I strongly believe
that the Republic of Moldova can only fulfil its destiny within the European
Union. We will stand by the citizens of the Republic of Moldova regardless of
the effort entailed and the time it takes, said Romania’s president Klaus
Iohannis in Suceava, in the north-east, where his counterpart Nicolae Timofti
received the doctor honoris causa title from the city’s Stephen the
Great University on Tuesday. Klaus Iohannis:




Romania continues
to support firmly the European path of the Republic of Moldova and to assist it
in this complex integration process. I am happy to have been able to discuss
with president Nicolae Timofti several priority issues for our bilateral
relationship and for the Republic of Moldova.




The Romanian
president also welcomed the pro-European choice made by Moldovan voters at the
recent local elections:




The people have
given a new mandate for the European transformation of the Republic of Moldova.
We hope Chisinau will have as soon as possible a new solid and stable coalition
able to consolidate the European course of the Republic of Moldova and continue
reform processes at an accelerated pace. In the current internal and regional
context, delays and hesitations are not beneficial. In our opinion, these are
not just the expectations of Romania and the other European partners, but,
first of all, the expectations of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova.




Moldova’s president
Nicolae Timofti said the political dialogue with Romania continues to be
consistent and constructive and emphasised that the talks with his Romanian
counterpart focused on both maters of regional security and the many joint
projects at different stages of implementation:




Bilateral
cooperation has a positive record so far, from the European integration process
to projects in the energy, education and social areas. These projects will help
strengthen the democratic processes in the Republic of Moldova: the
consolidation of the rule of law and an independent justice system, the fight
against corruption, the modernisation of state institutions and the creation of
a fair and competitive economic environment.




There are plans to
expand bilateral cooperation between Romania and the Republic of Moldova, in
particular by developing infrastructure projects to ensure the full connection
of the Republic of Moldova to the European energy market.
