The referendum is to be held in October alongside parliamentary election, informs ELTA.
The lion's share of the referendum's budget had to be assigned for salaries to members of the Electoral Committee.
Though five millions euro received will be sufficient for printing out bulletins only; therefore the Central Electoral Committee intends to cover remuneration expenses from the money for organizing the election.
Parliamentary election and consultative referendum regarding the power plant will be held on October 12, 2008.
