CHISINAU, May 8 – The European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced Friday that while no specific timeline has been established, the bloc is eager to accelerate formal membership negotiations with Moldova.
“We haven’t set that date, but it’s clear that we need to move fast,” Kallas stated during a joint news conference alongside Moldova’s President Maia Sandu. She emphasized that recent governmental transitions in various nations have created a favorable political climate.
“So that’s why I also think that we should move while nobody is against Moldova, because you never know when there comes a government that might have, you know, a bilateral issue,” Kallas explained.
The EU official praised Moldova’s advancement in implementing necessary reforms and assured that the separatist territory of Transdniestria “will not become an obstacle” to Moldova’s European integration goals.
President Sandu reaffirmed her nation’s commitment to finalizing the membership agreement by 2028.
