After almost a year Chisinau received approval for the appointment of the Romanian party Iurie Renita as ambassador of the Republic of Moldova in Bucharest, said sources from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration. The nomination was all the more expected, as the new ambassador of Romania Chisinau, Marius Lazurca, has already presented his credentials. Filling the two posts of ambassador to Chisinau and Bucharest respectively, is considered a key step for strengthening bilateral relations, which began a gradual relief after coming to power in the neighboring country of AEI.
