Chisinau, 21 June /MOLDPRES/ - The Foreign and European Integration Ministry (MAEIE) today submitted a note verbale to the Embassy of Russia to Moldova, thereby demanding that the Russian authorities cease actions of illegal recruiting of citizens to the Armed Forces of Russia on the territory of Moldova, the MAEIE information and media communication service has reported.

Invoking, in this respect, the actions of recruiting, recently recorded in the settlement Ternovca, Slobozia district, as well as other similar earlier registered cases, the ministry reiterated the Moldovan authorities’ official attitude, according to which such actions run counter the legislation of Moldova, norms and principles of the international law, as well as the bilateral Moldovan-Russian agreements, in particular, the Treaty on friendship and cooperation between Moldova and Russia.
