Radu Marian Replaced by Dorian Istratii on European Integration Commission

Commenting on the decision, Radu Marian said he was removed from the commission because he no longer chairs Parliament’s Committee on Economy, Budget and Finance. Radu Marian will be replaced by Dorian Istratii on Moldova’s National Commission for European Integration. President Maia Sandu signed the corresponding decree, realitatea.md reports.
