On Friday, President Gitanas Nausėda had a telephone conversation with President Maia Sandu of Moldova to discuss Moldova's Euro-integration process.
During the conversation, the Head of State underlined Lithuania's consistent support for Moldova's integration into the European Union. Gitanas Nausėda stressed that the country has made significant progress in implementing reforms and the European Commission's recommendations, but all efforts towards progress have to continue, as the speed and success of the country's Euro-integration will depend on it. According to President Gitanas Nausėda, it is particularly important for Moldova to demonstrate progress in reforming the judicial system and in the fight against corruption and oligarchs. The President stressed that Lithuania is ready to continue sharing its experience in order to help Moldova strengthen the necessary capacities on the European integration path.
"Next week's European Council meeting is crucial for the future of both Moldova's and Ukraine's Euro-integration. It is essential to reach a consensus among EU leaders on the opening of accession negotiations with these countries without any additional conditions. This is a decision of geopolitical significance and of importance for the whole of Europe. We need to demonstrate political will and take a step towards a bigger and stronger EU," President Gitanas Nausėda added.
