At the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development we have two priorities. These are the European Village Program, where we need to reduce the project implementation cycle.

He requested that in the next ten days, the new Ministers of Education, Internal Affairs and Infrastructure publicly present the actions to be taken to achieve the goals.

They are Dan Perciun, Minister of Education and Research, Andrei Spînu, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, and Adrian Efros, Minister of Internal Affairs. The changes were made after Anatolie Topală, Lilia Dabija and Ana Revenco resigned late last week.
