New border agreement with Romania allows one third of Moldovans to travel to parts of neighboring country without a visa

About 1.2 million Moldovans, which makes up for about one third of the population (without counting Transnistria), will be able to travel to certain parts of Romania after Prime Minister Vlad Filat and his Romanian counterpart Emil Boc signed a small-scale border trade and population flow border agreement on November 13, 2009.

The agreement will become effective 30 days after the two countries finalize their domestic procedural requirements for ratification. Mr. Filat expressed his hope that this would happen before the end of 2009.
