РИСКИ ДЛЯ ЕВРОПЕЙСКОЙ ИНТЕГРАЦИИ В КОНТЕКСТЕ ВНУТРЕННЕЙ ПОЛИТИКИ МОЛДОВЫ: ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ

Abstract

The Republic of Moldova is one of the leaders of European integration among the post-Soviet countries. In April of 2014 Chisinau was the first after the Baltic States which received a visa-free regime with the Schengen countries. Although this privilege applies only to the holders of biometric passports, and only for short trips without the right to work, this event is of great importance for the country's inhabitants. However, visa-free regime perhaps is the only truly major and notable achievement of the Republic of Moldova authorities, who have declared the course of European integration as the only vector of external development in 2009.
