The traditional fair dedicated to Holy Easter has started in Chisinau, as over 70 companies sell their products. Most of the merchants propose foodstuffs. One can choose a wide variety of sponge cakes, pound cakes and the indispensable Easter cake. The customers are also invited to buy candies, meat products, chocolate eggs, teas etc. The people wanting to buy honey can queue at the stands of the apiculturists. This year, bakery Franzeluta has prepared a wide spectrum of Eastern and sponge cakes. Some of them are prepared according Italian recipes. In addition to the foodstuffs, the fair also proposes industrial ware, as glass vases, dishware, apparel and footwear. The ones looking for presents for their relatives can also find china ornaments, post cards and specific Easter symbols. A number of visitors have told Info-Prim Neo that, unlike the last year, the prices of cakes are much higher, and that is why many housewives will cook themselves. Yet, the vendors say the products do sell, despite the higher prices. Valentina Constantinov, the deputy head of the Chisinau Municipality’s Commerce Direction has told Info-Prim Neo they issued about 90 authorizations for selling places near the Cathedral’s Park, as more 20 companies more than the last year will join the fair. The fair will last till April 26, between 10.00 and 20.00 o’clock.
