The Minister of Culture said that after the transition of the Uniates and the OCU to a new calendar style, the authorities must also move the public holidays.

"Today we talked to our fellow MPs about the fact that the decision of our Churches also presents challenges for us to change the official holidays," Tkachenko said.

He noted that relevant legislative documents will be drafted in the near future.
