In 1920 the directorates were transformed into general secretariats of Bessarabia, which, depending on necessity, functioned till March 1921. After that they were again reorganized into directorates. The basic functions of the directorates were to oversee the activity of the local public administration structures, institutions and organizations in the region. The directorates were abolished in 1923.
