The Vienna-based South East Europe Media Organization (SEEMO), a network of editors, media executives and leading journalists from South East Europe and an affiliate of the International Press Institute (IPI), addressed a letter to Prime Minister Zinaida Greceanyi, expressing its concern about the ongoing delay in issuing accreditation to a Romanian correspondent in Moldova. <\/p>\n

On July 23, Lina Grau, correspondent for the Romanian news agency NewsIn, was denied access to a presidential press conference in Chisinau based on her lack of accreditation. Grau, who holds both Moldovan and Romanian citizenship, applied for accreditation as a journalist on 14 April, presenting both Moldovan and Romanian identification documents when doing so. Over three months later, she has not yet received any response. <\/p>\n

According to official documents, accreditation decisions ?will be taken within 30 days from the date of presentation of papers and will be finalized by issuing an accreditation card?. Grau has been working as a journalist in Moldova for ten years, and stated that she has never experienced any problems in the past. <\/p>\n

SEEMO urges the Premier to do everything in her power to insure that this issue is quickly resolved, especially given that several other journalists have in the past been denied accreditation in Moldova without reason. SEEMO emphasizes that administrative requirements should never serve to hamper the free flow of news, and must always be dealt with in a transparent manner. <\/p>\n
