Serbian Post and Poštanska štedionica have traded accusations of cash shortages for pensions.

Serbian Post noted that the rate of payment of pensions in branches and at home directly depends on timely receipt of cash from the Poštanska štedionica bank. The department emphasized that for the October payments the bank approved only 50% of the requested amount.

"We leave the users of our services and the public the right to judge whether with 37% of the funds provided of the required volume, it is possible to cover all the needs of the citizens on the days when the pension is given," the official announcement from the post office reads.

The state bank stated in the past that it provides the post office regularly and full of money for payments. The organization emphasized that the responsibility for distributing the cash cannot be transferred to them, what's more, Post Serbian itself is a shareholder of the bank.
