He said that it was a “great victory for every person in the FBiH, every representative who supported these vitally important solutions, a victory for our citizens who were deprived of dignified aging and adequate pensions due to earlier bad solutions, this is ultimately the victory of the state over the grayness of lawlessness”.
“I deeply believe that their colleagues in the House of People will follow in the footsteps of the representatives in order to confirm the decisions of the House of Representatives and come into force,” he pointed out.
Let us remind you that it is about the adoption of the Proposal for Amendments to the Law on Pension and Disability Insurance, among other things, which introduces significant changes in the method of calculating the minimum pension for those who do not have 40 years of service.
According to this bill, it is defined that “the lowest old-age pension depends on the length of the pension period and is determined as a percentage of the average pension paid for December of the previous year, adjusted in the year of exercise of rights.”
The new model, that is, the formula for adjusting pensions, combines the growth of average wages, instead of GDP, and the growth of the consumer price index in a ratio of 60/40 or 40/60, depending on the more favorable factor for pensioners.
According to the adjustment from January 1, 2026, pensions will increase by almost 11.6 percent.
It is further defined that for less than 20 years of pension service, the pension cannot be lower than 60 percent of the average pension of the previous year, for 20 years of pension service and more, and less than 25 years, it cannot be lower than 65 percent of the average pension, for 25 years of pension service and more, and less than 30 years, it cannot be lower than 70 percent of the average pension, for 30 years pension service and more, and less than 35 years cannot be lower than 75 percent of the average pension, for 35 years of pension service and more, and less than 40 years, it cannot be lower than 85 percent of the average pension, and for 40 years of pension service and more, it cannot be lower than 95 percent of the average pension paid the year before, it says Klix.
