SerbiaRetired individuals in Serbia have the legal option to simultaneously receive their pension and work, which can lead to a permanent increase in their monthly income. The key condition for this new, more favorable pension calculation is that retirees must work for at least one year after retiring. While rights and obligations depend on the type of pension received, the option for recalculation is available to those whose employers regularly pay contributions for pensions and disability insurance during additional employment. Retirees receiving old-age pensions face the fewest restrictions regarding additional income, allowing them to enter into standard employment contracts, work under part-time or authorship agreements, or register their own business. In all these cases, they continue to receive their regular pension and can apply for a recalculation after at least one year of insurance contribution, potentially leading to a permanent increase in their pension.
