The Government said there would not be any minimum wage rise after social partners failed to reach an agreement. The Social and Economic Council, which may propose the minimum wage for the next year, met but did not reach an agreement. Under the Labour Code, the Government is free to set the minimum wage if the Council does not reach an agreement within 15 days from the commencement of bargaining. The minimum wage is currently and will remain at RSD 121 (1 euro) per hour.
