(...) The overall trends for 2023 show that, possibly in violation of the provisions set out in the Budget Law, the sectors represented by the Ministry of Welfare and the Ministry of Health, as well as the State Audit Office, have become the least prioritised.

Overall, there is one conclusion – state budget expenditure in 2023 does not align with the priorities defined in the Budget Law.
