Bucharest, April 7 /Agerpres/ - The Romanian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (MAE) backs the stand of the European Union
voiced by the EU High Representative for Common Foreign and
Security Policy Javier Solana relating the developments in
Chisinau.
MAE
calls on all the sides involved in the actions in the
Republic of Moldova not to respond to violence and
provocations, the ministry said in a press release on
Tuesday.
MAE
draws attention that the violence against the state
institutions cannot be condoned and underscores it is very
important to respect the inalienable rights to the citizens'
free meeting and to peaceful protests. The ministry also
points out that the respect for the principle of the state
of law is equally important, at the same time with the
respect of the human rights.
The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced earlier that it is
closely watching with concern the situation in the Republic
of Moldova, after the developments in Chisinau.
In a
press release MAE voiced concern about the information also
carried by the news media relating the perpetration of
violent acts, the public's lack of access to information by
the news media channels, the Romanian citizens being
prevented from entering the Republic of Moldova and other
developments.
The
ministry will reject any provocative attitude against
Romania expressed amid such circumstances and it will voice
an official viewpoint of the situation in the Republic of
Moldova after having made a complete analysis of such
developments, the release said.
