The decision to ban the mayor of Chisinau and two other citizens of the Republic of Moldova from entering Romania, respectively the Schengen Area, was taken by the authorities in our country "for reasons related to national security", said, on Tuesday, in Chisinau, the minister of foreign affairs, Oana Toiu.
"Romania has ordered the measure of non-permission on its territory for three people, citizens of the Republic of Moldova. This decision, once taken by Romania, for reasons related to national security, applies to the entire Schengen Area, based on the regulations we have now. As for the details related to the justification of this decision, for us national security prevails and it is up to the institutions dealing with national security to provide additional details when and if they deem it necessary. At this stage, this is not the case," explained the head of Romanian diplomacy.
She held a press conference alongside her counterpart from Chisinau, Mihai Popsoi.
