Moldovan President says he speaks Romanian and not Moldovan

The newly elected President of Moldova Nicolae Timofti said on TV recently that he speaks Romanian and not Moldovan.

“I speak in Romanian. I am not a jurist and thus I call a spade a spade. The Constitution reads that national language is Moldovan. But the Academy of Science says that the language we speak is Romanian. The Constitution was adopted by certain politicians. No matter what we call it, we should speak it correctly,” Timofti said.

He stressed that the Moldova should focus on changes.
