- IDIS Bulletin: It’s not the “package” or “separate” approach that will make possible EU membership for Moldova, but the insistence on internal reforms
After consistent efforts, Moldova is among the leaders in the region in the race for European integration. At this moment, both Moldova’s and Ukraine’s relations with the EU are practically at the same level of development. In these circumstances, any statements of the Moldovan authorities asking for a separate approach in the European integration process might upset Kiev administration, generating negative effects as regards the openness of Ukraine towards Transnistrian settlement. It is noteworthy that when Ukraine was implementing better the reforms and was closer to EU, it did not advance the idea of decoupling itself from Moldova. However, placing these two neighboring states in a “package” approach seems to be a risky strategy, because it makes them dependent on each country performances, which could lead to future charges on inefficiency or slow running internal reforms. In this context, it is obvious that the surest way for Moldova to advance in its European integration path is the continuity of reforms, together with the acquis harmonisation.

09.04.2010 - Moldova: What a Difference a Year Makes
Exactly a year ago, Moldova was a mess. Two days after parliamentary elections, on April 7, 2009, initial results showed the Communist Party with a lead big enough to maintain control over the legislature and government, if not the presidency. In a country where freedom of expression had become an ideal, not a reality, and following an electoral campaign tightly controlled by the governing Communists, frustrations boiled over among some protestors, especially youth who took to the streets and ransacked the parliament and presidential buildings. Three people died in the violence, and others were subsequently subjected to brutal treatment and abuse by police. |

21.01.2010 - Moldova's window of opportunity
Ask most Americans and Europeans to identify Vladimir Filat or find Moldova on a map and you’re likely to get a blank stare. Both, however, are worth getting to know. Filat is the new prime minister of Moldova, a small country of four million people that emerged from the break-up of the Soviet Union nearly 20 years ago and borders Ukraine and Romania. Despite its size, Moldova is an important piece to the puzzle of trying to achieve the vision of a Europe whole, free, and at peace. |

23.09.2009 - MOLDOVA AFTER THE 2009 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Parliamentary elections held on 5 April 2009 in the Republic of Moldova were not recognized by opposition parties (including those that passed the threshold), nor by most politically active youth, mainly students. This resulted in mass protests on 6 and 7 April against the alleged fraudulent elections, followed by mass arrests and documented cases of inhuman treatment, including torture of hundreds of arrested young men and sexual humiliation of young women. |

04.05.2009 - ROADMAP
FOR NATIONAL RECONCILIATION AND EUROPEAN INTEGRATION IN MOLDOVA
The political crisis after the general elections in Moldova has seriously shaken the foundations of the rule of law in the Republic of Moldova. Accusations of electoral fraud and large use of administrative resources by the incumbent government have not been prevented, generating street riots and major political tensions. Instead of responding to these frustrations, the authorities accused the protestors and the opposition of a ‘coup d’état attempt’, resorting to mass arrests and physical mistreatment of peaceful protestors. Recognition by the Constitutional Court of the final results of elections will not end the stalemate; moreover, mistreatments on the police side are added to the allegations of electoral frauds. Thus, a national reconciliation can be ensured only through the implementation of a Roadmap, which is to be accepted by all actors, political parties and the civil society involved, focused on the restoration of the rule of law, legitimated elections and European integration of the Republic of Moldova. The current document is an initiative of Moldovan civil society, which is extremely concerned of the necessity to establish a crisis management mechanism. The purpose of the document is to suggest the first steps out of the stalemate, with the following objectives: |

28.04.2009 - Degradation of Political Regime Continues in Moldova
Following our Statement on the Political Crisis in Moldova (10 April 2009), new signs have emerged indicating a severe political deterioration in the country, in particular the increasingly anti-democratic nature of the political regime in Moldova. The government authorities are now impeding the work of independent civil society and independent media at a time when independent voices are essential to witness and investigate human rights abuses carried out by the police authorities cine the elections of 5 April 2009. |
