“Such summits are organized between the EU and candidate countries. The Republic of Moldova is a candidate country. It is the first summit, and every year, these discussions will follow. We will discuss at which stage we are in the EU accession process, to what extent the Republic of Moldova is fulfilling its commitments, and to what extent European institutions are fulfilling their commitments in this process. It is a high-level working format where we discuss very concrete topics related to our relationship,” added the head of state.


It is worth recalling that the organization of the EU-Moldova summit was announced in May by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. “We look forward to the next Moldova-EU summit, which will take place on July 4 in Chisinau,” wrote Ursula von der Leyen on X platform.
