Marko highlighted the austerity measure which cut by 25% public sector employees' wages will be applied until December 31, 2010, adding new rules will govern starting January 1. He stressed that the wage law is currently discussed by the ruling coalition.

The deputy prime minister said staff and spending cuts in the public sector allow future wage increases, even though the salary fund remains unchanged.

Marko, who is also the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania leader, said his party upholds higher increase levels for employees with low wages.
