Previously, Prime Minister Luca Niculescu reiterated that a possible unification of Romania with the Republic of Moldova could take place only if the citizens of the two states wanted it, while the authorities’ priority remained strengthening bilateral relations and bringing the Republic of Moldova closer to the European Union; on Tuesday, Niculescu made his first foreign trip to Chișinău.
Head of state Maia Sandu said at a security forum that the Republic of Moldova would be safer united with Romania, but that polls did not indicate the existence of a majority in favor of Unification, while the majority supported joining the EU; she also invoked the historical context of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. Separately, Prime Minister Vasile Tofan said some time ago that the government was pursuing the signing of the EU accession treaty in 2028 and that NATO membership was not on the country’s agenda, with the Republic of Moldova set to maintain its neutrality.
