1st April 2024, Chisinau - The primary objective of the study visit to Vilnius, Lithuania, from 25-26 March 2024, undertaken by colleagues from the European Integration Bureau, Aurelia Lupu and Ludmila-Draglina Vranceanu, along with other representatives from the Moldovan Parliament and Government, was to explore the process of accession to the European Union, focusing on its benefits and advantages, as well as to enhance knowledge in negotiations with the EU.

 

Organized by the International Republican Institute, the visit provided the delegation from Chisinau with the opportunity to engage in a series of meetings with Lithuanian officials, including representatives of the Seimas Parliamentary Committees, the Central Electoral Commission, the Ministry of Defence, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Discussions centred on Lithuania's experience in the EU accession process, notable transformations in the Baltic country, and the advantages of accession for Lithuanian citizens.

 

Considering these discussions, the delegation from Chisinau expressed gratitude to the Vilnius officials for their support to the Republic of Moldova in its European journey.

Ludmila-Dragalina Vranceanu, senior consultant in the Accession Process Coordination Directorate of the Bureau for European Integration, emphasized, "We are still at the beginning of the path, and it is imperative to enhance our knowledge in the process of negotiations with the EU, align with European standards, and effectively communicate with the general public on matters related to European integration, to ensure citizens are informed and engaged in this process."

 

In response, Lithuanian officials voiced their support for Moldova's European trajectory and commended the momentum of progress achieved in reforms aligning with EU standards and requirements.
