Among others, he indicated that Moldova&#8217;s European integration, which was a priority for the country&#8217;s foreign policy promoted by the previous government (2009-2010), did not contradict its cooperation with Russia, or Moldova&#8217;s membership in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), or Moldova&#8217;s neutrality (read: not aspiring for NATO&#8217;s membership). <\/p>\n<p>In particular, Lupu says that the Republic of Moldova wants to have visa-free travel with the EU and sign an agreement on free trade with the EU. At the same time,&nbsp;Marian&nbsp;Lupu&nbsp;stressed that&nbsp;his country&nbsp;must maintain existing visa-free travel and free trade with Russia and other CIS countries. <\/p>\n<p>Does he really think that the EU will sign a visa-free agreement with a small and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/foundation.moldova.org\/publications\/eng\/78\/\">poor Moldova<\/a> that has visa-free arrangements with Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia ex-Soviet republics and all other countries that form the CIS? If Lupu indeed thinks so, he is a naive. If he does not, he is probably not telling the whole truth to his countrymen and to Moldova&#8217;s foreign partners. <\/p>\n<p>The acting Moldovan president favors an automatic extension of the Russia-Moldova treaty for another 10 years. What Lupu does not say is that there are provisions in this treaty that are detrimental to Moldova&#8217;s national security and to the regional security, for that matter. For example, Russia can intervene with its military force in Moldova should there be an internal conflict, such as is the so called Transnistrian conflict, the &ldquo;frozen&rdquo; 1992 Russia-Moldova brief war that took place in the Eastern part of the Republic of Moldova. Since then, the Moldovan central government cannot control this territory that is supported militarily, financially and politically by the Russian Federation. Russia, according to the treaty, is the &quot;guarantor&quot; of peace in Moldova. In other words, Russia, from a party of the conflict turned herself into a &quot;mediator&quot; and &quot;guarantor&quot;, with the acceptance of Moldovan political leaders (the 2001 treaty has been ratified by the Communists of ex-President Vladimir Voronin and the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.e-democracy.md\/en\/elections\/parliamentary\/2001\/opponents\/beab\/\">Braghis Alliance<\/a>, headed by Dumitru Braghis, an ex-leader of the Soviet Moldavia Communist Union of Youth). <\/p>\n<p>Since 1991, the head (self-described president of the internationally non-recognized entity) of this Eastern <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/politicom.moldova.org\/news\/transnistria-or-moldavian-transnistrian-republic-just-facts-174611-eng.html\"><strong>rebel region<\/strong><\/a> of Moldova is Igor Smirnov, a Russian citizen and reportedly an officer of Russia&#8217;s intelligence agencies.
