European Parliament inaugurates permanent presence in Moldova

On 7 November, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola officially opened the EP’s office in Chișinău.

“The European Parliament stands firmly with Moldova and with all our Eastern Partnership friends. Today, we open this office in Chișinău as a tangible expression of our belief in Moldova’s future within the European family,” Roberta Metsola said.

The office will promote Parliament’s positions and activities, and support democracy and institutional reforms in the region. It will also facilitate the preparation and follow-up of official visits by MEPs, while reinforcing cooperation with other EU actors, international organisations, and civil society on the ground, fostering closer ties between the European Union and its neighbours.

In a report adopted in June 2025, Members of the European Parliament acknowledged that the relationship between the EU and Moldova has entered a new phase, characterised by enhanced cooperation and ongoing efforts by the government in Chișinău to harmonise its national legislation with the EU acquis.
