Moldovan MP Ina CoÈ™eru, who chairs the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs and European Integration, discussed Moldova’s path to EU membership, emphasizing that the goal is to be ready by 2028, contingent on a pro-European parliamentary majority. She stated that the key to this goal is passing the upcoming September 28th elections. CoÈ™eru confirmed that Moldova and Ukraine will remain synchronized in their EU accession negotiations, starting together on the Fundamentals cluster, despite earlier discussions about separating the processes.

Key challenges include combating corruption, requiring the judiciary to deliver on high-profile cases involving oligarchs and past political schemes. She noted that judicial reform is ongoing but faces resistance. Regarding Transnistria, CoÈ™eru believes the region’s economic viability is weakening due to Russia’s energy supply changes, and a “Re-integration Plan” is being discussed. She believes that solving the Transnistrian conflict is necessary for EU accession but does not believe it must happen before Moldova becomes a member state.

MOST is co-funded by the European Union.

The MOST – Media Organisations for Stronger Transnational Journalism – project aims to drive innovation within the foreign reporting sector and strengthen the resilience of non-profit and independent media in their coverage of European issues. By bringing together six specialised non-profit media outlets and one human rights-focused organisation, the project will establish a collaborative platform for the exchange of knowledge, resources, and content among the participating partners and other media outlets focused on foreign reporting or European topics.

Building on a decades-long commitment to specialised and non-profit reporting, the initiative seeks to enhance the visibility of Southeast and Eastern Europe within the European public sphere, while reinforcing journalistic practices to combat misinformation and disinformation.

Coordinated by OBCT, the hub will promote the exchange of best practices in creative business models, news production, and distribution processes. Additionally, the project will explore the potential of AI and collaboration, encouraging peer-to-peer learning among partners and engaging with the wider community of specialised digital non-profit media.
