The government will restrict access to websites containing information used for criminal activities, a move aimed at combating the spread of harmful content and protecting public safety.

Beyond digital security, the government also approved a significant funding program. 30 million lei will be allocated to 30 projects in localities within the Security Zone, and an additional 21.66 million lei will partially compensate farmers in the Dubossary region for their losses. Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, Oleg Serebrian, highlighted that approximately 5 million lei will be directed towards eight schools in areas not controlled by the Moldovan authorities, marking a record allocation for such programs. These decisions reflect Moldova's commitment to enhancing both its digital infrastructure and its regional stability. The government's proactive approach to online safety and its substantial investment in the Security Zone demonstrate its dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens.
