She was asked if she considered this policy "timid".

“I would not call our policy timid.

We are observing a very tense situation on the border between Ukraine and Russia, we see what happened on the energy market.

We are a small country in a very difficult region, and I would call our policy smart.

We are promoting a calm, balanced policy, ”TASS quotes Gavrilitsa.

According to the ex-President of Moldova Igor Dodon, over the past year, relations between Chisinau and Moscow have deteriorated significantly, but he hopes to fix this.
