Ukraine "willing to" suspend new border-crossing rules asking Moldovans to carry 1,100 Euros to enter the neighboring country

Liberal Democratic Party head Vlad Filat told the press today that he met with Ukrainian Ambassador to Moldova Sergei Pirojkov, who expressed his country's willingness to suspend the new border-crossing rules until a new Moldovan Government takes office.

The neighboring country recently passed a law requiring Moldovan citizens to carry at least 1,100 Euros if they want to enter Ukraine, which would prove that they are able to survive for 30 days in the country.

Most Moldovans would have a very hard time coming up with this amount of money, particularly because Ukraine is a summer destination for tourists who are less wealthy than the ones going to Turkey, for example.
