The ministries of Labor, Development, Finance, European Funds, Agriculture, Environment, Transport and Economy will have their budgets increased, while Health, Culture and MAI (Administration and Internal Affairs) had to go through budget cuts.  The state Senate will also receive more money in 2015, while the Chamber of Deputies is getting less funds.

The two chambers of the Parliament established the timeline for voting on the budget on Saturday, and the draft will enter debate on December 19.
