The main obstacle in Moldova’s foreign policy is the deterioration of democratic standards, Nicu Popescu, Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for European Policy Studies, Brussels, told Info-Prim Neo, being requested to comment on the progress of Moldova’s foreign relations two years after the parliamentary elections of March 6, 2005. Popescu says the key to an efficient foreign policy that would make Moldova closer to Europe are the internal reforms. Moldova can not have a European foreign policy if the internal realities remain post-soviet, expert asserts. After the government’s pressures on “Pro TV Chisinau”, “Antena C” and “Euro TV” stations in 2006, mass-media in Moldova is less pluralist than it was two years ago. With such a stock, Moldova will never have an efficient foreign policy, expert says. In the cited source’ opinion, the problems related to Moldova’s foreign policy arouse from the internal policy, while the centralisation of power leads to a spontaneous and incoherent foreign policy.
