In the last year of his mandate, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Zoran Pažin received mostly 2.790 euros per month, as can be seen from the report on assets and income, which he submitted to the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.

The Law on the Prevention of Corruption stipulates that an official is obliged to submit a property record to the Agency within 30 days of the termination of public office. Whoever does not do this, the law prescribes a fine of 500 to 2.000 euros.

In addition to the vice-president's salary of mostly 1.631 euros, Pažin as a member of the Judicial Council earned less than 620 euros per month, and for most of the year 541 euros as the president of the Government Commission for the Drafting of the Civil Code. He reported that he also received three fees of 463 euros as a member of the Commission for taking the bar exam.

He was a member or president of 16 working bodies under the Government or the institution of the President of Montenegro, but he only reported receiving payment from the Commission for the Drafting of the Civil Code.

Pažin, among other things, was the president of the Commission for the Political System, Internal and Foreign Policy, the Council for the Rule of Law, the Council for Public Administration Reform, the Council for Encouraging and Improving the Application of Alternative Dispute Resolution...

His wife, Nataša Pažin, who works at the Institute for Hydrometeorology and Seismology, received less than 550 euros for most of the year, and in June, an income of 1.182 euros was reported from the Interreg IPA program.

All immovable property is taken to it - apartments of 47 and 128 and a garage of 19 square meters. He acquired the smaller apartment by purchase, and the larger apartment by exchange. Pažin drives a "Volkswagen Passat" from 2015, and his wife drives a "Mercedes B160", seven years older, which they acquired by purchase.

The minister reported his vehicle to the Agency at the beginning of October with an extraordinary card that reports an increase in assets worth over 5.000 euros. The family has shares in "13. July - Plantations". Pažin is returning two loans with a total value of around 20.000 euros in installments of 45,7 and 35,2 euros.

He did not give the Agency permission to inspect the bank accounts.

Within the legal term of 30 days from the day of leaving office, the Minister of Science Sanja Damjanović also submitted the card to the Agency.

In the last year of her mandate, her salary was mostly 1.607 euros. She is the owner of a 47 square meter apartment and a BMW car from 1999.

Damjanović previously had 80.000 Swiss francs and 50.000 euros saved. She gave the Agency permission to inspect the bank accounts.
