"Today in the Republic of Serbia, there is a strong requirement to continue and complete the reform of pensions and disability insurance. This process commenced in 2001 and its content should now be focused on, inter alia: the manner of the indexation of pensions alongside trends in wages; the manner of the indexation of the general point; the increased duration of length of service (i.e. accelerated years of service); the insurance of agricultural workers; and the inclusion of the insurance of military personnel in a single pension system. The reform of the pensions and disability insurance system may not be directed just towards expenditures or to the reduction in the acquired rights of insured people, but it should also include a look at income – that is, issues surrounding better control over the payment of contributions for compulsory pensions or disability insurance; an increase in the number of employees; and the reduction in the grey economy; etc. It must also be recognised that the International Monetary Fund is likely to play an important role in reforming the national pensions system in Serbia.
