For her part, Deputy Parliament Speaker Doina Gherman, said that, during the meeting, she had expressed gratitude for the unconditional support provided to Moldova by Romania.

"Today, in Bucharest, we had a very good meeting with Ilie Bolojan. I thanked him for the unconditional support.

We discussed solutions for simplifying procedures for obtaining Romanian citizenship, streamlining customs traffic and expanding opportunities for Bessarabian students," said Doina Gherman.

The officials also referred to the political context in both Moldova and Romania.

"We went through electoral processes with major challenges, foreign interference, and unprecedented attacks on national security. We have learned the lessons, we are more resilient and we will continue to work diligently for the European path of   Moldova," noted Doina Gherman.
