According to a press release from the Moldovan Government, the European official stated that keeping the same pace will help Moldova further approach its objective. Vlad Filat stressed that the statement made earlier this week by the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, and namely that the negotiations between Moldova and the European Union on the Association Agreement could be completed in 2013, is a confirmation of the fact that Moldova's European integration efforts are duly appreciated.
