At a news conference, the official specified that he wants that there is a pro-European parliamentary majority following the parliamentary elections due in Moldova, and the relations between Moldova and the EU states boost.  

„The European integration goal remains fundamental for our country; therefore, we make important efforts, for the dialogue with the European countries be substantive. In Berlin, I had meetings with more German officials. During the meetings, I discussed the bilateral relations, the Moldova-EU cooperation, Germany’s role in the formation of these ties, the challenges faced by Moldova, Transnistrian conflict and the actions needed to be undertaken for the withdrawal of the Russian troops from Moldova. At the same time, we agreed that the German partners organize hearings at the Committee on European Affairs or the foreign policy one, in order to present the achievements and problems of our country. Moldova’s representatives will attend the meeting as well and after it, we hope that our relations will advance,” Leanca noted.

The Romanian partners rely on the extension of the commercial relations, increase of investments and continuation of joint projects. An important subject was the restoration of the Chisinau-based Mihai Eminescu National Theatre and the construction of two bridges: in Ungheni and the country’s southern region. Also, decision-makers will soon announce the day when a joint meeting of the Moldovan and Romanian governments will be held,” Iurie Leanca added.
