European integration

According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the last round (the 3rd one) of negotiations on the Action Plan Republic of Moldova — EU should have been held in mid-March. However, it was adjourned, fact that raised eyebrows among media outlets. They now speculate that negotiation process was stalled. Later on, British Embassy, after a meeting of a number of European diplomats with Moldovan Minister of Foreign Affairs, issued a press release saying “negotiations were not stalled /…/ At this stage, EU member countries and new members review negotiation outcomes with all neighbourhood countries involved in Enlarged Europe program so as to determine future actions. The main goal is to obtain clear and positive outcome in discussions on action plans, including for the Republic of Moldova”.

The gist of this explanation has been confirmed by sources in Ministry of Foreign Affairs who expect negotiations to resume end of March or early next month. Afterwards, authorities would have to complete the action plan so as to submit it to Brussels by May.

GUUAM

National Co-ordinators of GUAM countries flew to Azerbaijan capital Baku for a meeting. Moldova was represented by Sergiu Stati, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. According to RIA “Novosti” cited by “BASA-press”, topping the agenda were streamlining GUUAM internal structure, enforcing agreements previously signed and regional co-operation.
