In his words, shifts in the government will surely result in staff reduction. "I will not speak about everything in detail, but, for example, such services as the economic management, accounting, servicing will be reduced during mergers," Mr. Gordeyev emphasized.
"If we speak about the modern requirements to the structure of the government, it's evident that the cabinet's new structure corresponds to the tasks set before the country," the minister added.
