Pavel to discuss budget concerns with Fiala and Stanjura in December

President Petr Pavel is set to discuss his concerns about the draft state budget for next year with Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Finance Minister Zbyněk Stanjura (both Civic Democratic Party) after December 7. The meeting will take place following his return from an overseas trip and the third reading of the proposal in the Chamber of Deputies. In an interview with Blesk newspaper, Pavel stated he has not yet decided whether to veto or approve the budget. He aims to ensure any decision addresses shortcomings while avoiding interim measures such as a provisional budget. Pavel will also consult advisors before finalizing his stance.
