Moldova sees rising interest in Poland

Sławek Szefs reports that saving traces of Polish history is only one aspect of this country’s ties with Moldova, as interest in present-day relations is also quite high.

Artur Michalski, Poland's ambassador to Chisinau, says the only problem with this rise in popularity of things Polish is a lack of sufficiently qualified teachers, including at Moldovan academic centres.

From the umpteen students leaving annually to study in Poland, only a small handful return to their homeland.

However, regardless of the course of events, both situations have their positive aspects.

“From the point of Polish interests, it doesn't matter whether such a person stays in Poland or returns to Moldova and becomes an excellent ambassador of Polish culture here,” ambassador Michalski told Polish Radio.
