Romania Eyes Normal Bilateral Ties With A Democratic Moldova

Basescu also said Romania would definitely endorse the Republic of Moldova in its endeavors to join the European Union, adding he hopes Moldova will reach this goal.

"Romania will definitely support Moldova in its way toward the European Union, the very place where Romanians can actually embrace their own kind from across the Rivet Prut," Basescu said.

Asked by a Moldovan journalist to name Romania’s priorities in relation with a potentially democratic Moldova in the near future, Basescu said Romania strongly wishes to secure normal bilateral ties with Moldova.

"Romania can do for the Republic of Moldova a lot more than Poland did for Ukraine or Sweden did for the Baltic states. Romania’s top priority is to secure normal bilateral ties with neighboring states and this goal shall be achieved as soon as the new government (in the Republic of Moldova –e.n.) takes the helm," Basescu concluded.

Basescu attended Friday the opening of the Congress of Romanian Journalists Everywhere, held in southwestern town of Drobeta Turnu Severin. On August 8, Basescu will arrive in Kladovo, Serbia, to attend the second part of the congress.
