The government has yet to reach an agreement on next year's state budget. Hlas-SD has made its support contingent on a pay raise for police officers, while SNS is demanding higher pensions for people over the age of 90. The opposition does not expect any spending cuts, warning instead that the government will increase spending ahead of the elections.
