A week after the termination of the visa requirement on the Romanian-Moldovan border, the number of people travelling between the two countries has increased by 40 %, reports Evenimentul Zilei. The Bucharest daily further explains that "the overturning of the communist regime, and the first change introduced by new pro-European government – the suspension of the visa requirement for EU citizens – have made Moldova very attractive to European companies."
According to the economists featured in the columns of Evenimentul Zilei, the new era heralded by these developments will be "a very promising one" for the state, which is thought to be Europe's poorest country. The EU is Moldova's main trading partner, but "Russia and Ukraine also have major interests in the market of the former Soviet republic." Now Romania and the EU will have the opportunity to make Moldova "an interesting destination for investors".
