Elizaveta Breahnă will serve as interim director of the National Office of Vine and Wine ONVV until a general director is appointed by standard procedure, IPN reports.
Elizaveta Breahnă was introduced to the ONVV staff by Sergiu Gherciu, state secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry. “For the wine-making community you have become a remarkable figure with an impeccable reputation. I wish you productive cooperation with the ONVV team so that you can grow the Office together. Also, we rely on the involvement of each employee to develop the wine sector in a coordinated and sustainable manner”, Gherciu was quoted in a press release as saying.
For her part, Elizaveta Breahnă said she will do her best to create the necessary conditions for the sector to grow. “I hope to further have the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry to see new achievements both nationally and internationally. We aim to increase sales and become more competitive so that Moldovan wines become a symbol of quality despite all the weather and crises”, stated the interim director.
For almost a year, the National Office of Vine and Wine had been headed by Cristina Frolov, a former manager of Castel Mimi Winery. Last November, she was appointed for a term of four years, but in September of this year, the Ministry revoked her appointment. Frolov said she would challenge the decision in court.
