Here, between the right bank and the left bank, the life is with more intensity. I think there are enough reasons to enjoy the project today, which is an absolute priority. The European route involves quality services, and today is a moment of the balance sheet.

I congratulate you on this beautiful initiative to bring firefighters and rescuers closer to the citizen's needs and closer to the solution of the proximity of the two banks of the Dniester, "concluded Deputy Prime Minister Cristina Lesnic.
