OPEN LETTER To the management personnel of the Republic of Moldova |
Translation from Romanian |
| Honourable management personnel of the Republic of Moldova, we, VB Trans Logistik, a company that has been operating on the transport market in Germany for decades, have responded to your repeated calls regarding the need to boost investment processes in the Republic of Moldova and, in 2022, we have come on the local transport market. We brought with us the rich experience accumulated in Germany, hoping that we will be able to change the situation for the better in this field and in the Republic of Moldova. Thus, investing around 6 million euros, we brought to the Republic of Moldova state-of-the-art coaches (with two floors), professional drivers, flight attendants with appreciable professional training. Guided by the idea that citizens of the Republic of Moldova should benefit from modern transport services at affordable costs, we set ticket prices several times lower than other companies. We were able to do this at the expense of the much larger capacities of transporting passengers with our buses, without admitting even the slightest probability of dumping. However, it can be seen that our activity and the effort put in for the good of passengers from the Republic of Moldova, who can now travel all over Europe with modem coaches at an affordable price, were not liked by our competitors, nor by any person we had initially hired, and later we were had to fire her, given that he did not rise to the level of the tasks set before him. For example, the person in question took 25 thousand euros from us for perfecting the set of documents related to the routes we use. But he didn't present us any documents and didn't return the money, which is why we filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office. What happened to us in the last months, we couldn't even imagine when we decided to invest in Moldova. To us were fabricated files, searches were carried out, bans were instituted on our drivers and flight attendants, de facto they were deprived of the possibility to activate and support their families. Messages are sent to them to leave our company and they will have no more problems. In parallel, our buses were repeatedly vandalized. Pressure was also exerted on our partner company - Nicar, which has nothing to do with our buses, but only sells tickets on the routes we operate. We are being sent camouflaged messages that we are not wanted on the market of the Republic of Moldova and that, if we do not understand this, other pressures could follow. Everywhere we hear about cousins and we are told that one is relatives of X, and X is relatives of Y, etc. And all these relatives, having positions of responsibility, will get what they want anyway - our departure from the market of the Republic of Moldova. We do not understand why our competitors, instead of improving their conditions for transporting passengers, choose to attack us. Competition must be free and healthy, but not with the illegal involvement of state structures for our annihilation. Honourable management personnel of the Republic of Moldova! We request that you take personal control of our company's case. Because, if outside investors find out how we are treated, those who came here from the German market, they will no longer have any interest in the Republic of Moldova. We are still trying to be optimistic and hope that the abuses against us will stop, and the company will be able to carry out its activity as it is natural in a state of law. However, if this does not happen, we will have to give concrete names, but also other relevant details in the context of the pressures to which we are subjected. We also reserve the right, as an economic agent active on the German market, to call on the international press and warn potential investors about the true investment climate in the Republic of Moldova. We will also make use of all the legal possibilities we have to involve the relevant European structures, which cannot fail to take a stand against the pressures to which an economic agent from the European Union is subjected. |
