The European Parliament has reiterated its support for Moldova’s EU accession. In a resolution passed on Wednesday, MEPs say Moldova joining the European bloc would represent a geostrategic investment in a united and strong Europe. Negotiation talks should start by the end of 2023, MEPs say, once Moldova has complied with the new stages identified by the Commission. The EU should continue to help this country achieve energy independence, the resolution also states. According to the document, Moldova remains vulnerable to Russian pressure and energy blackmail, to economic difficulties caused by the war in neighboring Ukraine, as well as to the Kremlin’s attempts at destabilizing the pro-European administration in this country.
