The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova approved a law to provide tax and customs exemptions for the import of 24 string instruments, including violins, violas, cellos, and a double bass. The acquisition, valued at 324,000 euros, is intended for the National Chamber Orchestra and will be managed by the ‘Sala cu Orgă’ (Organ Hall) in Chișinău.

These exemptions are expected to save approximately 54,000 euros in public funds.
