TIRANA, Sep 22 – The Turkish Weekly newspaper reported last week that presidents of Kosova and Albania, Fatmir Sejdiu and Bamir Topi respectively, have the highest salaries among presidents from Balkan countries.
Sejdiu receives a monthly salary of 2,600 Euros and Topi has a monthly salary of some 2,100 Euros.
Serbia’s President Boris Tadic receives some 1,900 Euros and the ‘least well-paid’ president in the Balkans seems to be Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski with less than 1,200 Euros, followed closely by his Montenegrin counterpart President Filip Vujanovic who receives some 1,300 Euros.
Romanian President Traian Basescu, whose country is an EU member, receives 2,500 Euros.
