Pensions in the United Kingdom

This is the highest pension in Serbia

According to the last available statistical report of the Serbian PDI Fund, the highest pension in Serbia is exactly RSD 200,475.

Practically, and as per the Law on PDI, no retired person in Serbia can register more than 45 years of service or a personal coefficient higher than 3.8. Thus, therefore, the pension is "fixed" at this amount.

The Single Social Security Entity (EFKA) has planned for successive payments before Christmas to 2.5 million pensioners, in order to pay all the beneficiaries without exception, both the January pension with an integrated increase of 3%, as well as the personal difference allowance, to those who are not entitled to a raise.

EFKA cases delay justice

Hundreds of thousands of pensioner cases which since 2015 have included claims for retroactive amounts for cuts deemed illegal by the Council of State, but also others, concerning the return of interest as the refunds of the main pensions became interest-free, or the recalculation of pensions, are piled up in administrative courts around the country.

Auxiliary pension issue proceeding

Pensioners calling for permanent and higher annual allowance
