Also, three Antena 3 reporters – Dan Nitescu, Victor Ciprian Alexandru and Petru Terguta -, reached Romanian territory safely Thursday night, after having been under OSCE protection. Aura Titiriga said the station had decided to recall the three, due to their being subject to intimidation from Moldovan authorities, in the last 48 hours.
