On February 9-13 2026, the cabinet organized public consultations on the APL reform in the districts of Drochia, Soroca, Nisporeni, Floresti, Sangerei, Cantemir and Cahul.
All interested parties were invited to the discussions, and the government’s representatives spoke about the need for involvement, both at the administrative level and at the community level, in preparing the reform concept.
