Romanian P.M.: Ratification of small border traffic treaty with Moldova a priority for Romanian legislators

Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc asked the ruling Democratic Liberal Party to ratify a fiscal responsibility law, a law on local administration reform, and a law on a small-scale border trade and population flow agreement with Chisinau.

Mr. Boc said that he spoke with his Moldovan counterpart Vlad Filat on Monday and assured him that the treaty would be ratified.

The agreement allows Moldovans living around the Romanian border to travel to within 50 kilometers on Romanian territory without a visa. Moldovans currently need visas to visit the neighboring country.

The move indicates an improvement of ties between the two countries after the Communists often had very tense relations with Romania during their time in office (2001-2009).
