There is a lack of clarity in a number of decisions made by the Government of Serbia in response to the crisis.

Nezavisnost will insist on getting some responses from the Government concerning above all the following issues:

• the lack of personal protective equipment for the workers which are still at their workplaces;
• proper transport from home to work and back, in the situation in which all citizens (apart from the emergency services) have a curfew imposed upon them from 20.00h till 05.00h, whereby a complete halt of all public transport throughout the day is expected in the coming days;
• the modality of determination and payment of wages of the parents of children up to 12 years of age who were asked to stay at their homes and take care of their children;
• options for determining a remuneration of wage established by the general act of employers and by the labour contracts for the period of interruption of working process caused by an order of a state institution or by an order of employer related to the temporary lack of occupational safety and health; and
• labour status of workers and the means for determination and payment of wages to the workers asked to stay in quarantine.

Nezavisnost has also asked their members to activate their OSH committees in the enterprises, to organize meetings and inform the membership, and to organize solidarity actions for the members in need. Nezavisnost has also encouraged their members to keep insisting that their employers provide them with the personal protective equipment.
