FIA Moldova, represented by Ana Groza – Executive Director and member of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) from the EU enlargement candidate countries (Enlargement Candidate Members – ECMs), participated in a hybrid format in the Committee’s Plenary session, a high-level platform for discussions dedicated to the European Union enlargement process.
Participation in this format provides representatives of civil society from candidate countries with the opportunity to contribute to the Committee’s consultative work and represents a concrete mechanism for gradual integration. Thus, partners in the accession process are progressively involved in European structures and processes, even before formal accession.
The Republic of Moldova has already opened two negotiation clusters and, from a technical standpoint, is ready to open the remaining four. In this context, it is essential for the country to advance not only in opening negotiations but also in implementing the benchmark criteria for each chapter.
FIA Moldova highlights the essential role of civil society not only as an observer of this process, but as an active and responsible participant that supports the implementation of reforms, monitors the fulfillment of commitments, and contributes to strengthening the accountability of public authorities to citizens.
