Yes. The increase is confirmed, not merely proposed: the government adopted Decree No. 235 on 29 October 2026, and it was published in the State Gazette on 3 November. It takes effect on 1 January 2027. vesti If you have seen a €690 figure reported elsewhere, that was the amount trade unions sought; the government’s final decision is €660. nova #### Source links returned with this reply -
