Speaking at a ceremony at the “Boro Menkov” barracks in Kumanovo, Misajllovski said the proposal for soldiers over 45 had been reviewed by the government’s collegium and was expected to be discussed at the next government meeting.
He said soldiers would be able to continue their careers until retirement, while a new collective agreement was also expected to be reached with the unions, guaranteeing that employees’ existing rights would be preserved.
The minister said that more than €26 million had been paid during his term in office to settle court cases relating to 2019 and 2020.
