Moldova’s bid to join the European Union received a boost Thursday as a senior official in the bloc said the country will likely soon be able to start accession talks.
The nation of about 2.6 million is working to formally launch negotiations on joining the EU by the end of June after gaining approval to open the talks in December. President Maia Sandu has also called a referendum to be held in October to cement the government’s course toward the bloc amid warnings of potential Russian interference.
