On July 10, 2025, the Moldovan Parliament approved, in the second reading, a draft law exempting from customs duties used passenger buses intended for replenishing public transport in Balti. Previously, these buses operated in Resita (Caras-Severin county in western Romania), but the municipal authorities of the Romanian twin city decided to donate them to Balti.

The municipality of Balti may receive 10 second-hand Volvo low-floor buses in working condition from the Romanian twin city of Resita (administrative center of Caras-Severin). Thus, the “northern capital” will get its own municipal buses, which the local authorities have been unsuccessfully seeking for the last few years.
