This thesis addresses excess mortality among the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovenia and Montenegro. The research explores how various measures to limit the spread of the virus impacted the mortality rates of individuals aged 65 and over. Through an analysis of excess mortality and a review of the most significant measures, the study finds that strict restrictive measures, such as movement and social interaction limitations, effectively reduced mortality among the elderly in Slovenia, while the measures in Montenegro had a less pronounced effect. The thesis provides an in-depth insight into the impact of the pandemic on the elderly population in both countries and highlights the importance of timely and effective measures to protect the most vulnerable groups.
