According to the Romanian official, at the next stage a team of Romanian experts will be dispatched to Chisinau to share Romania’s experience and to help prepare the vaccination strategy. “Close cooperation with the responsible authorities of the Republic of Moldova and their involvement are needed for the purpose,” stated Klaus Iohannis.
