Romanian ambassador to Moldova is a an ex-ambassador to Vatican
Moldova accepts new Romanian Ambassador after Communists expelled one and rejected the other in April. Interim President and Speaker Mihai Ghimpu accepted Romania's new Ambassador to Moldova on Friday. Marius Lazurca was previously Romanian Ambassador to the Vatican.
He holds a Ph.D. in history and anthropology from the Sorbonne. Mr. Lazurca has previously taught at the West University in Timisoara and the Aurel Vlaicu University in Arad. He speaks English, French, Italian, and Latin.
After the Parliamentary and Presidential buildings were vandalized on April 7 in Chisinau, Communist authorities accused Romania of trying to stage a coup in Chisinau by supporting anti-Communist protesters. Then-Ambassador Filip Teodorescu was swiftly expelled from the country. Later, Communist authorities refused to accept Bucharest's new appointee, Mihnea Constantinescu.
The new ruling Alliance for European Integration has friendlier ties with Romania. Romanian President Traian Basescu is due to make his first official visit after his re-election to Chisinau at the end of January.
