Moldova may join EU without Transnistria — President Sandu

Moldova is determined to seek EU membership even without the unrecognized republic of Transnistria if the settlement process takes too long, Moldovan President Maia Sandu said.

"We hope that we will be able to settle the Transnistrian problem. But if we fail to do this in the next several years, it doesn’t mean that we will put off European integration for ten or twenty years. This is not a solution for us. We want to [get integrated] together. If not together, it will be done in two steps," she said in an interview with the Moldova 1 television channel.

According to Sandu, Brussels doesn’t demand that Chisinau settle the Transnistrian problem before being integrated into the European Union. She stressed that Moldova is opting only for peaceful, diplomatic ways of settling the problem.
