November 10, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Moldova is preparing to align itself with the remaining European Union\u2019s sectoral sanctions against Belarus and Russia, Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Pop\u0219oi said during a conference on EU enlargement in Chi\u0219in\u0103u on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decisions to this effect are expected to be made soon, Pop\u0219oi was quoted as saying by the television channel Moldova 1<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, Moldova has aligned itself with 91 percent of the EU sanctions and now needs to join the remaining sectoral restrictions on Belarus and Russia to be fully in step with the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop\u0219oi indicated that Moldova is devising support measures to mitigate the negative impact of the planned new restrictions on companies cooperating with Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moldova has to bring its foreign and security policy into full conformity with the European Union as part of the EU accession process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moldovan Agriculture Minister Eugen Osmochescu said in early October that Chi\u0219in\u0103u was considering joining EU sanctions on Belarusian and Russian mineral fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are discussing full alignment with the sanctions imposed by the European Union on Belarus and Russia,\u201d he was quoted as saying. \u201cWe have already embraced them, leaving out fertilizers. We need to find new suppliers offering competitive prices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Ukraine, Moldova began aligning itself with EU sanctions against Belarus after obtaining EU candidate status in June 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Vasily Tofan said last week that Moldova might introduce a visa requirement for Belarusian citizens as part of preparations for becoming a member of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
