Risks and climate conditions in the countries where the diplomatic missions and consular offices of the Republic of Moldova are accredited are to be assessed under a common mechanism. On 3 November 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) announced the start of drafting the proposal, and is accepting recommendations until 17 November 2026.
What rules are to be drafted?
The draft Government decision will cover how to determine the level of risk and assess climate conditions in the countries where the Republic of Moldova’s diplomatic missions are accredited. According to the MFA, the aim is to ensure that these assessments are carried out through a unified, transparent and objective mechanism.
The draft is being prepared to implement Article 27(5) of Law No. 761/2001 on the Diplomatic Service. The MFA’s announcement concerns the preparation of the rules and does not set a date for their entry into force.
How can recommendations be submitted?
Stakeholders can submit proposals on the drafting of the project by 17 November 2026. The MFA has provided the email address vilen.murzac@mfa.gov.md for submitting recommendations.
The requested recommendations concern the development of the assessment mechanism, not the application of rules that have already been approved. The announcement does not set out specific assessment criteria or a classification of countries by risk or climate conditions.
