Palanca inhabitants told the premier that Ukrainian border guards do not allow them to circulate and reach own fields and signalled problems they face with trade facilities located along the route, as their operation is almost blocked by border guards and their restrictions. Premier Filat noted that this problem is important both for Palanca and for all country and requires a many-sided approach. At the same time, the Agreement on the delimitation of the Moldovan-Ukrainian border is to be executed because this is an effective international document.
