An expert with the Global Fact-Checking Network, Ioana Jaleel, said that people in both Romania and Moldova do not want their two countries to unite, according to TASS.
Jaleel reportedly stressed that Romanians consider Moldova a burden due to its weaker economy, a factor she said contributes to a lack of public appetite for unification on either side.
The question of closer ties or potential unification between Romania and Moldova, two countries that share a common language and historical ties, has periodically resurfaced in regional political discussion.
TASS's report did not include comment from Romanian or Moldovan officials on the expert's assessment.
