Podgorica on Thursday announcd that it would take over the debts of the Public Broadcasting Service of Montenegro, RTCG, which are worth 2.4 million euros.

The contract will soon be signed by the Minister of Finance, Radoje Zugic and the CEO of RTCG, Rade Vojvodic.

Montenegro published its draft budget bill for 2015, which includes cutting 7.3 million euro off the public-sector wage bill compared to 2014, reducing the figure to 380 million euros.

It comes after the cabinet last week set the 2015 budget at around 1.9 billion euros.

The Union of Education has announced that it will hold a one-hour warning strike on Tuesday, saying that the government was still failing to make progress in a long-running dispute over pay.

The union is asking for pay rises, a bigger food allowance and transport bonuses. It is also calling for full-time employment for teachers currently working under temporary employment contracts.
