What is fixed and what may change
The dates follow from the Law on State and Other Holidays. Orthodox Easter is on 2 May 2027, so the Easter days run from 30 April to 3 May.
When a day of a state holiday falls on a Sunday, the first working day after it is off. This does not apply to Saturdays or to religious holidays. In 2027 it gives one extra day: Tuesday 4 May.
Employees of other faiths may take their own religious days off: Catholic Christmas and Easter, the first days of Ramazan and Kurban Bajram, and Yom Kippur. Orthodox employees may also take the first day of their family patron saint day (slava), which differs per person. The Islamic dates depend on the moon and are not yet confirmed.
The government sometimes recommends extra days off, as it did for 8 January 2024. Such a recommendation does not bind employers.
