Details
The state budget is published as soon as it is approved by the Parliament on the Ministry of Public Finance website. The budget is presented as a set of PDF documents. The Ministry of Finance has formally refused (in written) to publish it as open data. On the same page, the Ministry publishes any rectification made during the year but the data is not aggregated. Thus, if one wants to know the actual budget, one has to take the information from two separate PDFs and make its own calculations.
