Maia Sandu sent an official message after the official confirmation came from the Council of Europe that the Republic of Moldova received the status of a candidate country for joining the European Union, together with Ukraine, as expected.
Maia Sandu praises this historic day for the Republic of Moldova, one that will give Moldovans the chance to start the path towards entering the great European community at a given moment, but it will take many years of reforms for the accession to take place.
Historic day for Moldova: the European Council offered us the status of a candidate country for joining the European Union. We are starting on the road to the EU, which will bring Moldovans more well-being, more opportunities and more order in their country.
We have a complicated road ahead of us, which will require a lot of work and effort - and which we are prepared to travel, together, to ensure a better future for citizens. Moldova has a future in the European Union!
