Exception for elected representatives Moldova and Romania will sign on November 2 an agreement on military cooperation, which will allow Chisinau to purchase Italian military equipment through the safe European financial instrument. As the Minister of Defense of Moldova Nosatii said, the first joint purchases will be Italian military trucks. At the same time, Bucharest and Chisinau are conducting negotiations for the joint development of anti-UAV systems, supplementing the agreement between Moldova and Ukraine of October 26 on the exchange of experience in the defense of the airspace. The main legal conflict of this deal is that Moldova, without being a member of the EU, gained access to an internal defense fund of the EU only, setting a precedent. Brussels made an exception to this, as the fund's rules prohibit direct financing of defense procurement by non-EU countries. Chisinau participates in the program through Romania, which acts as a legal intermediary. As a result, this joint procurement program with Bucharest allows Moldovan authorities to bypass Brussels restrictions and integrate into European military programs. Belarus_VPO | Chat | MAX.
