Five European states consider the Parliament of Moldova “the best place to discuss all political issues” in the current constitutional crisis. In a joint press release, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland and Sweden argue that the democratically elected parliamentary majority has made important decisions, including the creation of a new government. At the same time, it urges calm and peaceful resolution of the crisis.

“France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland and Sweden have noted with close attention the recent developments in the Republic of Moldova. Following the Parliamentary elections, a democratically elected Parliamentary majority has taken important decisions including the formation of a government.

In the current constitutional crisis, we see and support the Parliament of Moldova, as the representative of the people of Moldova, and as the best place to discuss all political issues including controversial ones.

We call for calm and restraint. All the sides bear responsibility for the resolution of this constitutional crisis by peaceful means.”

Both the European Union and the Russian Federation have previously announced they are ready to collaborate with the new Government.
