26/02/2018 (Agence Europe) – Please note that contrary to what was reported in EUROPE 11968, the Moldovan Foreign Minister is Tudor Ulianovschi and not Iurie Leancă, currently Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, who was Moldovan foreign minister from 2009 to 2013, and prime minister from 2013 to 2015. Apologies for this mistake. (CG)
