The parliament passed a new Law on the reduction of net wages for public sector employees. Other amendments provide for a two-year ban on employment of new workers in the public sector, in force until December 31, 2015. Under the adopted law, the total number of part-time workers will be limited to 10% of the total number of employees in an agency or institution that is directly or indirectly financed from the budget, and new workers can be employed only with the consent of a government body, on the recommendation by a ministry or other competent body.
