MOLDOVA, UKRAINE, APPROVE ACCORD ON SWAPPING TERRITORIES
The parliaments of Moldova and Ukraine on 12 July approved the
agreement whereby Ukraine will gain sovereignty over a stretch of the
Izmail-Odessa highway previously on Moldovan territory in exchange
for Moldova's gaining access to a 430-meter stretch of land along the
banks of the Danube River near the village of Giurgiulesti, where it
intends to build an oil terminal, dpa reported. The villagers of
Palanca, whose pastures will be now transferred to Ukraine,
demonstrated in Chisinau against the agreement. The accord stipulates
that the villagers will be allowed access to the pastures without
using passports. The opposition Popular Party Christian Democratic
accused the ruling Party of Moldovan Communists of "selling off
national wealth" and "harming national interests." MS
