According to the sources, the Government will adopt the decision to seek a confidence vote on the education bill in a meeting Wednesday and will follow the required parliamentary procedures, adding a similar decision will be adopted next week regarding the draft unitary wage law.

The governing coalition met Monday evening to decide on ways to pass priority laws such as the pension reform and the education bill.

President Traian Basescu Monday invited parliamentary parties at the presidential palace for talks on the pension bill, which he has sent back to Parliament for reexamination, the education bill, the unitary wage law, future privatizations and the absorption of EU funds. Opposition parties have declined to take part in the talks.
