Jurečka: Govt. to present details of savings plan by end of week

The minister for labour and social affairs, Marian Jurečka, says the coalition should agree on a “consolidation package” of measures by the end of the week. He told journalists on Wednesday that the priority in the five-party government was to find savings.

Ministers discussed ways to cut spending on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The government had previously said it would present details of a plan to reduce the budget deficit by CZK 70 billion in mid-May.
