Moldova Is Opening to Americans & Western Europeans
Finally, the Moldovan Government is doing something smart: cancelling the visa requirement for citizens of EU, Switzerland, USA, Canada and Japan (Moldova Azi http://www.azi.md/news?ID=39391) As of January 2007, visitors from these countries will not need a visa to enter Moldova. This is good news for the stagnating tourism industry, as well as for the Moldovan economy in general. I keep my fingures crossed that this piece of legislation is voted by the Parliament.
Comments:
As I realized later on, Moldovan government is using this law to persuade the European Union to ease Moldovans' access into the EU. It is a pretty smart and proactive initiative. Hopefully the EU officials will allow themselves to be persuaded.
