September 10, 2025, Chișinău – The Executive has given the green light to the creation of the National Crisis Management Center, an institution designed to ensure unified coordination of prevention and response measures for exceptional situations such as earthquakes, floods, epidemics, or cyber incidents. This way, citizens can count on a more prompt and coherent state response in times of maximum difficulty.

The new structure's activity will focus on four fundamental pillars: risk prevention, intervention capacity preparation, crisis situation management, and post-crisis recovery. Round-the-clock operation and close inter-institutional collaboration will guarantee population protection and judicious allocation of public resources. In critical situations, the National Crisis Response Platform will be activated, bringing together all authorities with responsibilities in the field.

"The intensification of extreme weather phenomena forces us to strengthen our response capabilities and maintain permanent surveillance over potential threats," declared Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

The Center will be responsible for developing the National Crisis Management Plan, will centralize data provided by relevant institutions, and will ensure prompt public information. It will also develop partnerships with similar organizations from other countries for expertise transfer and mutual assistance.

From an organizational standpoint, the National Crisis Management Center operates as a central administrative authority, directly subordinate to the Government, and is led by a Director General appointed at the proposal of the Head of the Executive.

The Executive has appointed Serghei Diaconu as Director General of the National Crisis Management Center. The five-year mandate takes effect starting October 21.

Prior to his appointment, Serghei Diaconu served as Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova. He also holds the position of Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from which he has been suspended.

The National Crisis Management Center, an institution recently approved by the Government, has the mission of coordinating national efforts for prevention and response to emergency situations. Through this structure, authorities will be able to provide citizens with more efficient and better-coordinated support in the event of critical situations such as earthquakes, floods, health crises, or cyberattacks.
