Romanian premier Ilie Bolojan said he would vote for a referendum on a union with Moldova, echoing President Maia Sandu’s earlier statement that she would support a merger. Bolojan said a union would be a step toward EU integration for Moldova and confirmed that his stance has aligned with the president’s for years. He also noted that the idea would be to give Moldova a path to European development through Romania. The premier’s comments come after former prime minister Nicușor Dan said he would also vote for a union if a referendum were held. No policy changes have been announced yet, but the statements signal growing political support for closer ties between the two countries.
