Minister Mali confirmed that the applying for 100 euro financial assistance by adult citizens would start on May 15 and would last until June 5, and stressed that that was a necessary measure, since it was taken by the most developed countries in the world.

He added that the amount of taxes, the payment of which was deferred until next year, reached 29.5 billion dinars.
