New Minister of Finance, Dusan Vujovic, will have to decrease salaries and pensions, cut grey economy as well as to increase tax payment collection and public companies efficiency.
- The Government will decide to what extent salaries and pensions will decrease
and it should be as less as possible. We are a step or two far from the
rebalance preparation and set up of key parameters for the program in the next
three years – Vujovic who was yesterday elected by the Assembly with 175 votes
for and 9 against, says.
His first task will be to cut budget costs. This year, the state has to save a billion euros. Details of new measures will be known after rebalance completes and it should be discussed September 15.

some 10% public income from public companies – the new Minister of
