Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zaharova accused US ambassador to Chisinau, Dereck J. Hogan, of “open and non-appealing” interference in the process of forming the new parliamentary majority in Moldova.<\/p>\n

“The so-called open letter to Moldovan deputies, recently made public by Dereck J. Hogan, is a truly unique document through its directness and cynicism. This is a direct dictate for Moldova from the US,” she said at a Moscow briefing, writes TASS<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thus, commenting on an article by Ambassador Hogan published in the Chisinau press, Moscow’s spokesman said it was clear that the only way for Moldovans to live better is to strengthen relations with the US and Europe, and that the only way problems could be solved is through a “return to Western values”.<\/p>\n

Moreover, according to her, “what looks more like an instruction” describes how and what internal reforms should be made by the Chisinau authorities, how cybersecurity has to be strengthened, tighter controls on foreign companies that tend to influence important infrastructure, how to diversify energy resources.<\/p>\n

Reminder:<\/strong> In the context of the February 24 parliamentary elections, US Ambassador to Moldova Dereck J. Hogan sent an opinion article to the ZdG<\/a>, stressing the fight against corruption, for the independence of the judiciary, but also for the transparent creation of a credible government<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Dereck J. Hogan mentioned that the United States has two key priorities in bilateral relations between the US and the Republic of Moldova:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    To promote the development of powerful government institutions – including stronger anti-corruption mechanisms and a more independent judiciary;<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    To strengthen the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova and to allow it to continue its European path while maintaining constructive relations with its neighbors.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On the other hand, in April, a mission of American businessmen interested in investing especially in the fields of industry, agriculture, information technology, and communications and tourism will arrive in Chisinau.<\/p>\n

    Furthermore, at the end of April, the Republic of Moldova will be visited by a delegation of the United States Congress.<\/p>\n

    This was discussed today<\/a> during a meeting of Prime Minister Pavel Filip with US Ambassador to Moldova Derek J. Hogan.<\/p>\n
