A new financial support package for the Republic of Moldova will be prepared in 2027, European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos said on 9 November 2026 in Chișinău, according to MOLDPRES. The official linked progress in accession negotiations with the European Union to the continuation of reforms.
What support did Marta Kos announce?
A new financial support package for the Republic of Moldova is planned for 2027, according to statements by Marta Kos at the annual Conference on EU Enlargement. The Commissioner presented this intention in connection with the implementation of the Growth Plan.
Kos linked European investment to improving infrastructure, access to clean water and better access to the European market for entrepreneurs. She said European support also aims to create jobs in the Republic of Moldova.
What else is needed to open all negotiations?
The Republic of Moldova has opened negotiations on 4 of the 6 clusters, or groups of negotiating chapters, according to MOLDPRES. The other 2 could be opened by the end of 2026, but this step is awaiting the Council’s agreement.
The European Commission is completing its positive assessment of the criteria needed to make progress, Kos said. The Commissioner stressed that the functioning of democratic institutions and the continuation of reforms remain relevant to moving towards closing the negotiating chapters.
Under what conditions could negotiations be concluded?
Concluding accession negotiations by 2028 is an achievable goal in Marta Kos’s assessment, provided the pace of reforms is maintained. The Commissioner described 2027 as a decisive period for achieving the results needed to make progress.
Kos cited the 2026 EU Report in support of her assessment of the Republic of Moldova’s progress. The reforms mentioned by the official include the evaluation of judges, known as vetting.
