Montenegro's prime minister indicated that the fuel discount already amounts to around 700 million euros. This information was conveyed by the executive leader in the context of a public communication about fuel policy.

Montenegro assured that the State is not collecting any additional VAT revenue due to the increase in fuel prices. This statement aims to demonstrate that the government has not financially benefited from the rise in prices at fuel stations.

The 700 million euro discount represents a significant value within the framework of support measures for the population and businesses in the face of the rising cost of living. This measure is part of a broader government strategy to mitigate the impact of inflation on consumers.

Montenegro's communication comes at a time when fuel prices continue to be a central concern for citizens and the national economy. The executive thus seeks to demonstrate transparency in the management of public funds related to this sector.
