Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova Iwona Piórko hosted the annual reception for media representatives at the EU Residence

A free, independent and professional media is essential to any democratic society. The role of journalists in the Republic of Moldova’s European path is crucial, as they help foster an informed public debate on what EU membership means for Moldova. A successful accession depends on a well-informed and supportive public.

The EU continues to support independent journalism and media pluralism in the Republic of Moldova through targeted programmes, including trainings, initiatives to counter disinformation, and efforts to strengthen media literacy.
