Sandu Responded to the Proposal to Unify Moldova with Romania
Moldovan President Maia Sandu commented on the controversial bill on the unification of Moldova and Romania, calling it an attempt to discredit the very idea of unification.
According to Sandu, the bill was initiated by a “Moscow agent” and has nothing to do with the actual mechanisms for uniting the two countries. She also noted that the lower house of the Romanian parliament’s technical approval of the bill, due to procedural peculiarities, will not affect relations between Chisinau and Bucharest.
The president compared the situation to a hypothetical legislative initiative on France’s accession to Moldova, emphasizing that such processes cannot take place in this manner.
In addition, Sandu ruled out the possibility of holding a referendum on unification with Romania in the near future.

The Romanian Chamber of Deputies approved, through a “silent approval” procedure, a high-profile legislative initiative that provides for the start of negotiations on the country’s unification with the Republic of Moldova.
Moldova’s Deputy Prime Minister Eugen Osmochescu stated that the country might consider unification with Romania if the process of joining the European Union is blocked or significantly slowed down after 2028.
Earlier, Moldovan President Maia Sandu stated that the accession of Ukraine and Moldova to the EU is not a “concession” on Europe’s part, but a strategic choice for the security of the entire continent. She emphasized that both countries have already proven their right to be part of the European Union by choosing the European path under difficult conditions.
