The owner who leased out his apartment to a female employee of the Embassy of Romania in Moldova and where a fire occurred this April said that they could not reach a consensus with the lessee or with the Embassy of Romania, which signed the lease. In this connection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration (MFAEI) is asked to intervene.

In a news conference hosted by IPN, the owner of the apartment Corneliu Celnakov, the injured party, said the fire in the apartment located at 41/1 Mihai Eminescu St occurred on April 1 this year. Firefighters determined that the fire happened in the sleeping room owing to a laptop left on the bed. A number of out-of-court examinations were carried out so as to hasten the procedures. The damage was assessed at €800,000-900,000. The apartment was 98% destroyed. The stair was also damaged and eight neighbors were affected. The glass windows in the apartments of some of these broke.

Under the contract, the conflict was to be mediated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, but nothing was done.

Lawyer Andrei Matsko noted the lease signed by Chelnakov family and the Embassy of Romania says that if disputes or misunderstandings appear, these should be solved by amicable ways through the agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration. This way, approaches were made to the Embassy and the MFAEI, but these have been neglected.

According to the lawyer, the police were notified of the fire and legal action was taken. A technical judicial examination was ordered. “Specialists established that the fire that damaged 98% of the apartment occurred through the blame of the lessee or the person who lived there as this left the laptop connected to the power supply,” stated Andrei Matsko.

Commemorative plaque dedicated to the victims of the Roma Holocaust, unveiled at Visterniceni Station in Chisinau

by Iana Josu 03.08.2026

A commemorative plaque dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust against the Roma during the Second World War was unveiled on the territory of the Visterniceni Station in the city of Chisinau. The unveiling ceremony also included the laying of flowers in memory of the victims, in the context of the European Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Roma Holocaust, reports IPN.

The initiators of the project specified that the commemorative plaque is made in five languages – Romanian, Romani, Russian, English, and German – and represents a first step towards the arrangement of a memorial complex dedicated to the victims of the Roma Holocaust. They mentioned that, before the inauguration, symbolic elements placed near the plaque were vandalized and expressed their hope that the commemorative plaque will be respected and preserved.

According to the data presented at the event, between September 12 and 16, 1942, from Visterniceni Station, thousands of Roma, mostly women and children, were loaded into freight wagons and deported to camps in the Transnistrian region. During the period 1942-1944, approximately 25 thousand Roma were deported, and about 11 thousand died due to hunger, cold, diseases, and lack of medical assistance.

On the same day, the round table “The Memory of the Roma Holocaust – lessons for the present and future” took place, during which actions to promote the memory of the Roma Holocaust and combat discrimination were presented. Participants highlighted the role of education in preventing hate speech and intolerance.

The State Secretary of the Ministry of Education and Research, Valentina Olaru, stated that the new action plan for the years 2027-2030 will include measures to combat racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Roma discrimination, xenophobia, and other forms of intolerance. According to her, the explicit inclusion of the term “anti-Roma discrimination” reaffirms the state’s commitment to prevent discrimination and promote education based on respect for human rights.
