EU delegation led by Marta Kos visits Chișinău for Europe Day celebrations
The European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, will visit the Republic of Moldova from May 8 to May 12, 2025. She will be accompanied by a delegation that includes Members of the European Parliament Siegfried Mureșan and Daniel Barna, along with officials from the European Commission. This visit is particularly significant as it coincides with Europe Day and reaffirms the European Union's commitment to supporting Moldova's European integration.
Marta Kos will participate in the ceremony dedicated to Victory Day over Fascism on May 9 at the “Eternitate” Memorial Complex in Chisinau. She will be joined by President Maia Sandu, Prime Minister Dorin Recean, and Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu. Following the ceremony, they will sign the Growth Plan for Moldova. The European Commissioner will also take part in a concert honoring Europe Day and engage in discussions with representatives of civil society, entrepreneurs, and citizens at the Great National Assembly Square.
During her visit, Marta Kos will tour several regions of the country. In Ungheni, she will attend the inauguration of the “European Village,” an event showcasing European projects that provide tangible benefits to local communities. She will also meet with local producers and agri-food entrepreneurs in Rădenii Vechi.
From May 10 to 11, her visits will continue in Orhei, Negureni, Edineț, Bălți, Comrat, Cahul, and Văleni, where Marta Kos will interact with young people, teachers, local authorities, and entrepreneurs. According to government sources, several projects supported by the European Union will be inaugurated, including educational centers, markets for local producers and agri-food hubs, and tourism initiatives recognized by the UN.
In light of this visit, access restrictions will be implemented on May 8 and 9 in certain public areas of Chișinău, particularly in the city center and on the roads leading to Chișinău International Airport. According to Chișinău City Hall, the police are enforcing these measures for security reasons.
The restrictions will affect the holding of public events and ongoing infrastructure repair or maintenance work, but they will not apply to previously authorized social-cultural events.
