❓ Wages

Montenegro is seeing significant economic developments, with a newly proposed "Euro Model" poised to substantially increase employee wages. This plan, however, is sparking debate over its potential impact on state costs, small businesses, and overall revenue. Adding to the economic narrative, Simonida Kordić, the Minister of Tourism, announced robust growth in both tourism and investments across the country. This positive outlook is balanced by an economic analysis exploring the advantages and disadvantages of mass cruise tourism in the UNESCO-protected site of Kotor. In other domestic news, a Russian couple arriving from Tel Aviv was detained in Kotor. Meanwhile, the Centre for Civic Education expressed skepticism that a new Law on Free Access to Information would genuinely improve institutional transparency. Additionally, discussions are underway regarding new rules for electing members of the Central Election Commission, and the success of femicide prevention is being reframed by Maja Raičević, Executive Director of the Women's Rights Center, as being measured by averted cases rather than just convictions.
