Montenegro's Bread Price Hike Fuels Public Outrage

Montenegro Bread Prices Rise: Citizens Outraged Podgorica, Montenegro – A recent 5-cent increase in the price of white bread, effective June 11th, 2025, has sparked outrage among Montenegrin citizens. The small price hike, while seemingly insignificant, is felt acutely by many already struggling with the rising cost of living. The increase follows a period of sustained inflation across various goods and services. "Everything has gone up, my son," lamented one woman interviewed in the report. "I can barely afford to spend more than 2 euros a day now." Her frustration echoes the sentiment of many Montenegrins who feel the government is not addressing their concerns. The Association of Bakers attributes the price increase to the substantial rise in production costs, from raw materials to employee wages. A representative stated that the price adjustment was necessary to maintain economic viability. However, this justification does little to alleviate the anxieties of citizens facing increasing financial pressures. The video underscores the ongoing economic challenges facing Montenegro and highlights the impact of inflation on even the most basic necessities. The government's response to these concerns remains to be seen, but the public's discontent is undeniable.
