The Serbian Parliament has adopted the law on the Alimentacion Fund, which provides for the payment of alimony to single parents whose former spouses do not pay alimony. The fund will take over the collection of alimony from irresponsible parents, and the state will pay the funds no later than two months after the application is submitted. President Vučić emphasized that he fulfilled his promise and that the law will help children and single parents. The law provides strict measures for the collection of alimony, including charging interest and no statute of limitations for these cases. This law represents a significant step in protecting children’s rights and supporting single parents in Serbia.
