European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, emphasised this Tuesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels the importance of Moldova's accession process to the EU, as a check on Russia's sphere of influence.
Marta Kos stated this at a briefing organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, where she discussed, among other issues, Moldova's accession process to the EU.
Kos explained that the European Commission is working to open the first working groups with Ukraine and Moldova as soon as possible, with the aim, first and foremost, of building an independent judiciary "capable of effectively detecting corruption, guaranteeing the freedom and independence of the media, and ensuring fair public procurement".
