• The reform of the civil service selection procedure and the reform of the digitalization of civil service management are being postponed.

• Ministries are being brought into line with the new names.

• The creation of the Specialized District Administrative Court and the Specialized Administrative Court of Appeal is being postponed - we are still waiting for the relevant law to come into force.

• Instead of digitalizing the judicial system, it is proposed to implement a pilot project in 15 courts at the first and appellate instance levels.

• Changes to the project for the creation and implementation of a register of bank accounts of individuals and safe deposit boxes.

• A number of other important legislative reforms are also being postponed for the time being.

• The system for controlling the receipt of state aid will be changed, so the deadline for its implementation has also been postponed. The legislation will allow the introduction of separate aid schemes to support businesses.

• A new law will also come into force, restoring control of state aid to businesses by the Antimonopoly Committee.

• The date of entry into force of the law on state veterans' policy is being postponed.

• A number of state guarantees to ensure the functioning of certain programs are now simply listed as "investments."

• The last thing is that state funding for demining agricultural land has been reduced.
