The increase in pensions in Montenegro by 40 euros, as proposed by the Civic Movement URA, does not require additional funds in the budget or new borrowing, said the head of the party's parliamentary group, Miloš Konatar.

Konatar emphasized that the proposal of the URA Movement is not populism, "but a vital need for pensioners who cannot live normally with the existing amount of pensions with daily price increases and inflation."

Konatar, ERO added, asked whether anyone in Montenegro today believes that a 1,33 percent increase in pensions in 2026 is enough to cover price increases and provide a decent life for pensioners.

"URA believes that pensioners in Montenegro deserve a better standard, more respect and higher pensions - that is why we have proposed amendments to the law that envisage an increase in pensions by 40 euros without additional burdens on the budget and new debts. If the URA proposal is adopted by the Parliament, pensioners would receive increased pensions as early as July 1 of this year," concluded Konatar.
