The Foreign Ministers of Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine had a trilateral meeting today in Chernivtsi. During the event, the officials adopted a joint declaration confirming the significant progress made so far and highlighting the important potential of this coordination format, reports IPN.

The discussions focused on economic cooperation, European integration, energy security, infrastructure and modernization of border crossing points, combating disinformation and hybrid threats, as well as the security situation in the region, announces the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chisinau.

Romania has reaffirmed its firm and consistent support for the accession path of Moldova and Ukraine to the European Union.

“The accession of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine to the European Union will substantially contribute to the construction of a united, peaceful, and secure Europe. And peace for Ukraine means peace for the Republic of Moldova,” mentioned Minister Mihai Popșoi.

This time, in addition to the three countries, the discussion was joined online by the foreign ministers of Poland and Lithuania, Radosław Sikorski and Kęstutis Budrys.

During the discussion, topics related to common threats in the Black Sea and Baltic Sea regions were addressed, whose counteraction requires close cooperation.

“Through our active coordination, we also contribute to ensuring the stability and security of the Black Sea region and set a standard in our neighborhood relations,” declared the Romanian Foreign Minister Oana Toiu.



Official documents issued in the Republic of Moldova and Germany may now be used in each other’s countries with only an apostille, without the need for the legalization procedure. The measure enters into force following the Federal Republic of Germany’s withdrawal of the reservation it made in 2007 when the Republic of Moldova acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention, IPN reports.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the decision was made following steps taken by Deputy Prime Minister Mihai Popsoi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, during his May 18–19 meeting with his German counterpart, Johann David Wadephul.

The ministry emphasizes that the new system will eliminate the need to visit multiple institutions or diplomatic missions to have documents legalized, which will reduce both the time required and the costs incurred by citizens. The simplified procedure will apply to official documents such as birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates, criminal records, academic diplomas, and diploma supplements.

The Hague Convention on the Apostille entered into force for the Republic of Moldova on March 16, 2007. With its implementation in relations with Germany, the Republic of Moldova will benefit from the same simplified procedure for the recognition of official documents as it does with all 130 states and entities that are parties to the convention.

Maritime schools could be opened in Moldova following the full transposition of relevant European legislation. The statement was made by Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Bolea, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, who noted that there is growing interest in such programs, including from Ukrainian citizens affected by the war, according to IPN.

Vladimir Bolea stated that the new regulations will allow seaman’s books to be issued based on studies completed in the Republic of Moldova at authorized institutions.

The minister told the press that, at present, no ships are sailing under the flag of the Republic of Moldova, but the authorities are working to transpose European legislation and develop the legal framework necessary for the development of this sector.

According to him, the state and the Naval Agency could generate significant revenue both from ships sailing under the Moldovan flag and from institutions that train seafarers.
