The government has received applications from about 237,000 employers and will pay EUR 750 (USD 820) to about 1.1 million employees of MSMEs, Mali was reported as saying by SeeNews.
Serbian citizens older than 18 years will also be able to apply between May 15 and June 5 for a EUR 100 one-off payment in compensation for the restrictions imposed to limit the outbreak of COVID-19, Mali noted.
On March 31, Serbia’s government introduced a EUR 5.1 billion financial package for the support of its economy, which amounts to 50% of the 2020 budget. The package includes a EUR 2 bln guarantee scheme for loans extended by commercial banks, SeeNews adds.
