Opposition MP Tatjana Pašić of the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP) has strongly criticized a proposed law regarding the status of parent-caregivers, labeling it a “major deception” by the Serbian government. Pašić alleges the legislation fails to adequately address the needs of parents who dedicate themselves to caring for children with disabilities. She claims the proposed law offers insufficient financial support and lacks concrete mechanisms to improve the quality of life for both caregivers and their children. The SSP representative argues the government is attempting to present the law as a solution while offering minimal tangible benefits. Details of the specific shortcomings were not elaborated in the initial statement, but Pašić promised further explanation of the law’s perceived flaws. The criticism highlights ongoing political tensions surrounding social welfare policies in Serbia. Further debate and amendments are expected as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
