Vucic Poorest PM in Balkans, Djukanovic Richest

Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's Prime Minister, has the lowest salary and least properties out of all the leaders of the Western Balkan region.

In his property report, Vucic revealed that he receives a monthly salary of only €1,000 and owns 30m2 apartment. He does not own a car, or have any savings, apparently.

Milo Djukanovic, his counterpart in Montenegro, seems to be the wealthiest Prime Minister in the Balkans, despite running the smallest and least populated country.

Djukanovic receives a monthly salary of €1,130, but owns a 187m2 apartment, another 170m2 in different real estates and about 1,400m2 of land. Djukanovic also owns shares in the companies Capital Invest, Univerzitats and Global Montenegro.

Vjekoslav Bevanda, chair of the Bosnian Council of Ministers, in effect the Prime Minister, has declared that he receives a €1,070 salary, owns a 90m2 apartment and cottage, drives a Seat Leone and has bank savings.

The property data of Nikola Gruevski, Macedonian Prime Minister, suggest that Gruevski is more keen on art than real estate. He receives a €1,300 salary, has some bank savings, but has no property to his name. However, he owns 30 paintings worth around €9,000.

Zoran Milanovic, Croatian Prime Minister, and his Slovenian counterpart Alenka Bratusek, are among the best-paid prime ministers in the region.

Milanovic receives €2,600 a month, while Bratusek’s salary is €4,700. Bratusek seem also proportionally wealthier than the Zagreb politician.

While Milanovic owns a 127m2 apartment, he has neither car nor savings. Bratusek, on the other hand, drives a Mercedes, owns a 187m2 apartment, 366m2 of land and around 1,000m2 in orchards.
