Nezavisne novine: The Government of the FBiH has at the yesterday's continuation of the session confirmed the Draft budget of the FBiH for the next year in the amount of 1.56 billion KM, which is by 270 million KM smaller than in this year, has been notified from the Government of the FBiH.
"By the Draft Law on Budget Execution of the FBiH for 2009, there has been prescribed the obligation to the budget users to deliver to the Ministry of Finance the three-month financial plans for the budget execution, 15 days before beginning of that three-month period, and by the 25th in current month to deliver a proposal plan for the next month. If they do not do that, their plan will be determined by the Ministry of Finance", has been stated in notification. Until conclusion of this number of "Nezavisne novine" the details on distribution of money have not been available because the session has still lasted, but we unofficially find out that 260 million KM has been predicted for salaries, 360 million KM for veteran population, around 280 million KM for social categories, but not even one KM has been predicted for unemployed demobilized soldiers.
"The hardest will be to define giving salaries and social remunerations, but also to define the development component of the budget", Bevanda has said. According to available data, the demands of the ministries are far from the framework amount. So the Ministry for Soldier Issues ask for 380 million KM, and the Ministry for Work and Social Policy around 530 million KM. Giving for an advance retirement is 200 million KM, salaries of the budget users at current level is around 200 million KM, and for the agriculture should according to the actual laws separate 3% of the budget (around 50 million KM). It has also been notified that around 10 million KM will be separated for the small and middle companies, but a deficit from this year could be bigger than 400 million KM.
