Moldova, Italy to Recognize Driver's Licences

The Cabinet of Ministers has adopted a decision to initiate the negotiation of an agreement with Italy on the mutual recognition of driving licences for conversion.

The agreement will allow holders of driving licences issued by the authority of one party, who establish residency in the other country, the right to convert their driving licences without taking theoretical and practical exams, with certain exceptions.

"Holders of driving licences will have the right to convert their driving licences only if they have been resident in the other country for at least six years at the time of submitting their conversion application. This opportunity will benefit approximately 300 thousand citizens of the Republic of Moldova living in Italy, including those who are naturalised or have dual citizenship," said Interior Minister Adrian Efros at the Government meeting.

Igor Grosu, about the new Russian ambassador in Chisinau: "Let's see if he promotes friendship between countries"

The Chisinau authorities have no reason not to accredit the new ambassador of the Russian Federation in Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, the Parliament Speaker, Igor Grosu, told TV8. According to the official, the rejection of Ozerov's candidacy would serve as a basis for Moscow to victimize itself and accuse Chisinau of acting against the Russian Federation. The clarifications were made in the context in which Oleg Ozerov made controversial statements during his career and allegedly had links with the Wagner paramilitary group.
