Moldova's EU accession drive

Entities: Maia Sandu · Parliament of Moldova · Vasile Tofan · Republic of Moldova · Mircea Snegur

Overview

President Maia Sandu chaired the inaugural session of Moldova’s National Commission for European Integration, presenting the first‑half 2026 accession programme report and reviewing benchmarks on justice, fundamental rights, freedom and security. She outlined the new government’s priorities ahead of the European Commission’s annual assessment and urged coordinated action across state bodies, local authorities, civil society and the private sector.

Later the same day, Sandu marked the 32nd anniversary of Moldova’s Constitution, emphasizing that recent amendments – including the 2023 language change and the post‑2024 referendum declaration of EU integration as a strategic objective – enshrine the nation’s commitment to joining the European Union. She linked the constitutional framework to continued democratic reforms and the pursuit of peace and prosperity through EU accession.
