Montenegro promises support for transport, firefighters and IPSS: decision only next week

Expresso9 September 2026 at 14:18

The Prime Minister of Montenegro announced that the government will implement support measures for transport, firefighters and IPSS (Private Institutions of Social Solidarity) to deal with the rise in fuel prices. The final decision on these measures will only be made next week.

According to Montenegro's statements, the executive intends to "reduce the impact that is in fact very, very significant of the rise in fuel prices on people's lives, families' lives, companies' lives, institutions' lives".

The support aims to mitigate the effects of the high cost of fuels in various sectors of Portuguese society, covering everything from ordinary citizens to institutions that provide essential services to the community.

The measures will be formalized next week, when the government will reveal the concrete details of the support to be implemented for each of the sectors covered.
