CHISINAU (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 14th February, 2020) Moldovan President Igor Dodon said on Friday that he was planning to discuss with Moscow the possibility of once again granting amnesty to Moldovans violating Russian migration law.
"I have received many requests from citizens for new migration amnesty, I will try to come to an agreement with Russia again this year, most likely in the second half of the year," Dodon said in a video address that he published on Facebook.
