The money will be allotted from the budget reserve fund according to a decision approved by the Government Wednesday.

Of the total sum, RON40,000 will be for staff expenses, while RON150,000 will be used to purchase goods and services.

Late October, the budget of the Interior Ministry, which organizes and oversees the referendum in the country, was allotted a supplementary RON2.4 million from the budget reserve fund, while the National Statistics Institute received an additional RON3.6 million.

Romania holds a national referendum for a single-chamber Parliament with a maximum 300 lawmakers on November 22, at the same time with presidential elections.
