Chisinau, 22 March /MOLDPRES/ - Romania will donate Moldova 96 mini-busses meant for the carriage of pupils; the donation is to be concretized at an enlarged meeting of the two countries’ governments, due in Piatra Neamt, Romania, on 23 March, Romanian Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu has said.     

“There are concrete things which we will decide at our tomorrow joint meeting in Piatra Neamt. One of them is related to a donation Romania will make for Moldova – the 96 mini-busses meant for the transportation of pupils,” Grindeanu said in the beginning of a cabinet meeting today.  

According to the Romanian PM, this donation is a continuation of a programme from the previous years.  

“In the last years, we donated another 100 mini-busses.

They have been already bought, are prepared, we just have to carry them to Chisinau.

Prime Minister Pavel Filip on 23 March will pay a working visit to Romania. After a face-to-face meeting of the Moldovan and Romanian prime ministers, the discussions will continue at a plenary meeting of the two official delegations, in which more ministers will participate.
