Evropska Srbija criticizes new Parent-Caregiver Law

Tatjana Pašić, a candidate for the ‘Evropska Srbija’ electoral list, has criticized the recently implemented Parent-Caregiver Law. She claims the legislation has effectively denied rights to 37,000 parents, describing the law as discriminatory.

Under the new regulations, which allow applications for status starting October 1, families caring for children with developmental disabilities can apply for monthly financial support of 65,000 dinars, including social insurance contributions. However, Pašić argued that the current law excludes a significant number of parents and promised that if there is a change in government, her coalition will adopt a new law to ensure all eligible parents receive status without exception.
