"Some of them are related to missile defense and air defense systems, which are natural. It's obviously also related to countering hybrid warfare, a very important resilience component. Our experts were in Chisinau in January and are, I believe, ready with a report that will be submitted to Chisinau and that could also be a subject of joint NATO-EU-Republic of Moldova collaboration in the future", said Mircea Geoană.

Last week, during the NATO Defence Ministers' Meeting in Brussels, Defence Minister Anatolie Nosatyi told Radio Moldova that our country is acquiring an airspace monitoring system, and the National Army soldiers will start training soon. At the end of April, the European Union's Foreign Affairs Council approved a new assistance package for the National Army to strengthen Moldova's defence capabilities.
