19th July 2024, Chisinau - Over 200 specialists from various sectors related to European integration, including public institutions, media, and civil society, have convened at the International Conference "Next Steps in the EU Accession Process," organised by the Office for European Integration.

 

For two days, participants, alongside experts from Albania, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia, will discuss the experiences of Western Balkan countries that have already commenced the negotiation process, as well as the subsequent steps our country will undertake on its European path.

 

“We are firmly anchored on the path towards the European Union. It is imperative that all state institutions, including civil society, business, and academia, partake in this transformative process by bringing European values and standards into our homeland. We all aspire to a stronger and more resilient European Moldova, integrated into a European family where peace and prosperity are paramount, ready to face the challenges of today and tomorrow”, stated Cristina Gherasimov, Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, in her opening address.

 

Erika Hasznos, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation in Chisinau, commended the authorities' efforts at this stage: “We are now in the second phase of the enlargement process. The bilateral screening demands considerable attention, and I am confident that the Republic of Moldova will emerge stronger from this process, becoming more prepared for accession. The European Union remains steadfast in its support for the Republic of Moldova on its path towards the EU”.

 

Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, also participated in the event online. “We have an ambitious European agenda. Both Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova are drawing ever closer to the EU. EU enlargement represents a crucial opportunity, and we must ensure that we fully capitalise on this window of opportunity”, she remarked.

 

The International Conference ”Next Steps in the EU Accession Process” is organised with the support of the EU Project “Support for Structured Political Dialogue, Coordination of the Implementation of the Association Agreement, and Strengthening the Process of Harmonisation of Legislation for the Republic of Moldova”.
