The Romanian authorities never miss an opportunity to express that idea, both during mutual visits or at meetings at European level. The commission chairman also said that Hungary, which on 1 January took over the rotating EU presidency, also supports eastward expansion.
Titus Corlatean: “In May, Hungary will hold a significant summit on the EU’s further enlargement in the Western Balkans, including Croatia. That is a trend that the Hungarian presidency wishes to maintain, considering that states in the west of the union, that have been members for a longer time, are not exactly happy with the expansion. We have to be advocates of that process, because it is in our best interest, in terms of security, economically, strategically, to have the European Union expand in the Balkans, as well as in the eastern space, with the Republic of Moldova. This is a strategic trend, a strategic direction that Romania has to support.”
Corlatean believes that the result of the November elections in Chisinau, which resulted in the formation of a pro-European, democratic government majority, confirms Moldova's chances of getting integrated into the EU. In late 2010, the Alliance for European Integration, made up of three non-Communist parties, was re-established in Chisinau. Also, EU foreign ministers, gathered at the recently held EU General Affairs Council in December, said that countries in the Western Balkans had to go on implementing political and economic reforms in the run up to their EU accession. The EU foreign ministers insisted on the need for the rule of law to be consolidated through the reform of the justice system and on greater efforts to be made for fighting corruption and organized crime.
