TIRANA, Nov 24 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama affirmed Friday that his government plans to allocate around EUR 400 million in significant pay raises for teachers, doctors and nurses, the police and servicemen and other state employees under the 2024 draft budget.

The government head underlined than an additional EUR 250 million will be allocated for the pension indexation and year-end bonus for the retired people.
