response: "Response from the Ministry of Health\nSupplementary health insurance, by\
  \ its nature and as defined in Article 61(1) of the Health Care and Health Insurance\
  \ Act (Official Gazette of the RS, No. 72/06 - Official consolidated text, 114/06\
  \ - ZUTPG, 91/07, 76/08, 62/10 - ZUPJS, 87/11, 40/12 - ZUJF, 21/13 - ZUTD-A, 63/13\
  \ - ZIUPTDSV, 91/13, 99/13 - ZUPJS-C, 99/13 - ZSVarPre-C and 111/13 - ZMEPIZ-1))\
  \ \"covers the difference between the value of health care services in accordance\
  \ with Article 23. Article 23 of this Law and the share of this value covered by\
  \ compulsory health insurance in accordance with the same Article, or part of this\
  \ difference when the co-payment relates to the right to medicines with the highest\
  \ recognised value and medical devices\". Supplementary health insurance is therefore\
  \ exclusively linked to the co-payment of the value of health services covered by\
  \ compulsory health insurance. The latter also covers a certain proportion of dental\
  \ services, so it is not possible to design supplementary health insurance in its\
  \ current form that does not include this.\nThe Ministry of Health is currently\
  \ carrying out a detailed analysis of the health system, including the scope of\
  \ the rights covered by the compulsory health insurance. This analysis will help\
  \ to determine whether there is scope for removing certain health services from\
  \ the basket of entitlements, especially those that do not contribute to improving\
  \ the health of the population in the long term. The conclusions of the analysis\
  \ will show whether this includes dental care. At that time, there will be an opportunity\
  \ to consider changing the scope of the benefits covered by compulsory health insurance\
  \ in the way mentioned above. If dental care (for adults) is also excluded, commercial\
  \ health insurance for these rights could be designed.\n \n "
