We have an unique counter. This facilitate the activity of the entrepreneurs", said Chiril Gaburici.On October 14, 2019, Arena Chisinau will be put into operation, and this is because construction works are taking place very fast. This was announced by Chiril Gaburici, who mentioned that it is also working in winter.

The construction of the pipeline represents an alternative to supplying the internal gas market and will strengthen the energy security of the Republic of Moldova. Thus, by the end of 2019, we will have this functional duct. This was announced by the Minister of Economy and Infrastructure, Mr. Chiril Gaburici.
"The Transgaz project, an alternative to the existing situation. We have an understanding with Transgaz that we will have this functional pipeline by the end of 2019. We have done a great deal of work, so Transgaz colleagues, when building works begin, do not have no problem, no impediment.
They are now in the process of negotiating and bidding with partners to build the gas pipeline. It ensures that the gas flow to our pipeline is enough to be able to supply everything Moldova needs.
Advantage no. 1 - is an alternative source, 2 - provided another source, we have access to several suppliers and we will decide the best tariff.
What about electricity, we made the clear decision where we're moving. We will connect with the EU network, connecting us to the network with Romania. Based on these agreements, we will build the connection point between both countries and the power line that joins the south of Moldova with the center. This will happen in the next period. It is a very big project and we will work", concluded Gaburici.
The year 2019 is just as fruitful as this is because the projects for people will continue. Chiril Gaburici says he will continue to find new markets for our products, and our agricultural product will be of more value.
"We will continue with the infrastructure projects. It is important that the roads that unite the Republic of Moldova with the EU, with Romania, will be accomplished, we will continue with the First House, the programs for the people living outside the country, and we will continue to promote the Republic of Moldova. We want to add value to the agricultural product of the Republic of Moldova.
We want to create conditions. We will continue to find new markets for our products. We will try to increase the odds we have. IT is an important sequel and we want to bring great players into this field.
I have begun talks about an increase in Repubblica Moldova, starting with 9 figures. We need a setup that would help us do this", said Chiril Gaburici.
