Maia Sandu on the Union of the Republic of Moldova with Romania: "I want my country to be safe"
Published
The President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, spoke about the possible union of the Republic of Moldova with Romania in an interview given to the press in Hungary. Her statements were published by Știrile ProTV, which included in its headline one of the president's main ideas: her wish for her country to be safe.
The issue of union between the two states has been discussed for many years, both in the Republic of Moldova and in Romania. The Republic of Moldova declared its independence in 1991, and since then relations between the two countries have gone through different periods of rapprochement and tension. In recent years, the authorities in Chișinău have emphasised closer ties with the European Union, while the question of union has remained a sensitive topic in public debate.
In the current regional context, in which the war in Ukraine has heightened security concerns, the statements of the Moldovan leaders are drawing attention in Romania as well. Maia Sandu stressed, according to the information published, that her main concern is the security of the state and its citizens.
For Romanian citizens, the subject is of particular importance, because any eventual change in the status of the Republic of Moldova would affect bilateral relations and regional policy. To date, the official positions of the two states remain different on various issues, and further developments will be followed closely.
