Pensioner support initiatives in Novi Sad

Overview

In October 2026, Novi Sad hosted the 14th Fair for Pensioners, an event featuring health consultations and information on legal and financial protection. During the opening, Minister for Rural Welfare Milan Krkobabić noted that 22 percent of Serbia's population is over the age of 65.

Mayor Žarko Mićin announced that more than 5,000 low-income pensioners in the city would receive a one-time financial aid payment of 20,000 dinars by the end of the month. This payment was specifically intended for those whose monthly pensions do not exceed 31,092 dinars to assist with winter preparations.

Further municipal support includes discounted public transport for citizens over 65, support for senior clubs, and programs such as free trips to spas and the ‘Get to Know Your City to Love It’ initiative. During the 80th anniversary of the Novi Sad Pensioners' Association, association president Milena Žarković reaffirmed the organization's long-standing mission to care for the well-being of the elderly.
