It is not about reviewing our previous programs or indices set by the budget. The work is underway to meet these goals; we should make that work more efficient and display a more principled approach. I am talking about setting new priorities under current conditions, necessitated by the external negative impulses. It’s been a difficult winter, difficult first of all from the social point of view. Reduced capabilities of...
