The Serbian teachers' unions will continue their so far two-month long strike, and Education and Science Minister Zarko Obradovic announced that he would meet with unions' representatives late Monday to discuss the possibilities to end the strike and find ways to meet the strikers' demands for improvement of their financial position.

I hope we will sit and talk today and find a solution, Obradovic said.

According to him, the government agrees that the teachers' salaries should be increased, but the state does not have enough money to meet the demands.

The leaders of the three unions told Tanjug that the strike will continue in the current manner of shortening the length of the class period to half an hour.

The education trade unions demand their pays to be increased through the correction of the April and October salaries by five percent.
