European Parliament to establish Eastern Partnership office in Moldova

The European Parliament will open an office in Moldova to further strengthen Parliament’s engagement with the Eastern Partnership region.

“In the context of heightened geopolitical tensions and renewed momentum behind EU enlargement, the new European Parliament antenna office in Chisinau will serve as a key contact point between the European Parliament and national parliaments, civil society, and local partners in the Eastern Partnership region,” said a press release by the European Parliament.

The office will promote Parliament’s positions and activities, and support democracy and institutional reforms in the region. It will assist with the preparation and follow-up of official visits of MEPs, while reinforcing cooperation with other EU actors on the ground, international organisations, and civil society.

This decision comes as MEPs are set to vote on 11 March 2025 on a new €1.9 billion Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova, to accelerate the country’s socio-economic reforms, strengthen its resilience, and advance its EU integration through grants and low-interest loans.

Currently, Parliament has three operational antenna offices – in New York, in Jakarta, and in Addis Ababa. Earlier, the Parliament also decided to establish an office in Kyiv, Ukraine.
