The head of state briefed the Government members on the results of the meeting of Moldova-EU Cooperation Council and the meetings held with the European officials during his recent visit to Brussels.

The country has proved that it possesses the capacity to achieve European objectives, noted the president, instructing the Government to draw up a list of persons who contributed in this direction to reward them with state distinctions. “The European integration is the strategic line Moldova must follow, and we have reached a political consensus on this.
