Petras Auštrevičius noted that the European partners want to see the results of the investigation of the bank frauds and the names of the persons who were behind these. The fight against corruption should be continued, while the state institutions in Moldova should be depoliticized.
“The European Union sees a partner in the Republic of Moldova, as Moldova is a partner of the EU, and the partners speak openly and sincerely between them. We are open for cooperation with the Republic of Moldova,” stated Petras Austrevicius.
For his part, Prime Minister Pavel Filip assured the European official that the Government he heads is determined to make effort to overcome the crisis in Moldova. The Government’s work is aimed at regaining the confidence of the people and the external partners.
