It is about 20 computers, 50 tape recorders, 50 radios, a video camera, a camera, speakers and furniture for computers.

The deputy head of the German embassy, Florian Seitz, said that the Moldovan authorities should pay increased attention to this category of people, in order to be able to integrate in society in an easier way.
