Montenegro's parliament has passed a set of laws allowing the country's minimum wage to be increased from 250 to 450 euros as of January 1st, according to macedonia's Lokalno online publication.
The changes provide for the abolition of health contributions. In addition, a non-taxable part of income for salaries up to EUR 700 is introduced, as well as an increase in the tax rate on salaries over EUR 1,000 from 9 to 15%.
Part of the opposition also voted for the laws, which were passed by 50 votes, although the government has a total of 41 members in parliament.
The changes to the set of laws are part of a program called Europe Now, which has been sharply criticized by the opposition, some experts and part of the ruling majority.
