visa regime

The European Commission’s eighth report under the Visa Suspension Mechanism on the monitoring of EU visa-free regimes noted the persistence of significant problems, including in Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine, Logos Press reported.

Since 1991, Moldova within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) has signed 82 treaties at the meetings of the CIS Council of Heads of State and 269 treaties at the Council of Heads of Government. To date, Chisinau has denounced 64 treaties. According to the government, the move is part of “a continuous process of harmonizing the national policy, as well as the country’s legislative and economic framework with the EU standards and norms”.
