Many days off, work pushed to weekends
The Cabinet of Ministers adopted the calendar of holidays for 2014, generously doling out days off, Vesti reports.
For example, in January 2014 Ukrainians will be out of work for seven days. Just to compare, last year 2 January was already a work day. Also the Cabinet specified when these days are to be covered - 11, 25 January and 8 February.
There will be three-day breaks both in March and April. For Women’s Day 8 to 10 March will be festive, and 19 to 21 April – for Easter.
Constitution Day will span 28 to 30 June, and for Independence Day we will celebrate from 23 to 25 August.
