JAGODINA/NIS - A group of medical workers, members of the Nezavisnost union from Cuprija, Paracin and Rekovac, have joined the Nis medical workers marching to Belgrade in protest against low salaries.
President of the Nezavisnost union in the Cuprija Health Centre Milan Stankovic said that 14 medical workers from Cuprija, Paracin and Rekovac joined their Nis
colleagues who have set off to Belgrade by foot yesterday morning.
He added that another 80 workers will travel to Belgrade by bus tomorrow.
Dissatisfied medical workers from the northern province of Vojvodina and central Serbia are to meet
tomorrow at 10.30 a.m. in Belgrade, in front of the Serbian healthcare ministry building.

salary increase.
