MINIĆ: NEW LAW ON VETERANS RIGHTS IMPLEMENTATION AS OF JULY 1

BANJA LUKA, MAY 20 /SRNA/ –Republika Srpska Prime Minister Savo Minić says that after the adoption of the new Law on War Veterans Rights before the Republika Srpska parliament, its implementation should begin in July.

"This legal solution establishes a greater scope of rights, more people, more money, more veteran categories, but first and foremost more respect and what we should show to every veteran," Minić said before the Srpska parliament during the debate on the Bill on Amendments to the Law on War Veterans Rights.

Minić stated that 223 more employees are employed in the Banja Luka City administration since the arrival of the new city administration, so he raised the question of how many children of fallen soldiers have been employed.

He said that the municipality of Foča has employed 45 children from the category of children of fallen soldiers.

"I am confident that by the end of the year we will employ 500 children of fallen soldiers, as we previously promised," Minić stressed.
