Two diplomats within the [[Romania]]n Embassy to [[Moldova]] have been declared [[w:persona non grata|personae non gratae]] due to the incompatibility between their activity and the diplomatic status they are holding.

In line with a press statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration (MFAEI), on Wednesday, December 12, Romanian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Moldova Filip Teodorescu was invited to the MFAEI.

“I expected many of the problems in our relations to disappear after Romania joined the EU,” said [[w:Vladimir Voronin|Vladimir Voronin]] President of Moldova, “but relations between Moldova and Romania have not changed. All those statements are so stupid they don't deserve criticism. Let Europe judge us.”
