EU TO HELP MOLDOVA REPAIR CHISINAU CIRCUS AND BENDER FORTRESS

The European Union supports restoration works at the Bender Fortress and at Chisinau Circus of Moldova according to international standards.

According to the EU Eastern Neighbors website, the project is carried out in the framework of the EU Confidence Building Measures Program, implemented by UNDP.

“The European Union is pleased to have the chance to participate to this long-term restoration project for which approximately 2.5 million euros are allocated till 2021. This historical complex is of a national and international importance, with significant touristic perspectives,” said Fabien Schaeffer, program manager at the European Union Delegation to the Republic of Moldova.

The Program has commissioned a technical expertise which will determine the exact works that are needed and most affected portions, in need of urgent interventions.

The EU Confidence Building Measures Program, implemented by UNDP, contributes to building confidence among the inhabitants from both banks of the Dniester River by involving them in joint projects.
