Statements:

Sergiu Mircea, executive manager marketing and communication, Banca Transilvania:

'We are delighted to launch our first program together with Fundatia Comunitara Bucuresti, and we are looking forward to seeing the applications. The NGOs, volunteers and entrepreneurs make a major contribution to the development of the community - whether it is the street, neighborhood, city or country we live on. We need to build this community environment, which increases the solidarity between people. Common values hold us together and define us as a community. It is a start-up project, which we hope will help us define common values in the Bucharest neighborhoods'.

Alina Kasprovschi, executive manager, Bucharest Community Foundation:

'In good or bad times, the local community, the neighbors in the neighborhood can be the ones who move things forward. We focus on neighborhoods because one of the strategic directions for the foundation's involvement is to increase the feeling of belonging to the local community. We are very pleased to join forces with Banca Transilvania and launch together the Inclusiv in Cartier program, through which we are searching projects of people with the initiative right from the Bucharest neighborhoods '.
