In
\n2010, when Romania and Germany marked 130 years of diplomatic relations,
\nChancellor Angela Merkel visited Bucharest. 13 years on, her successor at the
\nhelm of the government in Berlin, Olaf Scholz, also visited Romania, and the
\nsensitive issues addressed in the discussions with President Klaus Iohannis included,
\nas in 2010, Romania’s accession to Schengen.<\/p>\n

\noutside the \u200b\u200bfree movement area because of Austria’s opposition, Romania
\nmaintains its main goal of joining Schengen and has a strong supporter in
\nGermany. I hope, said Olaf Scholz, that accession will take place this year.
\nRomania, he said, has met all the requirments and we need secure borders.
\nBecause Romania is neighboring Ukraine, a country that is militarily attacked,
\nand because the war has serious consequences for the Republic of Moldova, a
\nneighbor of both, the Iohannis – Scholz bilateral in Bucharest was joined by the Moldovan president
\nMaia Sandu. Romania will continue to support the Republic of Moldova, was the
\nfirm message conveyed by President Klaus Iohannis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
We will keep supporting Chisinau, firmly
\nand unwaveringly, all the more so as the Republic of Moldova is subject to
\nsystematic hybrid pressures, including attempts to undermine its constitutional
\norder. The Republic of Moldova is on the front line,
\nfaced with the consequences of the war on its border and with Russia’s extremely
\nvirulent and destabilizing actions, all of which are strongly impacting the
\ncitizens.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In turn, President Maia Sandu stated
\nthat Europe is strong thanks to the unity and firmness with which it defends
\npeace and people’s lives. The Republic of
\nMoldova is the most vulnerable neighbor of Ukraine, affected by the war and the
\nhybrid attacks orchestrated by the Kremlin, Maia Sandu stressed. According to
\nher, the country needs economic support, but also to strengthen the capacity of
\ninstitutions responsible for the security of citizens and the defense system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Maia
\nSandu thanked Romania and Germany for their support: <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The
\nsupport of our partners, Bucharest and Berlin in particular, is highly
\nappreciated. Thank you for supporting peace, prosperity and our European
\nfuture. For its part, the Republic of Moldova ensures, together with Ukraine,
\nthe security of over 1,200 km of European border.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The
\nRepublic of Moldova is part of our European family, it is not alone and
\nbenefits from massive international support, the Chancellor of Germany also
\nstressed. Olaf Scholz voiced his worries over the reports regarding Russia’s
\nattempts to destabilize the Republic of Moldova. The sovereignty and
\nterritorial integrity of each state are inviolable, that’s why we are doing all
\nwe can to support Moldova defend itself from all these destabilization attempts,
\n the
\nGerman Chancellor concluded. (MI)<\/p>\n
