A plenary meeting of the autumn parliamentary session on Tuesday evening approved amendments to the law on government structure.
After having considered some controversial matters, a majority of MPs (74%) passes the draft amendments to these laws and to the draft resolution of parliament on altering the parliamentary resolution appendix on approving the structure of state administrative bodies.
Accordingly, six Ministries merged into three, others remained as they are. The government for reforms will have 13 Ministries--of Environment and Green Development; Defense; Education and Sciences; Foreign Relations and Economic Cooperation; Finance; Justice; Road, Transportation, Construction and Urban Development; Culture, Sport and Tourism; Mining and Energy; Labour; Population Development and Social Welfare; Industry and Agriculture; and of Health.
The altered laws and resolutions will come into force when new ministers will be appointed.
