That's because it was believed to be abuse and fraud, and Switzerland had interrupted such an agreement. Meanwhile, when the situation calmed down, agreement began on a new contract.
The new agreement, it says, will apply to all Kosovars who have retired since April 1st 2010, and who have not decided to seek atonement for the social security contributions paid in exchange for a monthly pension. We remember that the pensions of Kosovars who worked in Switzerland were suspended in 2010. This agreement has previously been signed between the former Yugoslavia and Switzerland since 1962.
