has been violated because the Parliament, without the mandatory notification of the Constitutional Court, decided in mid-December last year to declare Dragana Đuranović's judicial office terminated, due to her qualifying for retirement under the Pension and Disability Insurance Act (PIO). They are therefore demanding that things be restored to "the previous state".
The judges of the Constitutional Court, by a majority vote, took the position that they would retire in accordance with the Labor Law, and not the Pension and Disability Insurance Law, like the judges of other courts.
