Council of Europe adopts new Action Plan for Republic of Moldova

The Committee of Ministers, representing the 46 Council of Europe member states, has adopted the Action Plan for the Republic of Moldova 2025-2028, drawn-up with the country’s national authorities and civil society organisations. The Council of Europe will continue to support the Republic of Moldova’s efforts to bring its legislation, institutions and practice further into line with Council of Europe standards regarding human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

The action plan will help the country to implement ambitious reforms that are key for its European Union accession process, including the rule of law, justice and fundamental rights. The Republic of Moldova was granted EU candidate status in June 2022 and the Negotiation Framework was adopted in 2024. It will also help the national authorities to address the challenges posed by regional and global crises and to counter the effects of the ongoing war of aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

This is the fourth Council of Europe action plan for the country since 2013. It builds on best practices and achievements of previous action plans and opens up new areas, such as the fight against trafficking in human beings, the prevention of drug use and addictions, increased involvement of civil society and youth participation in democratic decision making. The overall financing needs for this action plan are estimated to be €30 million.
