The same sources said that Basescu told the two officials that in such cases, the offended state has to respond in a similar manner.

However, Basescu asked Tariceanu and Cioroianu not to respond to Moldova’s gesture taking into consideration the special relationship between the two countries.

The Moldovan foreign ministry Wednesday declared two Romanian diplomats personae non-gratae, saying their activities were incompatible with their diplomatic positions.

The two Romanian officials returned Thursday in Romania.
