Moldovan government advances EU integration and environmental policies
Moldova's government announced key priorities including EU accession, passed a comprehensive biodiversity program, and introduced dual vocational training subsidies.
Prime Minister Vasile Tofan reaffirmed that joining the European Union and attracting foreign investment remain top priorities for Moldova during a meeting with foreign ambassadors.
In recent cabinet proceedings, ministers approved the 2026–2030 Biodiversity Program, which targets ecosystem restoration and aims to expand protected natural areas to at least 10 percent of national territory. The government also introduced a financial mechanism reimbursing businesses 50 percent of eligible costs for participating in dual vocational education. Separately, annual regulatory data revealed that water utility supply losses fell to 30.3 percent in 2025.
However, political opposition criticized the cabinet's decisions. Civic Congress lawmaker Mark Tkaciuk denounced the government's rejection of an electoral reform proposal, calling the move "predictable cowardice."
