There is money in the budget for the realization of the fifth package of anti-crisis measures. The budget is stable and has a good collection in both the Public Revenue Office and the Customs, said today the Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, answering journalists' questions after the meeting in the Parliament with the parliamentary group of the Alliance of Albanians and Alternative.

He reminded that a Eurobond of 700 million euros was taken at the lowest interest rate and that the collection in both the PRO and the customs is higher compared to March last year.

- We are fully financially prepared. In March alone, we have a 28,6 percent higher collection of customs, excise and value added tax from March 2020. The first 10 days, we have 150 percent collection, more precisely more than 50 percent collection in both PRO and Customs. I have the data until April 8 and for the whole quarter in the Customs and the PRO we have 2 billion and 800 million denars more collected compared to 2020. In the eight days of April alone, we have one billion and 180 million denars more collection compared to the eight days of April 2020 from customs, said Zaev.

He announced that they are working on the sixth package of measures that will be aimed at the catering sector, which due to restrictive measures does not work in this period.

Regarding yesterday's events in the Parliament where the fifth package of anti-crisis measures was to be adopted, Zaev referred the answers to the President of the Parliament, the deputies and the coordinators of the parliamentary groups, and condemned yesterday's violence against a woman MP.

- The least we should expect from such MPs is an apology, said Zaev.

SDSM today at a press conference accused that the coordinator of VMRO-DPMNE Nikola Micevski yesterday at the parliamentary session dared to silence MP Daniela Markovska and endanger her freedom of speech in the parliament hall.
