Moldova

Claudia Ciobanu gives in her post an inside view of life in Moldova.

She writes, that a Romanian journalist working in Moldova receives 100 Euro for daily expenses which equals the monthly salary of a Moldavian journalist.

An other important topic is the freedom of press or rather the restrictions of free press as well as the corruption and nepotism in the government of Moldova.

Claudia Ciobanu writes:

Still, in spite of these limitations and disappointments, Chisinau gives the impression of a very lively town. The center is full of posters for theatre and dance performances. Young people meet, chat and fill up the internet cafes in search of information. Many will go aboard, some will stay, few hope that life in their country will get better.
