MEPs urge Moldova be given EU candidate status
By EUobserver
MEPs welcomed Moldova's formal EU membership application, submitted in early March, supporting its candidate status under the treaties. In a resolution adopted on Thursday, the European Parliament raised concerns over the explosions and rocket attacks recently reported in the Russia-controlled Transnistrian region. Additionally, EU lawmakers called on the EU to provide more financial assistance to Moldova, one of the major destinations for Ukrainian refugees.
