Serbian President Vučić Plans Early Pension Boosts Starting September

President Aleksandar Vučić announced that Serbia will begin disbursing increased pension payments before January, aiming to start the first payouts at the beginning of September. He said the government will make every effort to accelerate the rollout of new social measures, including higher pensions, child allowances and benefits for socially vulnerable groups, within the next 90 days. Vučić highlighted that tax revenues—including domestic and import VAT, corporate tax and customs duties—have exceeded expectations, providing a positive signal for the economy. He linked the early payments to broader economic progress and expressed confidence that Serbia is on track for continued growth and improved living standards.

Vučić also noted that the early pension increases will help retirees and families plan better before the summer holidays.
