On September 3rd<\/sup> Moldova celebrates National Army Day. On the eve of this day, the Minister of Defense, Vitalie Marinuta has confessed in an interview for Radio Free Europe that there is room for improvement in the activity of the National Army.<\/p>\n

When asked how much support Republic of Moldova would need to have an army that citizens of the country would be proud with, the Minister specified that a percentage of the GDP would have been sufficient. “I’m not able to say how much money we need because we should look back at the missions of the army. And if they are the same with those of 20 years ago, peacekeeping operation in the Transnistrian region, airspace security, preparation for peacekeeping operation abroad, maintenance of minimum capacity for a counteraction, then we really need at least a percentage of the GDP. It would be a pretty big amount”, explained Vitalie Marinuta.<\/p>\n

In the context, Vitalie Marinuta acknowledged that there are problems in the activity of the National Army. “I wouldn’t say our soldier has nothing to eat or is poorly nourished. Unfortunately, this year I haven’t managed yet to fulfill a promise made last year; that we will start a house-building project. There are some problems and I hope to solve them this fall”, added the Minister.<\/p>\n

Vitalie Marinuta has also states that the Ministry of Defense doesn’t have the necessary support from the State Chancellery. However, he has expressed confidence that by the end of the year the house-building project will start.<\/p>\n

Currently, the National Army commands about 0,37-0,38% of the GDP, which is “a too small percentage and enables us only to maintain the army, without developing it”, concluded Marinuta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
