Budgets, all those who have received so far from the savings made by the institutions, will receive the prize in December, as traditionally received. Similarly, Vlad Plahotniuc said he will maintain the annual award.

"Another social topic I discussed with my colleagues is about the holiday prize, which is traditionally provided by the savings made by the institutions each year in December, and at the basis of our discussions there were some speculation of the opposition, that after the salary reform we made this holiday prize will not be granted. 

I announce here that all the budgets, all those who have received so far from the savings made by the institutions, the prize, will receive it in December as traditionally received.

The annual prize, the so-called 13th salary, which budget workers will continue to receive in February, will also be preserved, or (in the case of education budgets) in August, as they were receiving each year.

I want to assure you that the ruling Democratic Party knows how to maintain and amplify this growth of the economy so that in 2019 and the coming years we will also come with salary increases with retirements, awards and awards for all categories of citizens, for people to have a better life here, at home", said the DPM leader, Vlad Plahotniuc.
