Joining the European Union represents the best guarantee for the rights of all citizens, regardless of ethnicity or language, as it will bring strong institutions and equal opportunities. The statement belongs to President Maia Sandu and was made during a meeting with the OSCE High Commissioner for National Minorities, Christophe Kamp, who is on a visit to the Republic of Moldova, reports IPN.

The head of state mentioned that the protection of ethnic minorities’ rights and the strengthening of social cohesion remain priorities for the state. In this context, Maia Sandu highlighted the progress made in the past year in the field of multilingual education and social inclusion, achieved in cooperation with the High Commissioner’s Office.

During the meeting, the two also discussed the situation in UTA Gagauzia. The President emphasized the importance of organizing free and fair elections in the autonomous region, as well as the need to ensure a healthy informational environment. At the same time, Maia Sandu stated that the reform of local public administration does not affect the special status of Gagauzia, guaranteed by the Constitution. Also, the head of state specified that the specifics of the Taraclia district will be respected.

At the end of the meeting, the officials reaffirmed their commitment to continue cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and the High Commissioner’s Office of the OSCE for national minorities.



The National Agency for Energy Regulation will examine on Friday the request from Energocom regarding the increase in natural gas prices. The subject was included on the agenda of the ANRE meeting on July 24, reports IPN.

Energocom has requested an increase in the regulated price for consumers connected to low-pressure distribution networks from 13.35 lei to 19.37 lei per cubic meter, excluding VAT.

The request is motivated by the increase in natural gas procurement costs, against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the volatility of international markets. According to Energocom, these have generated an estimated tariff deficit of around 106 million lei.
