The Moldovan-Ukrainian agreement under which Moldova ceded a section of the Odessa-Reni highway at Palanca was ratified 10 years ago and the current administration had to deal with the technical details only, Head of Parliament and Acting President of Moldova Marian Lupu told the reporters on July 2, Info-Prim Neo reports. Asked if he will leave for Palanca to meet the villagers who are concerned that they will no more have access to their plots of land situated beyond the highway, Marian Lupu said he will go if need be. Moldova and Ukraine signed the State Border Treaty in 1999. In 2001, the Parliament of Moldova ratified the Additional Protocol to the Treaty, under which 7.7 kilometers of the Odessa-Reni highway at Palanca was transferred to Ukraine. Instead, Moldova received 450 meters of Ukrainian territory allowing access to the Danube, on which there was built the Giurgiulesti Port. On June 30, Ukraine and Moldova started to set up frontier signs along the border near Palanca. The villagers are dissatisfied that the authorities did not keep their promise to build a special road for them to get to their farmland.
