Employers are obliged to allow employees who practice a religion other than the Eastern Orthodox one to use part of the annual paid leave or unpaid leave for the days of the respective religious holidays, but not more than the number of days for the Eastern Orthodox religious holidays. The days for the religious holidays of the denominations, other than the Eastern Orthodox one, are determined by the Council of Ministers on the proposal of the official leadership of the respective denomination.
