Marius Lazurca: Retransmission of TVR 1 is a gesture of normality

Romanian Ambassador in Chisinau Marius Lazurca welcomed the decision to retransmit TVR 1 in Moldova, describing it as a gesture of normality and an answer to the general expectation of the Moldovan people, Info-Prim Neo reports, quoting www.allmoldova.com ”The return of the Romanian public TV channel to Moldova represents another contribution to the diversification of the media area. I think this contribution will be significant so that the general public, regardless of their preferences, will benefit from a wide range of information, access to culture and the market of ideas,” said the ambassador. Marius Lazurca also said that the proposal to retransmit TVR 1 in Moldova was raised in a discussion with Vlad Plahotniuc, who owns the channel 2 Plus through which the Romanian channel will be broadcast in Moldova. He said the discussion was open and efficient as an agreement was reached soon. The Romanian official assured that the case of TVR 1 vs Moldova that is to be examined by the European Court of Human Rights now is not so important as the Romanian television will be again in Moldova and the conflict will be probably solved amicably. On November 10, the Broadcasting Coordination Council unanimously voted in favor of retransmitting TVR 1 in Moldova through the state-owned network No. 2 that has national coverage and is now used by Telefe M International.
