The union of the Defense Ministry demands that Minister Radmila Sekerinska resigns because of the poor labour and equipment conditions of the army. According to the union, the state of the army barracks is unacceptable and pay is low.
We face disastrously bad conditions to perform our work. The military members are reduced to mere survival as the low pays don’t cover basic needs to have a dignified life, said union president Risto Ajtov.
Ajtov points out to the fact that between 250 and 300 soldiers left the army in the first few months of 2019. According to him, on top of the low salaries, soldiers are not receiving bonuses for overtime work, and the minimum Sekerinska must do is increase salaries by 10 percent.
