Moldova Says Will Lift Visas For Romanian When EU Lifts Visas For Moldovans

Asked by reporters when Moldova would lift visas for Romanian citizens, Voronin said “visas for Romanians will be lifted when the EU lifts visas for the citizens of my country".

He also said relations with Romania should be good and amicable, as with all other neighboring countries, adding the Moldovan side has always worked towards such relations. "It very much depends on Romania, which should not put forth nationalism and ideas of unification,” Voronin said.

Moldova introduced visas for Romanians following violent street protests after a parliamentary election in April and expelled Romania’s ambassador to Chisinau.
