RETROSPECTIVE // 35 years after declaring sovereignty, Moldova gets green light to open EU negotiation clusters
This week is crucial for the European future of the Republic of Moldova. The leaders of the European Union announced their support for opening negotiation chapters with our country, which is the most advanced among the Eastern Partnership nations. Both the EU and NATO reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the resilience of the Republic of Moldova, particularly in light of the upcoming parliamentary elections this fall. Meanwhile, the Russian Federation has been detaining citizens of the Republic of Moldova and is reportedly considering sending law enforcement officers disguised as "athletes" to Chisinau.
