"There are solutions for everything, the first step is to set up the ADI in Bucharest, the mayor general with the mayors of the sectors have already decided this (...) We also have the support of the Government for the legislative changes necessary to solve a good part of the blockages that are today and, certainly, the technical solutions will follow," said Stoica.
