"I want you to make sure that, during the exercise of my mandate as minister, I will focus my attention on working conditions, the social package and I will look for solutions for the possibility of privatizing the service living space. Another project that I proposed and for which I received support insurance from the state leadership refers to increasing the salary of the military by contract and doubling the military soldiers in time ", said Minister Gaiciuc.

Also, the officials checked if the measures to prevent the spread of the Covid - 19 viruses are observed and if the unit has the necessary stock of disinfectants and protective masks.
