“I believe that in this case the transfer of weekends from winter to a warmer time is quite a logical step and, in principle, it is coordinated with all participants in the production cycle: with employers and with trade unions,” said Babich.

“Of course, the need for long weekends during the May holidays for the overwhelming majority of the population is probably more than on New Year’s holidays,” concluded Babich.
Earlier, the government approved the postponement of the weekend in 2020.
Weekends on January 4 and 5 (Saturday and Sunday), which coincide with non-working holidays, are postponed to May 4 and 5.
