The political class in Moldova must establish cooperation relations if the parties of the Alliance for European Integration (AEI) and the opposition back Moldova’s European integration aspirations, considers Andrzej Halicki, chairman of the foreign policy commission of the Polish Seim, Info-Prim Neo reports. “We had different parties in power – left, right, center-left, center-right - but they always cooperated between them in issues of major importance, in the European integration matter. It is something strange when only three parties are taking part in the discussions on Moldova’s integration into the EU with different European officials. If you say you want the country to become part of the EU, you must be ready to cooperate in this respect. If you have a public voice, it must be expressed and heard,” said the Polish official. Polish Ambassador to Moldova Bogumil Luft expressed the same opinion. He said the path to European integration is hard for any country as it implies work, patience and political cooperation in different areas. “The road to reforms was incredibly dramatic for Poland, with extremely tense political moments. The progress on this path often does not depend on those that follow it. Cooperation is needed between the opposition and the government and determination on the part of the politicians and civil society. But there is also needed work, time and the change of mentality, which can take place with the change of generations,” said Bogumil Luft. Igor Corman, the head of the Moldovan Parliament’s commission on foreign policy and European integration, said Moldova has all the chances to become a success story as regards the integration into the EU if it ensures political stability. “The reforms depend on political stability. We must ensure this stability and elect the head of state. There were cases when the authorities in Brussels were disappointed. We would not like to lose this opportunity,” he said. The discussions were held within the roundtable meeting “Priorities of the Polish Presidency of the EU Council” organized by the Embassy of Poland and the Foreign Policy Association.
