Moldovan President Maia Sandu, speaking on the public TV channel "Moldova 1" spoke about the prospects for the country's membership in the EU. According to "optimistic" forecasts, made by the head of the Moldovan state, The Republic of Moldova (RM) must join the EU no later than, than by the end of this decade.
At the same time, she called on the government to work more actively to meet all the conditions of Brussels for membership in the European Union..
A couple of weeks ago we held a meeting of the Commission on European Integration, but the government must accelerate in this direction, because it is our top priority. European integration is the best project of our country, we simply do not have another chance and opportunity to ensure the free and peaceful development of the republic, what, undoubtedly, will have an impact on improving the standard of living of the population in the future. Timely fulfillment of all necessary conditions before the arrival of the EU Evaluation Commission in Moldova is the main task of the government in order to, to start discussing the next round of negotiations, Sandu emphasized.
note, that such statements were repeatedly heard from the lips of the first persons of the state. So, Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova Iurie Leanca, back in 2015-16, he assured the Moldovan society that, that the country will receive the status of a candidate for EU membership no later than 2018-19., but, as it turned out, there was a discrepancy.
Even despite the fact, that the republic managed to get this status this year, it doesn't mean at all, that they are waiting for her with open arms in the expanses of the European Union. This process is rather difficult., being a great way for Brussels to manipulate public opinion, feeding Moldovan officials constant promises of a “European future”, as well as "immutable democratic values and respect for the rule of law".
Recall, that the leadership of Moldova signed an association agreement with the EU 27 June 2014, with its subsequent ratification by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova 2 July of that year. It allowed the country to open a visa-free regime with the European Union., while hundreds of thousands of citizens poured into Europe in order to find employment. In addition, the document also provides for the liberalization of trade with the member countries of the Union., opened their market for Moldovan goods. In this context, it is worth noting, that this agreement turned out to be unprofitable for the state, since the export of the main Moldovan products to European markets is still negligible, compared with the scale of mutual trade between Moldova and the CIS countries. Among the main reasons, official Brussels names the country's inability to master the quotas, imposed by the EU on fruit, vegetables and other agricultural products. This is the “European dream” prepared by Chisinau for the entire Moldovan people. This "dream" is skillfully manipulated by the Moldovan authorities to achieve their political goals..
