Eugeniu Osmochescu will serve as interim prime minister of the Republic of Moldova starting July 8. Alexandru Munteanu thanked Eugeniu Osmochescu for accepting this responsibility and expressed confidence that he will ensure the continuity of the Government’s activity with responsibility.

“Starting tomorrow, in accordance with the decree signed by President Maia Sandu, the interim office of prime minister will be held by Deputy Prime Minister Eugen Osmochescu. I thank him for accepting this responsibility and wish him much success in this mission. I have full confidence that he will ensure the continuity of the Government’s activity with responsibility,” declared Alexandru Munteanu.

President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu today signed the decree appointing Eugeniu Osmochescu as interim prime minister. He will exercise the duties of head of Government starting July 8, 2026, until a new Cabinet is formed.
