Also, it was agreed that, starting from this year’s pension in July, all pensions will be paid from the 5th to the 10th of the month.
One of the conclusions is that the Government of the FBiH will determine and submit Draft Law on Pension and Disability Insurance to the Parliament of FBiH by the end of August.
Moreover, as Prime Minister Novalic said in the introduction, this kind of meetings will be held regularly, at least once in 2 months, since the government and the retirement organizations are partners on the same mission, which can find the best solutions only through direct contacts.
