EU's Kallas: Transnistria Conflict Won't Block Moldova's EU Path

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated that the unresolved Transnistrian conflict does not preclude Moldova's EU integration, signaling a potential policy shift in Brussels' approach to enlargement. This deviates from prior EU conditionality that often linked accession progress to conflict resolution. The statement may bolster Moldova's reform momentum but faces uncertainty given Russia's influence in the breakaway region.
