APOTA Threatened Protests Over Passenger Transport Reform; Authorities Called for Dialogue

A conflict has erupted in Moldova over passenger transport reform: an industry association has declared its readiness to protest if its concerns are not addressed, while the relevant ministry insists on an open discussion and rejects accusations of lobbying on behalf of individual players. Amid the dispute over new rules for routes, digital systems, and requirements for carriers, the parties disagree on how exactly the market will change and who stands to benefit.
