Montenegrin public sector salary and reform demands

Overview

In early September 2026, the Montenegrin Ministry of Defense announced new salary regulations for the Armed Forces of Montenegro. These changes aim to improve the material status of personnel by increasing base salaries for Air Force members and introducing additional pay for aviation search and rescue operations. The ministry also introduced a special coefficient for roles in cyber operations and artificial intelligence to address personnel shortages.

Shortly thereafter, firefighter and service employee unions in Montenegro issued formal demands to Parliament for similar legislative reforms. Representing three unions, workers requested an amendment to the Law on Salaries in the Public Sector to increase the job complexity coefficient for firefighter-rescuers from 7.3 to 9.5. Union leaders criticized the government for providing verbal praise without substantive financial stability, noting that current wages are insufficient given the high risks of fighting fires and floods.
