Muresan: The Transdniestrian Issue Is to Be Resolved before EU Accession

MEP Siegfried Muresan hailed the decision on granting the EU candidate status to Moldova and Ukraine. "Supporting Moldova and Ukraine on EU membership is not only a duty to the peoples of these states, but also in the interests of the European Union," Siegfried Muresan said, quoted by tv8.md. According to the MEP, the Transdniestrian issue should be resolved before the actual accession of Moldova to the EU. "The Transdniestrian problem should be solved before Moldova's accession to the EU. The fact that there is still no decision on this case should not prevent us from going through all the steps for EU accession, we can make great progress, in many areas, in parallel with finding a solution to the Transdniestrian issue. The decision of the Council of Europe to grant Moldova a candidate status is a historic decision, it is the most important thing the EU has done for Moldova, and it is the best basis for further integration and future decisions," Siegfried Muresan said.
