The commission’s co-chairman on behalf of Moldova George Mocanu said the legal mechanism for disbursing the first tranche of the loan provided by the Government of Romania was already agreed. Moldova is to now present the steps taken to meet the imposed conditions. “We will also discuss the problem of expired Romanian passports whose holders were recently announced that they no longer have Romanian nationality because they obtained the Romanian birth certificate and passport based on the Romanian papers of parents when being minors.
