Chisinau, 10 January /MOLDPRES/ - Parliament Speaker Zinaida Greceanii, in an interview, has said that the status of associate country with the European Union, held by Moldova, did not represent an obstacle to the cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union.

„After getting the status of observer within the Eurasian Economic Union in 2017, the Moldovan state became a more active participant in all events of this structure and this does not run counter the status of associate country with the European Union, held by Moldova,” the parliament speaker said.

According to Greceanii, the Moldovan state is willing to deepen the cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union and to develop the multi-vector economic policies. “Moldova has the advantage that it is member of two free trade areas – European Union and Commonwealth of Independent States,” Zinaida Greceanii added.

The Moldovan parliament speaker gave the concerned interview with the Eurasia Expert publication in early January 2020.
