Moldova, the Romanian region (not the Republic), isn't poor, or at least not all of it. We've got Iași there, one of our biggest cities and an important economic center, home to thriving software companies actually, because we've got an old and reputable computer science university there. Next to Iași's district is Suceava, another important district. EU may not be interested in this region, however crippling this region due to a lack of infrastructure projects is going to cripple Romania. Of course, the EU isn't to blame for us not being able to build one freaking highway that connects Bucharest and Iași, just saying that it's very shortsighted to dismiss infrastructure projects based on proximity with the former USSR.
