Mircea Abrudean meets Igor Grosu in Bucharest on Moldova EU bid
Mircea Abrudean met Igor Grosu in Bucharest on 12–13 May 2026 and discussed projects linking Romania and the Republic of Moldova, with moldova’s European integration at the center of the talks. Abrudean said Romania remains alongside the Republic of Moldova, while Grosu tied the meeting to closer parliamentary cooperation and strategic infrastructure work.
Bucharest meeting on Moldova
Abrudean, the president of the Senate of Romania, said the two countries need stability, solid partnerships and close cooperation between Bucharest and Chișinău. He said the discussion covered projects that bring the two sides of the Prut River closer together, and he described the main objective of the Republic of Moldova as European integration.
Grosu, president of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, said he had a good discussion with Abrudean at the Romanian Senate. Grosu said the relationship between the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova and the Parliament of Romania is close, and that the two parliaments have common projects that connect them increasingly.
Romanian and Moldovan parliaments
The meeting fit into a broader pattern of parliamentary cooperation that the two sides have been presenting as part of the relationship between Romania and the Republic of Moldova. Grosu said parliamentary cooperation plays an important role in strengthening the partnership between the two countries, and he said the work will continue on strategic infrastructure projects.
That cooperation also links directly to the Republic of Moldova’s path toward the European Union. Grosu said he and Abrudean will continue working together to complete strategic infrastructure projects and to bring the Republic of Moldova closer to the European Union.
Forum in Bucharest
The Bucharest talks took place alongside Grosu’s participation in the Black Sea and Balkans security forum in Bucharest on 12–13 May 2026. Grosu is scheduled to be a keynote speaker at two discussion panels and to be received at Cotroceni Palace by Romanian President Nicușor Dan.
The forum is set to address progress and challenges in the Republic of Moldova’s EU accession process, giving the Bucharest meetings a direct institutional frame. For Moldova, the immediate practical reading is that support from Romanian parliamentary leaders is being paired with talks on infrastructure and accession work rather than left at the level of general political backing.
