Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Wednesday that the upwards trend in salaries in Serbia is evident and would continue.

She told reporters in Belgrade that the average salary in December 2018 would have been about 490 Euros if the Republic Statistics Office had been using its old methodology. According to her, that is close to the 500 Euros predicted by President Aleksandar Vucic.

The prime minister said the methodology had been replaced with a more conservative way to calculate salaries which placed the average salary in December at 443 Euros.

Brnabic said she expects the average salary in January 2019 to reach 460 Euros.
