Seimas speaker: Lithuania supports Moldova on path to EU membership

Parliament Speaker Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen met with President of the Moldovan Parliament Igor Grosu on Tuesday in Vilnius. She stressed that the EU candidate country status and accelerated integration have opened a historic opportunity for Moldova and its people, which Lithuania is ready to help achieve.

“We realise perfectly well that attempts will be made to push Moldova off the track of euro-integration. We have witnessed how in recent months Russia and its proxies attempted to destabilise your country by using energy, cyberattacks, organising protests and engaging in other destructive activities. You may rely on Lithuania as we support your determination to walk on the path of euro-integration and are fully ready to help,” Čmilytė-Nielsen said at a media briefing after the meeting on Tuesday.
