Funds increased for material costs of higher education institutions

Belgrade, 12 December 2024

The government decided at today’s session to increase funds for material costs of higher education institutions, as determined by the 2025 Budget Law, by 20% compared to the 2024 Budget Law.

The government decided that the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure make publicly available within the next 24 hours all documents at its disposal related to a possible commission of a criminal offence in the case of the Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse, which took place on 1 November 2024.

The government adopted a Bill amending the Law on the National DNA Registry, for the purpose of improved data protection and more efficient exercise of citizens’ rights.

The amendments harmonise this law with the Law on Personal Data Protection, introducing prevention and protection from threats to national and public security and conducting a procedure for establishing facts about the status of newborn babies suspected of having disappeared from maternity wards or health care institutions in the Republic of Serbia.

Furthermore, the government adopted a Decree on the Proclamation of the Rudnik Mountain as a Landscape of Exceptional Characteristics.

Within the Mountain Rudnik Landscape of Exceptional Characteristics, forests occupy approximately 90% of the area and form the matrix of the landscape structure, on which the stability of the natural mosaic depends.

A document granting consent to the decision to establish cooperation between the City of Čačak, Republic of Serbia and the Municipality of Herceg Novi, Montenegro was also adopted.
