Deputy Prime Minister Eugenie Osmocescu stressed that the country's main goal is to sign an agreement with the EU by the end of 2028. The position is also supported by key politicians, including Foreign Minister Mihai Popsoi and President Maia Sandu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Moldova's Deputy Prime Minister Osmocescu admits unification with Romania after 2028.<\/li>\n<li>The goal is to sign an EU accession agreement by the end of 2028.<\/li>\n<li>Foreign Minister Pop\u0161oj is ready to support the union in a referendum.<\/li>\n<li>President Sandu is also considering a union with Romania.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The possibility of uniting with Romania as an alternative to joining the EU<\/h2>\n<p>Vice Prime Minister of Moldova <strong>Eugene Osmochescu<\/strong> said that Moldova could become part of Romania if its accession to the European Union is delayed or blocked after 2028. He stressed that the country's main goal is to sign an EU accession agreement by the end of 2028. This statement shows that the authorities are serious about the prospects of European integration and possible alternatives.<\/p>\n<h2>Position of key political figures in Moldova<\/h2>\n<p>Head of the Moldovan Foreign Ministry <strong>Michail Popshoy<\/strong> expressed readiness to support the idea of unification with Romania in the event of a referendum. His position underlines that the political leadership understands the importance of such a step to accelerate integration into the EU. Earlier, the President of Moldova <strong>Maya Sandu<\/strong> also allowed for the option of amalgamation with Bucharest, which indicates that there is support for this idea at the highest level.<\/p>\n<h2>The context of European integration and challenges for Moldova<\/h2>\n<p>Moldova's accession to the European Union remains a key issue in the country's domestic and foreign policy. Delays or blocking of the process after 2028 may force the authorities to look for alternative ways to achieve European goals. Association with Romania is seen as a possible way to speed up integration and gain access to the EU system. This decision will have a significant political and social impact on both Moldova and the region.<\/p>\n<h2>Prospects and consequences of the merger<\/h2>\n<p>The unification of Moldova with Romania could change the geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe. For Ukraine, this event will also have an impact, given the neighbourhood and common interests in the region. Moldovan politicians emphasise that an alliance with Romania is an option if European integration is delayed. At the same time, such a step would require a broad public consensus, which would have to be confirmed through a referendum.<\/p>\n<h2>Romania's role in Moldova's integration process<\/h2>\n<p>Romania, as a member of the EU, can play a key role in supporting Moldova on its path to European integration. The idea of unification is intended not only to speed up Moldova's accession to the EU, but also to strengthen ties between the two countries. This issue is being actively discussed at the political level and is of interest in international circles. Further steps will depend on developments in Moldova's European integration process.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041c\u043e\u043b\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u0454 \u043e\u0431\u2019\u0454\u0434\u043d\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437 \u0420\u0443\u043c\u0443\u043d\u0456\u0454\u044e \u0443 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0437\u0430\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0438 \u0430\u0431\u043e \u0431\u043b\u043e\u043a\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u0443 \u0434\u043e \u0404\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0421\u043e\u044e\u0437\u0443 \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f 2028 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443. \u0412\u0456\u0446\u0435\u043f\u0440\u0435\u043c\u2019\u0454\u0440 \u0404\u0432\u0433\u0435\u043d \u041e\u0441\u043c\u043e\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0443 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043b\u0438\u0432, \u0449\u043e \u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u044e \u043c\u0435\u0442\u043e\u044e \u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u0454 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0434\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0443 \u0437 \u0404\u0421 \u0434\u043e \u043a\u0456\u043d\u0446\u044f 2028 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443. \u041f\u043e\u0437\u0438\u0446\u0456\u044e \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c \u0456 \u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0456\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0438, \u0437\u043e\u043a\u0440\u0435\u043c\u0430 \u0433\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u041c\u0417\u0421 \u041c\u0456\u0445\u0430\u0439 \u041f\u043e\u043f\u0448\u043e\u0439 \u0442\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u043a\u0430 \u041c\u0430\u0439\u044f \u0421\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0443. \u041a\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u043e \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0435 \u0412\u0456\u0446\u0435\u043f\u0440\u0435\u043c\u2019\u0454\u0440 \u041c\u043e\u043b\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0438 \u041e\u0441\u043c\u043e\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0443 \u0434\u043e\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a\u0430\u0454 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":21522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u041c\u043e\u043b\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u0454 \u043e\u0431\u2019\u0454\u0434\u043d\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437 \u0420\u0443\u043c\u0443\u043d\u0456\u0454\u044e \u0443 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0437\u0430\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0438 \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u0443 \u0434\u043e \u0404\u0421 \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f 2028 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443, \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0432 \u0432\u0456\u0446\u0435\u043f\u0440\u0435\u043c\u2019\u0454\u0440 \u041e\u0441\u043c\u043e\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0443.","rank_math_title":"\u041c\u043e\u043b\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u0454 \u043e\u0431\u2019\u0454\u0434\u043d\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437 \u0420\u0443\u043c\u0443\u043d\u0456\u0454\u044e \u044f\u043a\u0449\u043e \u0404\u0421 \u0437\u0430\u0431\u043b\u043e\u043a\u0443\u0454 \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u043e\u0431\u2019\u0454\u0434\u043d\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437 \u0420\u0443\u043c\u0443\u043d\u0456\u0454\u044e","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805619],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21523","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21523"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21523\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21524,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21523\/revisions\/21524"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
