Judicial pay hikes in Greece and Montenegro

Overview

In July 2026 the Greek government announced a substantial increase in judges' salaries, raising pay by up to 90% ahead of upcoming elections. A month later, Montenegro introduced a draft law to lift the remuneration of senior judicial officials, setting a minimum monthly salary of €5,000 for top judges and prosecutors, with some estimates exceeding €6,000. Both moves reflect a regional trend of governments seeking to boost judicial compensation, sparking debate over the proportionality of the raises and their impact on the justice system.
