Creation of information center in Moldova announced in Brussels

The European Union's priorities in the strategic partnerships with Moldova are aimed at preventing disinformation and strengthening the armed forces. In this regard, investments are being made to strengthen the capabilities of the armed forces and work is being done to create an information center in Chisinau, Ionela Maria Ciolan, a research officer focusing on the EU's security policy, stated in Brussels, IPN reports.

"Since the war in Ukraine began, a hybrid war by Russia on the Republic of Moldova also began," said Ionela Maria Ciolan. In this regard, the European Union helped Chisinau through a partnership mission, especially in the security and defense cooperation policy.

The research officer stressed that the European partners’ mission is designed to help Moldova increase the administrative capacity, cope with hybrid and cyber-attacks and everything related to digital resilience.

Last year, the Republic of Moldova concluded the first partnership for peace, security and defense with the European Union. Through it, Brussels is supposed to help the Republic of Moldova strengthen its military capabilities. In this way, the EU contributes financially to help candidate countries increase their level of stability.

According to Ciolan, the Republic of Moldova in the last 3 years was allocated €135 million designed to strengthen the armed forces and to improve cyber infrastructure.

The fight against disinformation is another EU priority related to Moldova. The EU Partnership Mission in the Republic of Moldova is working in this direction with relevant organisations and ministries in Chisinau to help build a national information centre.

"Moldova will be helped to resist Russian aggression campaigns in the online environment," assured Ciolan. She added that the power of disinformation was felt in the last election and that the election was influenced by the "massive campaign of attack staged by Russia".
