DISABILITY INSURANCE RIGHT IN THE STATES SUCCESSORS OF THE SFRY

Summary

This work analyses the main characteristics of the disability insurance in the states-successors of the SFRY. Definitions of disability and its most important elements — general and professional incapacity for work, duration of disability, as well as the degrees of disability were specifically considered.

sors of the SFRY, general incapacity for work, professional incapacity for work, degrees of disability.
