Former journalist Natalia Morari has been banned from entering the Schengen area until 2030, confirmed by Romanian authorities at the Albița border crossing.

Natalia Morari, a former journalist from the Republic of Moldova, received an official document confirming the ban on entering and staying in the Schengen area until 2030. The ban was issued by the General Inspectorate of the Border Police of Romania, citing national security reasons. Morari attempted to verify this ban at the Leușeni-Albița border crossing, where she was subjected to additional checks and was denied entry into Romania.

In July 2025, Morari and other personalities from the Republic of Moldova were included on the list of those banned in Romania, a measure justified by the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Morari announced that she would contest the decision in court, believing that the ban could be related to a recent interview. She also had a notable journalistic career, hosting shows on various television stations and making an attempt to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential elections.
