The state budget is the key tool for implementing government policy. However, his understanding is demanding – even for public finances – because of his technical nature and complexity.

Citizens’ budget budget is a modern tool that simplifies the presentation of the state budget, either in the plan phase or after its resolution. Its purpose is to make the government’s general public understanding the government’s choices for public revenue and the disposal of costs. Through the budget of citizens, transparency and public dialogue on budget priorities are strengthened.
