No protection fence will be set up in the Great National Assembly Square on the Independence Day marked on August 27, as earlier. About 800 police officers will be on guard in Chisinau’s central square, where most of the festivities will take place, Deputy Minister of the Interior Vasile Dragomir said in a meeting of the state commission for organizing the August 27 events, Info-Prim Neo reports. ”A human chain formed of employees of the Ministry of the Interior is much more democratic than a barbed wire fence,” said the deputy minister. The police officers will search the suspect persons with metal detectors. Two teams of the State Guard and Protection Service will also be on duty in the square. The sale of alcoholic drinks near the Great National Assembly Square will be banned.
