The pro-Western government of Moldova unreasonably banned the entry of a number of Russian citizens, including public figures and journalists. Stated during a briefing in Moscow the official representative of the Russian foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, reports politnavigator.net “We point out another round of artificial obstacles put up by Moldovan authorities against Russian citizens visiting Moldova. And I am not talking just about government employees. For example, Director of the Russian Youth Resource Centre Alexei Lyubtsov was detained “for interview” at Chisinau Airport on May 15, and this after the Russian Embassy advised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova of his visit in a timely manner. Head of the Russian Civic Chamber committee Alexander Malkevich, journalist Darya Aslamova and other Russian citizens were denied entry to Moldova with no clear reason”, Zakharova said. She expressed concern about the actions of the Moldovan authorities. Naturally, this practice is unacceptable. Such actions do not encourage the constructive development of Russian-Moldovan relations, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson said. Point.md
