Romanian and Moldovan officials announced that negotiations for a small-scale border population flow agreement between the two countries have come to an end.
Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat said he would be willing to go to Romania as soon as possible to sign the agreement. Foreign Minister Iurie Leanca has already approved it on the Moldovan side.
One of the most important provisions in the new agreement is that about one million Moldovans from 11 raions that are near the Romanian border could travel to the neighboring country without a visa. Currently, Moldovan citizens need visas to visit any EU member.
The project of the agreement was proposed in 2007, but Communist authorities refused to sign it until Romania accepted to sign a baseline treaty and a border agreement with Moldova.
The Liberal Democratic Party, which Mr. Filat heads, was a relatively new party at the time, and made a name for itself by pushing for the signing of this agreement. Mr. Filat insisted on getting this measure approved as soon as he became P.M.
