Moldova has a new Cabinet!

On 21 July, Parliament granted a vote of confidence to the cabinet led by the new Prime Minister, Vasile Tofan. Mr Tofan is a political newcomer with a business background inheriting a compressed reform agenda. The programme of the new Cabinet sets out five priorities: economic development, EU integration, streamlining the government system, security, and citizens' quality of life. The declared goal is to sign the EU accession agreement by the end of 2028 and prepare the country to join the bloc by 2030. Most of the previous cabinet remained in place, with changes in four portfolios: Victoria Belous (Finance), Alexandru Gasnaș (Health), Radu Musteață (Agriculture), and Dan Suruceanu (Culture). Continuity has been kept for the deputy prime ministers on European integration (Cristina Gherasimov) and reintegration (Valeriu Chiveri) — signalling steady hands on the two dossiers where slippage is least affordable.

Advancing Parliamentary Reform through European Expertise

On July 7-8, 2026, the Twinning experts held consultations with members of the Committee on European Integration, chaired by MP Marcel Spatari, Deputy Chairwoman MP Ana Calinici, and MP Igor Talmazan from the Committee on Legal Affairs, Appointments and Immunities.

The discussions focused on the proposed amendments to the Parliament's Rules of Procedure, with particular attention to the recommendations put forward by the Twinning experts. The exchange provided an opportunity to examine comparative European practices and discuss practical solutions for further strengthening the parliamentary procedural framework in line with European standards.

The dialogue subsequently continued with representatives of the General Legal Directorate, the General Directorate for Parliamentary Documentation, and the Secretariats of the Parliament's Standing Committees, reaffirming the importance of a collaborative and inclusive approach to the ongoing review of the Rules of Procedure.

By bringing together Members of Parliament, parliamentary officials, and Twinning experts, the consultations demonstrated the value of structured institutional dialogue, peer learning, and international cooperation in supporting reforms aimed at enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness of parliamentary work.

Through sustained knowledge exchange and technical cooperation, the Twinning Project continues to support the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova in strengthening its institutional capacity and advancing its European integration agenda.

Recognising Public Service and Advancing Parliamentary Cooperation

On 23 June 2026, the EU-funded Twinning Project participated in the Public Servant Day event organised by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova at the Codrii Natural Reservation.

The event recognised the dedication and professionalism of public servants and highlighted their essential role in building transparent, accountable, and citizen-oriented institutions in the context of the Republic of Moldova’s European integration process.

As part of the event programme, the Twinning Project contributed to a dedicated session on strategic communication and institutional development, bringing together representatives of the Parliament’s leadership and secretariat, development partners, and communication experts. Representing the Project, Dr. Asimina Gerasidi, Component 3 Leader, presented key approaches and recommendations developed under the Project on strengthening parliamentary communication, enhancing public outreach, and effectively communicating the European integration process.

In addition, discussions focused on the implementation of the Parliament Communication Strategy 2026–2029, highlighting the importance of strategic, inclusive, and citizen-centred communication in strengthening transparency, accountability, public trust, and democratic participation.

The exchange of expertise and practical recommendations of the Twinning Project, development partners and communication experts reaffirmed the importance of coordinated support in advancing the Parliament’s institutional development in line with European standards.

The celebration marked the international recognition of Civil Servants’ Day, honouring the contribution of public servants to good governance, strong institutions, and quality public service.

June 10, 2026 - Strengthening parliamentary oversight on the road to EU accession

Twinning experts met with the Committee on Social Protection, Health and Family of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova to discuss the strengthening of parliamentary oversight and a series of related priorities for the EU accession process.

Discussions focused parliamentary oversight, the scrutiny of budget ex*****on, and the oversight of EU funds, areas where robust parliamentary control is essential for transparency and accountability.

Greek experts shared the experience of the Hellenic Parliament in exercising effective oversight functions, offering concrete insights and good practices that can inform Moldova's own institutional reforms.

The meeting marks another step in the ongoing cooperation under the Twinning Project supporting the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova in its EU accession process.

June 9, 2026 - Workshop on best practices of oversight over governments' related activities to EU Affairs/Integration: from Committees to the Plenary.

A workshop on best practices in parliamentary oversight of government activities related to EU affairs and integration — tracing the process from committee level all the way to the plenary, was organized by the Twinning team.

Bringing together staff of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, the session explored how parliaments can exercise effective, structured scrutiny over the executive throughout the accession process — ensuring that the commitments made on the path to EU membership are matched by genuine accountability at home.

A valuable part of the day was the sharing of experience from Greece and Italy, whose parliamentary practices offered our Moldovan counterparts concrete insights and lessons drawn from their own engagement with EU affairs and integration.

Robust oversight is one of the quiet engines of European integration. It is how a parliament stays informed, how it holds government to account, and how it keeps citizens at the centre of a process that will shape the country's future.

June 9, 2026 - Building European programmes together!

Out twinning team met with the Moldovan Parliament staff to exchange experience and good practices on the implementation of European programmes.

The meeting offered a valuable opportunity for EU member-state and Moldovan colleagues to share practical insights, discuss lessons learned, and strengthen common approaches to managing and implementing programmes in line with EU standards and procedures.

Exchanges of this kind are at the heart of Twinning: it brings expertise from across institutions together to build lasting capacity within the Parliament and to support Moldova's path towards the European Union.

June 9, 2026 - Our twinning experts team held a peer-to-peer review session for the staff of the Parliament.

Applying the methodology developed under Result 1.3, participants jointly reviewed the Draft Law no. 152 on access to property by providers of public electronic communications networks and the use of infrastructure — a file directly relevant to Moldova's alignment with the EU acquis in the field of electronic communications and the development of digital infrastructure, creating an enabling legal framework for the EU Regulation 2024/1309 (GIA).

Through peer-to-peer exchange, EU member-state and Moldovan experts shared good practices to strengthen the quality of the draft and its compliance with EU standards.

This kind of collaboration is at the heart of Twinning: building lasting capacity within the Parliament to support Moldova's path towards the European Union.
