“The full and effective integration into the European Union can offer us the guarantees of security, peace and dignity that the citizens need. We need the European Union that can help us to protect and enforce the basic human rights and freedoms under firm security guarantees against any conventional and nonconventional threats (heroism, cybercrime), as the Baltic nations (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) could build welfare and safety after joining the European Union,” says a Statement on the assumption of the European course issued by the Committee for Unity and Wellbeing.
The Committee says that the Statement is issued ahead of an essential moment of our history. In several days, the European Commission will present the opinion asked by the European Council and the European Parliament following the Republic of Moldova’s request to be granted the accession candidate country status.
It warns the authorities about problems related to the correct informing of the population in the process of preparing the accession candidate’s file and to the persuasion of the EU member states. It warns about the inadmissibility of the temptation to politicize the European course for the benefit of one political party and pleads for the immediate signing of a national consensus agreement for accession, which would serve as a national commitment in the complete and irreversible process of accession to the EU.
The entry into the EU implies the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict by the demilitarization, de-criminalization and democratization of the occupied territory. “We will have the obligation to address in the most serious way the methods of resolving the dispute in the eastern districts of the Republic of Moldova, which is a frozen conflict following the Russian military aggression of 1992, which is inspired, financed and conserved in its current form by the Russian imperialism, through the complicity of corrupt groups,” runs the Statement.
The Statement has been signed by mayor of Strășeni Valentina Casian, ex-Ambassador to Lithuania Igor Klipii, ex-Ambassador to the U.S. Igor Munteanu, ex-Ambassador to Russia Anatol Țăranu, economist Veaceslav Ioniță, etc. It can be signed by other citizens who support Moldova’s accession to the EU. The adherence messages can be sent to the Committee’s email address comitet.unitate@gmail.com.
