Moldovans hoped that European integration would bring them some perspectives and hope for a bright future, but looking at the European Union that was in crisis, we must understand that there is no need to hurry and jump into the fire, told on Thursday, January 31, the head of the Republic of Moldova, Igor Dodon.
According to him, the entry into the European Union should not wait for the next 10-15 years. Firstly, this is also recognized in Brussels, crossing out the empty promises of European integrators, and secondly, Moldova itself doesn’t really need it.
“The European Union needs to deal with internal problems. Can we talk about how we will be chasing tomorrow for a train that loses wagons on the move? Britain is coming out and it is unclear what will happen next, ”said the Moldovan leader.
Speaking about the membership in the North Atlantic Alliance, Dodon noted that Moldova simply would not survive if it renounced its neutral position by selling to the western military bloc. Moreover, for this it will also have to pay millions of dollars, creating an army of “NATO type.” “We must build schools and kindergartens, we must invest in infrastructure. Do we have nothing to do? ”He said, adding that the overwhelming majority of Moldovans are of the same opinion.
