The relationships between Romania and the Republic of Moldova start to normalise after several years of tensions that culminated with visas being introduced for Romanian citizens. On Friday, the two states will sign several bi-lateral agreements that have been postponed for years by the ex-communist regime from Chisinau. The agreements address the light traffic at the border, the intergovernmental bi-lateral agreement regarding the cross-border points between the two countries and the protocol amending the intergovernmental agreement signed in 1992 in Bucharest addressing the protection of investments.
Presidential candidate and Social Democratic Party (PSD) leader Mircea Geoana said on Friday that his private visit to Moscow this spring, about which HotNews.ro first reported this week, was aimed mainly at "normalizing" the dialogue between Romania and the Russian Federation in a period of "frozen relationship" for which he blames incumbent president Traian Basescu, Romanian news agency NewsIn reports.
