The Republic of Moldova will benefit from EU support in the amount of €79 million for 2017. The money will not reach the authorities directly, but will be allocated for different projects, acquisitions, technical assistance, equipment and others and will be managed by the EU through the EBRD, EIB and other organizations. The Single Support Framework for 2017-2020 envisions €284 to €348 million in assistance. The final sum will depend on Moldova’s absorption capacity. The information was presented in a news conference staged by the EU Delegation to Moldova, IPN reports.

Ambassador of the European Union to Moldova Peter Michalko said the support planned for 2017-2020 represents the second part of the multiannual EU support program and centers on the priorities set based on the European neighborhood policy and the Global Strategy for 2016. This support will offer Moldova the possibility of achieving new results in developing the social and economic policy and in strengthening the political association and economic integration objectives. The assistance is provided for national initiatives in different areas and for regional projects.

According to the Head of Operations of the EU Delegation to the Republic of Moldova Aneil Singh, the Single Support Framework for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 was adopted recently and is centered on projects. The package for 2017 to the value of €79 million has no connection with the macro-financial assistance and is not something additional to that assistance. Support will be provided for civil society, local media institutions and for consolidating the potential for ensuring a competitive economic environment and for strengthening the energy sector.

Mediation as an instrument of efficient dispute resolution will be supported, as will be the enhancement of transparency at state-owned enterprises. Special attention will be devoted to the communication with the people and their informing about the projects implemented with EU support.

Aneil Singh said the Republic of Moldova, alongside other states, will continue to benefit from regional assistance that is provided through the EUBAM Mission, the program ERASMUS, transfrontier cooperation programs, etc. Also, Moldova benefits from other types of assistance that is offered through other short-term instruments.

The state aims to gradually increase defense spending to 1% of the gross domestic product by 2030. The measure is included in the Implementation Program of the National Defense Strategy for the years 2026-2030, developed by the Ministry of Defense and proposed for government approval. Currently, allocations for this area constitute approximately 0.75% of the GDP, reports IPN.

The document provides for the strengthening of national resilience, the development of military capabilities, investments in strategic infrastructure and cybersecurity, as well as the expansion of cooperation with external partners. At the same time, the authorities aim to modernize the National Army.

In assessing the security environment, the project’s authors mention among the main threats to the Republic of Moldova the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the risk of its extension to the country’s borders, the Russian military presence in the Transnistrian region, hybrid attacks, disinformation campaigns, and cyber attacks. Among the factors that can affect national security are also included the proliferation of weapons, climate change, and natural disasters.

The program also includes the modernization of military infrastructure, the development of an operational anti-aircraft defense system, equipping the National Army with equipment interoperable with that of partner states, and the reconstruction of the military camp in Bacioi.

Today, the Old Style Orthodox Christians celebrate the Holy Prophet Elijah

by Editor Editor 02.08.2026

Christians who follow the old-style church calendar celebrate the Holy Prophet Elijah on Sunday. He is known as a great miracle worker and bringer of rain during drought. In popular tradition, he is considered the protector of crops, reports IPN.

According to the Church, the Holy Prophet Elijah is one of the 16 great prophets of the Old Testament. He lived over 800 years before the Birth of the Savior Jesus Christ, during the reign of King Ahab, in the kingdom of Israel, with its capital in Samaria.

It is considered among the people as a bringer of rain, after he saved the people of Israel from death through prayer, when they were punished by God with three and a half years of drought. It is also said that, after Saint Elijah’s day, the heavy summer rains will begin.

Characteristic of the holiday is the fact that on this day fruits and vegetables are sanctified. Also, on Saint Elijah’s day, bee honey is blessed, after which it is eaten together with cucumbers, but this ritual is not a church one, but comes from the people.
