Popularising governing programme

Prime Minister Zinaida Greceanii has met representatives of Top-50 taxpayers of the national public budget. She stressed that the name of the programme “Progress and Integration” enounces the two strategic development directions of Moldova — making progress in all fields of activity, territorial reintegration and European integration.
