Croatia Aladrovic Believe Tender

The Minister of Labor Pension System Family and Social Policy Josip Aladrovic confirmed the possibility of opening a third call for the payment of the covid allowance to eligible pensioners who have not yet received the allowance.We are thinking of enabling the submission of requests once again and only for those who have the right but did not exercise it in the previous period Aladrovic told reporters after the solemn session of the Assembly of the Croatian Pensioners Association.According to the Pensioners Union and Matica 140000 pensioners did not receive the covid supplement although they are entitled to it. Aladrovic on the other hand stated that according to the ministry this segment of pensioners is not too extensive so he believes that the issue of opening a third call to pensioners will be defined in the short term.He also commented again on the case of the Zagreb Polyclinic for the Protection of Children and Youth whose director Gordana Buljan Flander resigned last night.He reminded that the founder of the Polyclinic is the City of Zagreb so its representatives decide on the members of the Management Board and indirectly who will be the director of the Polyclinic.From the perspective of the Ministry it is important that all systems connected to this polyclinic function properly and cooperate successfully.Buljan Flander did not comment on the resignation emphasizing only that the interest of the child is in the first place for the social welfare system.The profession must decide on the institute of child alienationJournalists wondered whether the institute of child alienation could be legally regulated which provoked great reactions from the public which claims that children are taken from their mothers and assigned to abusive fathers.Aladrovi claims that it is not a question of laws and regulations but of methodology. He sees a potential solution in the profession psychologists psychiatrists and psychotherapists leading a broad discussion and determining whether the institute is good. On whether a method is good the profession must give a verdict he said.The social welfare system is very extensive so the possibility of occasional manipulations or insufficient conscientious work is not ruled out but the Ministry is trying to reduce such phenomena to a minimum therefore it has intensified administrative and inspection supervision.We need to fix errors in all systems run by the state and we are doing that at the moment he argued.Covid certificates have been introduced into the welfare system since Oct. 1 and the minister says he sees no rational reason for unvaccinated workers to refuse to be tested at state expense.If there are those who do not want vaccinations or testing employers in social welfare will act towards the regulation of labor law status as prescribed by the Labor Law he said.Aladrovi said that such cases would not be tolerated due to responsibility towards other citizens but that a line should be drawn at a certain moment.
