Last week, a document presented as a potential reintegration plan for the Republic of Moldova appeared on social media. Journalist Vladimir Soloviov published the alleged plans of the authorities while Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Valeriu Chiveri was on an official visit to Brussels.
The document, drafted in English, spans 14 pages and outlines an action plan for 2026, including 25 measures and objectives across sectors such as the economy, political dialogue, mobility, and the prevention of destabilization, escalation, and disinformation.
After returning to Chisinau, Valeriu Chiveri confirmed the authenticity of the document but clarified that it is a “no paper.” He explained that this draft serves as a starting point for discussions with development partners who can support the reintegration process.
Valeriu Chiveri said, “We use this document as a consultation tool for external partners, a draft of ideas and possible directions. As a preliminary reflection document, it does not involve public consultations. We carried out consultations with a selected group of national and international experts, and their opinions helped shape the ideas presented.
I know how we conceived and developed it, and I can say with certainty that we did not act hastily or under pressure. (…) Reintegration is a complex and long term process, and we develop comprehensive strategies in several stages, in separate pillars. In other words, we apply a modular approach.”
In this context, Valeriu Chiveri emphasized that the Republic of Moldova bears responsibility for its reintegration process and that dialogue with European Union member states does not transfer this responsibility to the EU.
