The Abkhazian authorities are faced with a serious financial problem.
Acting Finance Minister Vladimir Delba reported that the republic does not have enough money to pay salaries.
Public sector workers, including teachers, doctors and law enforcement officers, were hit, RIA Novosti reports.
The situation with financing in the republic is worrying, as there are no funds in the budget for payments.
The budget does not pay wages to any worker in this sector, Delba emphasized.
The main reason for the lack of funds is the suspension of Russian financial aid.
Since the beginning of September, social payments by Russia have been stopped.
Now all the money is directed towards paying for the electricity that Abkhazia receives from Russia.
As part of the consolidation of funds for electricity payments, there are risks of non-payment of salaries to public sector employees.
Abkhazia is facing a shortage of funds due to the failure to fulfill the obligations assumed within the framework of harmonization of legislation with the Russian Federation.
