Bucharest has appointed Gentiana Serbu as Romania's consul in Cahul (a city in Southern Moldova) and Dumitru-Nicanor Teculescu as Romania's consul in Balti (a city in Northern Moldova).
Previously, Moldovan and Romanian authorities signed an agreement about the opening of two more consulates in Moldova. A Romanian Government spokesperson said that the consulates would open in January 2010 at the latest.
The only consulate office thus far - the one in Chisinau - has become rather notorious for its long lines.
Authorities hope that the addition of the two new centers, where Moldovans will be able to get visas for Romania, will reduce lines and help non-Chisinau residents reduce travel costs since they had to travel to the capital in the past.
The Communist authorities refused to allow Bucharest to open the consulates and have often had tense relationships with the neighboring country. The new ruling Alliance for European Integration has said it intends to mend ties with Romania.
