The document is valid for three years. It was signed by Moldova’s Minister of the Interior, Daniella Misail-Nichitin, and the Executive Director of the EUAA, Nina Gregori.

One of the main objectives of the agreement is to bring Moldova’s asylum system closer to EU standards. To this end, plans are in place to improve application processing procedures, train specialists and strengthen the capacity of state bodies in the event of a sharp increase in the number of people seeking protection.

Particular attention will be paid to reception conditions. As part of this cooperation, there are plans to develop infrastructure and procedures for accommodating asylum seekers, as well as to improve support for children and other vulnerable groups.

For Moldova, the agreement is also significant in the context of European integration. Cooperation with the EUAA is linked to the country’s fulfilment of its obligations under the EU accession negotiations, including Chapter 24 on ‘Justice, Freedom and Security’.

However, the ‘Roadmap’ is not a rigid plan covering the entire period. Priorities may change depending on the migration situation, Moldova’s needs and the progress of the country’s negotiations on accession to the European Union.
