High-profile summit ‘a milestone’ for Moldova’s rapid shift to the West (The National News – PARMENTIER)

Moldova’s EU ambassador tells The National Thursday’s meeting in Chisinau will help European leaders grasp looming threat from Russia.

“The Moldovan government realised that the war in Ukraine played an important role in accelerating history,” said Florent Parmentier, secretary general of the French research institute Cevipof, affiliated to Sciences Po in Paris.

(…) “It’s a country that’s both very anxious due to serious risks of destabilisation from Russia and also has the feeling that, finally, Europe understands and sees Moldova,” said Mr Parmentier, a Moldova expert who has made several recent trips to the country as it prepares for the EPC.

“We have to recognise that Moldovan officials have been working really hard over the past months to get ready for the EPC,” he added.
