Moldova in EU ‘no longer a distant dream’ — Sandu

Saim Dušan Inayatullah

President Maia Sandu struck an optimistic note on Moldova’s bid for EU membership in remarks following the talks in Chisinau.

“For the first time, we are being seen as a natural part of the European family,” Sandu said.

She said that the talks show “that our country’s accession to the EU is already underway  — it’s no longer a distant dream or a vague promise.”

“Through this summit, the European Union is sending a clear message: Moldova matters,” she said.

Sandu said that Moldova’s accession had the full report of all of the bloc’s 27 member states.

She said that the EU would invest some €1.9 billion (around $2.24 billion) in Moldova in the coming years, including an initial tranche dedicated to repairing the country’s roads.

EU leaders set to back Moldova’s sovereignty at summit

EU leaders are expected to reiterate their unwavering commitment to Moldova’s sovereignty, security and resilience at the upcoming summit, in light of and Moscow’s continued hybrid attacks on Moldova.

They are also expected to condemn Russia’s hybrid threats and discuss ways to boost Moldova’s resilience against foreign interference, disinformation and electoral corruption.

Since the start of Russia’s invasion, the EU has supported with humanitarian aid, security and defense measures, border management, temporary trade liberalization and electricity grid synchronization.

At the summit, the EU will reaffirm its steadfast support for Moldova’s path toward EU membership. Moldova applied for membership in March 2022, gained candidate status in June 2022 and formally opened accession talks in June 2024.

EU seeks faces dilemma on Moldova-Ukraine integration

At the first-ever EU-Moldova summit in Chisinau, European officials face a dilemma — they want to reassure Moldova of the EU’s commitment to its future integration without raising Ukrainian fears of being left behind.

Accession talks are divided into six thematic clusters covering areas like fundamental rights, economic policy and foreign relations.

Moldova and neighboring Ukraine — which has been fighting a Russian invasion for more than three years — formally began membership talks last June but have yet to move to substantive negotiations on key policies.

The EU’s executive body and nearly all member states say Moldova and Ukraine have met the criteria, but Hungary has blocked Kyiv’s progress.

 has described Hungary’s beleaguered neighbor as a “buffer zone” between Russia and NATO and implied Budapest might block Kyiv’s efforts to join the EU.

Deputy Prime Minister Cristina, Moldova’s deputy prime minister for European integration, told the Reuters news agency in Brussels ahead of the summit that her country had faith that a solution would be found both for Moldova and for Ukraine to advance with accession talks in the “near future.”

“For Moldova, the timing is crucial. We have elections on September 28, parliamentary elections where disinformation unfortunately plays a big role, and most of this disinformation targets the EU,” she said.

EU membership has remained a major strategic goal for both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Moldovan President Maia Sandu as they work to break away from Russia’s influence and anchor their former Soviet republics in the West.
