Details

PDF files that contain information on the government's budget for a given year can be found on the website of the Ministry of Finance. Data is available since 2008. A link to an XML file of the Budget exists but it's broken.

Reviewer's note - I was able to access the XML file in this address - http://www.finance.gov.mk/files/u6/budzet%202015.xml Therefore I changed the machine readable section to Yes.
