“Europe is Moldova,” I addressed the crowd of approximately 80,000 people in Chisinau back in May. Now, with this visit of the Moldovan Parliament to the European Parliament, the clear direction of our relationship and the growing bond between us is reinforced. Therefore, I reiterate the message that you are familiar with – Moldova is not alone, Moldova is Europe, and Europe is Moldova. This message is supported by a new package of support, which includes participation in several EU programs,” stated Roberta Metsola.
In turn, the President of the Moldovan Parliament, Igor Grosu, mentioned that the European Parliament was the first European institution to express confidence in the Republic of Moldova.
“The trust of the European Parliament is an incentive for Moldova, a country that became a candidate state for European integration a year ago. The EU urges Moldova to make efforts to fulfill all the conditions outlined in the European Commission’s Opinion, and we are working towards that, aiming to meet these recommendations without any delays,” emphasized Igor Grosu.
It should be noted that the Speaker of the Moldovan Parliament, Igor Grosu, conducted a working visit to Brussels from July 3 to July 5. The visit’s agenda included several meetings with European and NATO officials. Additionally, Grosu met with the Moldovan diaspora in the Kingdom of Belgium.
