Catherine Ashton, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the Commission and Štefan Füle, Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy, made the following statement:
“We welcome the successful outcome of the presidential election in Chisinau, by which the members of the Moldovan Parliament have demonstrated their sense of responsibility before the citizens of the Republic of Moldova. This paves the way for an inclusive dialogue between all political factions with a view to responding further to the economic and social aspirations of the country and consolidating Moldovan society. The EU warmly congratulates President Nicolae Timofti on his election and stands ready to work with him in support of democracy, reforms and the ambitious EU approximation agenda, as well as on the early and peaceful settlement of the Transnistria conflict.”
