The mission will contribute to strengthening the resilience of Moldova's security sector in the field of crisis management and hybrid threats, including cyber security and countering foreign information manipulation and interference.

Until an Agreement with the EU on the status of the Mission is negotiated and signed, its employees, premises, assets and funds will benefit from the privileges and immunities applicable to diplomatic missions.
