Questão jurídica principal
Whether the former Swiss–Yugoslav social security agreement still entitled a Kosovar national to an old-age pension or lump-sum payment.
Decisão extraída
No. The agreement was no longer applicable to Kosovar nationals from 1 April 2010, and the claimant reached pension age only on 25 January 2012.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court followed BGE 139 V 263 and held that for new AHV benefits the decisive moment is the insured event, i.e. reaching retirement age. Since the claimant became 65 after the agreement ceased to apply to Kosovo, he had no entitlement to an old-age pension or to the formerly possible lump-sum settlement.
