Modest house budgets in Republika Srpska will be further burdened during September, as the inevitable seasonal costs follow.
The beginning of the school year, winter preparation and the procurement of firewood become a serious challenge for an increasing number of households, warn the interlocutors “Independent newspapers “.
According to the Federation of Trade Unions of Republika Srpska, the Trade Union Cart for the Family Family in June was 2,744 KM, while the average salary in Republika Srpska was 1,564 km, which means that the salary covers only 57 total monthly needs.
Snežana Šešlija, president of the Association of Citizens “Tolerance against Doboj, said for” independent newspapers “to face serious financial problems in Republika Srpska, especially in the period from the end of August to the beginning of November.
“A large number of families no longer have the opportunity to raise loans because they have already been borrowed during the summer, to make it all deeper poverty, to ensure the basic needs, and we do not talk about luxury, but on regular and necessary costs,” Sashley said.
According to her, the fall is the period when traditionally made food supplies and winter preparation, but this year may not be able to afford half of what they need.
“I am afraid that these years there will be less than 50 percent of the planned constants for the winter in most households,” Sushel’s pointed out.
A special challenge emphasizes the Šešlija, represents the procurement of heating, which is a huge cost for many families.
“Last year, about 2,000 KM ranges ranged. This year, we expect the fact that the screams are in cash, and citizens never have security that the amount will cover the entire heating season,” she warned.
Jovan Radovanović, President of the Association of Family Family and Several Children “4+” Banja Luka, confirms that September is the month of the greatest expenditure for families.
“The beginning of the school involves the purchase of textbooks, volumes, accessories, and all that eats a good part of the salary. In ten meters of firewood, more than 1,000 km is needed,” Radovanović warns.
He points out that the procurement of firewood, the equipping of students and the preparation of the winter need almost two average salaries, without the daily living expenses.
Similar opinion Share and Nedeljko Neska Ilijić, Executive Director of the Association of Citizens “Oasis” from Trebinje.
“Standard drastically worsened. Only for school, regardless of the level of education, more than 500 kms are still found, which exceed 1,000 KM, it is clear that one salary is even near enough,” says Ilijić.
He adds that September will be a month of survival for many, because the total expenditures are far above the union consumer basket.
“In September, families in September will take more than two average salaries to cover the most basic costs: firewood, school and winter. And not counting everyday life needs,” Ilijić concludes.
