The "Europe Now 2" program will directly threaten workers, as well as future pensioners, according to the Union of Administration and Justice.

The president of that organization, Nenad Rakočević, said that a salary increase of five percent due to the deduction from the gross salary or part of the contribution that went to the PIO does not mean increased earnings, but a smaller pension.

Rakočević pointed out in "Colors of the Morning" that the state does not invest a single euro for the implementation of the fiscal strategy, but takes money from employees in the public sector, freeing itself from the cost of contributions for employees.

Rakočević emphasized that, instead of dialogue, the Government reacts to every criticism of the program it plans to implement, not with arguments, but by insulting dissenters.

"We have that five percent from personal contributions, 5,5 percent from employer contributions, and then we have a very specific situation which is actually an equation, which says that the personal pension coefficient, the value of which is calculated based on the annual point, the pension point. of the pension point has the value of the average salary in the country, based on that working year. So, if we take the average salary of 820-830 euros, that pension point or personal coefficient is one. However, when tomorrow, the current average salary will increase to 870 euros. That is, they have indicated that the average salary in Europe 2 will be 1.000 euros. Therefore, 870 and 1.000 euros are less , therefore, that personal coefficient will be lower by 130 percent," said Rakočević in the morning program of TV Vijesti.
