Belgrade protests over Bregovic's denied entry to Moldova
Foreign Minister Dacic demands explanation from Chisinau

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 20 AGO - Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica
Dacic has asked the Moldovan Foreign Ministry to clarify the
reason for Chisinau authorities' refusal today to allow Goran
Bregovic, who was scheduled to perform with his band tonight at
the local Guitar Musiv Festival, to enter Moldova. Quoted by
media in Belgrade, Dacic stigmatized this restrictive decision,
which, he noted, is not in line with the traditionally friendly
relations between Serbia and Moldova. It is a decision, he
added, that has provoked extremely negative reactions in Serbia.
Bregovic, the foreign minister said, has performed and given
concerts all over the world, and in no country has he ever had
such problems. Goran Bregovic was refused entry to Moldova after
the well-known musician arrived by plane at Chisinau airport. No
reasons were given for the decision. (ANSA).
