Financing the execution of the Act Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism takes place within budgets of its executors. Pursuant to art. 11 of the Act on Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism, the funds in the amount of 1% of inflows from the excise tax on alcohol products to the state budget are earmarked for expenditures related with the National Programme of Preventing and resolving alcohol-related Problems.
