　　After the presidium of the CDU held a meeting on the 26th, the party secretary-general Timiak announced the above decision.

He said that the top leaders of the party generally believe that the current epidemic situation does not allow the party congress with 1,001 representatives to be held offline on December 4.

Zimiak said that the CDU will continue to evaluate the development of the epidemic and will make a decision on the party congress schedule at the presidium meeting to be held from January 15 to 16, 2021 at the latest.
