Premier and Foreign Affairs Minister to head to Brussels on Tuesday, will ask for replacement of Russian peacekeepers in Transnistria

Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat and Foreign Affairs Minister Iurie Leanca will head to Brussels on Tuesday to talk with European Union officials about deepening ties.

The Moldovan officials said they will inquire into the possibility of replacing Russian peacekeeping troops in the breakaway republic of Transnistria in Eastern Moldova with an international mission with E.U. participation.

Mr. Filat and Mr. Leanca also noted that they will ask the European Union to lay out a clear path to Moldova's European integration and for a clause in the new E.U.-Moldova agreement that lists the country's eligibility to join the E.U.

The ruling Alliance for European Integration's main goal is to join the European Union.
