"We decided to give Moldova humanitarian help, a non-refundable grant, in support of people living there. After all, those who need urgent help are the citizens from Moldova who have complicated situations. We thought of the humanitarian aid in this way. This help comes to fill in some measures till we get to an agreement for a refundable loan."

8. SOUNDBITE (Romanian) Nicolae Timofti, President of Moldova:
"The mistakes we all know, the ones everybody's talking about, the vanishing of a large amount of money from Moldovan banks (the disappearance of more than one billion US dollars from three Moldovan banks), tells us the fact that there are many things that have gone wrong in the financial and banking system. We're having serious talks now and we had consultations with the IMF (International Monetary Fund), EU countries, our partners and friends and we'll find ways to get out of this uneasy situation. But I'm sure that we have no other way for development in Moldova but the way of European integration."

STORYLINE:
Moldovan President Nicolae Timofti met his Romanian counterpart Klaus Iohannis on Wednesday to discuss reforms Chisinau needs to implement to access a 65 million dollar US loan promised by Bucharest.
The loan has been offered on the condition that Moldova stays on a pro-European course.
At a joint news conference with Iohannis in Bucharest, Timofti spoke about the vanishing of money from Moldova's banking system and the need for further European integration.
Moldova has been hit by months of protests following the disappearance of more than one billion US dollars from three Moldovan banks prior to November 2014 Parliamentary elections.
Romania is Moldova's closest ally.
