Moldovan parliament adopts Declaration on country's accession to European Union
The parliament of Moldova on July 10 adopted a Declaration on the Accession of Moldova to the European Union, a symbolic and strategic document that reaffirms the authorities' firm commitment to the country's European path. The parliamentary opposition boycotted the last plenary meeting.
The legislative initiative was put forward by a group of MPs from the Action and Solidarity Party’s (PAS) faction, and the document was read in the plenary by the Deputy Parliament Speaker Doina Gherman.
The Declaration highlights the significant progress made in the European integration process, including getting the candidate status in 2022, opening accession negotiations in 2024, and strengthening bilateral relations with the European Union, recently marked by the organization of the first Moldova-EU Summit in Chisinau in July 2025.
The parliamentarians called on all political forces, state institutions and civil society to remain united around this national goal and to actively contribute to its achievement.
The document emphasizes that the partnership with the EU has brought real benefits to citizens: more economic opportunities, support for communities, enhanced mobility and social safety and protection, despite the challenging of the regional context.
At the same time, the Declaration expresses hope that, by the end of 2025, the necessary conditions for starting chapter negotiations will be met.
The lawmakers also call to the future legislature, which will be constituted after the elections on September 28, 2025, to maintain the European course of Moldova and ensure the continuity and acceleration of reforms. At the same time, the government is urged to guarantee a free and fair election, prevent external interference and firmly combat electoral corruption.
"We end the eleventh legislative period with the deep conviction that, by the end of this decade, through unity, determination, and perseverance, the Republic of Moldova will become a member state of the European Union – a free and dignified country, contributing to the peace, democracy and security of the entire continent," the document adopted by the parliament reads.
The parliament of Moldova officially ends its mandate on July 11, but will remain functional until the validation of the new legislature, which will be elected at the September 28, 2025 polls.
The parliament of the 11th legislative period of Moldova was constituted following the snap parliamentary elections on July 11, 2021. At that time, three political entities passed the electoral threshold and entered the Legislature. Specifically, the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) secured a parliamentary majority with 63 seats (52.80 per cent), followed by the Bloc of Communists and Socialists (BCS) with 32 seats (27.17 per cent), and the Shor Party with six seats (5.74 per cent).
During the four-year mandate, two deputies from the PAS faction – Victoria Cazacu and Olesea Stamate – left to become unaffiliated deputies. The Bloc of Communists and Socialists, in turn, lost five deputies: Vasile Bolea, Gaik Vartanean, Alexandr Suhodolski, Irina Lozovan, and Alexandr Nesterovschi – who continued their activity as unaffiliated deputies. In 2023, the Shor Party was declared unconstitutional, resulting in the five lawmakers of the formation becoming independents.
