Preparation of Moldova’s Public Sector for Negotiations and Integration with the European Union
(March 2025 – December 2025)
The goal of the project is to increase the capacity of the Office of European Integration (OEI) of the Moldovan State
Chancellery and Deputy Prime Minister’s by training Moldovan officials who are involved in EU-accession negotiations and
are responsible for Moldova’s internal EU-integration process. It also increases the institutional capacity of OEI that would
enable to develop and implement EU-related training programs in the future. Sharing Estonia’s experience in various EUintegration
related aspects enables to enhance the capacity of Moldovan officials to successfully conduct accession
negotiations and to administer EU-integration activities. In the training process officials from different areas provide
information on structural reform needs for Moldova on its European path. Moldova Diplomatic Institute is also engaged as
a partner in the project.
