Boc stressed, however, that the government would issue no order in this respect, adding ministers would make their own decisions in this respect.

Furthermore, Boc said he came up with the idea following talks on the way public funds are used, stressing the country’s economy is not that strong.

Boc is on visit in the country’s northern region of Maramures where he met with local democrat liberal mayors and the heads of decentralized institutions.
