Mayors Dorin Chirtoaca and Mircea Hava signed the twining agreement in Alba Iulia on December 1, Info-Prim Neo reports. “The relations between Chisinau and Alba Iulia started to develop in 1990. A conclusive proof is that we have a boulevard and a library named Alba Iulia in Moldova’s capital,” said Dorin Chirtoaca. He also said that the local public administration of Alba Iulia during the last two years donated the busts of poets Adrian Paunescu and Grigore Vieru, which were set up on the Classical Writers Alley in Chisinau’s central park. Under the twinning agreement, the local authorities of Chisinau and Alba Iulia aim to strengthen the relations between the two cities by implementing a number of joint projects, mainly in the cultural and social spheres.
