Romania To Continue To Support Republic Of Moldova In 2011 - President

The head of state highlighted that, by tradition and identity, the Republic of Moldova belongs to the European family. He said Romania's relations with its neighbor were strengthened in 2010.

"We accomplished our commitment to implement the small-scale border traffic Agreement. We signed a state border Treaty. We inaugurated general consulates in Cahul and Balti, and the Republic of Moldova opened a general consulate in Iasi. We strongly supported the steps taken by authorities in Chisinau regarding the country's European perspectives and our trust was confirmed by the very good results the country obtained towards its EU accession (…)," said Basescu.

The president stressed that Romania will take a firm stand so that the Republic of Moldova be included in the group of Balkan countries within the EU accession process.

"By tradition and identity, the Republic of Moldova belongs to the European family and offering it a clear accession perspective will strengthen its efforts towards democracy and will contribute to its political and economic stability to become a credible EU partner," said Basescu.
