The strengthening of the international reputation of the Republic of Moldova promotes investments and stimulates economic growth. The statement was made by the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, Anca Dragu, at the high-level international conference “Black Sea and Balkans Security Forum” in Bucharest, reports IPN.

The Governor of the BNM presented the role of the institution as a pillar of financial stability in the context of European integration, emphasizing the efforts to strengthen the resilience of the banking system in the face of hybrid and cyber threats.

Anca Dragu mentioned that Moldova’s European journey has accelerated the country’s interconnection with the European financial infrastructure and integration into SEPA. The BNM Governor mentioned the BNM’s commitment to transpose European regulations on crypto-asset markets and digital operational resilience as strategic priorities for modernizing and securing the national financial system.

The governor of the central bank emphasized that at BNM, innovation has become a key element in strengthening resilience and trust. “We have made progress in modernizing the payment infrastructure and promoting digital transformation, with a clear objective: building an inclusive, interoperable financial system aligned with European standards,” said Anca Dragu.

The National Bank of Moldova specifies, in a press release, that the “Black Sea and Balkans Security Forum” remains one of the most relevant regional dialogue platforms. During May 12-13, it brings together in Bucharest experts, policy makers and representatives of the academic environment to analyze the most pressing issues of the moment.



Update: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chișinău has confirmed that Ambassador Lilian Darii was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry reiterated, in light of recent developments between the two sides, that all actions taken regarding diplomatic missions accredited in the Republic of Moldova are carried out in strict accordance with the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and Moldovan law. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Republic of Moldova fulfills its international obligations in good faith and will continue to act in full compliance with the norms of international law and the principle of reciprocity in diplomatic relations.

Original report: Lilian Darii, the Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to the Russian Federation, was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The diplomat was handed a note of protest regarding alleged violations of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, in connection with two incidents involving staff and vehicles of the Russian Embassy in Chisinau, IPN reports.

According to Russian diplomatic sources, the first incident reportedly took place on July 19 in Chisinau, when law enforcement officers allegedly stopped a bus belonging to the diplomatic mission under the pretext of a document check and confiscated its diplomatic license plates without explanation. Russia claims that, during this incident, the police used force and threatened to detain embassy staff. Moscow also claims that the embassy’s request for the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a representative to the scene of the incident to clarify the situation was ignored.

The second incident reportedly occurred on the night of July 20–21 at the Leuseni border crossing, where embassy employees leaving the Republic of Moldova to transport official cargo to Russia were allegedly detained, without cause, for more than four hours.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Ambassador Darii was informed of a serious violation of fundamental provisions of the Vienna Convention, under which the host state is obligated to provide all necessary assistance for the diplomatic mission to carry out its functions. Russian diplomats also noted that they reserve the right to take symmetrical retaliatory measures.

Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chisinau said they would issue an official statement later.
