He says that he currently has no regular monthly income and lists what will be found in his property record for the presidential election.
"Now I was in a kind of in-between space because I started to open, that is, to do some business of my own, again. However, this got ahead of me, this candidacy. From immovable property, I have an apartment, part of a house in Kolašin, business premises in Podgorica, an office, where my election headquarters is now, I have an inheritance - a lot of land in Lješanska nahija and an old house. I have a ten-year-old Hyundai vehicle," says Bojanić.
SDP's Draginja Vuksanović works as a professor at the Faculty of Law in Podgorica, and she also receives compensation for her parliamentary position.
"I have a resolved housing issue in my hometown Bar, as well as a resolved housing issue in Podgorica, where I work and live with my family. The origin of that property comes from my mother's inheritance, which I valorized before entering politics, so I did not receive anything from from the state, nor from the University. I also have a car that I paid off for leasing, and my total income, including work at the university and work in the parliament, is around one and a half thousand euros per month," she points out.
She is married to Supreme State Prosecutor Ivica Stanković, whose monthly salary is 2.600 euros, and she also has a monthly fee of 900 euros for work in the Prosecutor's Council, as well as a periodic fee of about 450 euros for work in the Evaluation Commission.

Presidential candidate Vasilije Miličković has two houses in Podgorica, an apartment of 120 square meters in Sveti Stefan, office space and land in the capital, which are registered to his company M&V, of which he is the sole owner, and which also has two cars registered to it.

Milačić also reported that, as the president of Prava Montenegro, he receives 270 euros per month, and that his wife earned 300 euros this month from practicing law.
"From assets, I have a roof over my head - half of the apartment that was left to me by my grandfather Ljubiša Milačić, and nothing more. I don't have expensive watches, cars and villas, houses on the coast... I have thousands of books and that's my only fleet," he says. he.
The candidate Hazbija Kalač reported only a pasture of nearly 400 square meters in Tuzi and a car.

His wife, as the executive director of a company, earns 193 euros per month.
TV Vijesti was not able to find out what assets the presidential candidate Dobrilo Dedeić, who was proposed by the Serbian coalition, has, because he did not answer the numbers available to the television, nor via social networks. He is obliged to submit his property card to the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption by April 10.
On the Agency's website, when it comes to the campaign for the presidential elections, the property records of three candidates - Milacic, Kalac and Milickovic - have been published for now, and the legal deadline for submitting the data is 15 days from the submission of the candidacy.
CDT notes that it is unusual in this campaign that the elections were announced on January 19, and the first candidacy was submitted only in March, so the purpose of the obligation to declare assets is called into question.
"If these deadlines are met, citizens will not be able to see these property records at all because they will be published either a few days before the elections, or some of them even after the elections themselves. The purpose of this norm is for citizens to get to know the presidential candidate in the best possible way during the campaign, to base their decision on that," says Milica Kovačević.
In addition, it is important to follow how the property status of whoever is elected as president changes.
The CDT criticizes the Agency for not bothering to prescribe a special form for the property status of presidential candidates, instead, forms are used for reporting the property and income of public officials. Thus, says Kovačević, the earnings of the presidential candidates refer only to the first two months of this year, which does not represent a broader picture of their total income.
