Montenegro's teachers call off strike, accept offer - report

The proposal was presented for a vote to the main committee of Montenegro's education trade union. Out of all 46 committee members, 43 approved the offer, two voted against and one abstained, trade union head Radomir Bozovic was quoted as saying by broadcaster RTCG on Thursday.

"This means the committee has decided that we are accepting the proposal," Bozovic said.

The trade union launched the strike on Monday after its two-month negotiations with the education ministry over higher wages failed. Teachers demanded a 10% pay rise as of January 2024, as agreed with the government two years ago.
