The lowering of roaming charges is considered an important step in Moldova’s European integration process, marking the country’s move closer to European standards. Dumitru Alaiba stresses that this initiative encourages connectivity between the diaspora and their families, supports business development for investors, and facilitates the exploration of new tourist destinations in Europe.
The initiative follows an agreement signed between operators in the Republic of Moldova and the European Union, with the support of the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC), the European Commission, and the Moldovan authorities. This agreement based on a voluntary commitment, follows the signing of a Joint Declaration in May to offer progressively more affordable roaming tariffs for travel between the EU and the Republic of Moldova.
