It will be a component for the financing of external projects, but also another component for the elaboration of the necessary documentation for the projects. In this sense, a Regulation of the Regional Development Fund will be elaborated, which will be widely consulted with the local public authorities ", added Natalia Gavrilița.

A special theme was the issue of public procurement - ensuring the transparency and efficiency of public money.
