    245,000 foreign exchange pensioners in Serbia

    A total of 245,000 Serbian citizens receive pensions from abroad, and on this basis, almost 800 million euros arrive in the country annually.

    Pensions are coming from 26 countries, and our Pension and Disability Insurance Fund pays out pensions in 35 countries. Most pensions come and go to the former Yugoslav republics, and then to two European countries.

    „We pay most of the pensions to Germany and Austria, and regarding the destinations that are the farthest away, a hundred go to the USA, one to Brazil, two to three to New Zealand,“ said Vladimir Stankovic, director of the Sector for Exercising the Rights of the Pension and Disability Fund.

    EUR 76 million a year go out of our fund for these payments, while EUR 800 million come to those who live here and have earned their pensions abroad.

    Agreements with 21 countries

    „We have comprehensive agreements with 21 countries, which means that they cover several areas of social insurance, pension insurance, health insurance and unemployment insurance, occupational injuries, occupational diseases, maternity and child allowance,“ says Zoran Panovic, director of the Social Insurance Fund of the Republic of Serbia.

    We inherited most of these agreements from the former Yugoslavia. The first was signed with France in the middle of the last century and the last with Australia. Serbia has expanded the circle of countries with which we have agreements and has innovated previously signed ones.

    It is interesting that we have had such agreements with countries like Libya or Panama for decades, and that only in recent years have we agreed and signed agreements with Russia, Greece and Hungary.

    For most of these countries, it is not necessary to take a health insurance policy, a certificate issued by our Health Insurance Fund is sufficient, Panovic notes.

    We are currently waiting for the ratification of agreements already signed with Australia, Azerbaijan and Tunisia, while we are still negotiating with Portugal and Albania.
