– I will reiterate, because it’s never enough to recall certain, perhaps seemingly obvious, points – but in an era when truth is not so prevalent in politics, when lies, cynicism, and fake news so often prevail, perhaps today we need to restate this truth – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Moldova.

– EU enlargement to include Moldova, as well as other aspiring countries seeking membership and undergoing the accession process, is obviously in the interest of these nations, Moldova – I am deeply convinced of this – but it is equally in the interest of all of Europe – he continued.

– In this common endeavour, no one is doing anyone a favour or a courtesy. A secure, prosperous, and stable Moldova as part of the EU is in the most vital interest of the EU as a whole. The peace, prosperity, and security of the EU and its member states are linked to the peace, prosperity, and security of Moldova. Europe will be stronger with Moldova – the head of government underscored.
