20 parties have registered in the current election campaign. Many people say it is a too big number for such a small country as Moldova. At the same time, much more parties could take part in the election campaign.

The conclusion was made a a meeting between Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat and a group of businessmen from the Czech Republic, which was also attended by the new Czech Ambassador to Moldova, Jaromír Kvapil.

The guests informed the Moldovan prime minister about the progress with the project and outlined a set of measures which need the assistance of the Moldovan authorities, including coordination with the Romanian partners.

The representatives of the company pledged to use state-of-the art technology for the plant which will meet all the European requirements, in particular environmental standards. Owing to the fact that the plant will burn other fuels than natural gas (coal and biomass), the project will contribute to a higher level of energy security, without damaging the environment in the region.

Jaromír Kvapil expressed his hope that in the next 3 years, his supposed term in office, the project will be completed and other projects with the participation of Czech investors will be launched.

Investment in the Ungheni project is estimated at 615 million euros, which will be used, among other, to build infrastructure, and this means new jobs. The project is intended to enhance energy security both regionally and nationally.
