Kalman Mizsei should be replaced, Romania Libera

The official Bucharest should discreetly suggest delegating an envoy to the Swedish presidency of the EU, who will replace the Communists’ supporter Kalman Mizsei, says the publication “Romania Libera” (“Free Romania”), quoted by Info-Prim Neo. “The EU Special Representative for Moldova Kalman Mizsei is unfortunately a sad and almost discredited figure. Mizsei is deeply mistrusted in Chisinau,” Cristian Ghinea says in the August 12 number of the paper. It is said that the EU representative for Moldova tried to convince the Opposition parties to offer the golden vote to a Communist candidate for presidency and that he had different discussions with the Opposition and the ruling party. “He counted on the fact that Voronin’s party will remain in power and banked on stability at any cost. He staked badly and should be therefore discharged,” the author of the article says. Mizsei has a powerful symbolical role, but a low influence on the EU’s projects in Moldova, he added. “If the talks between the four-party alliance (the Alliance for European Integration) and Voronin over the election of a new head of state do not open soon, there will be needed European mediation. As Mizsei is not credible for the Opposition, while a Romanian mediator will not have the necessary force and credibility for the Communists, the official Bucharest should tactfully suggest sending an envoy to the Swedish presidency of the EU,” Cristian Ghinea said. Ghinea considers that the signing of the basic treaty between Romania and Moldova will be a sign that the Romanians are interested in the stability of a democratic government in Chisinau more than in the sentimental-historical divergences. Romania’s president Traian Basescu believes yet that the signing of the given document would mean that he supported Molotov and Ribbentrop.
