For almost four decades, it has been an EU member state, and its citizens enjoy safety, sustainable investments, and numerous opportunities. I was pleased to discuss today in Chișinău with Fernando Mariano Sampedro Marcos the developments in the EU accession negotiation process, the current situation, and the steps we will undertake,” said the official.
