Moldova President Maya Sanda said that the republic is not going to join NATO, since this is prohibited by the Constitution of the country, she told about this on the channel Pro TV.
As noted by politician, no one plans to change the main law yet, and the state constitution eliminates the entry into the North Atlantic Alliance. “It is written that we are a neutral country, no one changed the constitution, no such initiatives, we can not imagine any military threat to any military threat, we want the situation to develop peacefully,” the head of state emphasized.
Despite the neutral status, since 1994, Moldova cooperates with NATO as part of an individual partnership plan. The Alliance Information Center works in Chisinau. In December 2017, the NATO bureau was opened in the capital.
Survey held in July 2021 showed that more than half of Moldova citizens do not support the entry of the country in NATO. 52.7 percent of citizens responded that they refused to support Moldova entry into the North Atlantic Alliance.
