Popescu: Moldova Fe Facto Suspended Its Participation in the CIS Platform

Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Nicu Popescu said that Moldova has actually suspended its participation in the CIS. He said this in an interview with NordNews. “Moldova has suspended its participation in regular meetings within the CIS and signals very clearly its total disagreement with the trends that are observed in this space. Integration and accession to the European Union remains our absolute priority,” Popescu said, infotag.md reports. At the same time, he noted that from the legal point of view, Moldova’s membership in the CIS does not contradict the course towards the European integration. “This (contradiction) is more of a symbolic nature. The formal belonging to the post-Soviet space bears a certain symbolic meaning, which many of our citizens do not like”, said the minister. Point
