Victor Yushchenko has told reporters the Secretariat will receive next year’s budget on Saturday or on Monday. Then our economists will analyze it for two days, he added, according to the President`s press-office.

      “I would like to meet with the Prime Minister on Tuesday or on Wednesday to address the budget issue, speak about its flaws and then make a presidential decision [to sign or veto it]," he said.
