Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu said on 24 November that Moldova’s path to EU membership depends on strengthening local authorities, calling for close collaboration with central administration, European institutions and local governments. The statement was made at the first meeting of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) Working Group on Moldova, held in Moldova, where Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Cristina Gherasimov and EU Ambassador Iwona Piorko echoed the Commission’s positive assessment of Moldova’s progress. Munteanu highlighted that additional financial support will help local governments meet EU acquis requirements and that authentic reforms must involve the entire society. The meeting also discussed decentralisation and the Moldova Growth Plan, which includes a €1.9 billion Reform and Growth Facility to aid local and regional authorities.
