The permanent office of the Parliament has approved the agenda for this week’s plenary session, which also includes the project regarding the denunciation of the Cultural Agreement with the Russian Federation. The measure will lead to the suspension of the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Chisinau, also known as the “Russian House”, reports IPN.

The report of the Ministry of Culture on this subject was endorsed on Wednesday by the Foreign Policy Committee of the Parliament, with a single vote against. The leader of the Socialist Party Faction, Igor Dodon, announced that the socialists will not support the denunciation of the agreement in plenary, mentioning that no convincing evidence was presented to the allegations that, under the cover of the respective center, subversive activities against the state would be carried out.

The plenary session of the Parliament is scheduled for November 13, starting at 10:00. Among other things, the deputies will examine the amendments to the State Budget Law for the year 2025 and to the State Social Insurance Budget Law for the current year.

Furthermore, the Parliament is set to ratify the Credit Facility Agreement with the French Development Agency, through which the Republic of Moldova will benefit from a funding of 25 million euros, intended for the implementation of reforms in the energy sector.

On the agenda of the meeting, there is also the examination of resignation requests from some deputies. The President of the legislature and the leader of PAS, Igor Grosu, announced on Wednesday that Viorel Bostan, the rector of the Technical University of Moldova, Roman Cojuhari, who remains at the head of the Public Property Agency, and Nicolae Drăgănel, who retains his position in the Călărași District Council, are giving up their parliamentary mandates.

Over 60 children aged between 7 and 10 years old learned about the role of a central bank and the importance of responsible financial decisions at the National Bank of Moldova. The young visitors discovered the collection of commemorative gold and silver coins and identified the safety features of banknotes using special equipment, reports IPN.

Speaking at the event “A vacantion day at the NBM,” Central Bank Governor Anca Dragu said that financial education begins in childhood, with children’s first questions about money and the world around them. The NBM governor encouraged participants to be curious and to confidently explore the world of money.

“Through this initiative, we have transformed learning into a captivating experience, where play, dialogue, and discovery naturally complement each other. A child who understands the value of money can become an adult who makes responsible decisions”, declared Anca Dragu.

During the visit, the children explored the exhibition hall of the BNM and discovered how money has evolved over time.

The Tiraspol administration has refused to delegate its political representative to Chisinau for a new round of “1+1” format negotiations. The Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, Valeriu Chiveri, stated that the Transnistrian side justified its decision by the fact that the subjects proposed by Chisinau would not be found on the negotiation agenda and by the existence of alleged security risks related to travel to the capital, reports IPN.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, Chisinau intended to present information about the implementation of the Convergence Fund, as well as measures regarding VAT and excise duties, aimed at facilitating the activity of economic agents in the Transnistrian region. “We received a refusal stating that this subject is not part of the negotiation agenda,” the Deputy Prime Minister specified.

The official also rejected the arguments put forward by Tiraspol regarding alleged security issues, emphasizing that representatives of the Transnistrian administration often travel to Chisinau without encountering difficulties.

The latest negotiations in the “1+1” format took place in February and April, both meetings being held at the headquarters of the OSCE Mission in Tiraspol.
