The Chisinau Municipal Council approved the composition of the commission that will work out the register and regulations. Mayor General Dorin Chirtoaca was named chairman of the commission. Deputy mayor Nistor Grozavu will act as deputy chairman. The members of the commission are experts in the field and include Vladimir Modarca.
