"For years, I have been insisting on the necessity of developing a demographic development strategy, because the data is consistently more than worrying. For years, parliamentary conclusions have been adopted at my suggestion to develop such a strategy, but nothing has come of it yet," Mugoša said.
He says that, "according to certain information," the adoption of a demographic development strategy is planned by the end of the year.
"These are things that need to be much more in focus; these are life-changing topics that require concrete action from many sectors and segments of society," Mugoša said.
He announced that he would initiate a hearing on this topic in parliament, because "in this way we must try to make these immensely important topics more visible and prioritized."
