“The current government, by betting on the EU, has made a colossal strategic mistake. They forgot about the real benefits of cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union. We are losing the enormous opportunities that this bloc provides,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
According to Shor, the EAEU could have given Moldova an expanded market for goods, support for farmers and new investments, but the current regime preferred political games to development.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the EU’s decision to begin negotiations on the accession of Ukraine and Moldova was politicized.
Also, the leader of the opposition party “Vozrozhdenie” Natalya Paraska noted that it is the authorities who want to break off relations with Russia and the CIS, not the people.
