MF Dnes: Janota proposes housing subsidies cuts for soldiers

The daily Mladá fronta Dnes reported Thursday that the Minister of Finance, Eduard Janota, has prepared a proposal to cut housing subsidies for 25,000 soldiers by 36%. Preliminary calculations suggest that the measure would save the state one billion crowns per year. According to MF Dnes, security negotiators from the emerging coalition are not opposed to the idea; the Minister of Defence, it says, is aware of the plan but does not intend to comment.
