Basescu said the measure should also apply to the President's Office.

The head of state added his statement was misinterpreted when he said “a large number” – 20% - of public servants are “useless” and need to be laid off immediately.

Basescu said Wednesday he was referring to public sector institutions and the number envisaged nears 10,000 – 15,000 people, not 300,000.

The head of state once again said these measures need to be taken immediately, before the end of the month.
