Here is what Adrian Lebedinsky, head of the Moldovan delegation to the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly, said about the current situation. He says that if Moldova withdraws from the CIS agreements, it will deal a new blow to its economy. It could lead to even more people leaving the country.
Over the past year, about 100,000 people have already left Moldova. Lebedinsky explains that for a country of 2.5 million people, that’s a lot. He says Moldova is trying to pass laws to make it more convenient for foreigners, including labor, to stay. However, this may not be effective as long as energy prices remain high.
