Montenegro’s Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services announced the timetable for the reduction of roaming fees in the Balkan region. This follows a consultation with local operators Crnogorski Telekom, Telenor and m:tel. The decision is based on the agreement on reducing roaming fees signed between the ministries responsible for electronic communications in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro.
The decision sets maximum wholesale and retail prices of roaming services over three periods: from 30 June 2015 to 30 June 2016, from 01 July 2016 to 30 June 2017 and from 01 July 2017 onwards. From 30 June this year, the maximum retail price of an outgoing call will be EUR 0.29/minute (50% reduction on average price); incoming calls will cost EUR 0.08/minute (70% drop); text messages will cost EUR 0.09 each (50% drop) and data services will cost EUR 0.70/MB (70% drop).
Identical decisions on lowering the roaming prices have also been adopted by the regulators of electronic communications in Serbia (Ratel), Macedonia (AEK) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (RAK).
