The European Union and Moldova held their first joint summit in Chisinau, reaffirming Moldova’s EU path and accelerating its accession process.
For the first time, the EU and Moldova convened a joint summit in Chisinau on Friday, where top EU officials expressed full support for Moldova’s membership aspirations. Moldovan President Maia Sandu met with European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss integration steps.
Costa hailed Moldova’s progress as “remarkable” and underscored the EU’s commitment to support the country’s path forward. Von der Leyen announced €270 million under the Moldova Growth Plan and said the EU is ready to open all negotiation clusters, including the fundamentals cluster.
The leaders also outlined major economic steps, including Moldova’s integration into the Single Euro Payments Area by October and the end of roaming charges with EU countries.
Addressing security concerns, Sandu assured that Moldova is managing reintegration of the Transnistria region alongside its EU efforts. Moldova, which gained candidate status in June 2022, aims to become an EU member by 2030.
