Romania appoints Ambassador to Chisinau after nearly a year without an embassy chief

Romanian President Traian Basescu signed a decree this weekend appointing Marius Lazurca as Bucharest's Ambassador to Chisinau. Mr. Lazurca went through legislative hearings early in February. He used to be Romania's chief of embassy at the Vatican.

After the anti-Communist protests in Chisinau in April, Communist authorities accused Bucharest of a coup and declared then-Romanian Ambassador Filip Teodorescu persona non grata in the country. Later, Chisinau refused to accept a proposal for an ambassador from Bucharest.

After the new ruling Alliance for European Integration came to power, ties between Chisinau and Bucharest improved visibly.
