Moldovan Parliament Votes to Withdraw from Statutory Agreements of the CIS

The Moldovan Parliament has officially voted to denounce the statutory agreements of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a decision that has garnered widespread attention in political circles. According to the news agency Point.md, the initiative received support from 60 lawmakers, indicating substantial backing for this move among legislators.

The denouncement of the agreements was initiated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, which justified its decision by stating that the core values and principles of the CIS are not being upheld. Specifically, the ministry's statement emphasized that member states should recognize and respect each other's territorial integrity and the inviolability of existing borders. However, it was noted that Russia, which has violated these principles, is waging war against Ukraine, committing acts of aggression against Georgia, and has unlawfully stationed its troops on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.

This action is not only political but also strategic, as the denouncement of the CIS agreements represents a crucial and inevitable step towards Moldova's accession to the European Union. The country's authorities believe that abandoning the CIS agreements will allow for better alignment of national policies with European standards and norms.

To date, Moldova has already denounced approximately 70 agreements with the CIS as part of its process to align national policies with European standards, as well as to modernize the country's legislative and economic framework. This demonstrates the Moldovan government's determination in its pursuit of Euro-integration and the strengthening of the country's independence.

Previously reported, on March 11, Moldova initiated the procedure for final withdrawal from the statutory bodies of the Commonwealth of Independent States when the government approved the denouncement of the CIS's foundational documents. This decision served as an important signal of Moldova's intentions to strengthen its position on the international stage and to distance itself from the influence of states that do not adhere to international norms and standards.

Thus, the Moldovan Parliament's decision to withdraw from the statutory agreements of the CIS marks a significant milestone in the Euro-integration process and will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the political and economic development of the country. Moldova continues to move towards European values, striving to distance itself from the influence of post-Soviet structures.
