His primary function is, of course, that of the Prime Minister, but in addition, he is also president of the Council for Privatization and Capital Investment, for tourism and for rule of law, and also at the head of the National Investment Commission. Markovic also serves as member of the Board of Montenegro’s accession to the European Union.
Mr. Markovic is receiving a government salary of 2.240 euros as prime minister. During 2016, he was vice-president in the government of Milo Djukanovic and his salary in January amounted to 1.097 euros, €1.105 in February, €1.563 in March, and from April to November, thanks to the implementation of the Law on Salaries in the public sector – €2.021.
The prime minister’s wife, Nata, is employed in the Agency for Telecommunications and her salary is 1.093 euros.
The Markovićs are owners and co-owners of four residential objects. Mr. Markovic owns an apartment (106 square meters) and a garage (14 sm) and has also inherited 25 percent of a 72-square meters house and its accompanying land of 25.882 square meters.
