Reform, Montenegro soon with 7-hour working day

The Montenegrin government is close to approving a solution that would introduce a seven-hour workweek, and the model being considered is expected to satisfy both employers and unions, announced Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajic.

The latter stated that, after extensive consideration, a model has been found that would satisfy both unions and employers.

He announced that extensive consultations with social partners will be held in the coming weeks, where the final version of this reform will be crystallized.

The goal, according to Spajic, is to implement one of the largest reforms in the field of labor in Montenegro through these broad consultations, with the aim of improving the quality of life of citizens and offering "more time for the family, but also more efficient and productive work."

On the other hand, the Union of Employers of Montenegro states that the conditions do not exist to switch to a seven-hour work schedule.

Meanwhile, the Union of Free Trade Unions says they understand business opposition, but believe Montenegro should move in this direction.

Prime Minister Spajic has been part of Montenegrin high politics since 2020. In the previous government, he was Minister of Finance and drafted the "Europe Now" project, which increased the minimum wage in Montenegro from 222 to 450 euros.
