On June 15, 2026, an intergovernmental conference was held in Luxembourg, at which Moldova officially began negotiations on accession to the European Union under Cluster 1 “Fundamental Values”. The Moldovan delegation was led by Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu. As President Maia Sandu noted, EU accession has ceased to be a distant goal and has become a reality that the country is already building. Cluster 1 covers key areas, including judicial reform, the fight against corruption, and the protection of human rights, which is directly relevant to the business environment. The opening of negotiations marks the transition to the practical harmonization of national legislation with European norms.
