In a communiqué, the PLDM says that Moldova is the only Eastern Partnership country that has fulfilled all the conditions required for enjoying a liberalized visa regime.

He said the realization of the Visa Liberalization Action Plan included the implementation of sensitive, but important reforms.
Vlad Filat expressed his conviction that the document will obtain the necessary number of votes and the European Parliament will soon vote in favor of the abolition of the visa requirements.
