She said this on the air of PRO TV Chisinau.

“Chisinau has fundamentally important steps to resolve this conflict.

It is very important for us that any decision does not interfere with the European integration aspirations of Moldova, this will be the number one condition in the negotiations, ”RIA Novosti quotes Sandu.

She acknowledged that European integration itself "will not come tomorrow."

“Even if we get the status of an EU candidate country,” Sandu said.

The President could not answer the question when Moldova will join the European Union.

Sandu noted that "everything will depend on the geopolitical situation."

On May 19, Speaker of the Moldovan Parliament Igor Grosu said that the Moldovan authorities plan to resume dialogue on the settlement of the conflict with Transnistria in the 5+2 format after the situation in Ukraine is resolved.
