During the Summit, a new EU-backed investment of \u20ac232.7 million under the Growth Plan for the rehabilitation of the Porumbrei\u2013Comrat road was announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaders welcomed progress on Moldova&#8217;s gradual integration into the EU, most notably through participation in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), the Roam Like at Home scheme and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/funding-and-tenders\/find-funding\/eu-funding-programmes\/creative-europe_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Europe<\/a>. These important steps achieved over the past year are now facilitating euro transfers, eliminating roaming fees, and bringing Moldova and its people closer to the Union.

They reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening Moldova&#8217;s resilience, security and democratic institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, a new \u20ac11 million support measure will bolster Moldova&#8217;s resilience against hybrid attacks, and \u20ac17 million in border infrastructure investment will support Moldova&#8217;s security and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leaders reaffirmed the vital role of the EU Partnership Mission in Moldova in strengthening the country&#8217;s resilience against hybrid threats. The EU is also committed to providing support through the relevant initiatives of the European Democracy Shield. It continues to support Moldova in countering actions aimed at destabilising, undermining or threatening its sovereignty and independence, including actions aimed at subverting its democratic processes. Last week it imposed restrictive measures against six individuals responsible for such actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moldova is the second-largest recipient of European Peace Facility support, with a total of \u20ac197 million committed to date. EU support will continue in 2026 with another consistent package under preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/fr\/ip_25_1730\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first EU &#8211; Moldova Summit<\/a>&nbsp;took place in July 2025. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moldova has been an EU candidate country since June 2022. On 15 June 2026, the EU formally opened the first negotiation cluster of the accession process after Moldova fulfilled the required opening benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2025, the EU adopted the \u20ac1.9 billion Growth Plan for Moldova, supported by the Reform and Growth Facility for 2025\u20132027. It is the largest EU financial support package ever provided to the country. To date, Moldova has unlocked around \u20ac504 million under the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU is supporting Moldova&#8217;s social development. Since 2021, more than \u20ac16 million has been mobilised through Erasmus+ to support education, training, youth and sport cooperation with Moldova. In January 2026, Moldova joined&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/culture.ec.europa.eu\/creative-europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Europe<\/a>, the European Union&#8217;s flagship programme to support the cultural and creative sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moldova&#8217;s gradual integration into the EU single market is already well underway. Since October 2025, Moldova has been part of SEPA, while Moldovan citizens have benefited from Roam Like at Home since January 2026. Improved market access for several agricultural products has further strengthened Moldova&#8217;s economic integration with the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consilium.europa.eu\/en\/press\/press-releases\/2026\/06\/22\/joint-declaration-following-the-second-eu-moldova-summit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joint Declaration following EU-Moldova Summit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/STATEMENT_26_1403\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Opening remarks by President von der Leyen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/STATEMENT_26_1411\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Press statement<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/enlargement.ec.europa.eu\/eu-and-moldova-factsheet_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EU-Moldova relations factsheet<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the second EU-Moldova Summit marked another step forward in EU\u2013Republic of Moldova relations and underscored the country&#8217;s remarkable progress on its EU path.
