The 2010 agreement allowed Romania to finance some emblematic projects, such as the rehabilitation and modernization of over 1,000 kindergartens and schools in the Republic of Moldova or to ensure a contribution to the development of the Iasi-Chisinau gas pipeline, a strategic energy interconnection project between Romania and the Republic of Moldova.
