The government has met with representatives of business banks and the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) to try to find a solution to the problem of mortgages indexed in Swiss Francs, Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Monday.

She said that efforts are continuing because no solution has been found yet.  

A group of people who have mortgages indexed in Swiss Francs staged a protest, including a hunger strike by some, in front of the Supreme Court of Cassation last week, demanding a solution to the problem and a ban on the sale of housing whose mortgage holders could not meet the payments because they were indexed in Swiss Francs.  

“We will try to find a solution. I am a very pragmatic person. We are working as a team and it doesn’t matter who talks to who. The important thing is to achieve a result,” Brnabic said.
