Speaker Parliament Slavica DJukic-Dejanovic said on Saturday that the 2010 budget will be adopted by December 20th, reported to Serbian news service B92.
According to the law, the government must adopt the budget by November 1 and the parliament must confirm it by December 15th.
Government officials said that it is possible that rules will be adopted for those responsible for such tardiness in the future to have to face some kind of consequences.
