Newsletter of the Delegation of the European Union
In this edition of the Newsletter, we bring together key developments that highlight the Republic of Moldova’s European path, the strengthening of institutional resilience, and the active involvement of communities and young people in transformation processes.
The Newsletter opens with messages delivered at European level, where Commissioner for Enlargement Kos underlines the significant progress achieved by the Republic of Moldova, noting the highest annual advancement recorded among all candidate countries. In the same spirit, the dialogue between Roberta Metsola and President Maia Sandu with young people reaffirms the essential role of the younger generation in supporting and advancing the European integration process. This theme continues with a new edition of “EU Talks”, which brought together over 100 young people from across the country.
The European dimension of support for local communities is reflected through the EU4Moldova Resilient initiatives, showcasing tangible results: the complete renovation and energy efficiency upgrade of a kindergarten in Hîncești, as well as the modernisation of nine volunteer firefighter stations. These investments are complemented by the Volunteer Firefighters Festival 2025, an event dedicated to solidarity and safer communities.
The Newsletter also addresses current challenges in the field of public information through the Media Forum 2025, which provides an in-depth overview of sectoral issues and identifies solutions to strengthen a resilient and responsible media environment. At the same time, it highlights engagement with civil society organisations from across Moldova, as part of a national dialogue on civic participation and community empowerment.
At the level of security and international cooperation, this edition features efforts to strengthen resilience against hybrid threats, as well as the Moldova–Spain exchange of experience aimed at intensifying actions against migrant smuggling—an example of practical and effective cooperation.
