In particular, Sandu said that Moldova is a neutral state and plans to remain so in the future.
“According to the country’s Constitution, we are a neutral state. There is no such initiative (of joining NATO – ed.) Now. We do not pose a military threat to anyone. We stand for peace,” she said.
Speaking about Russia’s reaction to Moldova’s aspirations to the EU, Sandu said that the republic intends to maintain a constructive dialogue with the Russian Federation after joining the EU.
“As I said before, we respect the choice of other countries and expect other countries to respect our choice. And the fact that we are deepening and will further strengthen relations with the EU does not mean that we will not be able to conduct a constructive and pragmatic dialogue with Russia. And among the EU countries there are states that maintain good relations with the Russian Federation, “said the President of Moldova.
