Moldovan P.M. meets Vladimir Putin

Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat met with his Russian countepart Vladimir Putin in Yalta (Ukraine) today.

The officials talked about the Transnistrian conflict, bilateral economic ties, and the 150-million-dollar loan the Kremlin promised to Chisinau.

Initially, the loan was worth 500 million dollars, but the sum was reduced after the new ruling Alliance for European Integration came to power.

Mr. Filat said that he expects "pragmatism" in Russian-Moldovan ties.

Mr. Putin added that the domestic political conflict in Moldova should not affect "simple people who want to live their lives."

More details will be available after Mr. Filat returns to Chisinau.
