This one contributed to making this street more attractive for those who want to build houses here. Another group from the village of Navarnet, Falesti district managed to encourage the community to change the doors and windows of the kindergarten from the locality, thus providing decent condtions for children", Igor Mironiuc, CPP Balti coordinator, declared for DECA-press.
