On June 1, the Republic of Moldova (an ex-Soviet state with a majority Romanian-speaking population) was the host of the second summit of the European Political Community.
The meeting was attended by 48 heads of state and government, who discussed security and peace, the development of economic and social infrastructure in Europe and resilience in the face of the threats caused by the war in Ukraine. At the same time, the European officials reiterated their support for the Republic of Moldova in order to achieve the commitments assumed as a candidate state for EU accession.
The European Political Community is a new political coordination platform, which aims to promote political dialogue and cooperation to address issues of common interest and to strengthen the security, stability and prosperity of the European continent.
The idea of the initiative of a European political community belongs to the French President Emmanuel Macron, who, on May 9, 2022, presented this project to the European Parliament, in Strasbourg, in full debates on the launch of Ukraine’s accession process. Five months later, the first summit of the European Political Community took place in Prague.
