Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski pledged not to allow any increase in salaries of public officials.

Starting next year there will be no increases in the salaries, Mickoski said during the Bloomberg Adria conference in Skopje, adding that this will be ensured by changing the way salaries of officials are calculated.

Before this announcment, low to top Government officials were looking into increases of between 130 and 330 EUR.
