The ultimate decision of the future of Republic of Moldova rests on this country's citizens, on Tuesday asserted the Romanian Foreign Affairs Minister Teodor Melescanu, at a debate organised by the National School of Political and Administrative Studies (SNSPA).
The Foreign Affairs minister added that Romania can offer support, information, knowledge, programmes for the Moldovan citizens.
"So, what we can grant is support, information, knowledge, programmes for the citizens but ultimately the fundamental decision of the future of the Republic of Moldova rests on the citizens of Moldova and from this point of view, we are at a particularly special moment. Parliamentary election are due this year and naturally, the guideline of the future foreign policy of the Republic of Moldova will largely depend on these elections' outcome. To us it is a priority, but not in the master-to-student sense, but as from brother to brother, and yet the decisions must be made by the citizens of the Republic of Moldova. What we can do is to support a certain vision and a certain interest of the EU for its enlargement, including towards the East, but that largely depends on what will happen in the respective country: the evolution of democracy, an independent justice, whatever you want, a good governance," the chief diplomat concluded.
