Also, the Moldovan official added that Moldova benefited from the collaboration with NATO, both in the context of increasing military capabilities, but also in combating hybrid threats, cyber and crisis management. At the same time, our country has contributed to strengthening security in Europe by participating in the KFOR peacekeeping operation in Kosovo. The Republic of Moldova is not only a consumer of security but also contributes to regional security.
