Overall takeaway

After the talks, the union announced concrete timelines for arrears and insurance, but Apoteke Beograd's future structure and any concession decision remain unresolved.

What this means for residents

For employees

The announced deadlines concern arrears, insurance and service records, but they are the union's post-meeting statement, not a published funding decision.

For pharmacy users

The financial support is intended to keep the network operating in the coming months, but the source gives no specific changes to pharmacy services or hours.
