Now in Serbia, every fifth child receives child allowance. That is 3.569 dinars. The Fiscal Council proposes a reform that would increase the number of children with child allowance and increase the amount of this state aid. A new Government is waiting
By the end of November, the preliminary results of the population census will be known, which means how many children live in Serbia. Demographers expect there to be fewer of them here than at any time since World War II. This result is greatly influenced by poverty.
According to the latest research, every fourth child in Serbia is at risk of poverty.
In Serbia, only every fifth child receives child allowance, 3.569 dinars per month. In this regard, the Fiscal Council proposes changes.
In order for every third child in Serbia to receive child allowance in the future, in order to increase the monthly state aid to children to 4500 dinars, and to increase the number of those who receive this financial aid from 245.000 to 415.000, it is necessary to allocate from the budget approx. 14 billion dinars more than now.
In the report of the Fiscal Council, it is written that this "reform would reduce the poverty rate of children to 19,1 percent, which would be a lower poverty rate than the general population (21,7 percent)."
The basic task of child allowance is to help parents in a difficult financial situation in raising their children.
It was determined that only families whose monthly income per household member does not exceed 10.707 dinars, i.e. 13.920 dinars in the case of a single-parent family and 12.894 dinars in the case of children with developmental disabilities, receive child allowance. In translation, this means that a family of three whose monthly income is 33.000 dinars has no right to a monthly allowance.
The new Government is waiting to think about this proposal of the Fiscal Council, and the proposal of the new budget. The Ministry of Finance said that the budget for the next year will be developmentally and socially oriented.

A group of 135 regime journalists signed under the advertisement in "Informer" calling for the establishment of a new association - "Association of Journalists of Serbia" (ANS).
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, boasted that he would write the world bestseller "How I Defeated the Colored Revolution" by June 28. On this occasion, the students in the blockade invite all citizens to gather in Belgrade for Vidovdan and celebrate Vučić's victory over them.
Journalist associations condemned the dismissal of journalist Marija Šehić and accused the management of "Juronjuz" of collapsing professional standards, concealing information and ignoring the union's demands.
Although the opposition claims that a person who was not on the voter's list voted, the Kosjerić MEC did not see a reason to cancel the election.
In a public appeal, 25 members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts accuse the President of Serbia of collapsing institutions, the media, the judiciary and the basic pillars of society.
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
