Putin says funds allocated for May 2012 presidential decrees used with delays

MOSCOW. May 7 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the funds allocated for the implementation of the May 2012 presidential decrees were used with delays.

"Cash execution of expenses is evidently halting: out of 192 billion rubles of additional budget funds to implement certain activities coming directly from the decrees, only 17 billion rubles were distributed following the quarter, which is less than 10%," Putin said at a meeting dedicated to the implementation of the May 2012 presidential decrees.

Amid this fact, the Russian president offered to discuss the issue at the meeting.
