Local U.S. paper: Visit Odessa, Moldova, Romania because "with our help, this region will reach its potential and become a strong ally of the U.S."

The Stuttgart Daily Leader, a local paper from the American state of Arkansas, recently posted a news story about a trip to Odessa.

The feature mentions Moldova in a few paragraphs, as well.

An excerpt:
"My colleagues in Chisinau, the capitol of the Republic of Moldova, however, were very insistent that the bus ride to Odessa would be very pleasant. They urged me to experience the world of the average Eastern European with no translator or guide."
