Romanian lower house approves Moldova unification bill without vote

Romania's Chamber of Deputies has approved a legislative document on unification with Moldova without a vote.

Report's Eastern Europe bureau informs that the legislative initiative, submitted to the lower house of parliament by MPs from the far-right S.O.S. Romania party, was deemed automatically approved after 45 days because parliament did not begin debate or hold a final vote.

The draft on unification with Moldova has now been submitted to the Senate.
