No mass dismissals hell waiting for us

Approval of a larger budget deficit by the International Monetary Fund, which hopes the government of Serbia, only a short-term measure that allows survival to the end of the year. No serious moves, such as the release of surplus employees in the public sector and reducing other benefits from the budget, next year will be Paklena - economists believe.
Serbian Government is preparing to ask for a higher budget deficit of the IMF, but is aware of the need to offer something in return. For the time being to release the surplus of employees in the public sector, you face resistance parties because no one wants to lose voters.
"Flash" in the Serbian government confirmed that all relevant ministries received account of the Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovića to prepare proposals for the platform for negotiations with the International Monetary Fund and the following package of measures.
- The most interesting sectors for the cost of polling the public administration, education, health, culture and sport. But even in education, where the minister recognizes that there is a surplus of employees, can not remember the word "dismissal" as the great political game in the bid. Nobody wants to discharge to the sector because it reduces the number of voters - say good insider source "Flash" from the Serbian government.
Another source from Nemanjina 11 explains that the government is trying to find a solution to the regular expenses "upodobe" permanently reduced public revenues.
- That means a serious rationalization, of education, through health care to public companies and public administration. Increase in VAT would solve the short-term problem, but Serbia would be less competitive - our source warns.
Tomica Milosavljevic, Minister of Health, says that in this sector there is no surplus of employees, according to the analysis of foreign consultants. He states that since 2006. The health care went from about 15,000 workers.
- In health care is implemented restrictive employment policy. Each institution must be reviewed not preterala in employment in certain - he argues.
Miroslav Zdravkovic economist says that the IMF is more flexible because of the economic crisis that the world is not a long video. Therefore, it is possible that we approve the budget deficit higher. This, however, we do not mean much because if you survive this next year will be very difficult.
