Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration and Minister of Science and Technological Development Bozidar Djelic announced that the unfreezing of salaries and pensions will be possible in January 2011, but that next week it will be known whether this might be done even before then.

Djelic said in a statement to Radio Television Serbia (RTS) last night that everybody wishes that salaries and pensions can be unfrozen, but the question is when the conditions for this will be met.

So far, the agreement with the Mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is that this can be done in January next year, he added.
