« – Their ‘European moment’ –
On the eve of the summit of the European Political Community (EPC), which will see nearly 50 leaders flock to the small ex-Soviet nation on Thursday, French researcher Florent Parmentier told AFP that the high-level meeting amounts to Moldova’s “European moment”.

“They are determined to make a success of this summit” to prove that they have taken a step forward towards the “road to European integration”, Parmentier said.

“Moldova wants to present itself as the good European student — it is neither at war nor too big, nor is it tired of being in the waiting room like the Western Balkans,” the Moldova expert said.

“Moldovans are more attached to European integration than to any other alternative for Moldova’s future”.
