One reason could be the shade that the tree would provide during hot summer time when the temperature reaches 40 degrees.
Moldova has a continental climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters, compared to the more moderate maritime climate typical of Western Europe. In Moldova, summer temperatures can often exceed 30°C (86°F), while winters can be harsh with temperatures often dropping below freezing.
It’s all changing a bit with climate change of course.. I belive there was less snow this winter.

That was a soviet era rule even in architecture and landscaping. All the administrative buildings looked the same in all soviet collonies and the coniferous and birch trees were planted despite that they don’t belong to this climate area. The occupants tried to bring even the trees from Russian lands. Everything resumes to politics.
So nothing has in common with our tastes or preferences in landscaping. They are other much more beautiful trees than coniferous trees. In my opinion it is just a lack of taste and professionalism in landscaping.

Actually this is dated back from the Soviet Union, all public instances have some sort of molid trees planted in front of them to remind people that Siberia is closer than they might think

These trees are green the year round.
Trees that lose their leaves are depressing.

Those are used for changing the batteries for the birds, and since the governments are doing this, you will find more such trees around official buildings. See /r/BirdsArentReal
