Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Top EU officials warmly congratulated Maia Sandu on her victory in Moldova’s presidential election.

According to the Joint Statement by the European Commission and High Representative Josep Borrell:

“We commend the Moldovan authorities for the successful conduct of the election, despite unprecedented interference by Russia, including vote-buying schemes and disinformation. These hybrid attempts have sought to undermine the country’s democratic institutions and its EU path.”

“The European Union supports Moldova’s security and resilience including through the European Peace Facility and the European Union Partnership Mission. Moldova was the first country to conclude a Security and Defence Partnership with the EU.”

European Council President Charles Michel stated on X, “The people of Moldova have reaffirmed their trust in your leadership, stability and commitment to a European future,” while congratulating Sandu on her victory.

Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President, expressed on X that it “takes a rare kind of strength to overcome the challenges you’ve faced in this election”. “I’m glad to continue working with you towards a European future for Moldova and its people,” added Von der Leyen.

Moreover, the European Union expressed that the recent referendum has reaffirmed the Moldovan people’s dedication to the European path and to further support close ties. The EU stated that it will continue to operate with the President and the Moldovan authorities to encourage further reforms and improve the country’s stability and prosperity on its EU path, including through the recently announced Growth Plan for Moldova.
