CHISINAU -- New Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat has told RFE/RL's Moldovan Service that Chisinau might seek "common action" with Kyiv in its efforts to join the European Union.
Moldova and Ukraine are among six former Soviet republics that have been promised closer ties with the 27-member bloc -- including broader EU market access and visa-free travel -- in exchange for economic and democratic reforms in an EU program called the Eastern Partnership.
From a Radio Free Europe article, I find it difficult to believe that there will be common action between Moldova and Ukraine. The new government in Moldova hasn't proven its political durable, while Ukraine's presidential election will keep the faction leaders distracted at home.
