by Irina Botu 21.07.2026

The designated Prime Minister Vasile Tofan aims to build a closer relationship with UTA Gagauzia and asserts that he understands its issues from the experience gained over approximately 15 years of activity in the viticulture sector, including in the region. He believes that the upcoming elections in Gagauzia should contribute to bringing the region closer to the central authorities and to strengthening stability. The statement was made during the Parliament session, where the future executive’s governance program is presented, reports IPN.

Vasile Tofan stated that, recently, Gagauzia has fallen “into the hands of people who do not wish well for the Republic of Moldova”, mentioning the fugitive Ilan Shor. “I very much hope in the wisdom of the Gagauz people and in their ability to understand that such people do not wish well for the Gagauz. Their goals are different: geopolitical objectives and destabilizing the situation”, declared the appointed prime minister.

The designated Prime Minister emphasized that the authorities must gradually restore order, specifying that Gagauzia is part of the Republic of Moldova and must respect national legislation.

At the same time, Vasile Tofan stated that he sees UTA Gagauzia as an important partner in developing economic relations with Turkey, appreciating that the region can contribute to the expansion of exports and attracting investments from this country.
