The U.S. Ambassador to Moldova, William Moser said he is “very optimistic” that Moldova will be successful at the upcoming Vilnius Summit.<\/p>\n

“I’m very optimistic, because I think that Moldova has made exceedingly good progress toward its European-integration agenda. And I think the future of that integration agenda promises are very, very bright,” William Moser said in an interview with RFE\/RL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that Moldova will have a better economy if it further integrates in the European Union.<\/p>\n

“If you look at the countries that have joined the European Union over the last 20 years, they have seen tremendous growth in their job prospects and in their exports. I feel that that is the future that can be true for Moldova, as well,” the U.S. Ambassador based in Chisinau stressed.<\/p>\n

The Republic of Moldova is expected to initial the Association Agreement with the European Union at the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius this year. The EU-Moldova deal will help the country to export its goods to the European market at lower tariffs.<\/p>\n

The official added that the economy is growing but not as much as Moldova would like it to. He suggests continuing with the implementation of reforms that are for a better integration in the European market.<\/p>\n

“Most importantly in that regard is to seriously tackle justice-sector reform and eliminate corruption. If you look at the one thing that holds business development back in Moldova, it is the amount of corrupt behavior on the part of officials and judges in the country,” Mr. Moser emphasized.<\/p>\n

He specified that investors need a fair and transparent environment that will not threaten their business. The American official mentioned that businessmen “don’t want to invest in the country if they think the process is rigged against them.”<\/p>\n

“Businessmen don’t mind competing, but what they don’t want to do is have their resources taken away from them because of some corrupt decision. So, if you really want to improve the country’s economic prospects, you’ll really work on the corruption problem. And I urge all Moldovan citizens to think about this,” William Moser added.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador urged the citizens of Moldova to “stay engaged in the political process” and make the leadership do what the citizenry want them to do. According to him, this can be achieved by both being politically active and casting their votes in elections.<\/p>\n

“Moldova can have a brighter and more successful future if its citizens stay engaged in the political process and really shape the future that they want to have,” Mr. Moser said.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
