According to representatives of the Romanian Border Police, 280 Romanians, Moldovans and Bulgarians went through Romanian border crossing points in the last 24 hours but were sent back by Moldovan customs officers.

Of the nearly 300 citizens, over 20 were journalists heading for the Moldovan capital Chisinau and were denied access into Moldova because, customs officers said, they didn’t have permanent accreditations, medical insurance or invitations.

Moldovan customs officers also cited technical problems with control equipment and closed several border crossing points.
