Note: In accordance with the methodology and practices of accounting for military expenditures in the UN and NATO some of the expenditures indicated above, for instance, for civil defense or maintenance of public utilities (infrastructure) of the space vehicle launching site Baikonur, may be excluded from the category of military expenditures. However, due to their insignificance, it would not have changed the general picture of military expenditures. On the contrary, according to the UN standards, pensions paid to former servicepersons should have been included in the military expenditures.
However, from the point of view of civilian and public control, the transparency and reliability of expenditures are more important than the category they were included in.
3.8.2. Execution of the federal budget in 2003
In 2003, the financing of military expenditures was carried out in accordance with the approved budget. The adjustment of military expenditures was made only in November, simultaneously with the general adjustment of the federal budget by federal law No. 150-FZ. At the same time, the general increase in the military expenditures was insignificant and made 2 to 4 per cent (the expenditures of the federal budget grew by 2.85 per cent), however, there were significantly raised expenditures for the federal border guard service (by 8.15 per cent) and implementation of the military reform (by 10.5 per cent). The budget expenditures for preparation for and participation in collective security and peace making operations, as well as pensions of servicepersons of the Defense Ministry were reduced by Rub. 541 million (60 per cent) and Rub. 5 billion 123 million (8 per cent) respectively. It may be assumed that initially overestimated amounts targeted for these budget expenditure items were partially a result of mistakes in planning and partially a result of objective circumstances.
The data on the execution of the federal budget for year 2003 presented in Tables 62 – 64 were obtained from the monthly reports of the RF Federal Treasury and quarterly reports of the RF Government presented to the State Duma.
