The Assembly adopted amendments to the Labor Law, which will make the minimum wage in Montenegro 450 euros from January 2022.
77 MPs voted - 50 were in favor and 27 abstained.
This Law is part of the "Europe Now" program
The Assembly established the existence of urgency for the law to enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Gazette.
Deputies also adopted amendments to the Law on Contributions for Mandatory Social Security, which abolish health contributions.
Amendments to the Personal Income Tax Act were also adopted, which foresee the introduction of a non-taxable part of earnings up to 700 euros, as well as an increase in the tax rate on earnings over 1.000 euros from 9 to 15 percent.
By abolishing the contribution for health insurance and introducing a non-taxable part of the salary, employers should increase the employee's net salary from the January salary for that part of the previous duties. This would mean an average salary increase of around 17 percent.
The Proposal for the Law on the Termination of the Law on Investment in the Consolidation and Development of Montenegro Airlines was also adopted.
A bill on financial assistance to former workers from the mining and metal industry was also adopted.
