Russia’s war against Ukraine has placed Moldova in a precarious position. The country faces security and economic challenges, including hybrid threats, energy dependence, and political interference. At the same time, the ongoing EU accession talks offer a historic opportunity for European integration—though under increasing pressure from external actors.
Ricardo Giucci, Managing Director of Berlin Economics, will take part in the discussion on Moldova’s EU integration, where economic prospects, political challenges, and external influencing factors will be examined in depth.
