Bulgarian President Georgi Purvanov vowed Bulgaria's support for Moldova's territorial integrity at a December 5 2008 meeting with Moldovan prime minister Zinaida Greceanii, the Presidency press office said on December 5 2008.

Purvanov hoped for a peace settlement of the Transnistrian conflict (also known as Trans-Dniester, Transdniestria, and Pridnestrovie a region between the borders of Moldova and Ukraine). In 1990 it declared independence from Moldova which has not been recognised by the international community.  

Purvanov expressed his support for Moldova's integration within the European Union, the statement said. Greceanii said that Moldova hoped to sign another agreement with the EU that would guarantee the country's EU prospects.

Purvanov praised Moldova's policy towards the Bulgarian minority living in the country and the support Moldova has given to the opening of a Bulgarian university in Moldova. 

The two sides signed agreements on co-operation in education and sciences as well as an agreement for social contribution of Bulgarian and Moldovan citizens.

Purvanov said that the level of economic co-operation was not enough at present and this obliged the two sides to change this.
