The Conception of European Integration
The Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has finished, according to schedule, the draft of the Conception of European Integration and submitted it to Prime Minister Tarlev. The draft will soon be sent to the Directorate of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe and the European Commission for expertise. Following these consultations with the European bodies on the draft, a Strategy on the European Integration of Moldova will be adopted and adopted by the Parliament.
The importance of this document has been assessed by President Voronin in his speech on Independence Day as “the major strategic document of our state, a document which is above all party manifestos and above all programmes of action of all branches of power”. Under these circumstances, it is at least paradoxical the fact that the contents of the draft has not been published, not at least partially, although earlier the authorities had announced that they would subject it to public debates before adopting it.
Relations with Romania
During the annual meeting with the Romanian ambassadors and diplomats, the Romanian Prime Minister Adrain Nastase stated that at present Romania is not interested in signing a basic political treaty with Moldova since, under the current circumstances, such a treaty would lack substance and only repeat the “stereotypes contained in the pre-1989 agreements”.
Despite Romania’s efforts to have a positive approach to its relations with Moldova, these will not work as long as the Moldovan authorities do not get rid of the suspicions that they still breed towards Romania, said Nastase.
The basic political treaty between Moldova and Romania was drafted in April 2000, but due to a number of changes operated to it unilaterally by the Moldovan side, the signature and ratification procedure of the treaty was stopped.
Chairmanship of the Council of Europe
The Head of the Moldovan Foreign Service, Nicolae Dudau, in his capacity of Chairman in Office of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, had a meeting with His Highness, Rainer the 3rd, the Prince of Monaco, with whom he discussed the prospect of the Principality of Monaco joining the Council of Europe.
The Two also discussed bilateral relations between Moldova and Monaco, including the prospect of establishing diplomatic relations and that of Monaco granting Moldova technical and financial assistance for some rural tourism projects.
