Hussar affirmed Estonia’s support to Moldova’s EU membership

Hussar welcomed the results of the recent presidential elections and the referendum on accession to the EU in Moldova, and congratulated his colleague on the fact that the people of Moldova had chosen the path of the European Union. He assured that Estonia would continue to support Moldova in every way in its efforts to becoming a member of the EU.

“Moldova’s accession to the EU is also one of our priorities. We will do our best to help you on this journey. We are ready to share our accession experience, and we hope that the first chapters of accession negotiations can be opened already in the new year,” Hussar said in the video call with the Moldovan Speaker.

Hussar also strongly condemned Russia’s intervention in Moldova’s elections, and said that interfering in the elections in an independent country and trying to destabilise the country in this way was unacceptable. He called on the parliaments of other European countries to condemn Russia’s intervention.

During their video call, the Speakers also discussed the next year’s parliamentary elections in Moldova, as well as the situation in Transnistria and further cooperation in countering the threats from Russia.
