Moldovan MFA warns Romania to display 'prudence and vigilance'

The Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration sent a verbal note to the Romanian MFA requesting “increased prudence and vigilance concerning the public statements that the Romanian officials and representatives of the Romanian minority in the Republic of Moldova could make in the following days”. “The authorities of the Republic of Moldova possess information on potential attempts of provocation that could take place in the following days, which originate from public statements that tend to use insinuations concerning the statehood, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, aiming at tensing up the Moldo-Romanian relationship”, the Moldovan MFA said in a communique. The document, however, doesn't specify the nature of the provocations and who might be their author. The Moldovan MFA further urges its Romanian counterparts as well as the Romanian Embassy in Moldova to ensure respect for the European standards and rules and to encourage the use of a diplomatic language that would not leave any room for false interpretation based on certain statements which could affect the Moldo-Romanian relationship and dialogue. Sources within the Moldovan Ministry told Info-Prim Neo that no response from the Romanian authorities has been received so far.
