Minister Aleksandar Damjanović assessed that former minister Milojko Spajić's comment that the budget proposal is destroying the state is inappropriate and he has the least right to talk about it.

"He illegally and secretly issued bonds without a decision in the Official Gazette. He received a negative opinion from the SAI, which he calls politicized, but he was not bothered by the SAI's assessment of the issuance of bonds. He left the healthcare sector in huge doubt," said Damjanović.

He recalled that Spajić asked for 1,5 billion debts, which the parliament blocked.

"He knows very well what the IMF told him regarding the hedging arrangement, and I was told at the IMF that the state should open its eyes to this business," said Damjanović.

Prime Minister Dritan Abazović said that he understood the political context, but that he expected more correctness from Spajić, to whom the URA supported the budget proposal with revenues that were not realistically planned.

"The budget cannot be called hostile when there are so many social benefits. We fully support this proposal. We don't need populism, but a realistic story," Abazović said.
