Moldovan President Maia Sandu urges EU to expedite membership process, emphasizing its crucial role in safeguarding her nations independence amidst Russian interference. Sandu, a strong pro-European, believes EU membership is key to preventing Moldova from being exploited by authoritarian regimes. Moldova, with a population of 2.4 million, applied for EU membership in 2022 and was granted candidate status. Despite progress, the process faces hurdles due to Hungarys veto on Ukraines bid and the unanimity rule. Sandu suggests EU reforms to overcome such impasses. Moldova aims to complete accession negotiations by 2028, a goal the Commission deems ambitious but achievable.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
