police budget as of 31 December 2006 totalled SIT 81.2 billion, of which SIT 64.7 billion were
budgetary funds and SIT 16.5 earmarked funds. The difference between the valid and
revised budget lies in the changes of expenditure rights, donations and rentals received for
apartments and singles’ rooms rented.
